  • Human beings experience a steep drop-off in productivity after ~6hrs, and the worst effect found of switching to a four day work week has been no change but employees are happier, though more often it’s a large increase in productivity and quality.

    While yes, that would be something to consider after fixing everything else, your idea is just this post, please do better.





  • It’s absolutely both, and I never said that they should not be held accountable. They are unclever gorillas smashing the place up and yes, it is absolutely for evil, evil reasons but that doesn’t mean these are deep, well thought-out schemes. It’s basic garbage for garbage people, a idiot’s genius. Yes, it’s calculated, but the math is of a grade one level and even then they don’t always get it right but you bet they’re still trying to be as evil as possible.

    Being a conservative almost requires one to be dumber than a bag of hammers. The only reason most of them get anywhere is because other idiots like the useless centrists refuse to hold them accountable so we all act like they’re clever when really they’re just shielded from consequences. Elon Musk is as dumb as they come and we all know exactly what he’s doing it’s just that when he buys Twitter for way too much money and blows it up he doesn’t have to deal with any fallout and can keep that shitstorm running out of pure spite and lighting billions of dollars on fire.





  • First, you said “I completely agree with him”. If you do not understand how that might mean we think that means you agree with his rationale then writing your assignments by hand clearly didn’t help you that much.

    But anyway:

    Because sometimes you need to research things for homework? Because the kids with reliable internet will still be able to use it, will use it, and will have an unfair advantage over the kids who don’t have the same level of access(usually because their parents aren’t as well off, perpetuating the cycle of poverty). Even if we decided that every single piece of homework was to be 100% handwritten that wouldn’t make the internet go away and these problems would still persist.

    It’s so much more nuanced than some weak take that doesn’t do much but expose your lack of understanding of the issue. Yes, there are some clear advantages to maybe scaling things back a little but this not the way to do it, not even a little bit.



  • He is literally, outloud, complaining that the reason is because maybe kids who are unsupervised and have access to things are somehow going to have less access(??) to conservative viewpoints. The society he’s so afraid of creating is one where he cannot control children’s access to filtered, conservative-biased media, and since pretty much every conservative talking point is a lie, exaggeration, or manipulated perspective they desperately need to be in control of the flow of information. They’re literally banning paper books, bro.

    Also this is about hotspot use being expanded outside of schools(“off-premises”), but if that comment is your take then maybe reading comprehension isn’t your thing. Guess those paper textbooks didn’t really do anything to help you, either.

    (Literally in the first line it explains that the intention is to help kids without reliable internet get their homework done. He just hates poor people, big surprise.)






  • I love these people because they are so adamant that working more will help them while every single study shows that people are way more productive when they have rest time. A 4-day work week would shoot his company’s productivity up and actually save money on things like electricity but he’s so far up his own ass that he cannot possibly understand how that could work.

    I do think that the commentor who said he must not have anything outside of work has a point. Like, who on earth is has such a shit life outside of work that they can brainwash themselves into believing that more work is a solution?

    Your friend is a complete idiot, an astounding failure of a human being and even as an emotionless machine.




  • Also true. I will call myself that because I specifically make sure that I actually account for weaknesses instead of ignoring them.

    1. Stopping at stop signs isn’t just for the law, it’s because no matter how good you are you’ll have tired or otherwise distracted moments and stopping helps manage those safely where rolling absolutely does not.

    2. I keep a good following distance, and I figured that out on my own. It’s not just for safety but also it’s the contributor to rush hour traffic.

    3. I’m not afraid to actually use the gas pedal. Driving slowly is not universally safe, especially when merging onto the highway. At the same time I also don’t go tearing it up everywhere as if I’m reliving Need For Speed. I can also take a corner without drastically slowing down or cutting lanes unlike the lady who squished my front end between her Corolla and the curb coming out of a two-lane roundabout because I dunno I guess she didn’t like her outside lane or something.

    4. I know how to drift, quite well even. Yea it’s fun as hell but it also means that I don’t become a danger to myself and others in inclement weather and I can feel problems happening with enough time to address them instead of before it’s already too late. My sister says she’s afraid to learn how to drift because she’s afraid of sliding but not having knowledge isn’t going to save her from encountering snow and ice.

    I can go on and on but ultimately these are basic things that other drivers routinely fail to execute and many will even argue against them. They aren’t just not doing the right things but willingly doing dangerous things. I admit that I will also make mistakes and I work hard to make sure that they are rare.

    So yea, you’re right that most people think they’re good drivers because their threshold for excellence is not having been in a major accident/blaming others but I’m pretty confident in my abilities. Certainly confident enough to say what I said.
