Everything’s comin’ up Milhouse!

I know what will fix this, 28 lanes!

On the face of it this sounds perfectly legit. If you take drugs responsibly you’ll be happy for a while.

A calculator stapled to a potato would be better than Windows

We can, we just won’t.

36 here, I don’t expect to retire

Kneecapped to uselessness. Are we really negating the efforts to stifle climate change with a technology that consumes monstrous amounts of energy only to lobotomize it right as it’s about to be useful? Humanity is functionally removeded at this point.

All those negative things are happening in a society that implemented mass surveillance so clearly it doesn’t help. Recording a crime doesn’t prevent it and if there’s no incentive or funding to make sure justice is served afterwards the recording is useless. I think you’re mistaken in who this surveillance is for: it doesn’t exist to improve your life but to empower corporations and state against you.

That’s such a stupid misunderstanding of what it takes to raise children. Sure, you can fuck on your lunch break, but once the kid pops out you can’t squeeze raising a whole ass human in between meetings, asshole.

Enshittification. They’re too big to care.

In a lot of meetings I’m expected to be in I mostly just listen and jump in to answer specific questions. When working from home I like to be active with chores during the meetings, I’ll just take them on my phone. Sometimes I do motorcycle maintenance! It helps me concentrate much better than watching talking heads.

Shocked! Shocked I say!

Capitalism will seek profits over all else. If that requires implementing corporatism as a form of government it will endeavour to do so. That is the point of the whole god damn thing.

Capitalism is an extremely potent and powerful tool to create profits. Whatever else it does is incidental. If the food system can get away with creating a profit by making you eat sawdust then it will. All costs are externalised as much as possible and all profit is privatised as much as possible. This is not a bug but a feature.

As a 20 year IT veteran, first help desk, then sysadmin and now R&D, I am jealous. By the end of this year my cost of living will decrease significantly and I’m contemplating taking the financial hit for a career change.

No diagnose, only fix!

No disagreement there, although I also think what people feel comfortable with is a malleable thing and by implementing policies that work for everyone as well as for Christians we could improve the world a little.

There IS a solution to this particular problem, namely don’t use schools as a vector for spreading religion.

I took a shit on the floor of every room. Joke’s on you!

Ah yeah, pay money to pay money. That’s not a grift at all!
