It’s all fake. Might as well call him a quadrillionaire.
- Comment on Women in dating apps 1 week ago:
Even worse than getting a “hi” or “hello” is “?”. I don’t know where people learned to do that, but I’ve had more than one person start a conversation in Teams or Slack with “?” and it always makes me think I did something wtf-worthy to just get a “?” out of nowhere. Apparently it’s their way of asking if I’m available.
All these people don’t seem to understand the advantage of asynchronous text messaging where you can greet and ask a question at the same time.
- Comment on What does everyone think of the economic outlook for the next year? 3 weeks ago:
They can’t print oil, but they can play games with the strategic reserve and maybe implement heavy (heavier) subsidies, but yeah, eventually reality should set in. I just have no idea how long that would take. So far the market seems to take trump at his word every time.
- Comment on What does everyone think of the economic outlook for the next year? 3 weeks ago:
I have no idea what an economic crisis would look like anymore. Ever since 2008, it seems the playback for any sign of economic trouble has been printing ridiculous amounts of money and shoving it directly into the pockets of rich people while playing a shell game with bad debts. This seems to allow the terrible economy to keep limping along.

- Comment on Vibe management 4 weeks ago:
These companies have been tokenmaxxing i.e. judging employee performance based on how many tokens they use, so employees are incentivized to use up as many tokens as possible, even if it doesn’t actually improve productivity (and can actually result in the opposite).
- Comment on During the Obama Admin I saw a lot of the W Bush Miss Me Yet bill boards traveling the country. How come one or many people put up one of Obama that says, Miss Me Yet? 5 weeks ago:
Bush created ICE (plus the surveillance state apparatus we’re stuck with today), invaded Iraq, had a stupid border fence, and had surging oil prices towards the end of his term along with the greatest financial crisis since the great depression. Trump is merely following the same script, financial crisis pending.
- Comment on American workers are tired of waiting. 1 month ago:
The trolley problem is used to pretend harm reduction works, but if you extend the image, you’ll find all the ones tied on the bottom rail will be moved to the top rail, just spaced out so that one side can pretend they’re slightly better, even though they’ll end up killing the same people anyway. If you think it’s acceptable to let “the good guys” carry out a genocide, then you’ll find anything acceptable. Keep sacrificing one group after the other as you justify your harm reduction scheme.
“First they came for[…]” I’ll let you figure out the rest.

True, sometimes the most abusive businesses are small.
- Comment on K.I.S.S. 3 months ago:
True, but maybe a good compromise would be having the fuzzy date in parentheses/brackets if there’s enough space.
- Comment on K.I.S.S. 3 months ago:
I absolutely hate fuzzy dates, not only because of the problem you mentioned, but also because they can get wildly inaccurate. For example, on youtube I often see something counted as posted a year ago, but if I look at the absolute timestamp, it was actually 1 year and 10 months. That’s too big of a difference to truncate.

I already vote for democrats all the way down ballot for every election, now what? How about democrats do their fucking job and actually try to get elected instead of demanding we settle for fascism-lite or else we get fascism?
- Comment on Hopefully, he will be 6 underground by that time. 3 months ago:
remove fascism vs keep fascism seems pretty “black and white” to me.
Democrats don’t even want to defund ICE. How are they removing fascism?
- Comment on Hopefully, he will be 6 underground by that time. 3 months ago:
How do you think we got trump in the first place? Democrats kept moving to the right and making things worse until a candidate like trump could seize the moment. So yeah, you will die on that hill because it was a hill built by voting the “lesser of two evils” while both parties moved to be more evil, until we’ve got the current level of evil we have now.

- Comment on Anyone in tech confirm? 5 months ago:
Sometimes I wonder if it’s me getting old or if it’s tech being more and more about solutions in search of a problem. I feel like we had reached a “good enough” point for a while, but I can’t tell if the “good enough” judgement is just me getting old and stubborn.
