Cause he’s so popular that I hear about him in my own country. Dude must be super awesome. Especially with young people. The ones living paycheck to paycheck especially love billionaires. GO RISHI GO (away).

Fuck off. I raised the point that vilifying people who had party affiliation but no real participation is wrong and that’s valid. I hate that my mother votes for Trump, but that doesn’t make her evil. She’s bigoted and misguided. She’s certainly no Steve Bannon.

Further, contemporary nazis have no excuse while in early-20th Germany there was far less access to non-state information. My mother’s a useful idiot to the right whereas modern day nazis know exactly what they’re supporting. Modern nazism gets no benefit of the doubt.

This lady can eat my ass. What a piece of shit.

I’m no nazi apologist, but given how many members of the party were average people who didn’t take part in the genocide, I don’t really know what else you’d expect. Yes, probably a lot more higher ups and definitely anyone who had direct knowledge of the camps should have been up for war crimes, but what about the schlub who repaired people’s plumbing?

Fuck all nazis. See a nazi, punch a nazi. All that jazz.

Why does this feel like it’s a flat-earth slide? I haven’t looked at any flat-earth propaganda, but I strongly suspect that it looks a lot like this.

That said, I’ll stick with my VMs regardless. I like simplicity.

Norm Finkelstein took this position, arguing that NATO encroaching on the Russian border was provocation. I didn’t agree or disagree because I don’t know enough about geopolitics to consider myself informed on the matter. His case was persuasive, however, if not at least interesting. I generally consider him pretty level-headed, so it was worth the listen.

Hopefully they’re really good at bringing money into the company, because their ability to save labor money for the company is abysmal.

I was asked to drive 80m to reboot a device when I’d said the previous day that rebooting would fix it (it was a phone; there’s almost no real troubleshooting on the platform). I kept quiet about how financially irresponsible the request was. When I got there, the phone was already turned off for other reasons. At least I got to listen to podcasts while I drove there and back.

Wow. It’s so easy to get that info from a web search that I’d argue that the response is evidence of the person not doing their job. Good on your wife for calling bullshit and the same for the higher ups who defended her position.

Insightful. I was commenting about a VIP wrt a power dialog on a mobile device and posited that the reason they didn’t understand a thing must be that they don’t read before dismissing it. I would even say that’s half of 1% of their attention and that makes complete sense. The other 99.5% is focused on the things they consider more important.

Had someone verify that wifi was working because he could see his neighbors’ networks. Airplane Mode was enabled. Dunno what he thought he saw.

Same thing with a colleague. The guy told him that he was definitely connected to wifi. It took a lot of probing to confirm that wasn’t true.

Some people just can’t provide valid feedback nor follow simple instructions. I kinda feel like those individuals shouldn’t be allowed to use computers to do their jobs. If you can’t master just pass the basics, sorry. Here’s a pencil and a pad of paper. You can either work the longer way or you can consciously put in the effort to learn this stuff enough for us to help you when you need it.

My own father, who had a doctorate in mechanical engineering: “Now click the Apple menu.” “What’s that?” “It’s the menu that’s an Apple logo in the top left corner of the screen.” “I don’t have that.” “Yes, you definitely have that.” “No, I don’… oh there it is.”

I’m not calling anyone stupid. More that I’m saying people convince themselves that they can’t learn and then shut down.

She flirted with him, according to his supporters. She was twelve, so I don’t see how he was expected to resist her charms. /s, obviously, but only about the second part — dude assaulted a child.

What truly sucks about misaligned incentives in any environment is the impediment to science overall when people chase bad results trying to replicate false results.

I’ve been saying that each country should disenfranchise the elderly by the national average life expectancy minus the same number of years you have to be to register to vote. We accept that young people aren’t fully developed and shouldn’t be allowed to participate until they reach a minimum age. Time to do the same with people who are at higher risk of dementia and who won’t have to live with the consequences of long-term changes.

I realize that this will unfairly disenfranchise able-minded people. They still shouldn’t get a say in our long-term future.

We’re at the end-times for western capitalism, where rent-seeking has become the primary driver of markets. It’s happening all around us.

It runs much faster now.

What a heartwarming and friendly message of unity. Fuck the GOP.

“I’ve volunteered all my life,” the student began, only for the PM to reply: “Then you’ll love it!”

What an asshole.

And the reason for my mention of sarcasm proves necessary. I can’t contribute code, so I contribute money to FOSS projects. And I think it’s stupid to dehumanize people. I haven’t embarrassed myself because you aren’t able to properly interpret my post building atop prior sarcasm.

There’s a reason I’m on the SDF instance and it wasn’t an accident. Learn to internet.

We need laws that say that pre-historic fossils can only be housed in museums, universities, and other places of learning / study / exhibition.

I’ll say all three contribute at verying degrees.
