  I’d enjoy Katie Porter. Dunno if she’s ready for something like the presidency, but I’m ready for a president like her.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI is the future⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Have an angry (and admiring) upvote.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Report: In Western Countries, 41% of the Jobs Done By Young People are at Risk Disappearing Due to Automation⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Asking a potentially silly question: why free education at this point?

  As a social good or for economic reasons?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a more politically and ideologically diverse alternative for Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve seen a LOT of strawman attacks. It usually seems to be honest miscommunication, but underneath that… It looks like predisposition to combative and somewhat-dismissive hot takes.

  And it works. Certain members have swung entire conversations and down votes by implying a person said something they didn’t.

  It’s not unique to online fora, but the concentration seems off here.

  Some of this just looks like people feeling like big fish in this small pond and finding a degree of confidence or even righteousness from the voting patterns.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trust exercise⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What is it? I don’t see anything other than an upside down elephant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What will happen to large companies once poor people have no more money to use?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would they need us except as consumers? At a certain point automation and AI actually do get far enough.

  That may take longer than people think.

  OT Christians (I know, but run with it), see that God blesses his chosen. The more they’re blessed, the obvious God’s favor is.

  Abraham, David, Solomon. All favored and ended up rich.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would happen if all of humanity don't need to work any more ?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, we could always just go original Time Machine. Human sheep just existing until we don’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would happen if all of humanity don't need to work any more ?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We need teachers. Many would do it, but they want respect and support.

  So I’m guessing they’d need money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would happen if all of humanity don't need to work any more ?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is my theory, also. But I think the average would be around replacement.

  Have three grown kids. Three was probably about all I could handle. Love them, proud of them, took the best care I knew to do with what I had… But it was a lot as they got into demand extracurriculars.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I said it’s by the interstate. Locals know where to go, others just get gas and get about their drive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not telling you where I live, but it’s near an interstate.

  I’m not lying and I don’t enjoy the accusation.

  You also, after the veiled ad hom, did nothing to address the topic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If there’s competition, yes.

  If there’s scarcity, where the supplier side has more leverage, the math changes. They may well just volunteer to make more profit.

  Where I live, the difference of one block is 50 cents over two intervals. One number on this street, 50 cents cheaper a block further and another 50 cents cheaper another block down. $1 in difference.

  They’re all in business and have been this way for years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’d go up at least 10 cents. Still worth it to cross the street, but more profit while it’s available.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cities: Skylines 2 developers have noticed 'a growing tendency of toxicity in our community'⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve played CS2 for weeks. Days of hours. Have completely enjoyed it.

  It’s not finished and they’re honest about that. Also, comparisons to CS in it’s finished state (easy to do unconsciously) overlook just how many DLCs it took to get to full maturity.

  I enjoy the game and have no regrets for buying. I don’t feel deceived since I could have asked for as refund.

  I think some of this is a specific kind of FOMO. Fear of missing out (on what could have been). I’m hoping they do enough to fix the parenthetical.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your favorite game you played this year? (Doesn't have to be released this year )⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Dyson Sphere Program Cities Skylines 2

  Both because I like systems and I like to build.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨haha :(⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you find this meme relatable due to anxiety (I do), meditation helped me so much.

  My employer pays for a meditation subscription and it didn’t just teach me breathing or how to think about “nothing.” It taught me to note the thought/feeling, label it as one of the two and let it go.

  I’m not where I want to be, but I’m much closer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Milking machine⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We’d have to account for their height, wouldn’t we?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It would have to be a VERY lazy dog to allow a fox to jump over it anyway.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The full sentence is, “the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.”

  Intent is to use every letter of the English alphabet. Thing is, I’ve heard “jumped” for decades now which ironically leads to s being skipped. I say ironically because it’s one of the most commonly used letters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It would have to be a VERY lazy dog to allow a fox to jump over it anyway.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Mobile phone at 4 Am. Missed the typo. Fixed now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It would have to be a VERY lazy dog to allow a fox to jump over it anyway.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  jumps over the lazy dog.

  Otherwise there’s no “s.”

  It tells a short story that’s visual and full of 2ords people know how to spell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've been wondering for some time⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “You first. (then I’ll see if it snowballs).”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This is what I’m seeing too. If I want food out, I might as well go to a place where the napkin may belong on my lap.

  Decent Italian restaurant entree is close to the same as a fast food combo. About as filling and more healthy (depending on choices).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Study Finds Hybrid Work Improves Mental Health Compared to Remote or In-Office⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s what I’d prefer as someone who is remote. That’s just me, not saying that’s ideal for everyone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Isn't OneDrive/Sharepiont the exact OPPOSITE of a shared drive?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  In SharePoint: Add shortcut to OneDrive In OneDrive: tell it if, or how, to save the folders locally.

  Use File Explorer, like I think you’d prefer.

  It does not work perfectly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨McDonald's franchisee group says new $20 minimum wage California fast-food bill will cause 'devastating financial blow'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  We need an FDR. I’d take a modern Roosevelt. Either of them, assuming they keep up with the times (equality, similar).

  He’ll, he’s part of why Boomers had it good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨McDonald's franchisee group says new $20 minimum wage California fast-food bill will cause 'devastating financial blow'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  How much of the overall cost do you think is labor? Because your dollar figure implies you’ve overestimated by plenty.

  Assuming USD.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Watch: Billionaire CEO says unemployment 'has to jump' to put 'arrogant' workers in their place⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The “left” is anti-violence other than bringing out old phrases.

  We’re not even hearing of acts of vandalism or sabotage, but we want them to be scared.

  Right now, if they don’t get their way, unquestioning and at cheap rates, they are oppressed.

  This is where we are. I agree, they need checked. Unions are getting stronger again (at last). But that’s all I’m seeing. I hope I’m missing something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Frasier’ Revival Sets Premiere Date at Paramount+, First Two Episodes to Air on CBS⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought the same when he spun it up the first time without Cheers cast.

  I’ll give it an episode or two before I pass judgment.

  Like others here, it was the rest of the cast I enjoyed most. Frasier was mostly cringe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would it make sense for a person in a "privileged class" to move from a red state?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I moved from Texas to California.

  While I wish I’d done it with better financial timing, it worked out and I’m glad I’m here. Hell, it sounds like your skills are a food fit for certain places, too.

  If it suits you, find a place where outdoors is a place you can enjoy almost every day of the year. They aren’t as rare as Texas makes it seem.
