A politician having a reputation for corruption and self-dealing is one of the few things that voters uniformly don’t like, and will actually act on at the polls.
I would have agreed with you before Trump. The power of conservative in-group solidarity is powerful, especially when multiplied by media support.
This is jamming up my heuristics. I don’t trust anything coming out of Florida , and certainly not when a trump ally is involved. But also fuck Altman.
I remember in college sort of independently coming up with the idea (there’d be a large pool of representatives, to make bribery harder. And I think we had an idea of like some of them their votes secretly won’t count at the end, so your bribe might not even count)
Then one of my friends linked me to the wiki page and I was like “oh”
Management are assholes and idiots.
Nothing will get better without demands. People need to organize.
But if I’ve learned anything from history, it’s that the ownership class would rather murder all of their employees than give a few dollars more a day.
Right? I often like being around people. I don’t want to do it in the fucking office
Happily on linux for a while now. No problems. kde desktop looks almost the same as windows, anyway. Fuss with it less than windows.
Whenever a chat bot is aggressively presented on a website, I like to ask it how to disable all AI features. Often it will tell me to click on menu options that don’t exist.
Meanwhile, Linux works just fine. Booted up, opened steam, played Elden Ring (today I learned you can parry Midra!). Worked on a spreadsheet for some personal finance. Did some coding. At no point did I see an ad or fight with the UI.
Seems like another example where the people making decisions are not qualified to make those decisions.
I did that once for some big assignment. I got a B and a “you can do better” from the teacher.
The goal is better-than-human. It really shouldn’t ever cross a solid line, though.
The goal should be far fewer cars of any sort on the street. Investing in self driving cars instead of better infrastructure is stupid. Especially when the cars are privately owned
Seems reasonable. I’ve seen other people proposing that or similar solutions to the supreme Court.
Seems karmic that people who voted for trump suffered.
“I never thought that it was so easy to take freedom from anyone,” she said.
Despite all the warnings and history, somehow.
Evil is just sparkling stupid.
As with all things involving humans, you can’t really change minds with facts. It’s just emotions and peer pressure.
Not a bad post, but I expect it won’t sway people who aren’t already on board.
I’m happy I never developed a soda habit.
I pretty much only buy snacks and junks for parties. A normal sized bag of chips was like $7 yesterday. The smaller tostitos were labeled like $5.50.
I’d love to see some sort of general strike or mass boycott, but there’s not enough organization, and things aren’t bad enough for it to happen en masse spontaneously.
Has management known that?
A lot of problems seem to be downstream from “management are idiots and assholes”
Competitive markets are hated by private business owners
