If Life Gives You Lemons

Lemons are the pandas of the fruit world. They don't exist naturally. They're a crossbreed of citrons & a bitter orange. 

How does that change the moral? 

"When life gives you lemons, it actually didn't. You invented it. So stop blaming life for your own creations."

The People Vs Elon Musk

 How many times are you going to think the football is kickable, Charlie Brown? For those unaware, Elon Musk has begun following the same protocol of shadow bans, debanking and outright removal that he allegedly used to rail against. It's almost as if the ones shouting how they can be trusted with the ring of power, behave the same way everyone before them did- even in a MAGA hat. The answer is and has always been to build & grow your own platforms. Even if Elon was once the hero people believed he was, (jury still out & not looking good) it's infantile to think he would then never take a ticket. In Elon's case, cashing in said ticket- where he uses his ability to manipulate the platform he bought, for his own goals.  Here's the next level though, there's nothing wrong with that. It's actually on you for falling for it. The only hope, however waning, is for Charlie Brown to play football elsewhere.  -Codd

Million Dollar Madden

I hope if someone takes some of my ideas and makes a ton of money from it, they at least credit or throw a tip. I don't wanna sit on a good idea like smaug and I don't have the time to even find who / where to post such a thing, but when inspiration strikes, I thought I'd put it out on the interwebs. For whatever reason the algorithm gave me a series of football terminology clips on my FYP. One in particular was Drew Brees (former quarterback of the New Orleans Saints) explaining play call terminology on a talk show culminating in him calling the play, in all it's complexity, with verbal quickness. The portion of it that would appear to be impressive, is the tight window of time he has to do it. Given that AI has advanced so much to not only have very effective speech recognition, but also create a world of NPCs that are ever less NPC-ish (in a traditional game sense), I have an idea for the next generation of madden games. This combined with the era we live in with gam...

And Then There Were Two (Posts)

Predictions for 2025.  History doesn't repeat but it certainly rhymes.  On one hand it would appear we're in a time when A.I. & targeted analytics will take our engagement to feed us back our own desires in the "news"- and on the other hand there still appears to be an element of stimulation testing where what is put on the "news" is to shape a narrative to move mass consciousness. Maybe it's both. A manipulative two step. Either way, what matters most is where you put your thoughts & actions. I initially expect 2025 in the political realm, to rhyme with, and look earily similar to, events in 2017. That being said, the push for a "golden age" vibe does open the door for some great possibilities. Very much looking forward to engaging with & paralleling the world's fair plans for America's 250th. -Codd
