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.

An authoritarian, controlled economy will fail. We don’t need any more examples to understand why.

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.

Never ask this question of anyone ever again.

I’ve experienced both extremes of fiscal class: inherited wealth and opportunity as well as prison and homelessness. It’s a double edged sword, a great curse and advantage concurrently.

Way ahead of you.

If Google’s not the final say in driver QA then I think it’s fantastic. But, the last phone that I’ve rooted was an S5. I don’t know what’s up today.

Samsung does indeed have a bunch of bloat. I think we’ve both made well-informed and reasoned choices, picked our poison. We likely share core ideology because we both would like to choose a fairphone.

Removed by mod

My wife and I’d Pixels were rock solid until one day a Google update came along and killed them with an unrecoverable loss of critical functionality. The only way I’d recommend one of these is if one heavily values having the newest thing for cheap, or for the wide angle camera.

That’s not a question. Your loss.
