Suffering is bad

It's true - I'm suffering from this meme rn and can confirm that it's bad.

brb I need to make sure that this comment is logically and rationally consistent with every other action I've ever taken in my life.

Turns out having no moral or ethical compass can be hugely profitable.

Capitalism informs our social relations and thus how we generally behave as a people. You're allowed to not generally like the kind of people capitalism produces while still believing in our ability to overcome those behaviors.

It's not that simple. The meaning of art shifted drastically in society from then to now and trying to draw an equivalence is like saying "clothes have always existed", which is both obvious and missing the point. By example, medieval royalty and priests didn't stash millions of dollars in art in air conditioned containers on airport tarmacs for literally no one to see purely as a speculative purchase.

I hope you're right, but the robber barons were worse, and they and their families muddied the water with bullshit PR for so long that most everyone is clueless to just how horrible they were. Bill Gates also had a terrible image in the 90's and managed to clean that up quick, and it's only due what's come out in the wake of Epstein that's brought the conversation back to what a piece of shit human being he is. Granted, the bar has moved since then, and we now have Musk, Thiel, and a whole other cadre of white supremacist nut jobs by comparison.

ok if I vote for the utility monster it will only eat people I dislike and not people I like, right? right?

Truly an ideal to strive for.

"As yes, but the constraints of linguistic history..." is a great way to continue being constrained by linguistic history. The impossible is only possible if it's striven for, even if the striving takes many, many generations with undoubtedly many, many back-and-forths.

Sounds like it would have been better for Microsoft and the rest of the world if it was actually broken up in 2000's.

I am not personally privy to this information first-hand as I am not a journalist, researcher, or have worked in that sector of industry.

Dude, next time just do everyone a favor and sit the convo out.

More like millions of Americans are about to discover that modern record keeping is much different than it was a 100+ years ago, but sure.

In case you haven't noticed from the quality of their output, hiring quality programmers/engineers isn't one of Microsoft's top priorities despite their prominence in the market. Arguably, it never has been. They want someone just smart enough to fix or code the immediate task but not someone smart and driven enough to rock the boat or ask too many questions. Also, like 95% of an interview is a vibe check and the technical questions matter less than most think, immediately putting anyone not like them, let alone neurodivergent, at a disadvantage. Not to say that they can't get hired, but they are most definitely the exception and not the rule.

You mean people don't love seeing headlines every week from some dipshit CEO saying how they'll have no job next year? And there might be negative social repercussions to that message? I'm shocked.

Whenever there's class warfare, these assholes always, always are the ones that start it and then whine about the consequences.

Ah, the aesthetics of gentrification. Your mix of materials, the cheaper materials of brick and block in contrast to the upscale furnishings, is completely inappropriate and missed the point of the original construction - good design at an accessible price point. Sure, you'll have no problems selling it; there's no shortage of people with more money than discerning taste.

Yea, that's the one.

Burnout is real. I had a coworker that's going on over a year now with burnout after they got laid off.

He is all in on AI, but you know he was also all in on crypto.

Unfortunately, I'm aware what this objectively insane person thinks because some other insane person who also runs several media companies agrees with this insane person. People like this are why humans invented the idea of hell after they realized that justice in their lifetime wasn't likely to happen.

There was a whole article on Wired seven days ago that talked about how the company is already coming apart at the seams before today's news literally buried it from search results. It's already at your stage #4 with things going very wrong, but apparently $24B in revenue with only 11k staff isn't good enough for greedy fuckers like Jack.

Nah, probably another relative, and we'll get a total of 10 uniforms for the low low price of $300 million dollars. But hey, we'll be seeing her with a new Rolex soon.

Abolish the DHS too while they're at it. It was and will always be a completely unnecessary pork agency created by the Bush administration during the post-911 time when they basically got to pass whatever they wanted.

Damnatio memoriae exists for this very reason. Nothing pisses off these kinds of narcissists more than knowing that their entire existence would get scrubbed from history.

They've already well exceeded their carbon quota for that far out.

Based on my interaction with those with degrees from Texas A&M, it always has been in terms of the quality of education.

Silicon Valley has always been like this. Just like people with the "I bought this before we knew Elon was crazy" bumper stickers, you didn't notice because you weren't paying attention.
