allocating a few days a month to all fit members of a community to do work which no one volunteers to do.
I can agree to that as long as it’s a spelled-out condition of living in that community. As an autistic person myself, I like having expectations and conditions written out clearly and concisely, in mutually agreed-upon language.

Did you know that Northrup Grumman developed the standard USPS mail truck? They also developed the B2 stealth bomber. Northrup never intended for their truck to also be a stealth bomber, but Ted said “I’m about to do what’s called a ‘pro gamer’ move.”

This. If there’s actually a toilet, then how does it work? I imagine the toilet probably works like the replicators do. You notice how when anyone on board the Enterprise eats, there’s dishes, but no sinks/dishwashers? When they’re finished eating, they literally set the dirty dishes down in the replicator and they’re instantly returned back to energy. I imagine the toilets work under the same principle.

Their healthcare plan is this:
Got injured on the job? Can’t work anymore? Well, that’s okay. We have a nurse’s station behind the woodshed out back. Just stand there and face the wall, and soon your injury won’t be a problem.
“Too old to perform? Well, just come back here behind this woodshed and face the wall, and we can discuss our retirement plan.” The HR rep says as they pull a revolver.

Of course, I’ve already seen this future. As soon as you have a meaningful amount of labor value to extract, it’s straight to work for you. You work until all your labor value is extracted. “Oh, you’re ready to retire? Well, alright. If you’ll just come back here behind this woodshed and face the wall, we can discuss your plans.” Your boss says as he pulls a revolver…
- Comment on What's your favorite case of a game making fun of you? 5 months ago:
I’m enjoying it. It feels like the game that Obsidian wanted the first one to be, but couldn’t quite get there, for whatever reason.

As one stuck in Cheetoland, I deeply apologize for what he’s doing despite the efforts that had been undertaken to stop him and if he does end up attempting to annex your nation, I want you to know I preemptively surrender and defect to the Canadian Armed Forces.

Problem with a lot of those companies is how long they can remain privately funded and stay in business. The modern capitalistic markets inherently select for short term thinking. Think about this. Does it make any sense to destroy 90% of your profitability in 5 years to get a 20% boost in profits next quarter? In modern capitalistic markets it does, because that’s 20% more profit with which to capture more market share. That’s where the competition is.

- Comment on PSN Is Still Down After 14 Hours And No One Knows Why 1 year ago:
It’s the sequel to the first one, and historical accuracy was like, at the center of of that one. Your character starts off the game not knowing how to read, because in medieval Europe, literacy was not widespread and the son of a blacksmith certainly wouldn’t know how to read, so books you pick up in the game are total gibberish until you learn to read.
- Comment on Amazon Artificially Discounting Items $0.01 Below the Free Shipping Limit 1 year ago:
Right, back when they were just a bookstore. All I really know about Amazon is that they focused on long-term profitability over increased short-term profits to expand and capture more of the market, and it worked. The problem is that not everyone can do that. They spent every year since 1994 operating at a loss, when anyone else would have been snapped up by another company in the space, and it’s not clear how that didn’t happen. The landscape of e-commerce would have been very different if it had.
- Comment on Amazon Artificially Discounting Items $0.01 Below the Free Shipping Limit 1 year ago:
Exactly. A systemic issue with capitalistic markets is that they inherently select for short term thinking.
Does it make sense to destroy 90% of your profitability 5 years from now for a 20% bump in profit this quarter? Well, yes, it does, because that’s 20% more profit to expand and take over the market.
Even if a business were to try to make good long term decisions, it would immediately be crushed and pushed out of the market by all of its competitors willing to make those shortsighted decisions for immediate profits.
Except in the case of Amazon, thanks to AWS they were able to make good long-term decisions with their e-commerce platform by making short term decisions with AWS.
- Comment on JeSUS 1 year ago:
You know, I learned that a long time ago, Catholic Priests used to be allowed to marry, but because they didn’t really have any of their own possessions or property, priests were cared and provided for by the Church. If they did get married, the wife also was cared for. And in a religion that sees birth control as blasphemy, that means that the kids would also be cared and provided for. And when you have a lot of priests, all getting married and having lots of kids, that gets expensive. So now priests have to be celibate.
- Comment on JeSUS 1 year ago:
Well, in those times they didn’t really have dentists, so having all one’s pearly whites in a adulthood was not common.

I’m speaking, of course, of greedy, wealth hoarding dragons like Smaug. Who would slaughter an entire mountain of Dwarves to get his claws on wealth he will never spend, just to have it.

Walgreens is a bad choice. They’ve invested a ton of money into cameras and surveillance for their locations. Almost on the level of Target for loss prevention.

Yep, they should form a union and demand hazard pay on their CBAs.

Nah, they need to do it at Black Rock HQ.

As an aside, another proposed moniker for this hero is “Lancelot”, as he has clearly slain a dragon. Three cheers for the Dragonslayer!

That and the third place is being and has been turned into a place where you go to buy something instead of just enjoy yourself and spend time with friends. There’s nowhere for kids of any age to go that doesn’t charge a fee to get in(some parks), doesn’t have rules against talking(libraries), hasn’t been made obsolete(malls, arcades), or is unreligious.
- Comment on i need an rv, and lab equipment, and a helper 1 year ago:
Exactly. You get what you give. You give the bare minimum to society, and society will give it right back. You want more, give more. Go help your community. Take out your elderly neighbor’s recycling. Volunteer at your local shelters/soup kitchens. Attend some local events. Sit in on city council meetings.

They are a real group. They’re part of a coalition with the White Women for Harris, who raised between $2-$8 million for Kamala Harris. Pantsuit Nation is rising up and New Balance Kingdom is going to match their work.

There were also icemen at one point. Then we invented refrigerators. Nobody seems to miss having a giant block of ice delivered to their house to keep the food we buy at the stores cold.
