Someone should stop him.

They should also be forced to pay a year’s salary to everyone who applied to a ghost job. (That’s a job that’s not real and they have no intention of filling)

Unemployment lasts a limited time, and this doesn’t address the problems with hiring companies dragging their feet or having ghost jobs.

Police should be held individually accountable

I mean, ruff is an opnionated code formatter. I don’t always agree with it but I’m very happy I can shut down other people whining with “that’s just how ruff does it”.

That’s like using a machine to lift weights at the gym for you.

or they think I’m challenging them in some way

Admittedly, there is a bit of

Them: “It works”

Me: “I don’t believe you. Prove it”

that people might not like. But usually the people who take the most offense are the worst coders.

Technically correct, the best kind of correct.

Republicans can fuck themselves off a cliff. They enable this. It tickles their stupid “in group good our group had” broken brains.

They really just say whatever in pursuit of their goals. Conservatives should not be taken seriously. They’re dishonest, cognitive hazards.

I don’t understand why people dislike tests. They don’t take that long and you need to check things anyway.

Well, I say that, and then I think of my coworkers that don’t write tests and also push up code with syntax errors. Code that they clearly never even ran themselves.

It’s billions of dollars of tax “avoidance”, cheating, and simply not paying. Unfortunately, the wealthy who are calling the shots don’t really want to pay millions for IRS lawyers

I’m pretty sure I read that auditing the wealthy is a huge profit center for the IRS, because they find people who aren’t paying what’s owed. Naturally conservatives (of any party) hate this and gut it whenever possible

Oh good. I thought Sony had their head up their ass and were going to do a PlayStation exclusive.

Meh trailer, but I’ll probably pick up the game eventually. I didn’t love the story changes in the second game, so I’m prepared to hate this ending. But maybe it’ll be good!

I have wondered about that. What kind of range can you get DIY? I guess if you did fire something they could try to do physics to figure out where it came from, but you’d hopefully be long gone by then.

Several thousand hours in gw2. Really liked it.

I hope they keep the stuff I liked. Solo friendly but other people are around to casually join up or whatever. No level grinding. No gear grind.

A prequel seems like it would be unnecessarily putting themselves in a narrative box.

It would be far more interesting to me to either do a time jump forward, or go someplace else. They have the mists in the setting already to explore.

Ooh a Unitarian. Don’t even have to be Catholic. I used to hang with unitarians. Some good folks there.

Partly a self-reinforcing problem. Ignorant and stupid people don’t value education. Providing less education means more people like that, which can lead to less education, and so on.

Capitalism benefits from a poor underclass to exploit their labor. Racism is a mechanism to keep labor fighting amongst itself. I recently read “Dying of Whiteness” and it was a fascinating, but depressing, look into it.

Racism, or more broadly antagonism towards the out group, can also harm public services like education.

If you have more specific questions I can try to answer, but it’s not my area of expertise. Another “but why” won’t get a response from me, here.

Poorly funded education, thick currents of anti-intellectualism. Capitalism and racism upstream from that.
