- Comment on All the cartoon companies be like... 6 days ago:
Most dogs have servile idiot personalities. This makes me suspicious of anyone who says they are a “dog person”. It’s not a great accomplishment to be loved by a creature literally bred to love their master unconditionally.

“Ankh-Morpork had dallied with many forms of government and had ended up with that form of democracy known as One Man, One Vote. The Patrician was the Man; he had the Vote.” — Mort (1987) by Terry Pratchett

This is why you keep the same person assigned to perform the same test for the duration of a study. If there’s going to be deviations from protocol, they should at least be consistent.

“It is February 27th 1933 and I am Marinus van der Lubbe, a somewhat slow young man who was just asked by some very brave good protestors to help set a small fire in a strangely unguarded nice building they doused with flammable liquids. What should I do?”

What’s to stop any malicious merchant from pruning unfavorable reviews? I trust moderated gossip channels with no financial stake in review sentiment over curated marketing advertisements masquerading as “customer reviews”.

- Comment on Hrmmmmm 2 months ago:
The trick is to lock in a sustainable situation where power is spread out more than it is centralized. Democratic republics achieve this but, if your goal is simple “efficiency” (e.g. your personal political faction not restrained by rule of law) and you ignore the benefits of freedom of expression and movement that democracy gives you, then centralized autocratic control is tempting.

- Comment on Ok, boomer 2 months ago:
Buying a house increases the switching cost of moving to seek new job opportunities. Since we’re no longer in the days of pensions renting makes sense. Imagine buying a home in Detroit before inscrutable politics and macroeconomics caused it to decline; buying a home means you risk holding the bag, especially if you don’t know how to manage risk from climate change in the coming decades.

- Comment on Jane Goodall, Eminent Primatologist Who Chronicled the Lives of Chimps, Dies at 91 3 months ago:
RIP Dame Jane Goodall.
As mentioned earlier, Jane Goodall is a Dame of the British Empire, the female equivalent of a knighthood.
When I saw the real Jane Goodall speak, the MC introduced her as “Dame Jane Goodall”, to which she looked profoundly embarrassed and humble.
