#bootstrapped
Since the fashion of the week is to share our stories' beginnings, let's see how my WIP fares.
Here is the (current, very crude, still uncooked) beginning of my planned novel The Parliament of Centuries:

..costing Americans this false amount and are now such villains that they need to be viciously demonized. It’s bootstrapped bullshit ultimately in service of inciting hate and violence in his easily manipulated supporters. He knows he’s doing it, it’s all he cares about other than money.

An example of Trumpian bootstrapped bullshit. Make up a bullshit situation where Americans have to pay a whole new tax, then illogically claim that it’s a windfall for the American government, then bootstrap the bullshit by claiming that those rejecting this false gambit are ..

Then I eventually figured out that the 6th word on the page was the 6th word I had said, etc, and bootstrapped this into a large enough bank of sight words that whole language ended up working for me.

I finally put an end to Bootstrapped, my old podcast, that had dwindled away to near abandonment.

Why Coworking Spaces in Sector 62 Are the Best Bet for Bootstrapped Startups
For any entrepreneur, starting a business is a thrilling yet challenging journey. But for bootstrapped startups — those operating without external funding — every rupee counts. Choosing the right workspace becomes one of the most crucial decisions in the early stages of building a business.

Anyhow so a lot of capitalism was bootstrapped off of the colonization of Ireland and Turtle Island.

So capitalism began as a Catholic/Protestant, Jewish/Christian and pagan/Christian split with colonialism and then gradually proto-eugenics and racism developed.
Kind of an odd side tangent to argue whether socialism is more white or Christian I guess. I'm just stuck thinking about it though.

I would argue that the utopian socialism predating Marxian socialism is ultimately rooted in feudal criticism of the emerging white capitalism.

Registering my home lab so I can grow my mutant plants for sale later next year! It's so nice working with non-gm plants since you can just go to market immediately. Gonna try to make some revenue to fund the harder projects I have baking.

Yay, bootstrapped flowers!

Had dinner with a bootstrapped founder worth $200M. "Advice?" "Revenue solves all problems. Not funding. Not advisors. Not strategy. Revenue. Focus there. Everything else is distraction."

Wild that GPUs built to render dragons and explosions are now training AI to write poetry & drive cars. Gaming didn’t just entertain us - it accidentally bootstrapped the intelligence revolution. #AI #r4today

Elon really wants you to believe he bootstrapped himself to where he is.

He’s just the poor son of an emerald magnate, given millions only to be booted from everywhere he ACTUALLY had to do any work because it was so mind-blowingly shitty.

Without gov $$ he’s broke.

Take money off the table. Whether its a tender offer in a startup or your own bootstrapped company with profit. It's good to get a cushion and you don't have to be perfect. Totally agree.

What are brand/software names that are riffs on prior brands/softwares, and became more known/prolific than their predecessors?

For example, PostgreSQL vs Ingres, C versus B which came from BCPL standing for Bootstrapped Cambridge Programming Language.

Nope, less than 2k we moved onto a bare croft and bootstrapped our way up from thier, over the next decade. Lots of kids stay on the island, some leave but not all.
