Opportunity costs still exist

Ars doesn’t let me say what I think should happen to all these DOGE traitors anymore, but man they are the fucking worst in every sense.

“not the onion” is exactly right - this would be too on the nose if it was satire

Another reason I feel good about buying albums.

That would solve many problems, but stuff like “Who gets to visit you in the hospital?” and “who gets your personal belongings when you expire?” might need some thought. There are likely easy to solve, but still require some thought.

Need to do something for stuff like inheritance and visitation rights that’s currently coupled (pun intended) to marriage.

I feel like “using them responsibly” includes not using them in class

I really want people to roll up on the factory, shoot the management, and then shut it down.

This shit is a crime against the environment and humanity.

He really is a profoundly stupid man. Everyone who supports him should be ashamed of themselves.

Maybe the design is bad, then.

Javascript could throw an error to alert you that the input is supposed to be a string, like most languages would do.

I’m still irritated about when I was a youth I found a somewhat obvious security hole, and took advantage of it in a mildly funny way, the staff just punished me.

You weren’t supposed to be able to change the desktop background, but for some reason MS Paint had a “set to background” option that worked. So I set the background to a screenshot of the desktop, and then hid all the icons and start menu. Later, the teacher thought the computer was broken because “nothing was working”.

I think it could’ve been a good teaching moment. A talk about not messing shared resources up, and channel my interests somewhere productive. Nope. Just a lecture and week long library ban. Disappointed.

Javascript is like Dungeons and dragons. It’s a mess, weighed down by legacy decisions, too heavy in some places and too light in others, and used in far more places than it should be. It also has some diehard fans, and some diehard fans who have never used anything else.

We really should be organizing to fight the right wing, because they’re pretty unified.

It does feel like unrest is coming. I don’t want to live in a world with car bombs in the US, but I do want all the republicans dead, so.

I’m pretty confident that most people moving around NYC are not taking a taxi on the daily. I’m guessing you don’t live here.

Monogamy? Suck it up. Focus on the good things in your life.

Non monogamy? See if they’re also open, and ask them out.

New York is more than like midtown manhattan. I would not describe it as “clogged with taxis”.

Also there’s like 3.5 million subway riders per day in NYC.

So I don’t know what point you’re trying to make.

There is truth here.

I think rich people will have assets, like stock, and they’ll get a loan out with the stock as collateral. They pay like 2% on the loan, but they get like a million dollars cash. If that was treated like income, they’d pay a lot more taxes.

Not sure the best way to address this, but it should be addressed.

I feel like if we had spent the money lost to tax cuts on enforcing existing laws, like really throw the book at tax cheats, like put them in orange jumpsuits and make them rot in a cell, we’d have had better outcomes.

The ultra rich should be afraid.

Maybe something that reflects on all the loss. Dead from COVID, chaos from government programs shutting down, allies betrayed, and a mirror in the center that says something like “you did this”.
