  Yeah, I feel like a jerk here.

  Let's convert our home into cash so we can escape inflation.

  Sorry for the creepy thoughts. It's something I realized one day as I was driving to work. Even if it only has a 5% chance of the thought becoming a reality for that reason alone I'm not eating the bugs.

  Snowflakes. I'm not a fan of Michael Flynn but I'm not going to punish my fans throwing a tantrum over another person's existence.

  If we lived in a rational society, society would punish this kind of behavior with obscurity. Their label should drop them because shows are not only an opportunity to sell tickets, but they are in some ways promotions for album sales. Why work with a band that doesn't do what it needs to to get sales for which the the label depends, all over some childish complaints?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anti-Federalist Papers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  The anti-federalists were right about everything.

  Considering how many were opposed to it, then changed their mind once the bill of rights were included even though it didn't fully address their misgivings even by half, and then gave speeches for it afterward, including John Hancock and Patrick Henry, it's clear a lot were pressured into supporting it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shooting of stray cats by US troops causes controversy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  I might agree with that. just because of personal experience. It certainly isn't my instinct. I tried to nurse some baby birds once. I heard them chipping, and when I found two of the loudest ones on the sidewalk I saw them already being attacked by ants. And I thought, those ants are not going to do that well against those birds, they are not going to die quickly from this. It was just unacceptable to me. So I took them home. Then looked up what I had to do but realized I had no clue how to get the appropriate food. I'd have to improvise at best. They also required being fed like every seven minutes or something like that, and thermal guarantees I couldn't guarantee. Oh well. I don't kill things and I'm not going to leave them to get eaten alive by ants. We're doing this.

  It didn't go well. My hopeful attempt at getting them food was probably not great. Literally there wouldn't even be time for me to go to the store to hunt for and buy what I need if I had any ability to find it. They ended up constipated, and it was clear they were going to die and even slower death under my hands than with the ants. I also took time off of work to do this (crazy I know). I failed those birds, and there is absolutely no way some people in basic training could pull of helping those birds.

  I like your two posts that are right next to each other. Can't shoot cats, can't give them a home.

  Basically it's an analogy for our situation with the homeless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How India’s power crisis is self-made & why we could face another crunch during the monsoon⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  Almost all power crisises are self made. It's actually pretty easy to make a grid and allow people to contribute to it, and it's such a simple business model. Usually all power crises come from someone being afraid of pure economics. They always have to have a twist and it's usually that twist that causes the problem.

  Texas had a near perfect grid. But it had three twists, which like always, come back to bite you. The good? The price of electricity both for contribution and use was set by the amount that the electrical line varied in voltage and frequency. When a grid is under powered it becomes under volted and has under-frequency from physical generators hooked to it lagging. So if that is happening, even the smallest amount, the price has to go up and more power turns on. It works. Here are the twists they had to add. There was a price cap, they wouldn't allow out of grid contribution (isolated from other states), they incentivized wind with subsidies instead of allowing natural investment tuned to the problem of reliability to dominate.

  Legislators can't allow something to be simple. They have to assume their opinions are useful. Everywhere power has had significant and maintained dysfunction someone had to do something stupid to the economics.

  I'm starting to think that Alex Jones was right about this being a war game. That or the depop claims are true. One of the two.

  The phenomenon of SARS2's risk of excess mortality is within a degree of significance with the flu. Basically none. But we don't shut down economies to attempt solving traffic mortalities, though it would be a lot more effective. This was all a test to see who they could inject and who they couldn't if it was actually important if giving them the hugest benefit of doubt, and things much more nefarious than that at worst.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Joe Biden Airlifts Formula from Europe as American Infants Are Hospitalized for Malnutrition⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  The sad thing is that hospitalizing children for malnutrition almost doesn't make sense, sadly. What is the hospital going to do? Feed them? Feed them the exact ratio of nutrition that infants need? So basically the hospitals are at best making formula on the fly, or worst, just using formula they bought. So it uses up either more or equal resources. If the problem is that we don't have the resources to feed infants how does that help?

  The point is that you can't just make up for the gap in formula with more hospitalizations. It's not converting a bad situation into a compromise for a less than ideal situation. It remains an equally bad no matter how many kids you admit. If the hospitals attempt to help kids, they buy formula at their higher willingness to pay price (backed by insurance), and so some other kid doesn't get it, and therefore must be hospitalized.

  Basically markets are not optional and fucking ours up was a really really bad idea. Some may say, "but this wasn't a result of the covid response market fuck up." Yes it was. Abbot had their plant shut down. Their competitor has expanded to double their production, but it isn't enough. If they and abbot had access to more labor resources and more material resources, which are in short supply at every part of the economy, and didn't have talent drain like the whole market is experiencing, they could have moved well beyond doubling their production, and abbot could have sprint built other resources. If Europe's markets weren't in a similar state they could have ramped up production and shared a lot more than they currently are, but they are also facing resource, labor, and talent scarcity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Free speech at wolfballs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting ideas. I personally am for being attacked as an admin. Though it has never happened to me personally. It's hard when our emotions get involved in administration and things feel personal (though fairly they are because they are intentionally making them personal). I suppose I've always believed in de-personalizing admin work. One of the reasons why I ended up using alt-tech almost exclusively came long ago when I was shadow banned on Reddit for talking about Ellen Pao's lawsuit on /r/technology. The personal and legal details of many other tech CEOs were discussed openly in the forum all the time and a good chunk of articles were exactly that. So it seemed wrong that discussing that in regards to a major company would be disallowed. It created a hole in discussion and a gap in people's understanding. It also meant that the CEO of reddit was using their trusted capacity to moderate (which at that time was utilized almost never), not for any benefit to the community but for their own personal interests.

  Maybe part of my views also come from applying stoic patterns. Be above their attacks. They are nothing. If the guy wants to be a cancerous piece of shit he can throw his ineffectual tantrums and be ignored for the insignificant piece of shit that he is.
