I should look into matrix. I have a small group of nerds in my group. need video, voice, text, and image sharing. A dice bot is nice, too.

Haha get fucked DoorDash. I’ll pick up my own food before using them.

Capitalism is fundamentally unjust. Someone who doesn’t even work keeps the profits generated by the people who do. Fuck that.

Capitalism doesn’t mean “people trade money for goods and services”

Parrying Isshin’s gun at the end of Sekiro is pretty satisfying.

I would make cautious alliance with someone if that was their principle.

I see job posts on LinkedIn that say they’re AI recruiters. They don’t seem to have a lot of clicks. Horrible idea.

People get defensive and stop listening, stop thinking. You tell them about all the bad things downstream from car centrism, they realize they drive a car, and then they emotionally decide you’re a bad person for “making them feel bad”

It’s a rare person who can tank “you’re making the world worse”

Not going to watch a video, but

The profits have gone mostly to shareholders, who got nearly $40 billion in dividends over the past decade while customers suffer and workers are underpaid.

Standard capitalism. The people who work don’t get the profits.

I don’t really like prequels. A lot of the tension goes away when you know the ending. Getting a concrete answer to a mystery is also less rewarding than leaving it for people to mull over. But I don’t think there even was any mystery left here.

I don’t mind them. It’s important to remember that the current situation is absolutely, needlessly, devastating for people every day. Humans are emotional creatures. Facts like “XYZ people die every day from cars” don’t hit the same way “look at this happy woman! She looks like your sister! And now she’s FUCKING DEAD from a car” move the needle.

Of course, there’s also the backfire effect where something makes someone uncomfortable, so they reject it. Humans are really bad at reasoning.

It’s short and you can find a copy at your library, or on the seas.

You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons.

Sales number is the only language they speak.

They also speak violence, but historically that’s in the form of the rich and/or the state attacking labor.

Oh god concerts are so stupid right now. Can’t see anything because there’s always some idiot holding a phone up in front of your face.

I get annoyed when people hold the phone up high during the show. If you hold it in front of your face, no one behind you can see it. Don’t block people’s view.

Microsoft should be broken up. They never should have been allowed to get so big in the first place.

The Republicans cause more abortions because they don’t do anything to fix the problem sooner. No sex Ed. No contraception. Nothing to allow labor to have stable home lives with financial security. Voting Republican to minimize abortion is counter productive.

We talked about starting a dungeons and dragons game to play during all the horrible long meetings.

Not what you meant, probably, but the pun amused me.

Computers often do what you said, not what you meant.

Honestly more experience with that might help some people who are habitually unclear in their thinking and communication
