- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 4 days ago:
Actually… celebrity worship of this type is why America is in the hole it is in.
Actually, it isn’t. Sure, Trump is from reality TV but without the four decades of neoliberal rot hollowing out the country people aren’t desperate enough to think this fool can fix everything alone.
Trump is a product of decades of austerity, lax antitrust enforcement, and reverse welfare.

I have no idea. I didn’t say I had a friend that was a plumber. I said I had a plumber. This is the states man, people don’t usually get all up in each others’ business like this. We’re a transactional, individualistic, and now fascistic people.

I don’t want an endless thread about this issue, because I don’t really care anyway. I have a plumber and the dude’s house is worth twice as much as mine.

There’s a large amount of trade work to be done for individual homeowners. That’s my point. Of course you can have slaves clean the factory boilers, and in a cruel and unjust enough society it’s practically guaranteed that you will do so. But the idea of replacing plumbers with ICE prisoners is ridiculous. It’s much more likely that the plumbers would become ICE prisoners.

I’m sorry but the idea that they’re going to use ICE captives to replace your plumber remains ridiculous. I see very few people using such a service if it were even offered, and certainly not enough people would use it to make getting into the trades not worth it.

With all due respect, which I have no idea what amount that is, this is completely absurd. Most trade work is just not being outsourced because it has to be done locally and that they have a vocational program in a jail somewhere doesn’t mean anything.

I dunno I don’t really foresee armies of ICE laborers coming to fix your HVAC…to arrive more back at the point.

Seems unlikely in my country given the current political climate.

A place near me has this too, and it’s usually very empty. The thing is that it is not that serving beers and mixed liquids isn’t automatable. It’s that nobody is going to sit on a bar stool and talk to a kegerator.

Only so much outsourcing you can do for trade work. Indians living in India can’t exactly fix your pipes remotely.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 3 weeks ago:
That’s part of what Sarah Kendzior has argued for a decade or more. US companies and klepocrats (though I repeat myself) know that the only thing that can match their weight is a powerful federal government. Turning the US into 50 warring little nations will make it easier to carve up. It is undoubtedly the same case for a strong European Union, which is why the right’s other “big project” is to destabilize the EU and attempt to get it to disband.
- Comment on Do we have No Man's Sky fans here? 5 weeks ago:
Yeah and having an expansive universe with like three languages and three races of intelligent creatures, none of which seem to have any personalities just left it feeling shallow.
There’s no storyline in even the main story. It feels like a vast and lonely universe. I think procedural world generation has largely the same problem as generative AI: infinite slight varieties of responses, all of which are as bland as a HR seminar.
I’ve come to realize over time that I would prefer a completely linear story to games on the other extreme end.
What you’re suggesting sounds very interesting though, linear and more handcrafted content paired with procedural content to pad in the margins. Keep playing forever if you want to, but feel a sense of story and accomplishment in the main storyline.

Sorry about your sisters dog, that’s heartbreaking.
Not my sister’s dog, my dog’s sister / littermate but yeah still not great.
Yes, just like most things you vaccinate against it’s possible to have a breakthrough infection, but the immune system is still more equipped to fight it. This guy just didn’t vaccinate her at all. Vaccination can be the difference between having a breakthrough infection and getting better in a couple of weeks and dying from or being permanently disabled by a disease.

My dog’s sister died at age two or three because the owner didn’t vaccinate her. I think she died of kennel cough.

- Comment on Linus Torvalds on a ridiculous job performance metric at tech companies and the prominent figure responsible for it 1 month ago:
It reminds me of the quote, “if I had more time I would have written you a shorter letter”. Terse code is often better, because it is often developed using a process that only adds necessary things or was disambiguated during the development process.
Lengthy code is often written because a person coded their misunderstandings, their ambiguities about the problem space, and their early failures at solving the problem into the code.
