People often blame phones, but I blame the runaway success of Obamas first campaign. His team ran the most effective targeting campaign online I'd ever seen. People I knew in Canad…

That's definitely what I've seen happen most. It is a silly school of thought though. The same school of thought can also be found recommending to not give raises to their most loy…

Every midjourney image has the same feeling to it. A bit 1950s sci-fi artist. I guess it's just that it all looks airbrushed? I can't put my finger on it.

As I said, for everyone involved it is unfortunate, but the majority of people without power still choose not to be complicit in fraud.

Unfortunately for everyone involved, the waiter is complicit in the fraud and no longer deserves a tip.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_the_goalposts reviewing the 'see also' section of the goalposts wikipage is like looking at a syllabus for PR. People are terrible.

You maintain them because theyre made to be maintained. It's pretty hard to wear out silicon. That's why the batteries are glued in and they're made out of glass. To encourage them…

I did and do the exact same thing! Except it's still a grind and I haven't experienced any compounding luck. Just exercises in endless nail pulling. Is it possible that you just...…

Those tools will last forever so that money makes sense. Apples engages in planned obsolescence so the cost isnt the same. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_obsolescence http…

The hard dismissal with 'No' is likely why you got down voted. I am not able to do that. With that kind of tonal promise, especially considering the source you are dismissing outri…

We are all looking forward to your research paper that disproves his claims. Or you know, any proof.

Unfortunately, I've been here for a decade in one form or another. Every now and then someone writes something so pompous that I just can't help myself but post. Back to lurking no…
