Things seemed pretty good in the pre-agricultural age of hunting and gathering.

We can’t even ditch the electoral college that regularly thumbs its nose at the popular vote, how do you think we’ll get ranked choice to become the federal norm in 4 years?

Looking at the past 40ish years, no party has ever held the presidential office for two consecutive candidates (not terms, candidates), so we’re pretty much guaranteed a Republican president in 2028 even if Biden wins 2024. And even though Trump will be rotting in a prison (or grave) by then, the Republican candidate will be just as evil, if maybe more eloquent about it.

I’ve never left my phone, keys, or wallet in a public bathroom either, and those can’t kill anyone (unless you use the phone to read your comment, which causes death by proximity to stupid).

Left for Firefox when they announced this update. I still have to use Chrome when I work in Google drive since basic functions like copy/paste don’t work in non-chrome browsers, but even without this update the minute+ time it takes for chrome to open reminds me I made the right decision.

The bad people are already in power. Always have been, at least in my lifetime. Am I supposed to find comfort in voting for bad people because other people are worse? It’s as hollow of an argument as “other people have worse lives than you do so you’re not allowed to care that your life sucks.”

And we’ll happily blame people like you, whose toxic attitude is half the reason we’re choosing not to choose in the first place.

Ok then! One vote for Trump is better than multiple not-votes for no one, so I’ll vote for Trump!

That’s the thing about capitalism, it doesn’t have to be a conspiracy to be evil. Capitalism will optimize for the cheapest option to acquire the most profit, and generally the cheapest option is also the one that’s the worst for the workers/environment/consumers.

Sadly in my experience the boots theory is no longer accurate as the $50 pair of boots fall apart as quickly as the $10 pair, especially when talking about electronics. There may be longer lasting devices out there but the price is so beyond my price range that it may as well not exist.

Updated for 2024, the boots theory would read something more like a $50 pair of boots lasts for one year and is mostly comfortable to wear, the $10 pair lasts for one year but is uncomfortable to wear, and the $2000 pair of boots is comfortable and will last many years but anyone who buys them will toss them after one year anyway when “the fashion” changes.

You can thank Disney for that one.

He can only read surface level thoughts. Any deeper and we’d be able to tell, proving his existence, which would make faith irrelevant and lead him to disappear in a puff of logic.

I already have that unlocked irl, it’s called anxiety!

No, they just create them and make them wildly successful so they have a backdoor in everyone’s pocket.

The challenge comes in being a scapegoat for when things go wrong (albeit a goat with a golden parachute) and a hype man for when things go right.

But as others have said AI won’t replace executives because it’s executives making the decisions to use AI, and no one with power will ever choose an option that reduces their own money.

Only at first.

Then every version will be ad-supported.

I don’t disagree. I would be happy if his name was never uttered in media again except for “Trump sentenced to life.”

However it would be delightful to have the name pass, and infinitely delightful if he ended up in the same prison.

My employer software has us log in with just our password, no username. I don’t know exactly what’s going on in the backend but I know I don’t like it.

I can deliver completely bugless. The secret is code that doesn’t do anything, acts the same as code that doesn’t exist.

That’s great in theory, but there’s just too many people for that to be anywhere close to realistic. If we had about 20% of our current global population, then I’d agree with you, but even the worst pandemic in modern history couldn’t scratch 1%.

I disagree.
