Bullshit Jobs 8 years ago

First thing I do when being fired upon is ZDV 3/11 "Gefechtsdienst aller Truppen (zu Lande)", the German soldier's bible.

Handbooks are read during downtime not primetime.

Bullshit Jobs 8 years ago

The government needs to step in and spend, spend, spend on large ventures like space travel, medical science, robotics for bullshit job insanity to end.

Isn't it hilarious that the governments are the largest purveyors of bullshit jobs and resource extraction?

I don't see a rational reason why such tax havens should exist in the first place.

From Wikipedia:

An oasis (/oʊˈeɪsɪs/; plural: oases /oʊˈeɪsiːz/) is an isolated area in a desert, typically surrounding a spring or similar water source, such as a pond or small lake.

I know that'll make me unpopular with a certain vocal minority but those folks haven't ever bought me so much as a cup of coffee so I think I'll live.

Great attitude, sir. But who will build the roads? ;)

Support for Intel's Broadwell / Skylake range is actively being developed in the `drm-next` branch found at https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/freebsd-base-graphics/

Current effort is to reduce the difference between "upstream" FreeBSD (being 12.0-CURRENT) and the project branch, and make the code ready for merging into head.

TrueOS merges that `drm-next` work on an ongoing basis. Likewise, if you're on HardenedBSD, there are binary updates via hbsd-update, or if you'd rather compile things, clone the `hardened/current/drm-next` branch from https://github.com/hardenedbsd/hardenedbsd-playground.

How many "problematic" views will you "no-platform" until your "safe space" is a personal hugbox with n=1?

Get over yourself a little and you'll see that the above is the ultimate consequence of your choices to exclude people.

Well today in "tech", if you openly support a republican candidate, good luck being invited at tech events or conferences as a speaker.

Don't worry. Tech is currently undergoing yet another tectonic shift, with the difference that this time it goes into the right direction.

The Americans have a whole load of case law around First Amendment rights, it would be worth familiarizing yourself with that for a few hundred years worth of considered thought.

The First Amendment cannot prevent social ostracization.

Curtis Yarvin is a professed fascist who has written about his belief that some races are more suited to slavery than others.

Having read a good deal of his unqualified reservations, I wonder if you can source this quote for me please?
