None of what you described is hard either. Tediously prone to mistakes due to complexity or lack of attention to detail? Sure. But you do that once or twice and suddenly it really doesn’t seem all that hard. I’m with…
Pfft, not on HN.
You ignore gut feelings? Feelings from your second brain? That seems incredibly unwise. Sorry for the off topic comment.
Specifically to the questions about my status and wealth: All yes. Absolutely all yes. Am I evil for being part of the 1%? Yes. Am I evil for hoarding? Yes. Is/was the work evil on its face? Yes. I am honest these days…
There was no evidence for “poor people are evil”. But there’s ample evidence for “rich people are evil”. What makes a person think they deserve more than another? What makes a person ignore laws and norms to make a…
Decent people don’t rise to the top in this world. Their — and your — ethics won’t allow it. Which means by definition that the people at the top of the economic pyramid are the very worst of us.
You know, I'll be that guy and say the following: Since you stepped back in time, I went back even further. I just stopped consuming content on the web that isn't YouTube, this site, or Kagi News. It's all crap in my…
We don't even have public toilets. We do have laws criminalizing homelessness though!
Why? Because fuck you, that's why. Welcome to America. It's a business. Gimme my money.
> On the other hand I could also believe that they live in such a bubble they genuinely don’t understand how it comes across. Add in a non-negligible amount of neurodivergence and maybe that’s the simplest explanation I…
At this particular time in history, it seems that almost all work is performative, showing up at work is a performance, and work isn’t even really necessary. We live in a dumb world.
…and knowing is half the battle. GI Joe theme plays in the background
Imagine if we applied this logic to climate change?
I think to state it succinctly, the thing I was thinking was: "the people that make the bad decisions should bear the consequences".
Along with this we need the revocation of corporate charters and the liquidation of all assets belonging to the owners of any corp that is dissolved in this manner. The penalty for fucking over the public in general…
Greed isn’t “forgotten” its reined in by regulation.
> Ultimately though, if people really care, they should be parsing through study results Absolutely hate this framing. I care but I don’t have the requisite education to understand what I’m reading. I need it explained…
“Severance”, On Apple TV+ provides one answer
“Promotion Hunger Games” is so much better than “Lord of the Flies” (usually my name for it) — so many more people will understand it
I’m wondering what happens when Gabe dies?
That is a 404 for me, in the US.
I also direct order from brands I trust and this hasn't been my experience AT ALL. In fact using Apple Pay with an AMEX card means the experience is essentially amazing -- fingerprint checkout and the ability to reverse…
I mean, after decades of manufactured cultural rifts, we're right where the powers that be want us to be. Disorganized and ripe for exploitation.
Because that is the form of government we have. We seek redress to our grievances in the way these folks have acted. Your POV is essentially “shut up and take it” or “find a new job”. Neither of these addresses the…
Government is meant, in part, to give some amount of power & push-back to the least among us. Representative government is the solution we arrived at after we decided it was kinda shitty to just kill each other. Why are…
