Hallmark boss: “So a anti-Trump women comes back home for Christmas, and meets a Pro-Trump man. Something something, they fall in love and the woman falls in love and forgets her hatred. I - I mean we - just need to fill in that middle step. Please, figure out what that middle step is! My wife left me and I don’t know how to cook!”
- Comment on Is it really possible to tax the rich? 6 days ago:
I should of said “makes it impossible to raise taxes on the rich” … without them passing on the hurt to the poor. Sort of like how Trump thinks a tariff on foreign goods will only be paid by foreigners.
- Comment on Is it really possible to tax the rich? 6 days ago:
The rich don’t earn money from an income. They earn it from investments. We tax investments at the same rate as the top bracket (37%). If we raised the top income bracket to 38%, it would push more rich to receive their income via investment. However, raise the investment tax (capital gains), and we drive foreign investment away. A lot of foreign money is in America because we have a long history of stability and a low possibility of the people rising up and nationalizing ownership of foreign property. Drive that money away and everyone suffers, but that also makes it impossible to raise taxes on the rich.

Priority #1 for me: DOES IT HAVE A CUSTOM NODE SEARCH FEATURE?
If I want to search for, let’s say, a node that generates a random number to input into another node’s input, and I have 12 large node packages installed: the old way is to manually search every directory and sub-directory until I find it. Can we just get a simple search function?
- Comment on Amazon cloud boss says employees unhappy with 5-day office mandate can leave 4 weeks ago:
“Please leave! If we fire you, we have to pay unemployment, but your replacements will be younger (less costly health problems) and will accept less pay. It’s win-win-win for us if you leave of your own accord!”

CS probably has some sort of skin money-laundering bots in it. I would see it more as a financial vector and less of a game if that were true.

- Comment on Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race? 2 months ago:
We have the baby boomers on the edge of dying. They are afraid of it, but there is nothing that can be done - so those fears shift to other things that “could” be dealt with.
-Immigrants destroying the culture they grew up in (that culture went away for other reasons), -Gays and trans people being happy (The closeted Senator Graham saying there is no happiness in real life - why did gays of old have to suffer and hide if it was all for not?), -The worst economy in the history of the US! (They are in their 80s, don’t have a job, and running out of money, so it is bad for them)
-Small town on the edge of dying (because there is no jobs or amenities because they didn’t want them in their town)Trump speaks their insecurities and offers a path to fix things that no other politician dares to go down: “Burn the system to the grown and the people you hate will be hurt”. Because modern Republicans care more about hurting the ones they hate than helping themselves, either because of self hate or a illusion that they won’t get hurt in the process.

Also: Algorithmic generated feeds where you try to click on one thing, but you click on the next thing in the list and when you click back, the feed looks completely different because it has new information on you. That thing you wanted to click on is gone and will never return.

- Comment on Why are people downvoting the MediaBiasFactChecker not? 3 months ago:
I always remember when I learnt that the liberals of Australia were the conservative party, and that labor was to the left of them. Every country seems to have a different spectrum.
- Comment on Why are people downvoting the MediaBiasFactChecker not? 3 months ago:
In America “Left / Left leaning” is to the right of “Democratic Socialists/ Social democrats” which is to the right of “Socialists/Communists”. In countries where those are options, it can be confusing calling something that is on the right side of the above spectrum “left”. The bot should have either a numerical score (Nazi =1, Right = 3, Left = 5, Dem Socialist = 7, Communist = 9) or it should have a “Socialist leaning” category so that people get that they aren’t saying Al Jazzera is supportive of Marx
- Comment on Why We Need a Four-Day Workweek. 3 months ago:
Why? Because schools are all moving to 4 day school weeks. The opposition to this is parents trying to find daycare for their kids on Fridays.
GOP: “If everyone could switch to 4 day school weeks, the teachers could get 20% pay cuts and we could give out tax cuts!”
(Never mind the fact that Friday is the day teachers fill out paperwork for the individual learning plans that EVERY CHILD now has. Not ‘works toward designing them’ or ‘helping students in anyway’, Friday is JUST for the paperwork surrounding it.)
- Comment on Guess I should type faster 3 months ago:
Are we talking about those stupid “Biden evil” political cartoons that popped up recently? It looked like your standard newspaper editorial style cartoon, but was repeating some anti-Biden propaganda in a “first they came for the…” rant.
Can’t find them now, must have been nuked/hidden. Was going to debunk, but would of taken 3 paragraphs like the OP said.

Heck, if they went back to Oblivion’s concept of having the npcs with predefined lives and goals and slapped a free version of chatgtp onto the npc interactions, it would be cool.

Didn’t they make an MMO in the mean time? It is like asking when Warcraft 4 is going to be released.
- Comment on Why don't electric car manufacurers put solar panels on the car roofs? 5 months ago:
While that might not be economically feasible, I’ve always wondered why plug-in electrics couldn’t send power back into the grid. No solar? Send energy onto the grid during the day from the car and recharge during the off-hours at night. Solar? Recharge during the day and send energy onto the grid at night. Just make sure to set a minimum charge that will get you to a charging station.
- Comment on How are Book Bans Constitutional? 5 months ago:
Checked wikipedia myself this morning. Looks like they switched it from the state attorney generals deciding what is “harmful content” to the FTC. Previously, an Anti-LGBTQ state attorney general could label any progressive website as bad and ban it for minors. (and because no one know how to age verification, that just means everyone). Now that only happens if Republicans get control of the whitehouse and appoint a activist to head the FTC.
- Comment on How are Book Bans Constitutional? 5 months ago:
As long as they don’t come for internet access, kids can get around book bans with things like Libby.
What’s that? Republicans are proposing an internet book ban bill call KOSA? Well good thing we have divided goverment. It will never pass.
Wait? Biden is supporting it? Well, that doesn’t mean… wait, Elizabeth Warren is a cosposonser? Wtf?

- Comment on What is an average person living in the US supposed to do about corporations raising prices? 10 months ago:
Seek out the competitors to near monopolies? I heard somewhere that all glasses are built and sold by one company (that then sells them to a bunch of different companies so it looks like there is competition), and they can charge incredible markups. There probably are very small companies that make and sell glasses that don’t have the economies of scale or ad budgets to get the word out. If enough people bought from them, the monopoly would have to lower prices to their “kill competitors” level to steal back the market-share (or just buyout the little guy). Once dead or absorbed, they can go back to incredible mark-ups, which means we can start the cycle over again and find a new little guy to support.
That or support the maker movements so that anything we need we can just make ourselves (3D printing, bio-hacking, hydroponics and seed banks, general lathe and mill loner libraries, open source software, etc…)
