I can respect that he was genuine in his irrational conviction.
- Comment on Tax billionaires, insure millions: The CA wealth tradeoff 3 weeks ago:
It’s natural that billionaires don’t want to make it. What’s baffling is so many poor people are against the tradeoff too

How about The Trouble With Tribbles. Has intrigue, diplomatic tension, and adorable problematic creatures.
- Comment on Realistically, what do people plan to do on the Moon and Mars that requires a permanent, or long term human presence there? 1 month ago:
The perfect solution would be an orbital station with a space elevator. An 36’000 km elevator is kinda difficult to build and maintain safely though.

Probably not, but worth a try.

Practically, the only use of them right now is to inflate stock prices. No business benefits from this much compute other than hardware suppliers and construction companies.

My father was one of those, which lead to a very happy accident. I tried to convert him to vaping because my mom had been complaining for years about how he stank. I got him a big vape, he’s too stingy to let it go to waste, but also hated vaping so much that he outright quit cold turkey, after smoking for 45 years and several failed quitting attempts, this was his trigger.

- Comment on How to move a sofa 2 months ago:
it’s not inherently built into the system
This is the only point I disagree with you. Your situation is extremely rare and exists because of the cool founders, and despite the economic system. There is nothing stopping them from exploiting new hires as the company grows. In fact, “free market” encourages cost cutting and aggressive competition.

I have no problem with selling my labour for money as long as I’m fairly compensated for it.
If you are working for a salary, you are never fairly compensated. If you received the value you actually produced, your boss can’t make a profit. Profit is only possible by a exploitation.
The intensity of said exploitation is a spectrum, there is a huge difference between having some savings and disposable income versus barely surviving. I also make a decently comfortable living as a software engineer but I’m still a crippling accident away from losing it all and depending on disability benefits.

Whenever you can afford to pay to have a problem of yours solved, it’s often the most convenient way of solving it.
Anyone who makes their living by working, either for salary or hourly rate, is working class. Let’s just be on the same page about that.
A working class person basically survives by converting their time and energy to cash. So paying cash is also paying with your labour, indirectly and often inefficiently. It’s always a matter of “is it worth it”? Hiring movers for moving your entire home may be worth it, just one piece of furniture often isn’t.
A wealth-class person gets their income from what they own. Its “passive” from their point of view, the money just appears as profit or capital gains or whatever. It’s still a limited resource, but often way more available. Any kind of favours you do or ask for at this point is purely for fun/social purposes since hiring someone to move that sofa, or even just buying and having a new one delivered is way more convenient and time-efficient, since your money is not literally your time.
