The whole “we need to make it easier for bosses to fire workers” thing also seems like it should have tanked…

After 30 years on the internet, this might be the absolute nerdiest conversation I have ever seen. I’m impressed.

Exactly
- Comment on How do I get myself to actually do thing? 2 weeks ago:
Figure out what’s holding you back, and destroy it. I know for me (and many others), its perfectionism, or the taste thing in that Ira Glass quote:
“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.”
The simple solution to this is to commit to making something that’s bad. Make enough bad things and you’ll learn the skills needed to make some decent things.

Slow down until they do, or even pull over if it’s safe to.

I just think “dickheads to the front”. I’d rather have bad drivers in front of me, where I can see them and avoid their bad driving.

You’re correct, but as a schematic the image is also correct.
- Comment on Could we possibly create a new website/software combining mastodon and piefed ? 2 weeks ago:
Those services already do that? They don’t require you to use an app, and there are multiple apps available if (and only if) you want them.
- Comment on How come Mark Wahlberg got a pass for being the crap out of a Vietnamese guy. But Kevin Spacey, Bill Cosby, Weinstein, do not get a pass? Beside the sexual aspect what is the difference? 2 weeks ago:
This culture looks down on sexual assault (rightfully so), but it glorifies violence in many cases.

Oh yeah, I must have read that wrong somehow 🤔

I have a friend who had an iPhone 3 until 3g got shut down 18 months ago. You don’t need to buy into the constant update cycle.
- Comment on Can a puzzle with missing pieces be considered complete? 3 weeks ago:
Who cares? If it matters to her, she’s right. If it matters to you… Why? And what are you gonna do about it?
- Comment on Should people report AI music channels on Youtube? 4 weeks ago:
Seems unlikely considering who it’s owned by
- Comment on Why Ireland? 4 weeks ago:
That’s Spain in the top right too?
I’m guessing he didn’t know where any of those countries are, and just asked for a picture of Europe being blown up
- Comment on Prolly won;t word this correctly. But when did the idea of a woman subservient to a man begin? And how come it seems its lasted longer that most relgions? 2 months ago:
Church out the history section of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriarchy
Short version seems to be: it’s not older than agriculture.

- Comment on Why do some people with college degrees and an education, still act so fucking stupid? 2 months ago:
Education isn’t just learning knowledge, it’s also skills and thinking. But it is usually restricted to a limited domain…
- Comment on Has the scientific community ever reconciled with the fact global warming is going to happen and there is no stopping it? 2 months ago:
There will be some corals that survive, and some that migrate poleward or into deeper water. But yeah, large reef ecosystems are definitely screwed at +2°C, and probably even at +1.5°C (it’ll take some time though).
- Comment on Has the scientific community ever reconciled with the fact global warming is going to happen and there is no stopping it? 2 months ago:
Mmm. I would guess that the difference between 5 degrees colder than now and 5 degrees hotter than now is quite different for human physiology. There will certainly be places some of us can still live, but lots of equatorial places will become uninhabitable
- Comment on Has the scientific community ever reconciled with the fact global warming is going to happen and there is no stopping it? 2 months ago:
Use less fossil fuels. We have the technology to have electrified public transport, for instance. We just don’t have the political will or the financial backing. This is not really a problem that scientists are well equipt to solve.

They are trying, but… I was at a talk by a leading coral reef scientist last year, he said it would if it worked well, doing enough of it to maintain the Great Barrier Reef would cost on the order of ten trillion dollars a year…

What? When?
- Comment on Has the scientific community ever reconciled with the fact global warming is going to happen and there is no stopping it? 2 months ago:
We definitely still use the term climate change.
- Comment on Has the scientific community ever reconciled with the fact global warming is going to happen and there is no stopping it? 2 months ago:
Climate scientist here: what is there to reconcile? Slowing and eventually stopping warming is definitely possible, even inevitable, the question is just when and how fast we can do it, and what the repercussions are. Every fraction of a degree warmer is worse, so we should be taking as much mitigation action as fast as we can. Mitigating earlier is better than adapting later.

Why is hanging out for a long time bad, as long as you continue drinking?
- Comment on Huh? 5 months ago:
My personal conspiracy theory is that bars have bad acoustics so that you have to shout, so that you get a sore throat, so that you feel like you need to drink more.
