The government being elected representatives who are there to put forth their constituents best interests.

We need to move beyond this far right "gunermant" bad nonsense and start holding our officials accountable. We shouldn't cuckold ourselves to the capitalist's whims because we're too impotent to assert ourselves.

We should all care about communicating our ideas in a correct and concise way. This rise of anti-intellectualism must end or we're all dead.

Which is a bit funny because tailwind is just smoke and mirrors CSS. Just write CSS if you're going to use Tailwind. You're already doing that but with a proprietary pseudo set of the syntax.

Most education systems, particularly within the US, have very little interest in educating for critical thought and reasoning. They exist as both day care and labor exploitation pipelines.

I've been out for about two years. My retirement is a bullet or poison. It's just that simple. I will never earn FAANG money such that I can make up for the lost time.

If you have significant financial interest in a product or service you're not going to bring on someone who will meaningfully oppose that product or service. Therefore anyone who goes onto that podcast, or whatever media, would be selected for.

Suburbs and rural areas are economic death but they happen. Single family homes cost more and lead to perverse incentives like not wanting housing prices to crater which prevents affordable housing to be built which leads to homelessness. There's no reason a city needs to be a parking lot but while rural and suburban areas persist they all but have to be to accommodate the micro plastic noise and air pollution death machines we call automobiles.

We shouldn't want suburbs (white flight) or rural (incestuous wide beating) areas to exist. Nor should we design cities for cars.

To add it's only Steamboat Willie Mickey that is public domain. The actual character as we think of him isn't. The creator has been dead for nearly 80 years. It's absolutely insane that any of those creations are still privately owned.

Public transit doesn't exist for most folks (in the US), walking isn't feasible (for most in the US), and driving less is not feasible (in the US).

The only options to buy smaller cars which means you're now at eye level with a giant truck that doesn't give a single fuck about anyone on the road.

We need robust public transit and pedestrian focused infrastructure with samn multi-purpose zoning. None of these are happening in the next five years at least so it's on manufacturers to eat the cost which they won't do. This means we all get even more micro plastics in our testicles, ovaries, and/or brains.

Gen X isn't that young for the most part. My take would be more: they've grown up with capital interests consolidating and commodifying every aspect of life and thus they're realistically looking at the costs and knowing they need more than what feels intuitively reasonable.

The delusion, or naivety, is that they'll find success. Then again what's the alternative? Death.

Unlike Dotcom, NK Kim is going to achieve his goals by uniting the Korean peninsula when SK becomes a ghost land due to a collapsed birthrate.

We don't care about productivity. We care about controlling labor. The more control you have over your labor the more you feel like you're doing things. Zero trust. Zero verification. That's just how it works.

Do CS degrees make sense in an A.I. World?

No, nor does it matter that it's not A.I. nor that it's not fundamentally useful for replacing humans. What matters is cost reduction for businesses who leverage the technology. Why bother hiring six SWEs when you can hire three and make them clean up a "prompt engineer"'s work?
