And that's why Zohran is great. He answers questions like this so well that interviewers stop asking, because they'll just be teeing him up to explain his platform in simple, easily understood detail

This is fucking stupid. It's when you concentrate as group in a place. That fucking simple. And it's, it's always horrible

A sane society wouldn't create a currency based on debt

Our entire economy is balancing on infinite growth, because it's all made up of chains of debt that all siphon off money upwards, at every step

Yep... It's amazing how hard it is to convince people that China is just capitalism and the government doing things

Things the US (and most) governments have explicitly defined authority to do already, they just pretend that it's unthinkable

You get hit by a baseball. Then you're cursed with an overwhelming fear of getting hit by baseballs

This compels you to get protective equipment and hide behind a guy (who's entire job is to catch the ball if it makes it past the batter)

It's because they become an avatar for their money

Every tweet Elon makes affects his horde. Every single one - and usually it's just a few hundred thousand and balances out- but occasionally it's hundreds of millions in the red

And Elon can't help himself. Most of them can

They can only be themselves in locations with tight information control, which is generally resorts with other billionaires. Who seem to be consistently in a pissing match with each other about their wealth and influence

And that's why they're fucking inhuman dragons

Nah, Mars sounds great. A tiny prison of their own making, as the corners they cut slowly come back to bite them? That's poetic

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 2 points 4 days ago

Anyone who says that is pretty stupid, but I don't think I've ever met someone who actually held that position

I will say that working to colonize Mars will teach us to fix the Earth... But it would be real nice if we stopped fucking up the Earth in the first place

Do you like where you work, and does it pay enough for you to live comfortably? I think that's the most important question

Next is how long do you think it would take to get a new job if the contractor life isn't for you?

Other than that, I'd lean towards going for it. You can make a lot more money as a contractor or you can work a whole lot less. Finding work can be difficult, but if you make relationships work tends to lead to more work

Granted, finding work can be challenging and stressful sometimes, so it's not for everyone

No, that's the rationalization. They admin wants to use palantir to collect data on American citizens, including giving ICE mobile camera installations to do face tracking. They want to do a 1984, and they don't want any speed bumps from the states

Also, AI companies gave Trump money and there's talk of restricting their power/water access to data centers to prioritize the people living nearby

Yep. We're probably all going to die

This is why I absolutely will not have children. Not like this.

I don't know how to respond to this but to say I'm anti-assad? This feels pretty clear cut
