@paulg My dad once called me and I told him I was in Oklahoma, buying a .com from a guy who owned all of the dictionary words.
“How much are you paying?”
“$250,000”
“Why don’t you just make up a word? Like Shmegle dot com?”
“No way that’s availa…”
Bought for $8.
in the 2000s my university charged like $300 for summer storage BUT you could buy surplus FIM-29 Stinger launcher cases for $200 so i put my clothes and books in one, sunk it in the river by my dorm, and retrieved it fall semester
they’re hard to find now and i regret selling it
when you look around yourself: do you see inspiration or do you see villainy? do not dwell on the ugly and hope for it to diminish - bask in the beautiful and become a way for it to grow. this is what it means to be inspired
