When “influencers” were told they’d get more money if they sold more crap, they cynically invented “maximalism”.
- Comment on Watch: Zuckerberg’s superyacht arrives in Seattle just as Meta cuts 1,400 local jobs (video in body) 3 hours ago:
No, I always worked for small businesses. I mean, yeah, the bosses were still assholes, but not filthy rich megalomaniacs.
Also, the handful of people who do this for a living certainly could find other employment. No one is forced to choose between super yacht crew and homelessness.

At least the person scrubbing for surgery doesn’t hog the mirror.
- Comment on outsmarted 5 hours ago:
If you ask me “how much?”, the price goes up, until you stop asking. Especially if I’ve added “firm” after the asking price. Because, I don’t negotiate with idiots.

I dislike the crew that work for him, too. The thing is useless without a crew, and people could make that choice.

Fishing trip sucked, no fish, lost the outboard to the lake, it rained.
Fuck it, I ain’t climbing up on the damn roof.

Or, they aren’t physically able to get up on the roof. Not everyone is a monkey.
- Comment on How do I get one of those jobs where I send an email and then go to a meeting then draft an email then leave work and get paid $98,000/Year and have a badge on a little cord that says senior deputy analytics coordinator supervisor of marketing and sales? 2 days ago:
That will get you nothing, but maybe an STD.

I’d like to workshop how to make climbing Everest uncool amongst the stupid rich.

I’m 60, and I have refused to watch My Girl to this day, because I learned how it ended back when it was released. Sometimes, spoilers are a good thing.
- Comment on Find Cow 4 days ago:
This is one of those things a computer could do instantaneously, but a human can not.
Cowever, ask a computer to find a how IRL, and it just sits there on your desk and blinks at you.

Rad chickens will be recruitable, then you can craft cybernetic enhancements.

I’ve often thought we all lucked out that the bigger dogs are more docile.

If they had asked, the answer would have been “Yes. Yes, we should.”

- Comment on Would it be wrong for a lawyer to defend the killer of their family member? 6 days ago:
No, because people’s morals are their own.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
This time around, we have far less capacity to respond. In the first weeks of the second Trump administration, Elon Musk gleefully boasted about feeding the United States Agency for International Development into a “wood chipper.”
I suggest we call it the Elon Ebola strain.
- Comment on I'm at like a 4 1 week ago:
I’m not in this picture, and I’m happy about it.
- Comment on Is there an "Avoid Amazon" community for people who want to support smaller online retailers? 1 week ago:
I left Amazon 10 years ago. I try to buy direct from manufacturer’s websites, for instance, I just ordered a pocket hole jig from Vevor. I’ve never not gotten something because Amazon was the only source, that’s not a thing as far as I can tell. Everything Amazon sells can be bought elsewhere online, sometimes for less.
- Comment on Does changing your last name make sense when you’re not that name? 1 week ago:
What do you mean, “make sense”?
You can change your name to whatever you want. Imagine if your last name were Epstein, or Trump. No one would question your motivation.
It doesn’t even need to be a serious reason, some people change their name to silly things: listverse.com/…/10-bizarre-legal-name-changes/
I don’t much like my first name, but it’s the name my mom gave me, and I would never change it because of that. My mom said she gave her kids less common names because everyone on her side of the family was named biblical names, like John, Mary, and Paul. And, she wasn’t religious, so she picked names she liked that were specifically not biblical.

The “wrong food” for me is sugar. I stopped eating sugar, and my life-long issue with acne disappeared.

I mean, they could have just spelled it out, too.
- Comment on I've been staring at this shirt for a long time and still have no idea what it means 1 week ago:
“short and salty”
So, much like a cock.
