I'm not a speed runner, but I saw some videos, I find it absolutely fascinating and awesome, that a community was built where people regulate each other and keep each other honest.

People maticliously watch runs, and out cheaters.

The amazing dedication it takes to search and find repeatable glitches. I find it really remarkable. All with no monetary incentive.

If I was in charge of rooting out corruption in the government, I would look towards the speed running community.

I just had this thought, and I figured I'd share it. If I were an anthropologist, I would want to study speed running. The way the community spurted from dedicated hobbists, and how well it is self regulated.

I unironically think there is a lot to learn from the speed running about building a society that is resistant to corruption.

I guess my main question to the speed running community is, why didn't all of you take over the world yet? 😂.

I find watching actual runs boring, but videos about finding glitches, the different rules, the self regulation and spotting cheaters. I wish politicians were like this!

I used to love going to concerts, now they seem loud, uncomfortable, expensive and just a pain.

Maybe it's because I haven't spent the money on seeing a really good band but live shows don't seem to really.

Hell years ago I wanted to see Nine Inch Nails, but their ticket prices are rediclious. In thousands for a good seat is absolutely rediclious. And the nose bleed, sitting behind people standing costs $60, that's what I'd pay for a middle of the road seat.

I just don't see much appeal going to concert anymore. It costs too much, I have to stand, there are people everywhere, and most of the time you are paying to hear other people loudly singing right next to you.

You wind up having to use a dirty bathroom.

There are bands I'd like to see live, but when I look at the ticket prices, I think of all the crap concerts come with, and I'm like nah.

Does anyone else feel this way?
