Imagine how much better the world would be if gas cost $100 per gallon

Bye ,

Exactly.

If gas cost $100 per gallon, cities would HAVE to build trolleys or subways. Which is my dream. I just want trains

Bye ,

What’s wrong with potato salad?

Bye ,

Why do they need immigrants? There are people here now who need jobs, they can do it.

If I hear “immigrants will accept lower wages” one more fucking time I’m going to lose it, that’s just an intentional creation of a lower class, it’s feudalistic and coercive. Same thing with farm labor. Pay a reasonable amount and local people will do it.

Bye ,

Yes exactly, thank you.

Bye ,

How about a wealth tax for people with over $10 million dollars of assets

How about tripling the size of the IRS (or more) so that the government actually gets what it’s supposed to

How about cutting foreign defense spending

How about increasing the corporate tax rate even just a little bit

Or only paying social security to people who need it

Or getting rid of insanely wasteful farm subsidies

But yes, I think we actually agree, that people who come here need to be paid a fair wage. That was really my point. When people talk about immigration to fix labor shortages, they almost always mean minimum wage or thereabouts (or even lower like for farm workers).

Bye ,

No that’s why I clarified foreign spending instead of domestic

Bye ,

Someone explain to me how this would benefit the rich. The rich don’t pay income tax.

Bye ,

Tax cuts for the rich are capital gains tax cuts and corporate tax cuts.

Income tax cuts don’t impact them, broadly.

Bye ,

The truly rich would be fine. They don’t pay income tax, they live off of capital gains.

That’s just punishing people at the top of the working class. Doctors, lawyers, etc.

Bye ,

Just fucking sink them

Bye ,

How are they going to know it wasn’t Ukraine

Bye ,

Nothing, it seems close enough to most that they actually can’t think about it any other way apart from human.

Bye ,

Why is the right becoming more popular? What changed?

Bye ,

Is this because they waited too long, or because the answer is something other than anti-immigrant sentiment?

For example, there’s this statistic that almost everyone dies shortly after having CPR performed on them. Paradoxically, that doesn’t mean CPR is bad: it absolutely saves lives. It’s just that they do it too late on a lot of people (and also perform it on a bunch of people who are going to die no matter what but that’s not the point of this anecdote).

Bye ,

No. In the US at least, wages are up for blue collar work, and that’s where the economy was most vulnerable. Inflation has been bad but it’s coming back under control and wages can outpace it in the next couple years, median wage growth already has (yes I have a hard time believing this too, but that’s the numbers).

The last financial crisis had a flagrant cause in default-prone loans. There isn’t such a problem right now.

The largest crisis we are running into is a crisis of propaganda, where people are being told “everything is terrible” when in fact the numbers show that everything is pretty great… except for white collar tech workers (me!).

I think the tech market will rebound the second that the fed lowers rates again, because tech is fundamentally capital intensive and speculative. So you need cheap money to fuel tech. Video games deflated/corrected a bit but that’s fine, those people can work on other things.

I’m still enjoying civ5 without any DLC

Imagine actually going to daily standup, wow

I made a daily meeting invite, and told my team to never show up to it. Lets them show up to work an hour later since I put it in the calendar for 930-10.

Bye ,

I hear you, but I disagree. My people are great at slacking me or each other when they need stuff. We have a great collaborative atmosphere. They set up meetings with each other and with me as needed, and I’ve heard over and over that they really like that. I have weekly 1:1 meetings with each of them, and usually we hang up after 15 minutes because they know what they’re doing and can get back to it.

Bye ,

Yes that’s so dumb. It’s like obviously stupid. He could have stepped down and I’m sure she could have instantly found someone impartial to take his place.

I know there isn’t technically a conflict of interest, but there appears to be and that’s enough.

Bye ,

Correct it doesn’t, I agree. But that’s the status quo, that’s what the prosecution has to fight against. They ARE on their back foot because of Trump’s enormous and violent following. And when you’re on your back foot, you have to be perfect. It’s unfair and it’s total shit. But they screwed up.

Bye ,

They’ve been raised on systems where you don’t need it, and they fundamentally don’t understand how one talks to a computer. It’s actually quite a bit to learn, and if you didn’t grow up doing it, it seems like a big cliff.

Bye ,

EV Miata please. With 4 wheel drive and a power hard top convertible.

Bye ,

Good. Kids don’t need cell phones, and they really are a huge distraction.

Bye ,

Not totally true because my sierra 2500 has cameras in the front, shows you what’s immediately ahead if you’re going less than 15 mph or so. Beeps like crazy and vibrates your asshole if there’s something in front.

Bye ,

Which will also mean a renaissance for classic vehicles for EV conversions. Currently the EV market is too small to really support them, but as EVs start hitting junkyards, it will become a big deal.

Bye ,

I did two post docs and they were great. I learned many valuable things, foremost among them that it was time to get the fuck out of academia.

Seriously I regret nothing, I had a great time.

Bye ,

Literally my advisor. Like damn.

Bye ,

Sure does!

Bye ,

If the rich don’t benefit from a policy, the policy will not be enacted. Turns out this is true internationally as well as locally.

Bye ,

Glyphosate is an herbicide, not a pesticide.

BT plants would have greatly reduced the need for pesticides, but we somehow decided gmos were bad

Bye ,

Hahaha python

They don’t even have math in the base language, you have to import numpy to do basically anything.

Bye ,

Is that instrument cluster from a jeep zj?

Bye ,

Thanks for making me feel good

Liberal icon Bernie Sanders is running for Senate reelection, squelching retirement rumors (apnews.com)

Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont announced Monday he will run for reelection this year, squelching speculation that the 82-year-old progressive icon might retire at a time when the Democratic Party is anxious about the advancing age of its top leaders....

Bye ,

Love Bernie but it’s time to move over for someone younger.

Bye ,

I use mpv but the configuration is a big pain. Just try overriding a subtitle font in mpv, there are config files to change that don’t even exist by default and they live in different places depending on mpv version and it’s a huge mess.

I still do it because it’s lightweight and for some reason has better performance for me than VLC.

If you take care of your parents or other elderly, how are you preparing to age gracefully?

Experiencing firsthand how difficult an aging alcoholic, quadriplegic, post stroke, narcissistic, demented or simply ‘nothing’s wrong with me, I can drive, I don’t need those meds, I don’t need to go to a nursing facility’ kinda parent surely gives you some insight on what to do, what not to do and how to prepare for...

Bye ,

I don’t have kids but I’d kind of like to have adult kids when I’m old. So maybe I can adopt a college age person when I’m like 50 or something

Bye ,

How is that easy?

Biden has to support Israel. It’s a centerpiece of us foreign policy for a reason; they want a friend in the region, and there is huge support from his constituents. It’s basically politically impossible to say no.

Bye ,

You say that, but americas actions paint a totally diffedifferent picture. They are joined at the hip with Israel and that isn’t going to change easily.

The new class war: A wealth gap between millennials (www.cnbc.com)

There may be another factor creating so much wealth among millennials: inheritances. In what’s known as “the great wealth transfer,” baby boomers are expected to pass down between $70 trillion and $90 trillion in wealth over the next 20 years. Much of that is expected to go to their millennial children. High-net-worth...

Bye ,

The “aspirational spending” is real. It’s all over. It’s why you can finance just about everything on Amazon these days.

Bye ,

Not related but why do Palestinians have so many children? The Israelis do too but not as many.

Bye ,

Also my fav OP :)

Rcpp is probably the best thing to ever exist.

I reject tidyverse though

Bye ,

It took about a decade to undo the conditioning I gained in college and grad school to wake up every day at noon. Now, ten years later in my early 40s, I’m able to wake up at 10 am.

Bye ,

I fundamentally don’t understand the fixation on pistol grips and thumb holes and threaded barrels. At least they left that last one off for shotguns.

Bye ,

The day I learned that Linus shares my disdain for all things OOP was such a good day for me.

Bye ,

He’s not though, you should look into it

Bye ,

The censorship gets to me, too.

Try asking bing image creator to draw Jesus. Not a problem. Buddha, Ganesha, David and Goliath, Zeus, no problem. It will give you great depictions.

Now try asking it to draw the prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him. No joy.

Censorship.
