Then I realized becoming an unfeeling capitalist only concerned with profiting off of my fortune tellers was making me into a monster, and I haven't looked back since. Now if I do origami, it is either for personal use or as gifts. The darkness tested me, I saw what that path would make of me, and I chose the light.

I may not be an origami mogul, but my humanity wasn't worth discarding to become one.

Whenever people ask why anyone makes open source software for free, I'm going to use this as a metaphor.

I see you fellow anti capitalist.

I remember this asshole of a kid in middle school selling these neat looking pens for a dollar each.

I found a box of them at a flea market that weekend and had my mom buy them for me, they came out to like 10 cents each. I sold them to every kid in class for a quarter and shut his shitty grift right down.
