- Comment on What are the demands of the No Kings protests? What's the plan if they win? 12 hours ago:
I feel like fixing the current mess would require a pretty serious overhaul of the government but no one seems to be having that conversation.
Obviously the act of protest alone won’t do a thing. It’s a method for the people to express themselves and show those that may have power to make changes that they have popular support. A prosecutor, legislator, judge, or president going out on a lonely limb not knowing if they have support of the people is a risky position to be in.
Believe it or not, all governments (more or less) rule by consent of the people.

- Comment on Please make it stop - Google Chrome to be reimagined with AI 4 weeks ago:
Difficult things like “booking a haircut” or “ordering your weekly groceries” will be a thing of the past Google hope, as they’ll get their AI to do it for you.
I gotta wonder how the ad business will fit into this. Are companies just going to make a bid for consumers that Google will just deliver via blind AI orders like this?
Consumer choice comes down to who bribes the AI the most. This seems almost inevitable.

- Comment on how good are you at lying during job interviews? 1 month ago:
IMO, lying is a terrible way to start any relationship. At best it means you wind up with a job you’re unqualified for. At worst the whole thing blows up in your face. Maybe even the remote possibility of fraud charges.
Don’t think there’s anything wrong with embellishing or talking yourself up, but outright lies seldom work out well. At least in my experience in my industry.

- Comment on Valve are now removing a bunch of sex games from Steam to keep banks and card companies happy 2 months ago:
I think they fear regulation so much that they’re willing to be this proactive to keep Congress off their asses.
It’s still weird to me that they never seem willing to test the boundaries, though. They’ve got more lawyers and lobbyists than they know what to do with.
- Comment on Is it normal that I have this inner conflict of not knowing where I belong? 4 months ago:
I wonder what environments Americans dream of like maybe more like large roads or suburban type environments. Maybe more rural/warm nature type environments. (I guess it also heavily depends where you are from like city vs rural)
Here I am, as an American, dreaming of smaller roads and walkable cities.
Grass is always greener, maybe.

The only reason I started using cases is because they made the latest Pixels so low friction that they refuse to stay put on most surfaces.

It was good and had potential but was cancelled way too early. The finale was a montage to try and wrap the story up. Very frustrating.

The only real change was how open those assholes felt they could be. Doubt they increased or declined at all. They just got platformed.

- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 5 months ago:
Kind of. All you need is fat and lye. Some experimenting would need to be done but I’m somewhat confident I could figure it out.
And you could make a living selling it. Assuming you can convince people of its benefits.
