I've always wondered if open source could benefit from crowd funding.

Kinda like bug bounties. Hit funding goal x for feature y.

We may feel miserable about Something one day, and be able to laugh at it the next. Clearly the biggest challenge to our happiness is the mind.

I put myself in time out if I catch myself acting poorly to/around my kids. It's a real time out too just like they do.
Hockey really cooked with the penalty box. Need more adult time out, tbh

X is horrendously toxic
Meta is incredibly sterile

"Wicked" does not synch up to "Dark Side of the Moon" at all. Sorry to everyone in the theater.

I might need to develop an algorithm to block bot followers. I'm getting a lot of suspicious follows.
