The amount of times boomers on worksites called me retarded for not knowing how to do something I'd never done before astounded me.

Meanwhile these fuckers would get real butthurt and start yelling and making a fuss when they'd struggle to find a file they just saved on their PC and you do anything besides silently assist them.

I vowed to be different, to teach my people what it means to be competent and respectful. I tell them I expect to see the same level of professionalism and respect I show them going to everyone around them. It's working! They aren't coming to work high or hungover, they aren't being pieces of shit, and they're communicating with each other instead of yelling insults at each other (well except for when its funny lol).

This has made me unpopular with the boomer leaders but fuck em: we get shit done, we get it done right, nobody gets hurt, and everybody feels respected and doesn't dread coming to work.

There are so many real issues with AI, but being angry about prototyping with it? That is a completely manufactured outrage by extremists who just hate the whole concept of AI rather than its misuse and mismanagement.

AI should be a public good that belongs to us all, managed, metered, and deployed in a way that is environmentally aware. A lot of good can be done, and has been done. We don't need AI girlfriends or surveillance, but we could really use it for research, data, prototyping, etc.. If you can't see this then ask some questions about legitimate use cases and I will share what I know.

I don't care if some guy is prototyping his game with AI assets; that doesn't matter.

I do care if you try to sell a complete product with no actual art, just slop.

I engage with conservative folks on various subs because I find they are often easier to sway over to materialist lefty thinking than liberals are. Post-GamerGate, doing so got me autobanned from a whole bunch of subreddits, including various feminist, socialist, progressive spaces.

As far as I'm aware no right-wing (or adjacent) sub banned me for being a straight up socialist, including places like conservative and mensrights.

This shit is part of why libs suck and will keep losing.

It died before that, with things like the Driv3r debacle.

Modern YouTube reviewers are an improvement over the access journalism of the print mags of the past.

Max Payne 2 was a much better experience in most ways. I'm not really sure what the appeal of Max Payne 3 is tbh.

It's a solid rebuttal, especially when talking about cables (even certified cables are often bullshit), BUT USB-C testers are cheap and you can quickly assess which standards are available for a given cable/port combo.

Still the fact that both USB and HDMI boards thought the current situation was appropriate pisses me off.

He did not side with police, he just didnt like the bougie people joining the cause treating it like a trendy counter culture. To paint the picture a little better, in "The Road to Wigan Pier" Orwell said the following:

One sometimes gets the impression that the mere words ‘Socialism’ and ‘Communism’ draw towards them with magnetic force every fruit-juice drinker, nudist, sandal-wearer, sex-maniac, Quaker, ‘Nature Cure’ quack, pacifist, and feminist in England.

This guy out here just discovered what "opportunity cost" is and thinks it was worth sharing a blog post about it. He doesn't understand how capitalism and the perversion of the market caused by extreme wealth concentration will cause things to valued differently than if we used a different system or had more equal distribution. He also doesn't seem to realize how much innovation is state-funded.

There is an entire book about how Mises economic information problem has already been solved, and the proof is Walmart and Amazon. It's called "The People's Republic or Walmart" and it's good. Considering his argument opened with that, that's where he should start.
