Okay so it’s going to depend on where you’re from and what you like doing!
My fave things about Portland:
Depending on your neighborhood and where you work, you can live without a car. (Having a car does mean far more impromptu trips out of town! And we have amazing places within an hour or two’s drive of Portland: mountains, the ocean…) It’s just relatively easy/pleasant to bike, walk, or take Tri-Met.
Lots of amazing places to eat, drink, have coffee
Lots of people are willing to be silly just for the fun of it
Once you start doing things, you will run into people you know everywhere. I dunno how many times I’ve tried a new thing (a pub trivia night! Contra dancing!) and run into people I know from other things. I imagine that it must feel suffocating to some people? I love it.
Speaking of which, though; there’s fun shit to do like. Every day.
Karaoke. Sorry I just love karaoke.
ADVICE! much which assumes you’re moving from a place that is not the PNW:
Get a decent rain coat with a hood that you don’t hate wearing, and comfy waterproof or water-resistant shoes. You can’t let the rain stop you from doing things or you just…won’t do anything. (Also, cotton sucks ass in the rain. Synthetic fibers and/or wool are your friend. Especially wool-blend socks.)
Visit as many city parks as you can—they’re all gorgeous. They also have free events in the summer, like movies!
If you get a library card for Multnomah County there’s multiple other counties that allow you to have a library card—including Washington (to the west) and Clackamas (to the east). We have an amazing library system. The downtown library is also just PRETTY and worth a visit!
I’d wait until spring, but consider getting a bicycle. Portland is great for cycling compared to most American cities, and there’s fun bicycle rides going on all summer (shift2bikes.org for event listings). If you drive, expect cyclists. Everywhere. We have a right to take up the lane on streets without bike lanes, side note. Plz don’t honk or pass too closely.
How to keep up on local news, politics, and events: the Willamette Week is online and in paper form, free from boxes all over town. The Portland Mercury used to be print but is now online-only. This site is just event listings: https://www.pdxpipeline.com/events/
OH ALSO some quirks of Portland geography:
There are six quadrants: NE, SE, south waterfront, SW, NW, and north Portland. (North is never just called “north” it’s always called north Portland?? Same with south, it’s always south waterfront)
In general, it’s twenty blocks per mile. Numbered streets run north-to-south; named streets run east-west (…usually). If you’re on a numbered street, the address counts blocks from Burnside.
Numbered streets count blocks from the river, or (in the case of NE and North Portland), from N Willams.
So 2753 NE 15th would be 27 blocks north of E Burnside, a bit less than a mile and a half; and 15 blocks east of N Williams. 1350 SE Hawthorne would be 13 blocks east of the river.
The streets in NW are in alphabetical order and you’ll notice that a BUNCH of Simpsons characters were named after those streets. Some are also in NE, which means 1. Yes there’s a NE Flanders 2. They’re sometimes graffitied exactly how you’d expect.
Speaking of street addresses: “the northwest is odd”: odd-numbered addresses are on the north or west side of the street. (Except in St John’s, which is in North Portland.)
Also seriously there exceptions to all of the above because of course there are lol.
“Downtown” with no modifiers is the inner west side, near the river. Some of the old streetcar suburbs also have “downtowns,” usually of a handful of blocks on one street, so “downtown Montavilla” is a thing that exists.
People really like knowing what neighborhood they live in and will often mention it it asked: I live in Hosford-Abernathy, just south of Ladd’s Addition. (The city-defined neighborhoods aren’t always the ones people use; “felony flats” is not an official name but people living there sometimes still call it that instead of Foster-Powell!)
Couch St is pronounced “cooch.” Willamette is pronounced “will AM it.” Glisan is pronounced “GLEEsin.” Also it’s ORigun. Not oreGON.
Anyway that’s. Too much information. Probably.
Anyway walk to the top of Mt Tabor some day after arriving and enjoy the views and smell the trees; they really are just fucking GREAT.
i'm moving out to Portland to start a new job, but it wasn't my first choice job. i'm feeling pretty bummed about it, but i want to be excited and happy to be going out that way! what can i be excited for? what are everyone's favorite things about life in Portland?
Hey, first of all, I’m sorry you didn’t get your first choice. That is a rough feeling. But I really hope Portland will be a joy for you to discover. I haven’t lived there myself, but I bet folks will chime in to share their favourite things. (🙏)
In the meanwhile I did scrounge this up from Reddit:
But I like to think you’ll feel absolutely spoiled by living in such a beautiful setting. PNW cities are really so special for being able to offer you the chance to just slip out of a metropolis into lush, green, quiet spaces and then head back to town with dirt on your boots, peace in your heart, and a proper appetite worked up for something pleasantly greasy and fried.
And especially now that so many people are moving in to PNW cities, I think it’s a lot easier to pick up friends than it was even a decade or so ago.
Wishing you the absolute best of luck in your move! 💙🌲💙

RSA Algorithm: A Trusted Method for Encrypting and Securing Data
The RSA algorithm is a commonly used method for secure data transmission in the field of cryptography. It is a type of public-key encryption, which means that it uses two different keys for the encryption and decryption process: a public key and a private key. The public key is used to encrypt the data, while the private key is used to decrypt it.
What is the RSA algorithm?
The RSA algorithm is a powerful encryption method that is widely used to protect sensitive information. It is a type of public-key encryption, which means that it uses two different keys for the encryption and decryption process: a public key and a private key. The public key is used to encrypt the data, while the private key is used to decrypt it.
RSA was first introduced in 1977 by Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman, and since then it has become the de facto standard for secure data transmission. It is based on the mathematical properties of large prime numbers, making it one of the most secure encryption methods currently in use.
The RSA algorithm works by first generating two large prime numbers, p and q. These prime numbers are used to calculate a third value, n, which is the product of p and q. The value of n is used as the modulus for both the public and private keys.
Read about – Cheap Code Signing Certificate
Why is the RSA algorithm used?
The RSA algorithm is used for secure data transmission because it provides both confidentiality and authenticity. It uses a pair of public and private keys to encrypt and decrypt messages, ensuring that only the intended recipient can read the message and that the message has not been tampered with. It is widely used for secure communications such as email, file transfer, and VPNs, and for digital signatures, software protection, and secure online transactions.
How does the RSA algorithm work?
The RSA algorithm is a method for secure data transmission. It is widely used in electronic commerce and other communications. The algorithm is based on the mathematical properties of large prime numbers and the difficulty of factoring the product of two large prime numbers.
The basic steps of the RSA algorithm are:
Select two large prime numbers, p and q.
Compute n = pq, where n is used as the modulus for both the public and private keys.
Select a public exponent e, where 1 < e < φ(n) (φ is the Euler’s totient function) and e is relatively prime to φ(n).
Compute the private exponent d, where d = e^-1 mod φ(n).
The public key is the pair of values (n, e) and the private key is the pair of values (n, d).
To encrypt a message, the sender uses the recipient’s public key (n, e) and raises the message to the power of e (mod n). To decrypt the message, the recipient uses their private key (n, d) and raises the encrypted message to the power of d (mod n).
Read About – SSL Certificate
Because the encryption and decryption keys are related by the properties of large prime numbers and modular arithmetic, it is computationally infeasible to determine the private key based on knowledge of the public key. This ensures that only the intended recipient can decrypt the message.
Example of RSA encryption algorithm
Here is an example of how the RSA encryption algorithm can be used to encrypt a message:
Select two large prime numbers, p = 61 and q = 53.
Compute n = pq = 61 * 53 = 3233, which will be used as the modulus for both the public and private keys.
Compute φ(n) = (p-1)(q-1) = (61-1)(53-1) = 3120.
Select a public exponent e, such as e = 17. (e is relatively prime to φ(n) = 3120)
Compute the private exponent d, using the extended Euclidean algorithm. We find that d = 2753.
The public key is the pair of values (n, e) = (3233, 17) and the private key is the pair of values (n, d) = (3233, 2753).

Unparalleled Service [BTS Jimin]
Plot: So your best friend’s a little obsessed with Ariana Grande and happens to have a sour break-up with her beau. She thinks dragging you to Tiffany and Co warrants drinking too many complimentary beverages and bragging about the silver friendship jewelry she’s buying for spite. “She’s a mess,” you grumbled as she dragged one clerk off to look at something. “Don’t worry, my colleague has her all taken care of,” the blonde replied with a smile. “How may I assist you today?”
Rating: PG-13 (Language, slight drunken behavior, bad break-up)
Characters: Tiffany and Co. Clerk!Jimin x Female Reader, Samantha OC, Tiffany and Co. Clerk!Taemin
Notes: Part of the Unparalleled Service series I’ve planned. I own nothing except for the idea and setting. Inspired by the author’s personal encounters with the rare friendly or welcoming clerks in high end brand boutiques. This one is inspired by Ariana Grande’s backstory for her single “7 Rings”.
“I hate him! I hate him! I hate him!” Sam blubbered as she sobbed into your shoulder.
You patted her on the back and let her cry some more, resisting the urge to say, “I told you so.”
Your poor best friend had been dating Mr. Perfect in her mind. He had excellent grades, was in involved in extracurriculars, and worked out. Because they had been together since high school, despite being long-distance at college, everyone was waiting for him to pop the question soon.
But you had your doubts about him since day 1 – on the surface he seemed textbook perfect, but you had a bad feeling about him. You couldn’t put your finger on it, but something told you that this guy wasn’t her end game. His family wasn’t poor, but they were definitely working class, while her family had made their money in a successful family business that started with her grandparents.
About a few days ago, a guy friend of yours overheard him saying that Sam was only his bank account, admitting that she was pretty, but nothing special. Of course he recorded it and shared it with both of you, leading to one hell of a messy break-up. The boyfriend insisted he was goaded by the guys into saying those things, while Sam declared it was over and that she was more than the money in the bank.
A few days later, you decided to check in on Sam, bringing over her favorite foods and a cute Krunk plush you saw at Hot Topic. You knocked on the door of her apartment and frowned when you heard a husky voice chanting, “I want it, I got it” over and over.
“Hey!” Sam said as she yanked the door open. “Aww you’re the best Y/N! Come in, come in!”
“Please tell me you blocked his number,” you asked as you came and pulled the snacks out.
“Oh definitely,” she replied. She ran to her computer and paused the song that was playing. “Sorry, I was listening to Ari’s new hit – I’m obsessed and it’s such a revelation! I mean, she went through that breakup with Pete and I went through a breakup...”
“Oh yeah,” you mumbled as you stashed the ice cream in the freezer. You turned to face her and asked what she wanted to do.
Sam straightened up and studied your outfit. “Sorry, do you have anything nicer?”
“Um thanks?” you replied, trying not to look offended.
“No I didn’t mean it like that!” she backtracked. “Hang on, let me try this again. Look, I don’t wanna sit at home and mope over romcoms. Ari’s track made me think and I realized that an engagement ring is overrated. If I get something sparkly to mark something, I should be getting friendship jewelry with you, my true blue bestie.”
“Aww thanks, but I don’t see why I need to change my clothes,” you said.
“Did you know that Ari took her besties to Tiffany’s and bought matching rings after her split with Pete?”
You shook your head and waited for Sam to explain what she had in mind.
“We’re gonna doll ourselves up, look as rich as fuck, and we’re gonna go to Tiffany’s and get matching jewelry,” she declared.
“Now?”
“Oh hell yes now.”
“I’m buying okay?” she insisted once you got to the mall. “No, you’re not fighting with me on this! No friend has ever been there for me like you have Y/N. Whatever you want, I’m buying okay?”
“Oh okay, I...thank you,” you murmured. “You know I’ll always be your friend, jewelry or no jewelry.”
She nudged you and replied that she knew that. “That’s why you’re the best Y/N, you don’t care if I’m rich or not. That’s why I wanna treat you. Okay?”
You nodded and allowed her to link arms with you as you walked into Tiffany’s.
“I called ahead,” she explained as she walked to the counter. She greeted the woman behind the counter and explained that she made an appointment for a personal shopping experience.
The woman looked up the name and nodded, excusing herself to grab the clerks who would be assisting you.
“Probably the only time I’ll ever come in here,” you murmured, low enough for no one to hear.
The woman returned with two handsome young men dressed in dark suits, introducing them as Taemin and Jimin. Both greeted you with pleasant smiles and part of you had to wonder if Sam begged to have the cutest guys waiting on you.
“Before we begin, may we offer you ladies something to drink?” Taemin asked.
“Champagne please,” Sam spoke up as she stepped closer to him.
You flashed Taemin a small smile and replied that you were content with water for now. The clerk turned to his colleague, who excused himself to retrieve the beverages you requested.
“Oh absolutely not!” Sam declared, shaking her head violently. “This is a best friends occasion – she’s the only one who stuck by my side when my asshole ex tried to go all scrub on me!”
Taemin flashed a sympathetic look at Sam, tilting his head as he reassured her that she was more than just her money.
You resisted the urge to laugh behind your Evian bottle, watching as Sam dragged Taemin to the display where some of the designer collaborations were housed.
“I’m guessing things must have ended recently?” Jimin asked.
You nodded and shook your head, muttering that Sam was a mess. “I love her like a sister and I know break-ups suck,” you added. “...Look I’m not ungrateful for this outing, but you can thank Ariana Grande for inspiring this whole thing.”
Jimin chuckled before turning his attention to you. “Please don’t worry Miss Y/N, my colleague has her all taken care of. How may I assist you?”
You capped the Evian and shrugged, explaining that she wanted you to pick out a piece for yourself as a symbol of your friendship, no budget set. “But I don’t want to go for the most expensive thing here,” you said. “Maybe something understated but easy for every day.”
Jimin nodded as he looked over at the displays. “Is there a jewelry item you wear more often?”
You gave it some thought and watched as Sam tried on a bracelet out of the corner of your eye. You always wore earrings, but you tended to stick to a plain pair of small hoops – they were easy to coordinate with your outfits and you could sleep in them without weird marks. Subconsciously your hand went to tuck a strand of hair behind an ear and Jimin took note of the standard small hoops you were wearing.
“How long have you had those?” he asked, pointing to your earrings.
You paused, meeting his his eyes as your hand remained in place behind your ear. “Um, I don’t know? Maybe since I got my ears pierced? It’s been a while.”
Jimin hummed, eyes glancing over to his colleague who was assisting Sam. He beckoned for you to follow him to a display, and you took another swig from the Evian bottle before standing on one side of the display case to look at the items.
He unlocked the case from his side and pulled out a few pairs of earrings. “I don’t know if you prefer a Tiffany iconic style like our Return to Tiffany series,” he mused, pushing the small heart studs forward, “or if you want something that’s a bit more of a statement. Did you want something from the same collection as your friend?”
You snapped your head over toward Sam and then looked back at Jimin. “What is she looking at?”
Jimin retrieved a pair of delicate earrings with an oval gemstone hanging from a lever back earring. The top of the gemstone was decorated with two leaves in gold metal, making you think of olives for some reason.
“Our Olive Leaf Drop Earrings, which is from the Paloma Picasso line,” Jimin explained. “Your friend is looking at the bracelet in the same line.” He pulled a few more pairs out, each with a different gem stone. “Do you see one you prefer?”
Your eyes scanned over the choices and you pointed to a pair in your favorite gemstone color. He put the other ones back in the case and you asked if you could try them on. He nodded and turned to the back counter to grab a mirror for you to use.
You removed your hoop earrings and placed them carefully on the counter. You removed one earring from the display post and opened the lever, carefully inserting it into the hole. You closed the backing before retrieving the second earring and placing it in the other ear.
Jimin studied you before you fixed your hair so you could see both ears clearly in the mirror. He nodded in approval with a smile and you took a closer look at your reflection.
The earrings struck a nice balance between a slight upgrade to your current pair and being classy enough to wear anywhere for almost any occasion. You blinked as you stared at yourself, turning your head side to side to see each ear clearly.
“OOH! I LIKE!” Sam chirped as she looked over at you. “Is that a yes?”You looked up and nodded with a small smile. She beamed as she flashed her bracelet from the same collection, declaring it was perfect.
“Here you are ladies,” Taemin said as he presented 2 Tiffany blue bags to you. “Thank you again for shopping with us and please feel free to contact us if you have any other needs.”
Sam took her bag and thanked Taemin, while you thanked Jimin with a polite smile. You picked up your bag and linked arms with Sam as you headed out into the mall.
“So...he was cute, right?”
“Who?” you asked.
“Oh come on, Jimin!” Sam insisted. “He seemed into you.”
“Don’t start,” you warned her. “This is about friends today.”
She sighed and draped her arm over your shoulders. “You’re right, but if I’m not gonna get my man, you should.” She pointed to your bag and bet that you probably got his business card.
You rolled your eyes and dug around in the small bag, feeling around for a card. Your fingers found something and you carefully lifted it up to see it was indeed a business card.

17 People, 17 Questions
Tagged by the ever lovely @dresupi 💙
Nickname(s): Jandy and Jess (my grandpa and oldest childhood bestfriend called me Jessie - but ONLY them). I prefer real life people call me Jessica. (though I allow MM to call me Jandy to my face. lol)
Zodiac: Leo on the cusp with Virgo
Height: 5’5″
Last Thing Googled: I Google Translated: Min blodtörstig älskling (which means My bloodthirsty darling btw) - while I was reading Midsommar fanfiction. :)
Sung Stuck In My Head: King Princess - Only Time Makes It Human (a BOP)
Number of Followers: 2753
Amount of Sleep I Got: I was sick today - so I got like 13 hours of sleep but usually I’m at about 6 hours a night.
Lucky Number: 17
Favourite Song: Bizarre Love Triangle - Stabbing Westward
Favourite Instrument: I love listening to the piano. Also a fan of the bagpipes.
Dream Job: I do not dream of labour. (but wouldn’t it be wonderful to be paid to edit fanfiction?)
Aesthetic: This is my personal aesthetic. I made it a couple years ago for our #bugheadfamilyaesthetic thing that went around. It’s still pretty much me. :)
Favourite Author: Jane Austen, Alice Hoffman, and Beatrice Morgan (or did you mean favourite fanfiction author? Then it’s @thepointoftheneedle 😉 )
Favourite Animal Noise: This is a SUPER hard question for me. Maybe a cat purring?
Random: I love Remembrance Day. Canadians always celebrate well - we are very patriotic when it comes to Remembrance Day. One of the biggest anxieties I have this year is worrying about how we will be able to celebrate amid this pandemic. Usually we go to the Royal Canadian Legion’s service, with speakers and bagpipes and wreaths. This year, with so many elderly members of the Legion and with how crowded it always is - I worry how it will be possible to honour our fallen soldiers in person. I may have to stay home and watch the National service instead and that breaks my heart a little. Canadians wear poppies on our coats in November and I wear my poppy with pride. We have a family picture done every year, all wearing our poppies (and my husband in his Red Serge uniform). My daughter drew this gorgeous abstracty picture of poppies a few years ago - and I framed it and it hangs on my bedroom wall. Remembrance Day is a HUGE deal to me. So yeah, that’s a random fact about me.🌺

957.
5k Survey LIV
2751. What's the most interesting assignment you ever had in school? >> I’m not sure. I hope people realise that my last moment in any kind of school was in December of 2005 (and my last moment in high school was June of 2004). I can barely be arsed to remember anything from 15 years ago unless it’s trauma-related. 2752. What's the most interesting thing you ever had to do for work? >> I thought working as a merch seller for local bands was very interesting. I had a lot of fun. 2753. Do you feel: insignifigant? unable to evoke change? like one person can't change the world? like one life and one person's suffering doesn't mean very much? If you answered yes to any of those can you describe why in detail? >> I, personally, feel insignificant fairly often, but that doesn’t extend to thinking that other people are also equally insignificant. 2754. Do you feel like you could contribute as much to society as ____ has? Albert Einstein: Abe Lincoln: Franz Kafka: Jesus Christ: >> Just because I already have self-esteem problems doesn’t mean I’m going to sit here and consciously make “do you have as much worth as these people” comparisons. 2755. Are you aware that your brain is the same size as Albert Einstein's brain? Do you realize that you have the same number of hours in a day as Abraham Lincoln? Did you know that Franz Kafka wrote all of his amazing litterature during his lunchbreaks at work? Did you know that we are all made of matter and that you are made of the Same Thing that Jesus was made of? Do you still believe that you couldn't contribute as much to society as they did? If yes than WHY? >> This is an immensely irritating line of questioning, I hope it’s over now.
2756. Is your mind in the gutter? >> My mind is not in the gutter. 2757. What do you have to complain about? >> Whatever I want to complain about. 2758. Do you remember rock n' roll radio? >> ... Yes? Pretty sure it still exists, regardless. 2759. Is there such a thing as a food that you burn more calories from digesting than you actually absorb from it? >> I don’t know, try google. 2760. Hey, if you've gotten this far than you and me go way back. We've been hanging out for a while now and I gotta know..do you like me? >> --- 2761. What are you doing, Dave? >> --- 2762. As far as love goes do you feel it is better to become complete before looking for someone or find someone who completes you? >> People are already complete, despite however they may feel about themselves. I don’t understand what it means to look for someone who “completes you”, that sounds immensely absurd to me. So I guess I can’t really answer this question except to say “I don’t think people should be thinking about relationships in these terms...” 2763. What attracts you about the opposite sex (or same sex, or both sexes)? >> --- 2764. Do you need people or do you not need anyone? >> Of course I need other people. The fact that I have an attachment disorder is a direct result of my inherent need for other people’s love and support going repeatedly ignored. Even besides that, I need other people to physically survive, because that’s how ecosystems work, and believe it or not, we are still part of nature and beholden to its cycles and systems. 2765. Is selfishness always bad? Is selflessness always good? >> No. 2766. Do you feel like your life is being controlled by a power structure? >> Of course certain elements of my life as a social creature are controlled by power structures. 2767. Can you name three things in society that send the message that being completely yourself and that looking inside yourself and contemplating what's within is a good thing? >> Sigh. 2768. Can you name three things in society that send the message that materialism and the accumulation of stuff is a good thing? >> The entirety of capitalism. 2769. What is more important, a picture or it's frame? What is more important, spirituality or religion? >> These questions truly do get more baffling as time goes on. 2770. How many definitions can you come up with for the wword 'fuck'? >> I don’t have to come up with definitions, google is right there. 2771. Is it less offensive when a black person says Nigger than when a white person says it? Why or why not? >> The context in which a Black person says it is often a far different context from the one in which a white person says it. So, yes. It usually is less offensive by default, unless the Black person being addressed is uncomfortable with the word even when used in a friendly context. 2772. Do you rationalize often? >> Rationalise what? 2773. Do you believe that america is an imperialist nation? >> I mean, yeah. 2774. Would you agree that: hot topic is the new abercrombie? pink is the new black: you are the new you? >> *stares dully* 2775. Do you have more internet or real life friends? >> I only have Internet friends. 2776. What IS the feeding of 5000? >> The what?? 2777. What's an easy way to make money? >> I don’t know. 2778. What's your favorite slang word and what does it mean? >> I don’t think I have a favourite slang word. 2779. Are you uncomfortable? >> Slightly, because of noise issues. 2780. Is anything definate besides death and taxes? >> Taxes aren’t definite for everyone, but death certainly is. I don’t know what else is that predictable. 2781. Would you rather live fast and die young or live slow and die old? >> Living slow sounds nice to me. However it ends. 2782. Can you name 4 people who have committed crimes against humanity? How do you think they live with themselves? >> Probably, but I don’t feel like it. I don’t care how they live with themselves. 2783. If you could imagine, pure fantasy, any God you could concieve, how would you want God to be? >> I can imagine any god I want to imagine. It’s really not that hard, there are already so many to choose from, even if just to use as a template. 2784. do you think the smashing pumpkins have a strong christian theme? >> I don’t know, I’ve never paid a whole lot of attention to their lyrics. Their songs just sound pretty. 2785. Do you think this survey has a strong christian theme? >> I didn’t think that. I hope I won’t have cause to think it in the future. 2786. Fill in the blank for yourself" Give me ____ or give me death! >> --- 2787. Have you ever heard of the USA patriotism act? Apparently they have passed laws making torture legal. Also the FBI can sneak and peek into ANYONE'S home. They don't have to ask or even tell you they were there. This is already the law. So, whaddaya think? >> I mean, yes, I know that. I live here. 2788. The people in power step all over the average citizen, trying to secure all the power and money for themselves and leave us with no rights and under their control. They have the audacity to do this because they know that we will not lift a finger to stop them. Are they right? >> I don’t know if they’re right or not. I’m also not sure what the fuck powerful-ass finger you think we common folk all have. 2789. The Free State Project is a plan in which 20,000 or more liberty-oriented people will move to a single state of the U.S. to secure there a free society. They will accomplish this by first reforming state law, opting out of federal mandates, and finally negotiating directly with the federal government for appropriate political autonomy. They want to be a community of freedom-loving individuals and families, and want to create a shining example of liberty for the rest of the nation and the world. What's your opinion? Could this work? Why or why not? >> Didn’t a bunch of libertarians want to do this at some point? Anyway, I don’t know if this could work or not. I don’t know nearly enough about any of the elements involved to have an informed opinion about the feasibility of this kind of project. It does sound plenty audacious, though (and way too vague). 2790. Have you ever seen the Neverending Story? Remember when Bastian has to prove his worth by looking in that mirror where you see yourself the way you really are with no pretenses, rationalizations or mental lying? Could you stand yourself if you looked into that mirror? >> I do remember that, vaguely. I wanted to rewatch this movie but then I didn’t get to it in time and HBO took it down :( Anyway, I don’t know if I could stand myself if I looked into a mirror like that. I can’t conceptualise what that experience would actually be like. 2791. What is soilent green? >> Oh, you know. (That’s another movie I’d like to rewatch, in fact.) 2792. What are you proud that you have never done? >> *shrug* 2793. What things are hopeless? >> *shrug* 2794. What Are People For? >> Making Soylent Green out of. 2795. What book do you feel could change someone's life? >> Any book could change someone’s life. 2796. Didja ever want to just walk up to the Bush administration and ask them, 'What the fuck?' >> No, I wasn’t really paying much attention to the administration during that time because I had a lot of personal issues taking up my immediate focus. But from what little I remember about it, it’d be a valid question to ask. 2797. How do you take your coffeee? >> Decaffeinated. 2798. Have you ever played: paintball? lazer tag? which is better? >> I’ve never played these. 2799. In what ways are you lucky? >> A lot of ways, I guess. A lot of fucked up shit has happened, but a fair amount of strangely fortuitous stuff has happened, too. Guess something has to even the other shit out. 2800. If Jesse Jackson wants reparations to be given to black people because he thinks that black people don't have equal opportunities in this country than why does he drive a Jaguar? >> “Black people don’t have equal opportunities in this country” is still a fact of life no matter what the fuck kind of car Jesse Jackson drives. Focusing on his personal “success” or whatever like that is just a diversion from the heart of the matter.
