  • Also, your fixation here is on pennies and not dollars. Large systems account for waste and allow for less precise action. They do that because they know that enables less logistical slowdown on average and overall they will be more successful in big picture.

    As you grow, you’ll learn to focus on broad strategy and not get lost in fixation on individual tactics. Set good policy and allow people room within to figure it out - without a bummer of a nag in middle management meandering around trying to save pennies at the cost of dollars to justify their existence.





  • You wouldn’t patent the “game” you’d patent the various forms of utility or designs within that game. So throwing a sphere at a life form to then capture it could be one patent, but maybe then you’d also file another patent to cover keeping it alive and caring for it inside the ball habitat. You might file the second off of what is called a continuation filling and in combination, as you need both actions to get the full effect, you might get a bit of extended coverage in practice.

    But the bigger thing here would probably be trademark law, which is a whole different beast.








  • You’re argument here is quantity over quality - “these people kill a lot of other people with those decisions, sure… but they make those heavy decisions lightly and quickly and often with an algorithm! That FEELS impressive to me because I’m a toddler that responds to kinetic stimulus for the sake of it and I can’t see any nuance!”

    Also, part of what you’re talking about is by design - Republicans shoot their constituents in the feet so those people can then have foot pain to complain about. Then, when complaining gets vocal, the gop politicians come in and say “we need to just get government away from your feet and they’ll be less painful” ---- They are the “government” that shot you and you are the constituent with a hole in your foot.

    So whine about government being slow some more.



  • “Sen. John Fetterman is one of those who has loudly insisted that the “public execution of an innocent man and father of two is indefensible.” We are expected to ignore the fact that for 14 months straight before Thompson’s killing, Israeli forces have publicly executed thousands of innocent men, women, and children in Gaza with the enthusiastic support of US politicians like Fetterman.”

    Normally I’m not one to dig into these things, but I seriously think fetterman died and the dude we hear from now is a stand in. Just such a 180… I remember when he was first gaining national prominence, had some interview in front of a Wawa off the freeway - when I saw THAT guy, I donated to his campaign and called my wife in to say, “listen to this for a second, I think this guy could be the president one day”. That guy has ZERO DNA in common with the “Fetterman” we see and hear from today. It wasn’t a stroke, or if it was, it was fatal.
