Back in '00, they used to actually be cool and I got StarCraft for $20

I didn't see this being pressed in that new apple ad

veni_vedi_veni ,

They make birth control monitors and they've been producing a lot of false positives.

Pelicans don't produce that much lift, you'd need like 1000 of them for just one carriage.

Also nuclear power can't easily ramp up and down to energy demands like coal

After 3000 years, feeling the air will make you explode.

Yup, just like religion teaches us that poor people go to heaven and rich fucks go to hell. So don't struggle against the latter, just do as your told and it will all work out

Ain't that the truth.

Id never worked harder than when I was working retail as a HS student. And the worst part is interacting with assholes who thought you were beneath them, which I think it's what this meme underlines.

was lucky to be well off to get an education which provided a way to land a cushy SW job. Mentally stressful at times sure, but I didn't have to take shit from somebody and worry if I could afford my next meal. And I see the same ego on the other side here, where people sneer or condescend towards min wage workers.

So many things we take for granted are just down to luck, or lack thereof.

Now I don't know how it would feel to be wealthy. Where money ceases to be something you need to think about on a day to day basis, but I think that's when it just becomes a status symbol, and you have to make more only because the Jones bought their 4th yacht, so of course you can't be seen with less than that! It never ends, and that's why I think rich-ass capitalists can never have enough, because in their mind the competition never ends and no amount is ever enough.

Yes, we need more diversity in our shooters

see, this rationality is the crux of the issue. Our systems should be robust enough it shouldn't have to rely on the "right corporations" being the driver, just as we shouldn't rely on charity from the wealthy to help the poor. The system should have checks and balances to assert that you should be a victim of your success (something like a severe drag coefficient) to balance capitalistic tendencies to always have line go up if its a detriment to the markets they participate in.

The system in most cases are the governments and worker unions which should counterbalance, but late stage capitalism has co-opted the former via lobbying to use globalism to weaken the latter, and those poor countries which haven't the educated population and corrupt government to develop their union base are never going to because civil disobedience organization nowadays is super transparent, so they can be easily squashed.

I agree it is a question of incentives. But the status quo has made it so that the people capable of changing the incentives themselves have no incentive to do so.

Yea, no I don't have time for anything besides confirmation bias

veni_vedi_veni ,

Wow a site that doesn't fill up 90% of your phone's viewport with ads? Color me impressed

Unless she is has some sort of disability, you typing for her just seems like enablement.

veni_vedi_veni ,

How pathetic do you have to be to gatekeep a celebration?

veni_vedi_veni ,

It's so stupid to compare working as a broad umbrella of action and say anecdotally: hey business owners are getting vitality from it, why wouldn't you from your corporate job?

It's like no shit, the people who have control over what their timelines and deliverables look like find out find work rejuvenating

veni_vedi_veni ,

This is just a pr stunt.

Nobody gaf about others psychological well being, so let em have the new opioid. At least there's no collateral damage with this

veni_vedi_veni ,

Yea, what happens in SOMA fucks with me whenever i think about it.

Digitizing consciousness for use in simulations, and spun up and down in an isolated environment like they are some AWS service.
