i always thought they were for birds to have sex in… nope. turns out we’re subsidizing lazy birds housing problems. bastards.

birds just dont want to work today

the world needs ditch diggers too

hahahhahaha headed?? dude weve been heading that way for as long as ive been alive… the fact that we dont have universal health care and spend a trillion$ a year on a military despite being the biggest assholes on the planet is a giant fucking reminder that we literally are and have been for awhile now…

the public is now managed via fox news, all your ‘representatives’ could not possibly care less about anything more than their own self interests (bought and paid for!)

laws dont matter, rich people do not face any consequences for almost anything.

where arent we a plutocracy?? that we still pretend our votes dont usher in more big business??

i would expect there is a thing they would call the persons ‘effects’ or ‘estate’ which can have a negative valuation. the landlord could file a claim against the dead persons effects, and receive compensation from that… maybe

ha, k. i get it, and youre not wrong about gaining those skills.

I would think a good therapist would be able to provide exactly the kind of inter-human training needed to achieve what youre discussing. the tools exist, the people are out there. can any of those who really want that help afford it? prolly not.

we don’t have a ‘we need this thing to exist’ problem… we have a ‘no one wants to pay for that thing that already exists’ problem, as usual.

that said, you pointed out this causes a lot of societal problems though, and it seems many of the most vocal or problematic are those people (men) who dont think they are the problem at all. no amount draggin them to the help well is going to make them drink.

reminds me of the old joke… ‘q: how many psychiatrists does it take to change a lightbulb? a: only one, but the lightbulb has to want to change’

doesnt matter how good the training is if the person doesnt want it.

you are the product not the customer… the customers are getting what they want

you misunderstand… he was convicted of 34 felonies. its the punishment phase that took his bank account and affiliates into consideration

thats the same for almost everyone who is a billionaire, its very fair!

i always saw the dont be evil tenet as akin to a warrant canary, only clearly for 'this corporation now puts profits over literally everything else"

when google stopped using this phrase… i think it was around 08 maybe before… thats when google turned. like a person whose zombie infection has finally set in. all the cool things about them began to evaporate. the long track record of lies ramps up and that huge graveyard of products began to fill.

the oldest profession… weird to see marketing for it

so youre sayin if we made it uninhabitable we could kill 2 birds with 1 nuke?

ahhhh… weird

kinda like when scanners refuse to scan monetary notes… spose that would be an implementation feature

qr codes with human-readable sections are just that, really freakin visible. just like images with swastikas… those that tolerate that crap will do so, those that abhor such things will report such nonsense to anyone they can. in case of accidental swastika, the rules still apply.

ie, still just an image

i remember at one point one of the idiots inside screams for them all to come on in… i think when her spouse or kids are in danger or some shit. not that that makes any more sense

pfft. ive cut better lines than yours before.

i see a ton of ~65w stuff for general purpose laptops

im going to bet they just havent shifted their supply chains over yet. . i mean, i think it is happening but this shit takes a long time to fall out. it takes years to setup all the materials needed to create this stuff. it takes years to make substantial changes to them while they use up old stock, design new shit and then have to modify assemply a resource changes to get that stuff. and thats years before it hits your shelf.

i think there also might be a ceiling to usbc… my thinkpad lappy has a 230w power supply. can usb-c do that?

at some point (we may already be there) usbc components will be so ubiquitous where it matters in manufacturing regions that youll see literally everything under a certain voltage using it

true story;

im comin back through customs in the bahamas to get on plane the the unites states. i am drunk and stoned out of my gord because we decided to ‘get rid of everything’ before we headed for home…

so i get in line and the armed customs officer looks my drunk ass up and down, pats me down… lifts up my shirt and sticks his finger in the little 5th pocket of my jeans… and pulls out a tiny baggie. you know, the little mini ziplock baggies.

i just about shit my freakin pants right there wracking my brain for what the fuck i bought that would be in that baggie.

computer screws… specifically a set of screws for a hard drive install. you got me officer, is nerd.
