I’m in. Let’s get it going. Labor is basically our only hope now.

Sorta scabby thinking there. The writing is on the wall for tech workers too. The reason salaries are falling is that individualistic mindset. I know it has been recently true in tech that the only way to get a raise is to change jobs. This is proving to no longer be true.

Go! Go!

Woah there, Mr Deep! I see the way you are eye-banging that cephalopod.

Yes that’s the idea, but perhaps it’s not actually a good idea.

I think the plummeting market price per pound of cannabis in Colorado is an interesting case. It has become so cheap that the cost of goods for indoor grown cannabis is higher than the market price. The outdoor growers are the only ones with a favorable balance of costs and product price for the long run.

Anyone want to buy some used lights?

Join us in Antarctica, the one true pole! All those other jerks can have the North one.

I’ve posted this thought a lot recently but it pertains.

All polls are push-polls. If the results are published anywhere, it is an attempt to further steer oublic action and opinion.

The only moral thing to do is lie like a rug whenever taking a survey.

I personally lie to pollsters because ALL polls are push polls. I can’t be the only one who feels this way. So tired of being a useful idiot, so I try to be less useful.

I take it as a major moral obligation to lie to pollsters. For similar reasons, when using a proprietary LLM, I make sure to inject completely random profanity in all my responses to poison their training data.

ALL polls are push polls.

I have a modest proposal.

Let’s all just skip a generation and no one have kids this time. We can easily start having kids again later with a nice clean slate.

Good idea, right?

I just have to pont out, If you have to have a job, you are working class. It doesn’t matter if it’s a well-paying automation job, you are still working class.

The purpose of a system is what it does. Apparently the purpose of our food systems is to overcharge for a basic need and to give you listeria.

Do Mormons next!

The purpose of a system is what it does, after all.

And Hitler’s lady friend, too.

You don’t have to get a smart tv at all. TVs do not need to be smart. If you search ‘business monitor’, you will find large quality displays such as used for corporate signage. The one issue is they often have only a few inputs, but that is easily addressed and worth it to avoid the completely unnecessary hassle of a TV too smart for your own good.

My two cents

Mr Vonnegut, may I offer this as an intro into that exact subject from an early 20th century Japanese design perspective?

Jean-Claude Van Johnson deserves to be on this list, perhaps as a sixth best-comeback honorable mention.

Overboard, right?

Witness you, adulting so hard after the end of the world.
