It’s comforting for people to imagine they’re not stupid and other people aren’t smart.

Good. Fuck cars. There’s plenty of transit options.

I gotta find a community that has more social people than anti-socisl. It’s kind of exhausting reading so much of this.

There are many possible solutions to the housing crisis, but many of them upset rich people so executing them is difficult. I meant executing the plan. Executing the rich people is also difficult, and may incidentally improve things.

If I was a talented writer I would consider a short story about someone getting onto the medical staff just to murder Zuckerberg.

Maybe some sort of rom-com where two people have done so and they suspect each other of being corporate bootlickers, but in the end they fall in love. And murder Zuckerberg.

You could probably make it look like an accident. “I guess the LLM was having trouble reaching my account after I was deleted, so it posted everything to pastebin so I could see it there”

Still risky and a funnier fantasy than good idea.

What I cannot understand is how so many of my fellow Americans actually like it this way.

Racism.

Many Americans would rather die than have black people have nice things. If you build a good bus system, black people will use it. They won’t suffer for being “lesser” like they “deserve”.

That’s it. Conservatism demands out groups to punch down at.

I know someone who’s a member there and some of the pro-israel people are … A lot.

I’m glad they’re boycotting.

Made the mistake of counting someone as their own neighbor :(

Nine minutes, too. Not my fastest!

If they are using the “unvested” assets for something, like getting a loan with them as collateral, then we should treat it as if they realized the gain.

If you use stock as collateral to get s $1mm loan, that should be treated as income.

If they then sell the stock and get taxed again… I don’t think I really care.

Read more books. Read different kinds of books. Not slop on the Internet.

This prose you’ve posted feels a bit purple and forced. I personally find all the comma separated clauses excessive, but some styles do that.

Are you still in school? Take creative writing courses. They’re fun and you get feedback from peers and the (hopefully) professional teacher.

I work from home. The systemic incompetence of this multinational fortune 500 company means I can do a lot of reading and no one seems to notice.

Of course, management is planning to fire a lot of people, including me, to pivot to AI.

Zitron’s point that management are stupid is really important. They don’t know what they’re talking about. They don’t do any work!

You laugh, but this is genuinely how the majority of managers and executives think and act, and now they have a special chatbot that can fart out functional-enough prototypes to convince a Business Idiot they can do anything, because executives and managers do not regularly do much work. As a result, they have little idea what work looks like other than when they look over your shoulder, which is why they wanted you back in the office, and their distance from production is why the same people who were anti-remote work are now aggressively trying to shove AI down your throat.

We are ruled by the worst fucking people.

Feels like most people here will agree with it, but the average person vegging out on instatok is harder to reach.

“They haven’t yet taken that step to say, we’ve been wrong for the last century,” King told me. “Which I think is a critical thing that the cities have to do.”

Key point. This is a problem decades in the making and won’t be fixed overnight. The transition will be uncomfortable.

“There’s a lot of people who don’t like to accept the truth when it implicates them in the system,” King told me. “If parking is the problem, then I have to drive less. Maybe I’m the bad guy.”

This pattern affects much of humanity’s problems. People don’t want to admit they’re imperfect. Easier to deny the outside world than feel uncomfortable.

Good. Fuck amazon. Fine them harder.

I don’t pay them shit, but I see your point.

Guild Wars 2 is the only MMO that doesn’t aggravate me.

• Feels like a real video game. You can dodge and stuff.
• Other players can only help. No “kill stealing”
• Other players are frictionless. They show up, do whatever, leave. No need to make a formal party
• Level cap doesn’t go up. No need to chase stats forever.

You do have to buy the expansions, but the core game is free now.

Many people only learn when something bad happens to them. Poor empathy and primitive moral reasoning.

“I tried to find a way through this that was going to be able to have this happen non-violently,” Kim told NJ.com.

I don’t think ICE is going to go away without violence.
