The CEO is an employee.

If I make ten times the minimum wage, am I working ten times as hard as a minimum wage earner?

Is calling a corn kernel a nut some kind of European thing?

They used AI to flag the images but a human still had to search through them

nodsocket ,

Exactly. If Facebook content moderators don’t like to see that stuff they shouldn’t be following those Facebook groups.

nodsocket ,

Exactly. Elon Musk is honestly one of the most charitable people in our time.

Imagine believing that a service as important as a “global town square” should be a private company.

It might be the Third Place, which has slowly disappeared as people spend more and more time either at work or at home.

What kind of upbringing makes an incel?

Something I’ve always wondered is what kind of women were in the lives of incel men when they were young. Did they have a bad relationship with their mother? Did they lack sisters or other female family members? Or is their family situation irrelevant? Maybe some particular situation in their early years caused them to develop...

nodsocket OP ,

It’s interesting that he did have a sister. I always thought that growing up with a sister would make it easier for a man to understand womens’ perspectives since they literally grew up together.

nodsocket OP ,

I wonder how incels would change if they just had a group of friends they could trust.

nodsocket ,

Imagine routing all your traffic through a google server.

On the flip side, consider this. If few can afford university, then the universities will have a reduced income and they’ll be forced to adapt by shrinking and lowering tuition rates. Cheaper institutions will end up with a competitive advantage. This could ironically make degrees more affordable.

nodsocket OP ,

Why have tuition fees doubled? Where is that money going?

nodsocket OP ,

If no one could get a degree, employers would have to change their requirements to reflect this. Otherwise they won’t be able to find any employees.

Universities need to have their classrooms filled to stay in business. If attendance plummets, then they will be forced to adapt by reducing tuition prices and reducing expenses, i.e. providing less amenities.

nodsocket OP ,

There would definitely be a shock to society in the short term.

nodsocket OP ,

We can lower all of these costs by shrinking the university. Fewer buildings, fewer utilities, fewer classrooms. Not to mention the many extraneous amenities that don’t directly relate to coursework.

What about online university? Then you don’t even need a building and students don’t need to travel to the campus.

nodsocket OP ,

I don’t believe encouraging someone to go into crippling debt over a certification will help them.

nodsocket OP ,

Yes, I acknowledge that this would be a shock to society in the short term. But do we really want to maintain the current status quo?

When I wrote Internet, I don’t necessarily mean people will have to teach everything to themselves. I mean services like online classes which offer similar curriculums to a university course.

nodsocket OP ,

Not exactly. I’m saying that banning loans would lower the price of education, either through cost cutting by universities or by a new education system taking its place.

nodsocket OP ,

I agree with you that we could do this gradually. I’m just creating a what-if scenario in this thread.

nodsocket OP ,

That’s a good point, research would be affected. However it’s worth mentioning that the US government already subsidises research, which might cushion the impact.

nodsocket OP ,

It matters because American culture currently prefers everyone to have a college degree as opposed to any other type of education. Loans exist to allow the poor to “keep up with the Joneses” for a few years and then yoke them into debt for the rest of their lives. If this avenue was cut off then the attitude of the public would change to allow other means of education.

nodsocket ,

Wait, you guys don’t already have hundreds of gigabytes of memory?

Google drive is my swap space

Pretend you’re a Korean parent and you want your kid to succeed without overworking them. Assume you have perfect knowledge of the state of the Korean education system and are not affected by cultural biases. How would you go about raising your child?

nodsocket ,

I think most people would have been too panicked to exploit the situation in any meaningful way.

“I’m dead now. Here’s my death certificate.”

Future civilizations will find all our sequestered carbon and use it as a convenient fuel source.

Millennials are so lazy they can’t even commit acts of violence… Smh

nodsocket ,

I’m going to spend an extra 10,000 to make 200. Look I saved money!

nodsocket ,

You can make vegan bean burgers for way less money than beef. A can of beans, flax seeds, bread crumbs, garlic and an onion are all you need.

nodsocket ,

I’ve always thought that vegan activists would be a lot more successful if they could end these meat subsidies, instead of harassing the public. If the price of meat triples no one is going to be eating meat regardless of their politics.

A churro is a donut

They can call the police for theft. I’d rather give them a receipt then deal with the police.

nodsocket ,

Leavening is not that important when you’re talking about pastries. I would put churros, funnel cake and doughnuts all into the same family.

nodsocket ,

A Cronut is a doughnut

nodsocket ,

Yes, Walmart can call the cops on suspected shoplifters. They even have their own security force to prevent shoplifting

nodsocket ,

If they ask for it and you don’t have it then that would look suspicious.

nodsocket ,

Did they ask and you refused to show it? Or did they never ask?
