Small-Scale Question Sunday for June 14, 2026

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

I've debated between two paths:

First would be taking a software gig with some ideological value behind it. But that's not always clear. Would that be Abel Police to help reduce anarcho-tyranny? Helping the Libertarian party elevate its technology backbone? The former is enabling a semi-automatic police state, the latter is supporting a bunch of buffoons who can't engage in realpolitk, but they're the first things that come to mind. Some folks I know with a similar ideological bent are still in crypto (!) but I'm behind enough on the tech curve there it may be tough.

The second would be returning to social/services labor. I've already seen people mention bartending or bike delivery, and if the latter were possible I'd definitely give it a shot. Even this is fraught though. The community bike mechanics who help serve the poor with transportation also can't help themselves from being leftist freaks at the same time, and serving coffee (another fringe interest) would have the same shit going on.
