The only way you can have this vapid take is if you're completely ignorant of the topic you're discussing. I'd say you should do research on the topic but you're clearly fine with needless suffering so I don't see much point.

Man, posts like this just make me depressed. It's full of "have a career so you can have money to solve your problems". If you're un/underemployed you're out of luck.

The government being elected representatives who are there to put forth their constituents best interests.

We need to move beyond this far right "gunermant" bad nonsense and start holding our officials accountable. We shouldn't cuckold ourselves to the capitalist's whims because we're too impotent to assert ourselves.

We should all care about communicating our ideas in a correct and concise way. This rise of anti-intellectualism must end or we're all dead.

Which is a bit funny because tailwind is just smoke and mirrors CSS. Just write CSS if you're going to use Tailwind. You're already doing that but with a proprietary pseudo set of the syntax.

Most education systems, particularly within the US, have very little interest in educating for critical thought and reasoning. They exist as both day care and labor exploitation pipelines.

You run a health insurance company by treating your customers as clients to be empowered not flesh suits to be profited from.

It's just antithetical to capitalism to do things that way.

I've been out for about two years. My retirement is a bullet or poison. It's just that simple. I will never earn FAANG money such that I can make up for the lost time.

If you have significant financial interest in a product or service you're not going to bring on someone who will meaningfully oppose that product or service. Therefore anyone who goes onto that podcast, or whatever media, would be selected for.

It's a podcast. They're only useful for entertainment. If you take advice from them in a meaningful way you're effectively rolling the dice on tabloid grade slop factories.

I can't get a few of my clients to adopt password managers and they get logged out of their accounts constantly because an employee will change some password to an account the business depends on. These people want to suffer and roll around in fetid filth.

Suburbs and rural areas are economic death but they happen. Single family homes cost more and lead to perverse incentives like not wanting housing prices to crater which prevents affordable housing to be built which leads to homelessness. There's no reason a city needs to be a parking lot but while rural and suburban areas persist they all but have to be to accommodate the micro plastic noise and air pollution death machines we call automobiles.

We shouldn't want suburbs (white flight) or rural (incestuous wide beating) areas to exist. Nor should we design cities for cars.

Sure they will. As soon as the general public cares and forces the issue.

Nobody cares about privacy so it doesn't matter.

Return ownership of IP to humans only. You'll solve basically all of the issues currently faced that way.

To add it's only Steamboat Willie Mickey that is public domain. The actual character as we think of him isn't. The creator has been dead for nearly 80 years. It's absolutely insane that any of those creations are still privately owned.

New comment by deprecative in "Car tires shed a quarter of all microplastics in the environment"

Public transit doesn't exist for most folks (in the US), walking isn't feasible (for most in the US), and driving less is not feasible (in the US).

The only options to buy smaller cars which means you're now at eye level with a giant truck that doesn't give a single fuck about anyone on the road.

We need robust public transit and pedestrian focused infrastructure with samn multi-purpose zoning. None of these are happening in the next five years at least so it's on manufacturers to eat the cost which they won't do. This means we all get even more micro plastics in our testicles, ovaries, and/or brains.
