Want Affection, Not Slavery
All we need is food, water, shelter.
All we want is touch and affection.
They expect us to pay for their food and drinks.
They expect us to buy gifts and the kitchen sink.
They want luxuries and money from we.
They want everything, with our slavery.

Remember Happiness Is A Feeling
Sometimes when we're happy our life isn't as good as we think it is. Sometimes when we're sad our life isn't as bad as we think it is.
Be Happy Not Knowing Everything
Happiness may be easier not knowing how everything really works.
Organize Music Into 2-4-6 Singles
I organized my entire music library so that every album now has either 2, 4, 6, or 8 singles or picks in it. Believe it or not, I don't think I have OCD, but it was incredibly rewarding and worthwhile nonetheless.
Proceed In Order To Succeed
Continue to proceed when you don't succeed. The path to your goal was just too steep.
Make Separate Fanless MacBook Chips
I wonder if all MacBooks which are fanless should use separately designed chips, possibly named B-Series and B1, which are more appropriately targeted at the MacBook Air and future powerful fanless devices without throttling significantly or needing a fan.
Why
- MacBooks and MacBookOS can be designed and targeted at powerful fanless MacBooks
- The entire fanless MacBook line could use the same B-Series chips, creating consistency
- Macs and macOS can be designed and targeted at more powerful Mac devices with fans
- The entire Mac line with fans could use the same M-series chips, creating consistency
More
- The MacBook B-Series chips can be targeted at fanless MacBooks and fanless devices
- The fanless B-Series chips can be targeted exclusively to more powerful fanless devices
- Powerful fanless chips targeted at larger devices will be needed in future fanless devices
- Device Ideas - MacBook Air, Apple Vision, iPed Portable Console, MacPad Detachable

Allow Moving And Removing Finder
I wonder if macOS 16 should allow users to move and remove the Finder app from the Dock, and also include it in the Launchpad and Applications folder. For consistency and simplicity, the Trash folder could allow being moved and removed as well, and be included in the locations section of the Finder.
Like Nature And Flowers
I recently overheard the following fleeting and quick question and answer between two people, "Locust like the insect, or lotus like the flower?" "Like lotus the car." Just in case you were wondering if we currently live in a culture of consumerism, capitalism, and materialism.
Create Ideas To Help The World
Individual people with helpful ideas to share may be more powerful and have the ability to change the world more than any time in the history of the world.
Learn To Feel Relaxed And Happier
Feelings of anxiety or depression might simply mean that there is something you need to learn in order to feel more relaxed and happier.
Use Ignorance For Happiness Too
Intelligence and ignorance are two different paths to the goal of happiness, to be followed at different times.
Make Life Better And More Equal
For a better world, I wonder if we need to make a better and more equal life for the average person who does their best to provide any helpful work, regardless of their intelligence and the job or service they end up doing and providing for all of us.
Make Your Life Simpler
Why life on earth can seem so difficult even when it's so simple could be one of the greatest mysteries of this world.
Get Rid Of Money
I wonder if one of the best changes to make society better and happier would be to find a way to completely get rid of money.
Be Willing To Be Condemned
It is better to be willing to be condemned by others who disagree with or don't appreciate your ideas than to live in fear and not express them at all.
Raptors Offseason Strategy Path 2024
Here's a plan for the Raptors going forward, focused on getting all players who are the best 3PT shooters, deprioritizing great athletic defenders unless they'll shoot great too, and leave passing for the best passers on the team to setup 3PT shooters.
Strategy
TLDR - Shooting Yes, Defense Less, Passing Bests
- Build the team around everyone being a great shooter except for Barnes and Chomche
- So, focus less on defense, with defense being best possible only IF they can shoot great
- Put ball in hands of natural best passers like Barnes/Quickley, Mitchell/Mogbo for now
- So, focus less on everyone needing to pass in future, less turnovers, and 3PT specialists
- Keep PG/SG/SF/PF/C players who can be 40% 3PT shooters, defense 2nd skill hopefully
- Keep PF/C players who can be 35% 3PT shooters, defense 2nd skill important for C
Plan
TLDR - Lose This Year, Trade Poor Shooters, Get Great Shooters
- Lose for 1 year and get high 2025 draft pick
- Trade veterans and all poor shooters for young players/picks who are best shooters
- Play the young players more so you lose this year
- Make everyone take catch and shoot 3s, even Mitchell/Mogbo/Chomche/etc.
- Focus on getting the best young 3PT shooters
- Get best defense you can while having everyone shoot, and only great passers pass
- 2024 Raptors Draft Trade Idea
