Our team sailed our project into rough waters. For some reason one team member absolutely could not understand why we needed to steer the bow of our ship into the waves. Despite every educational effort she kept insisting that we needed to take the waves broadside.

Then, one day she tried to grab hold of the helm. So, I wrapped my arms around her as tight as I could, told her we’d die together, and jumped off the fucking boat.

In the before times we had libraries of books that’d teach a person anything they wanted to learn. If a person had a question and the book didn’t answer there was someone there who didn’t know the answer but damn well knew how to find it. We never had to sort through piles of garbage content produced to waste our time for profit.

Even the early Internet was this way. Its slow degradation became a nose dive with broad adoption of Facebook and AI. I had to starting writing a line of code to search. And, that doesn’t even work anymore.

Violence wasn’t necessary, it was the only means available

Right. The alternative to murder is to be murdered indirectly.

The last thing it seemed like many perceived they had in common was Tiger King.

Now it’s support for murder as a necessary means of change.

This is progress.

Yippee Kai Yay, motherfucker.

Insurance brokers tend to be competent educators.

Wills are easy to create using online templates. Make at least two physical copies, one digital, and get them notarized. Store them in different places. And, make sure several people know where they’re stored even if they don’t have access to that place.

Wills can be very simple, such as “all to wife”. Mine is barely more complicated than that, just providing a series of two alternatives for if my wife is also deceased.

Sounds like you were a salesman either more than fifteen years ago or you didn’t have access to sell predatory products. This too has been slowly enshitifed since the partial repeal of Glass-Steagall and the Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act.

NYC-DSA, 20% of gross capital gains

If you’ve an IRA and are not actively managing it then thank you for your contribution.

They don’t know what they want but they know how to Brexit.

You’d be most welcome at my house.

This would destroy the basis of segregation of ownership from operational control from liability. Corporations would be effectively illegal. Our incarnation of capitalism would fail. Lots of people would further sacrifice and suffer for such a glorious victory for We the People.

My guess is FORTRAN.

Why do coders seem to much more often have the courage of their convictions than those with other occupations?

The one after Luigi.

I give what others are prepared to receive. If you wanted to know then you’d ask. You’re not asking so I’m teaching you how to learn. You’re not learning that. I’m not the one to teach you or you’re just not ready, yet.

I can’t afford to care about you personally any more than I’ve already.

Good luck and goodbye.

LMAO this chump can’t get past the ad hominem and learn… well, anything really.

If you don’t know what Weber’s Iron Cage is or don’t know how it applies, then perhaps you should ask a question.

That’s not a question.

If you need help applying the core concepts governing our paradigm then perhaps you should ask questions

Weber’s Iron Cage and the history of enshitification of technology beg to differ.

So, why in the everliving fuck would anyone rationalize a UI change with appeal to a broader audience?

Even after all this time very few seem to understand what happened between hexbear and almost all other instances: They didn’t want neoliberal drivel to destroy what they’d built. They even made the vast majority think it their own idea to leave them alone.

That’s quite a novel way of saying, “I don’t know what capitalism is actually about, nor do I understand why broad adoption destroys individual choices.”

Kudos on your capitalism. Hopefully, we don’t extend our violent means to neoliberals.
