jesus sus, man

it is genuinely possible op saw an ad, then they thought about it but forgot about the ad, then saw the ad again and frequency bias kicked in (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_illusion)

did they mean ‘apps’? sounds kinda similar

-realizing that the reason we still have this broken economic system on the internet is because of fuckers like this guy^^^^

you’re thinking of target, specifically telling dad that daughter is pregnant. its this store thats identical to walmart and sells the same stuff from the same sweatshops, but its kept slightly cleaner and so middle class people who want to feel better than the poors who shop at walmart shop there, but its basically the same store with a 20-30% markup.

Stop accepting ads in your life, ffs. What is it with people and steadfastly refusing to install an adblock? Are you stupid?

so you’re saying you’re willing to hurt 20 people x amount in order to save yourself y amount of suffering. Literally nothing more neurotypical than that.

what i said was theres value to leadership and to management and if you read between the very visible lines I added that part of their role is determining a coherent path to follow. Thats not to say there are not bad leaders (like those who built the pyramids), or bad leaders (like elon musk, who has no coherent vision). Its also no to say there are not bad managers (like Biden, who seems to barely be at the helm day-to-day) or bad managers (like Elon musk, who does not have the organizational capability and is therefore incompetent).

Pretending that a mass of smart or skilled individuals will spontaneously organize and not be torn apart by internal disagreements is possible, but rare. Look at bands. The beatles really had 7 good years between stardom and shit-hitting-fan. They did really good individual work but they didnt build a pyramid. In contrast, look at linux: whatever technical talent Linux has is outstripped by far by the power of his vision and his standards for how the system must evolve. He, like elon, is famous for being a dick: Linus still gets volunteers.

Why should it be blocked from the internet?

If work feels like home.

at home, not like home. theres a pretty significant difference.

If you’re in the ER I’m not sure what else you’d be expecting.

‘bedside manner’

this thread seems to basically just be about cheering on people who cause others deliberate mental anguish.

American here and I am in constant jealousy of Germany.

have you visited? you might find your jealousy is just from ignorance and imagination of what germany might be like rather than what it is like.

For some reason in English we demand one lie to protect everyone’s feelings.

have you ever…interacted with a german? they are not, in fact, robots.

neurotypical game of lying to spare their feelings

you say this like not deliberately hurting people’s feelings for zero reason at no cost to yourself is a bad thing

Your post is obviously super self-serving, but I wanted to note:

there is a premium on leadership qualities rather than technical excellence.

There is a distinction between leadership and management. Both are, in fact, important. And technical excellence is not useful if its not applied in the right direction.

only a handful of people

doesn’t seem like that was really the point. the point was to waste resources on a pointless glorifying memorial – if wheels made it go faster, they would have built more or bigger.

devil’s advocate

i don’t think trump’s lawyer would be supporting desantis

1. given the talk of expensive trains, a resident would infer i live on the peninsula. bart is awful but not that pricy.
2. Berkeley is part of the core urban area on the other side, although as long as you don’t want to cross the bridge I’d argue east bay’s public transit has almost no value given the ubiquity of parking and abundance of freeways.
3. I tried transit up to berkeley once and it took 2 hours, so now i drive and my worst case time frame is 55 minutes. Bridge costs make it roughly the same as transit but at least twice as fast.

no shit about the bay bridge, though. I’ve not driven across that hellhole since 2018.

Not all countries are barbaric

but the US is, praise be

actual heroes.

The most absurd people can still be hateful fucks. You can check for this by seeing if minority communities have worse response times or outcomes in the event of a fire.
