A lot of folks have watched the show and come to the conclusion that it’s an endorsement of their lifestyles which they view as similar to Rick at the start of the series, plus the extremely toxic behavior that comes along with the impression that you’re better than everyone and your intelligence justifies any behavior you are criticized for

This so strongly feels like the obvious play. Seize the equipment, let them buy it back, require payment for delivery outside of the country. If they haven’t bought it back within 3 months, auction it off to someone else

Other commenter nailed it, but it’s “the one they say no to”

What’s with all the anti-tax memes? This is some libertarian bullshit

Oh no, I could afford to be a landholder AND escape a mortgage on it, and owe a pittance to fund services the property takes advantage of? Fuck off with this libertarian bullshit.

But the billionaires say we need MORE people so they have enough slaves of the colors they like!

Yeah I’m currently dating “I got diagnosed and like who I am on my current meds” Still fucks like a wild animal, though. Wish me luck!

It used to be Uncle Ben and Gwen Stacey. But now it’s only Uncle Ben

Same shit as amazon

It’s per person. There are less jobs, but each does the same number of hours as before

Yes, they’re called being unemployed and having no money

Yeah, it is noteworthy that nobel prize winners are particularly susceptible to conspiratorial thinking under the assumption that being one of the smartest people in the world in one very specific subject means they are the smartest in the world in general.

Do it up Minnesota style. These organizations don’t come from nowhere. Talk to your neighbors. Express these concerns to them. If they share your concerns, connect them with one another. It doesn’t have to be “organize a paramilitary force” but it does have to start with knowing who is with you in your community

The harder to obtain materials aspect, while long term relevant, is barely a factor right now. Lithium production has exploded and resulted in a massive drop in prices that’s making the main consumer appeal for sodium batteries, price, a non-factor and driving some sodium battery producers out of business

It’s not like MIT and the Harvard business review have published studies that have shown that AI is actually best suited to replacing executives and management in order to flatten organizations. But unfortunately, management and executives make the decisions on who AI replaces, and they don’t want to be replaced. Hell at the company I’m at right now they’ve been axing low level workers and bringing on or promoting the ladder climbers (read: AI sycophants who do the least work) to manager or department head roles, saying that us grunts can “10x” to fill the gaps, and that all we need is good and creative leadership to direct our AI use. I could go off on things this business is doing to shoot itself in the foot for hours, even without mentioning AI

This. And chromebooks are glorified tablets. Much less capable than a proper laptop, much less for a child to learn than a proper laptop. Google did MASSIVE pushing to get chromebooks into the classroom to get kids hooked on their platform as early as possible

Just wait until the GENIUS act goes into effect next year!

Is this a thing? Because what comes to mind for me is “the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent,” which just happens sometimes

You’re right, but the further from release you are the less relevant this becomes. Another win for patient gamers
