You know what I meant, don’t deliberately misunderstand.

3000 people all shooting their handguns at the sound of the rifle… might work!

This was apparently done by a sniper, so not really a conceal carry thing.
- Comment on Anon doesn't like AI 1 week ago:
There have been a few studies now that show that it doesn’t really make work efficiënt.
Anecdotally, I’ve been an infinite times more efficient in some tasks thanks to AI.
Hell, it seems to have a negative influence on our brains.
Sure, that could very well be. I would welcome a study that compares its negative effect to social media. My guess is that this is worse.
- Comment on Anon doesn't like AI 1 week ago:
Okay, sure. I’ll rephrase that.
It’ll make existing humans who are not complete morons more efficient.
- Comment on Anon doesn't like AI 1 week ago:
Perhaps you’re just too awesome.
- Comment on Anon doesn't like AI 1 week ago:
In the boring real world, AI will not replace humans, it’ll just make the existing humans more efficient.

A science fiction game totally disproves a science fiction ideology.

It didn’t make him smarter, it allowed him to think about something else besides the pain.
As far as I know, that’s 99% the reason why people use drugs.

Lack of genuine idle time breeds … non-breeding.

It’s a huge turn off to be with someone who thing you are lower than them. Who thinks you don’t deserve basic human rights.
While I don’t disagree with this theory, I wonder why you would think that this is a recent development.

Well, it’s possible that its legendary status relies on that. A bit like Firefly.

I’ll cheat because picking just 3 is impossible.

Perhaps, although when was the last time that happened in Europe?

High-tech military investments in an age of Russian aggression is actually a good thing to do.
- Comment on After laying off 9,000 employees , Microsoft records $27.2 billion profit in latest quarter 1 month ago:
How would one working at said company who wants to work NOT get laid off?
To get a sense of proportions…
www.macrotrends.net/stocks/…/number-of-employees
So they’ve added 100 000 people in about 10 years and are now laying of 9000.
Probably by a combination of 1) not being incredibly incompetent / toxic and 2) not being unlucky enough to be one of the very very few that are doing something management thinks is not needed.
- Comment on After laying off 9,000 employees , Microsoft records $27.2 billion profit in latest quarter 1 month ago:
The layoffs happened just recently, this profit has nothing to do with them. We’ll see in the next few quarters what the effect of these layoffs will be.
- Comment on After laying off 9,000 employees , Microsoft records $27.2 billion profit in latest quarter 1 month ago:
This highlights a fundamental misunderstanding on how companies are supposed to operate.

Chinese government can print an infinite amount of Yuan out of thin air.
That’s not how any of this works. Sure they can do that, but they cannot control the effects of having done so.
- Comment on Too bad we can't have good public transportation 1 month ago:
I would say that there’s quite a lot of reason to believe that infrastructure investments can be one of the best ways to help poor people rise economically. Which has obvious paybacks.
worldbank.org/…/infrastructure-and-poverty-reduct…
This still requires creating infrastructure that is actually needed, otherwise it’s just wasting money.
- Comment on Too bad we can't have good public transportation 1 month ago:
A feature of rail is very high building costs. If they wasted money on building HSR on a lot of places where it’s not needed, this means there’s gonna be a debt that never gets paid by the utilization of the rail.
So it’s not about maintenance, but the up-front cost.
