Given that it’s a YT video, I’m assuming it’s trash content anyway.

- Comment on should I apologize to this friendly manager I had an argument with? 1 week ago:
Apologize, but avoid relitigating the argument.
Apologize for raising your voice, even if she did it first. Apologize for not listening to her arguments, omit the triggering discussion.
You’re apologizing for your behavior that you think was unacceptable, nothing more.
Have a constructive conversation a little time after that. That’s when to bring up the trigger.
- Comment on Just got this flyer in the mail today. 1 week ago:
An ad in NZ would be in ºC that “75” looks suspiciously ºF.
We’d also more likely call it a “heat pump” rather than “A/C”.
Though $8000 does sound about right for South Pacifuc Pesos.

Why desensitize a population to something that they should be sensitive about?
Cynically, I think this has already happened. That horse has bolted.
Which is your say, I do agree with your argument, I just think it’s already too late to argue it.
- Comment on Too soon? 3 weeks ago:
That’s OK. A civil war is a small price to pay for having the 2nd amendment to protect the 1st.
Or something like that, I heard it somewhere.
- Comment on How popular/important do you have to be for your death by homicide to be labeled as an "assassination"? What if the homicide is for a private matter that's separate from their importance? 3 weeks ago:
The term “assassin” likely has roots in hashshāshīn (“hashish smokers or users”), a mispronunciation of the original Asāsiyyūn, but not a mispronunciation of Assasiyeen (pronounced “Asāsiyyeen”, the plural of “Asasi”). Originally referring to the methods of political control exercised by the Assasiyuun, one can see how it became “assassin” in several languages to describe similar activities anywhere.
Apparently by smoking.

That’s the point. A gun’s purpose is to kill.
And I was thinking of the victim being an animal that needs to be euthanized or something.

Technically, it’s when an assassin does it.

- Comment on Too soon? 3 weeks ago:
and in some ways it was a good thing.
It is. It really should be a prerequisite for gun ownership: you have to kill something.
That is a threshold I can’t personally cross, so I don’t think should own a gun (i dont).

Correct.
I also believe that on of the criteria for a binary planet is that the barycenter is outside either body. Like Pluto/Charon.

Paying an employee minimum wages just means you’d pay them less if it was legal.

- Comment on Does AI need to be perfect to replace jobs? 5 weeks ago:
I meant it doesn’t need to be perfect. It only needs to just barely as good as the people it replaces and appear cheaper on a balance sheet/cash flow statement for the quarter. Otherwise every service company wouldn’t be buying crap ‘AI’ chat bots for all customer facing duties.
Alternatively, self driving vehicles are probably already better than the bottom 50% of drivers in 50% of situations. I.e. driving on a road. We still want flawed human oversight of that.
- Comment on Does AI need to be perfect to replace jobs? 5 weeks ago:
Well, the employees it’s replacing are not perfect…
It just needs to be cheaper.
