I generally just come here to share links to things I've created but the truth is, I think these things are worth sharing (and creating) and I never come share things looking for a sale, just looking for a connection on something I find interesting.
I wrote this to answer some of the questions I got from email about w3wu.com
How do you separate the genius from the terrorist?
If you've every played the greatest cardgame in the world - you know it's shithead.
Break Free of your Conditioning. Your ass is sacred.
Collaborative storytelling has always been my passion — but the tools never quite fit. So I made one. https://www.w3wu.com is a free platform where creators can: • Build shared worlds • Establish canon and rules • Collaborate across media It’s been tested, used, and refined through real projects. Now I’m inviting others in. Create your own world. Or help shape someone else’s.
Kind of but reddit is so over moderated at this point. You can go in and engage the same way as on Facebook Groups, but not like old reddit where you could just sling shit
I think Huge Weiner is a good domain for it, but the actual name is Overshare. While I don't want any hate or illegal activity, I would like it to catch the worst vibes from X, Tumblr, and 4chan and become populated with absolute filth, trash, and worthless shit.
Small wins = Big life
I found this a really funny thread of answers to read. Maybe Japan should start making historical claims like China does. Japan could claim much of Asia, create a new historical narrative that the atrocities were manufactured fake news and that the oppressed peoples of Taiwan, Korea, Nanjing, South East Asia, and Oceania were illegally forced to leave the Japanese Empire due to propaganda and illegal militantism where the victors then created a fake narrative of Japanese war crimes. Maybe Japan should tear up the peacenik constitution that was forced on it by Nuclear USA and written by a woman from Kansas and turn the SDF back into the Japanese War Machine - revive industries, begin to reclaim territories for essential resources, and once again move towards the creation of a glorious co-prosperity sphere. The US seems to be reviving the NAZI war machine and is only steps away from adopting swastika as a positive symbol, so why not Japan bring back the old flag and mentality too? - I know this is ridiculous. So are most of these comments.
I'm an American who bought a house in Hokkaido and have been living there for 18 months. Hokkaido is wonderful and Chitose is close to Sapporro (more like a suburb), has an international airport (direct flights to Seoul, Taipei, Shanghai, etc) and the bullet train will be completed by 2030 from Tokyo to Sapporro. The nature and food are unrivaled in Hokkaido and in terms of the people and culture - until about the 1880s it was primarily an Ainu place but then large immigration from all parts of Japan which has created a unique culture in Hokkiado with aspects of culture from all of Japan's regions. What has been missing is industry. Resource extraction has been one industry in decline (fishing, timber, coal). Banking and finance have mostly been centred in Tokyo. A high tech chip industry in Hokkaido, in particular if Taiwan is merged with PRC might be exactly the thing for Hokkaido to boom - in particular since it is less prone to natural disasters and climate change may be warming things up.
Seems legit
I just passed through immigration and they punched a hole in my residence card, so now it's official. Still my home, but not a Japanese resident any longer. Such a strange world that can exist this way...On the one hand, it's a bit of a bummer that I couldn't find a way that works with my lifestyle to keep my residency but on the other, being a tourist comes with some privileges. I can now get a JR pass when I return in a month, I can buy things tax free (at least for a while until new changes take effect). So, it's not all sadness on my part.
Interesting developments in a game that becomes more real every day.

Which is worse for the planet?
I said twitter because it already hosts things like @whitehouse and @potus - so in a certain sense it is already fulfilling the function - but any public short message platform would suffice if they held those types of accounts
If you thought the Robinhood crowd changed trading...wait til this happens...wtf?
G+ was glorious in the beginning days. With no qualms it was the best social network I've experienced yet. IMO, what killed it was Google requiring the real names - which I still believe was a good idea - but then the death knell was when they waffled on that. If they would have stood firm on the real names policy, I'm convinced they would still be here today and there is a very good chance they would have surpassed both Facebook and Twitter.
Only if you presuppose that the 'small clique of miners with specialized hardware' represents the same interests as the system that bitcoin is slowly starting to displace.
Perhaps I should have specified anarchy to the system as it currently exists. It's a time bomb built and released to destroy the economic status quo.
You are correct. Thank you for catching that.
The misunderstanding about anarchy is that no one really knows what will come out of it.
We weren't sure if our main demographic would be 'straight' Republican congressmen or angry gay Democrats - this may have been an issue.
To the system as it exists? Absolutely.
I commented something similar to this below - the true value of Bitcoin is that it was put on autopilot and took off - in the meantime, there is no record of who the creator of it is - except a persona called Satoshi Nakamoto. It has been adopted widely enough that it cannot be shut down. It is decentralized, extra-governmental, and you can't sue or indict the founder or a centralized organization. Yes, bitcoin is code. Yes it is being used for the same purposes as fiat and banking. Yes it could certainly still use lots of adaptation. The simple matter that most people don't understand (yet) however is that Bitcoin is Anarchy.
Perhaps the most powerful thing about Bitcoin is that the guy who created it is unknown (if Satoshi was a guy or a lone person at all) and that it mostly runs on autopilot and at this point is not governed by a single body. It can't be sued. The creator of it can't be sued. And yes, more of it can't be made and there is deflation built into it. Genius.
12 years is nothing.
If we had that, we 'wood' have certainly succeeded! Hey...that makes me realize the Cheney Dick could be made out of wood so the splinters would stay with you forever.
lofl!!!!
