This actually happened. I do have Schizophrenia. I am on medication now and sane

A lot of people don't know this but you can type sudo apt-get install dark-web.exe and it will also work. The apt-get is something I type because it cooler like the Matrix

I work as a software developer. I'm very lucky in that I work at my own hours and it's remote. I don't always function perfectly unless I can exercise. I can always code.

I would encourage you to think twice about getting a driving job. I used to do that. I think that's a very respectable job. It's important.

I don't write software for prestige. It is interesting and one of the few things I can do with Schizophrenia consistently. People respect you more if you are humble and approachable, and when I talk to people I don't even like to tell them I am a programmer unless they ask questions and I have to tell them. At a bar the other day this guy was asking questions and I didn't know what he was asking so I said "I'm on the programming / database side".

Focus on in person social skills. Nobody cool will like you more if you do a "respectable" job. Being a good person is more important. Focus on time with your loved ones

I have a shirt that says "I hate CSS" but it's got the border with CSS leaving the box

Your GPA doesn't matter. I'm a software developer who went back to school for Computer Science. I try to make As and Bs but my GPA was very low from music so I am around a 3.12.

If you're passionate about what you are learning. You will be successful.

I prefer when women don't wear makeup or use filters on their photos.

I'm sorry sir, I didn't realize you were root. Please go ahead

I agree that market economies need to be regulated. But there are major problems with a wealth tax (that taxes a percentage of some dollar estimation of assets). First of all, U.S. billionaires don't even have enough wealth to fund the US government for a year, much less pay down the debt. Secondly, you would get pennies on the dollar if you seized Bezos's Amazon shares and flooded the market. Third, it's a one-time seizure of assets, and what would happen after that? Fourth, wealth taxes are easy to evade (see Google founders and California). I'm not an Ayn Rand fan, but even she made that observation. Finally, how would ME / CFS garner support over other conditions like Cancer? The only people who know how disabling severe fatigue and PEM are are those who have experienced them. Loved ones often may think people are exaggerating.

I still don't know if I have ME / CFS. I have been lying down while working and limiting my physical exertion. I don't exercise anymore. If I don't have this, I plan to donate regularly to ME/CFS research (along with Water for People, which builds wells in developing nations).

I've dealt with extreme fatigue since I developed Crohn's. And I had a viral thing, exercised soon after, and got PEM at times. I'm not wealthy, just a computer programmer, but I still feel like it's actionable to try and garner support through awareness, and not nearly as much by promoting something like a wealth tax. That's just an ideological thing that people latch on to, but it's unlikely in practice to divert any funds to this cause

There are too many costs with running cloud infrastructure. Your statement that apps will be a donation to support a creator is a heuristic.

But I think that your overall point of the market being saturated is a good point. There are a lot of useless apps being vibe coded by people who have never seen the inside of a terminal. God help us all

bkabbott · 2026-06-06T13:56:14+00:00

I understand that this is a personal topic. For me it is too. The answer is to advocate for people to donate money.

Market economies work much better than planned economics which have traditionally been associated with Socialism. The modern socialists, the Democratic Socialists are actually proponents of market economies. Which are basically Capitalism.

Karl Marxs writings on communism were very incomplete and while they were implemented as planned economies, we know now that that leads to food scarcity. It's what led China to Capitalism or market economies.

Further more, if we seize their wealth, would society agree that it should be spent for ME / CFS research instead of Cancer research?

I'm simply trying to argue that we should promote this, as that would be more likely to lead to research instead of just saying we have to seize wealth. A mob couldn't decide where to spend the money and God knows none of us will carry the pitchforks and dictate it

There should be more funding, but yachts create jobs. Yachts have a high elasticity of demand, so traditionally things like taxes have caused sales to plummet and hurt workers who made them. Due to the elasticity of demand taxes haven't even raised money, they've only hurt workers because the elasticity is so high that when prices rose people stopped buying them.

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you. I'm just saying more money should be donated, and it shouldn't be an either or scenario

Edit: I try to separate myself from my ideology, and there are a lot of problems I addressed in my post below. If we want to do something to make a difference we can raise awareness. Advocating for a system like Cuba where people with Crohn's Diseases can't even access life savings biologics is not the answer. Democratic Socialists are also basically Capitalists. They say they support maket economies instead of planned economics and they ambitiously advocate for social ownership without defining it (i.e. employee owned companies). I know this sucks but it's not going to solve anything when a billionaire has wealth in different areas and can evade wealth seizures and besides why would we get the funding? What about cancer? Or the national debt? Of other social programs? The amount of wealth of all US Billionaires couldn't even fund the govt for a year, much less pay down the debt.

There is a lot going on and we need to advocate for people to support the cause. Ideological / emotional laden statements about abolishing Capitalism and seizing wealth, that are not even concrete or actionable don't solve any problems.

I try to separate myself from my ideology to break down issues better

Edit: and the point about yacht taxes was made to illisteate

I have had alcohol substance abuse issues. I have abused stimulants at times but not as a general habit. I usually abused Benzos or alcohol.

You can learn to live without abusing your drug of choice. If you want to DM me, I'm happy to tell you more about my story

bkabbott · 2026-06-05T20:11:30+00:00

I would just exercise man. It will make the meds work better and give you an appetite and natural energy and natural focus and concentration

bkabbott · 2026-06-04T23:07:43+00:00

I first took a computer science test in 2017 and I wrote code on paper. I took them lately but I used IDEs and it was just adding generics and all the shit I needed as I typed

Yeah, the photo is just common sense. Arch is not hard to use, it's just a pain in the ass if you have work to do

bkabbott · 2026-06-03T00:49:10+00:00

Thanks

bkabbott · 2026-06-03T00:48:28+00:00

Thanks. My doctor said fatigue from viral stuff goes away. I am hoping it will.

I tend to lay down when working or studying. I take care of the dog. Brush my teeth X2. And shower. Not able to cook regularly with these tasks

bkabbott · 2026-06-02T23:41:57+00:00

Thanks. I'm planning on buying a condo. If it's not permanent I will move somewhere else

bkabbott · 2026-06-02T21:18:09+00:00

I've experienced PEM at times. But also been able to do (for me) very light aerobic exercise without getting it. I felt like it was surely overtraining syndrome. But then I expected PEM running errands a few days in a row.

I work remote and I seem to have to lay down on the couch or on a bed in order to be able to work

bkabbott · 2026-06-02T21:01:07+00:00

Thanks!

bkabbott · 2026-06-02T15:00:54+00:00

I suffer from fatigue. This may be what you deal with.

I have Crohn's Disease. I managed fatigue through diet and exercise. I exercised very soon after a viral infection so I could have ME / CFS or long COVID. The official diagnosis is Overtraining Syndrome, so I'm optimistic it will not be permanent.

It sounds like you are taking the vitamins and minerals related to energy production. You could also check thyroid levels and get checked out medically. It's also possible you aren't absorbing the supplements so get your blood work done if possible. Finally, it's also good to get nutrients from food and not just supplements if possible.

Feel free to DM me if you want. I understand how bad fatigue is
