  I’m sure I’m not the only one who does this too. After finding a t-shirt style that I really like, I’ll buy 20 or 30 at once.

  Same with pants, socks, shoes. In every pic I’m dressed exactly the same. I never have to think what to put on and I never have to think too hard about what to pack on a trip.

  One less thing to worry or think about in life.

  I think Google can never really hope to disrupt itself. The entire company is oriented towards selling those ads. So any other internal division that tries to eliminate the ads division is going to have a very uphill battle.

  IMO the industry is ripening for disruption and someone will come along with a new idea for how to incentivize content generation and it will very likely continue to involve some heavy commercial marketing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Do Sovereign Citizens Keep Pursuing Unsuccessful Legal Defenses?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The state asserts its sovereignty and backs up the claim with the consensus of the people and a lot of guns.

  A sovereign citizen makes the same claim but fails to convince or compel others to agree.

  They very well might believe in some god-given authority but that’s not how any of this works.

  But maybe an SC will uncover a deeply hidden loophole someday and win an argument. The law affords them the opportunity to try.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cybercriminals have stolen almost 100 staff logins at the Big Four banks, experts say⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a funny article and kind of reads like the reporter just discovered the “hacker” community. Is it a scare piece for uninformed readers?

  They highlight a social media post where some cybercriminal is selling username/password lists for crypto.

  I don’t know if it’s common knowledge or maybe I hang out in weird places but there’s a whole lot more of this on the internet and has been for as long as I can remember.

  The reporter goes on to allude - although doesn’t say exactly - that the accounts require 2FA at the banks to grant access so they aren’t actually compromised.

  But then the reporter goes on to say the usernames and passwords might give “initial access” which is bad, but didn’t really explain what that is.

  I guess the real news is that these credentials were stolen with a keylogger. What kind of bank IT system doesn’t have better malware blocking?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump's eligibility⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think there are two answers to this. First, there is a long standing tradition in the US that the new guy doesn’t put the old guy in jail.

  Look at so many other countries and so much of world history to see how that style of governing is problematic to the transfer of power from one regime to the next and why it causes its own set of problems.

  The second, and arguably the most important, is that the American people as a whole can elect whoever the fuck they want to be president, no matter what any mid level beurocrat, judge, lawmaker or even current president or other official says about the issue, even if said person is in jail at the time.

  The law and its punishments should still apply to all, including the president and former presidents, however.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realistically... How fucked is the US?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  He seems to lack competence in many ways, but some of the guys around him are a whole lot more conniving and potentially effective.

  It’s also not likely Trump feels any urge to hire a somewhat moderate(ish) cabinet of professionalls like he did last time. I assume he learned his lesson given that they all eventually turned on him.

  So let’s see. I think he’s spent the past 4 years surrounding himself with some bad hombres, to borrow a saying, and now he’s ready to act with fewer guardrails.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is American politics really as seemingly satirical of itself as it is portrayed?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s important to realize that in most democracies this isn’t a bug, it’s a feature of the system. The founders of these systems wanted to ensure that major decisions were deliberated, not rushed into, and that there wasn’t a lot of room for an executive power to make snap choices that would determine the future of the nation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon watches an old concert video⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s normalized in the US to be fat. All the people around are fat too, so they are rarely shaming. You’ll fit right in.

  If you’re the only fat one in the group (like when you go to most of Asia) they usually make sure you know - repeatedly - that you’re the fat one. It’s a pretty big incentive to not be that one.

  If everyone else is fat too, then why bother (aside from the million health and happiness reasons)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is true romantic⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The class clown kid from my high school (looked like a clown too) ended up with a smoking hot wife, seemingly way out of his league.

  Around high school I can remember him asking and being rejected by just about every girl.

  Only reason I can think of is he got so used to rejection that he was completely unphased to keep going and the numbers game eventually worked out for him.

  Good on him and a lesson for the rest of us, lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ikea’s CEO has solved the Swedish retailer’s global ‘unhappy worker’ crisis by raising salaries, introducing flexible working and subsidizing childcare⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It sounds obvious on the surface but higher wages don’t always equal happier staff or more output.

  I don’t think the staff making 500k at OpenAI will be measurably happier with another 100k, for example.

  But there is definitely a lot to be gained by getting staff as far away from a sense of poverty as possible and ikea might have helped their line workers a lot with this change.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Report: In Western Countries, 41% of the Jobs Done By Young People are at Risk Disappearing Due to Automation⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the ideal outcome. I’m afraid other factors will conspire to make this an unlikely outcome.

  A glaring problem is that the people doing the jobs that take 20 years of experience were once young and needed to get their start somehow. If young people never get their start… They will never have the skills for the older person job, further incentivizing more centralization and automation.

  My next concern is that humanity as a whole has some fundamental flaws. One of them being laziness to pursue endeavors that are hard when there’s a lack of motivation. I think the underlying message of the movie Wall-E kind of address that.

  If there’s any doubt, look at the economic output of regions around the world where food is never in short supply because there is never a winter. The people are poor, largely uneducated, not entrepreneurial, oftentimes ruled by dictatorships or regimes, not really going anywhere, and yet they are fed and sleep in a hovel.

  Whether they are happy with this outcome relative to a wage slave in a different kind of culture is a topic for interesting debate, but I think their stories show that people left to do whatever they want with their own time do not necessarily, on the whole, become mass producers of the arts or automatically find joy with their lives.
