Therefore, things like writing, film, sales, etc are less productively scalable by bots

And things like code, where people don't care how the sausage is made as long as it "works" are more productively scalable by bots

And even in the situation of code, the job description leans more on defining what "works" which requires the human touch

Go on TikTok and Instagram Reels, scroll for a week 15 mins a day in the language and travel niches. Don't post until you've done that!

Then post funny, scroll stopping videos. In the comments, and in your bio, mention your app.

You should keep physical books, food, and medication for a SHTF scenario

"Back to Basics", "Where There Is No Doctor" and the Bible are my SHTF books

You won't be coding in a SHTF scenario.

Threats are what every parent tells their child: "If you do X, I'll take away Y"

For parenting, a limited form of this probably makes sense, because the parent has an authority over the child given by The Nature of Things.

But between adults this mode of communication is grotesque, and it is more and more common.

Especially amongst redditors, forum moderators, and other geeks of the ilk.

Selling a product is often funner than making it. You can make TikTok and Instagram videos selling it. You can act in front of a camera, and brainstorm new and creative ways to communicate.

Nowadays, making a product can be quite boring. AI can code up most everything, better than most devs. This problem of "bored devs" is only going to get worse.

You need to be having fun! It's absolutely key. Luckily, it's the funnest time in history to start selling

Of course, anyone who fears falling outside the definition would fight that vehemently

They're lying so they can get unlimited time on the test and/or look at their phone.

They're smart kids that see a loophole in the system. They will take advantage!

My "acid test" for whether or not someone on the left actually cares about freedom, democracy, etc is whether or not they support the Maduro government

There's a shocking amount of people who do!

I never understood how this was common in high interest countries in LatAm, but unheard of in the USA.

Does anyone know? Like actually know, not speculating.

X is higher signal, but very group thinky. It's great if you want to know the trends, but gotta be careful not to jump off the cliff with the lemmings.

Highest signal is obviously non digital. Going to meetups, coffee/beers with friends, working with your hands, etc.

Rather than a call for revolution, my comment was a joke- given the technical bent of this forum.

Because turning things off/on again actually works for so many bugs lol

If we could actually do it- it would actually look something like idealized DOGE. Terminate all contracts. Fire everyone minus the absolutely essential employees. Or at least the employees that can't even send an email (minus NOCs?)

Then slowly build back until it needs to be done over again.

This contract seems like another grift. Hopefully I'm wrong.

I answer "Did you try turning it off and on again?"

No asking for permission with the town because of course they'll have something bureaucratic and dumb thing to say.

We're on good terms with all the neighbors, and just mentioned the chickens in passing. Everyone was excited to get eggs. It was a neighborly project.

We live in small town Maine, where I guess we do things differently than in Michigan.

Government, not so much.

Why? We have a rooster. He protects the hens. He crows in the morning, just like dogs bark, and F-250s rev past the neighborhood road. Where do you think chickens come from in the first place?

It's just another small step to say "hens should not be allowed"

I see this all the time in the private sector where if just 1 person in a team objects to a decision, the team has to jump thru many hoops to make something barely reasonable happen

What happened to "just deal with it?"

I think it's viewed that those words are too cruel, or not nice. But actually, when you give up those words, you end up with a society far more cruel and not nice.
