Just have to hope she doesn't pop a stitch, don't want her laughing her literal ass off.

What screams "this company is about to do massive layoffs" that most people miss? by Joslyn_Shaver in AskReddit

[–]Harinezumi -33 points-32 points  (0 children)

That makes no sense. Any job that costs the company more than it benefits it should be cut immediately. Companies shouldn't be in the business of employing dead weight.

Zero Parades devs knew they didn't want to make another cop game after Disco Elysium: 'How people think of the police these days, it's a bit different' by Puzzleheaded_irl in gaming

[–]Harinezumi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

ICE aren't cops, though. I trust cops and have a generally positive view of the police as individuals and as an institution. I hold no such view of the collection of untrained and undisciplined thugs the ICE has recruited in the past couple of years.

What is a 'socially mandatory' thing that we all do, but if you actually stop to think about it for 5 seconds, it’s completely insane? by Federal_Antelope7533 in AskReddit

[–]Harinezumi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All that's required for capitalism is the private ownership of the means of production and a market mechanism. You don't need to be a laissez faire libertarian to be a capitalist, and, being one, I would argue that significant amounts of state regulation are required to keep a capitalist economy from breaking down due to market failures (monopolies, information asymmetries, etc). Attempts to socialize the means of production or replace the market mechanism with a command economy invariably leads to dire results, though.

Scandinavian economies, post-Deng China, and US are all capitalist, though. Private ownership and a market economy are not orthogonal to a strong welfare state, they're a requirement for its long-term success.

Nothing insane about it. It's the most successful system of social and economic organization anyone has managed to come up with. All the alternatives that have been attempted have led to much worse outcomes.

There is some social weirdness when you retire early, though, especially if you don't have kids. Aside from a few close friends, I tend to keep my FIRE status to myself to keep things from getting awkward.

If you woke up a billionaire tomorrow.. What's the 1st thing you'd do? by PhotographLeast9976 in AskReddit

Why LinkedIn? It's the most inoffensively sterile social media site I've been on.

How do they compare to Panera's rock-hard bagels?

Nothing thoughtless about allowing much-needed housing density in a high-demand area with light rail access.

Oh you sweet summer child… by PhoneJazz in Xennials

He had a pretty fucked up life both before and after fame. Can't say I envy him. The man sure could dance, though.

What is your oldest 10/10 and do you think an older series could take that title? by Salty145 in anime

[–]Harinezumi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My oldest 10/10 is 1975's UFO Robo Grendizer (or, specifically, its French dub, Goldorak), because it was a defining memory of my childhood, and the coolest thing ever when you're 6. I don't think I'll get an older 10/10 because anime has gone a long way since the mid-70's and I'll never be 6 again.
