So I just created my first setup.py file, and it's for winterscrape
If you can get 1,000 people to pay you $100 in a year, that's $100,000...or over twice what I make in my job right now. I don't have anything to sell, really, but that number just kind of blows my mind. I mean, there's lots of people in the world...you only have to find 1,000 that really likes what you make or do and gets something out of it.
Yeah, just look at how much some of the bigger YouTubers make on Patreon...

Especially with the gig economy now not even legally classifying them as employees...http://www.newyorker.com/culture/jia-tolentino/the-gig-economy-celebrates-working-yourself-to-death

I used to think that too.. but now, I want to be able to handle more responsibilities, I want to be strong enough to shoulder larger burdens. That means giving myself more problems.

I witnessed a neighborhood I used to live in become Desi majority over the span of maybe 5 years, while also having a Coptic church not too far. It is a hyperdiverse slab of concrete in a desert.And listen, again I'm not Pat Robertson. I don't think Tarantino or Tarantino fans are homicidal psychopaths in training. I just think that unnecessarily violent media kinda desensitizes you after a while, and that could creep into your perceptions on the world. I only watched maybe the first 10 - 15 mins of Django but that was enough to turn me off. Then again, I just saw 15 mins so idk.Hey, to each their own. I do think that the beginning presented Django as a relatively amoral assassin who killed somewhat indiscriminately, but that changes after the opening sequence. There is a savage within all of us, and Tarantino is communicating with that savage. We don't usually need the savage for any moral purpose, but by the end of the movie I could see a need for Django's to find expression. I'd take another look if I were you, but hey, I like Tarantino.Your upbringing seems a bit opposite to mine, I grew up in a mostly white (some Hispanic) area in Arizona. My mom is half-hispanic, so I'm a quarter, though I mostly just look white imo. Moving to Portland was a shock, for though it is somewhat more diverse than Arizona was, the white people are freshly white (fewer white people with mixed racial heritage), so here I'm basically Mexican, lol.

Everyone has worth and merit and everyone deserves that, especially you, Moot.
When I saw the list of Wintrean nobility I was disgusted at the lack of any members of the Ainurian minority being ennobled. Clearly this is an act of discrimination that will not be tolerated. As is the custom of our people, I will engage all of you in a lengthy and unnecessary fake court battle

Laugh all you want, but if Augustits taught me anything it's that the one thing NationStates was really missing is a complicated judicial process for bringing grievances to the regional government.
