  • Yeah, isn’t that what everyone wants?

    A website where you talk to people and a robot with no oversight shows up and changes what you say, or silences you, or prevents you from talking to certain people.

    At the same time though, I don’t care if billionaires play rock and sock em robots with companies. It just kind of sucks for the people that work at those companies, being tools of a game for rich people to play.











  • I think I lucked out because I live in the suburbs, but it’s a very walkable suburb. There are sidewalks, there is public transportation, and I can walk to the grocery store and back in under a mile.

    There are parks nearby within walking distance, with sidewalks between my house and the park for kids to play in, and all of the main streets have bike lanes.

    I live in America, this is not like European normal standard.

    Oregon and Washington and most of California have a lot going for it as far as human amenities in suburban spaces.


  • Of course you are looking at outliers and I feel like you’re right to the point that outliers like that should have special assessments or breaks.

    Where I live, the taxes are pretty high for real estate, but if you are a senior citizen, you can get a discount where your tax rate is locked in at the value that it was when you retired.

    I also have some acquaintances who inherited a house and at the time houses were very cheap but they didn’t pay the taxes and they were super upset that they were going to lose their house because they didn’t pay the taxes.

    So now they’re bunking up and living in apartments and Scattered because they didn’t want to drum up the two or three thousand dollars a year in real estate taxes that they had to pay to keep an entire house.



  • I would be seriously tempted to try this stuff as someone who doesn’t suffer from CF just to see what it would be like.

    That being said, I’m sure the side effects for people who do not have an illness are probably pretty horrific. I have not done any research, but usually very powerful drugs have very powerful side effects, especially for people who won’t see any substantial benefit for the drug.


  • Pretty much all of them.

    Most tech issues can be easily reduced to rote actions as long as you have a little bit of knowledge about the environment in which they are being executed.

    Sure, it’s fun rolling out youth systems and dealing with integration issues and things like that, but after the high watermark fun things, there are large gaps of where you’re just doing maintenance, and maintenance is no fun.




  • The problem is we don’t have a very good method to review our old patterns and make sure that they still hold up in the current meta.

    This is how you get old fucks like the political leaders of the United States reacting to emails as if they were gigantic scandals when reality has moved far beyond that.
