Advocate for freedom and tolerance even if you say things I do not like

Accept that I'll probably say something you don't like and I'll give you the same benefit, and maybe we can find some truth about the world.

Ah... Is the Alliteration clever or stupid? Don't answer that, I sort of know the answer already...

I've used concur. It's probably the best product I've ever used that says "SAP" on it. That ain't saying much mind you, SAP is the worst thing to come out of Germany since BEFORE World war 1.

Doing the postgres clean that alex suggested and then tuning the postgres configuration to better match the resources available on my server ended up reducing the total cpu load while increasing my memory use. (The memory use thing is a good thing, I didn't put it in there to sit around looking pretty)

Sort of wish I'd put more explicit descriptions of what things are going on in my book for posterity, but live and learn.

I can already see the attempts to rewrite history that happened just a couple years ago.

There have already been revolutions over this and it isn't even really rolling yet. I tend to agree with you that it's going to be on a level nobody can imagine because things have been so good for so long we have no frame of reference.

The ironic thing is that the people screaming "revolution!" the loudest are also the most associated with the regimes that will be revolted against so they're likely going to be up against the wall with them.

Hypocritical scum was shockingly silent when Twitter was used to intimidate his political enemies including distributing names and other personal information of people who donated to the truckers anonymously.

You live in a bad area? Maybe it's meth. Does it smell like meth?

(I'm kidding, don't smell it!)

I'm not going on truth social, but I was wondering if it was real or not.

I shouldn't have to ask.... But is this real or a shoop?

I'm ok either way, but poe's law is too real.

Statistically speaking, I could see situations where you have a multiple internet connections for an individual and so it becomes quite difficult to count which ones go to which people.

Most people I know have at least two separate Internet connections, for example -- land line and mobile.

The theme song for this movie can be "The Wild, Wild West"

For real...

But I do understand that there's a skinner box element. Some people keep pressing the button until they die when there's a small chance of reward.

"I filled this AI with all the parts of freud where you want to have sex with your mother. I'm gonna be rich!"

And the same ones who allowed Twitter to proudly advertise that the people who donated to the truckers were doxxed.

Thousands of people who anonymously donated to a political cause? Fuck 'em. The son of a vice president who peddled influence? RED ALERT! RED ALERT! PROTECT HIM FROM THE HACKED NON-HACKED MATERIALS!

I feel like there'd be a lot of debt in hell.

Are you richer than a homeless person?

You might immediately think you are, but think twice. The homeless person probably doesn't have any debt to worry about, they don't have any bills, their net worth may in fact be slightly positive.

How deeply in debt are you, and how much of that is backed up with some sort of collateral that's worth at least as much as that debt? How much debt you have is for previous consumption rather than for hard goods that'll last?

This question changed the way I manage my personal finances.

VR is one of those technologies that sound great unless you've used it and you're a human being.

There's definitely a market for it, but it isn't the next big thing these tech types think it is. The fundamental stuff that makes it up is the opposite of the smart phone, and therefore is the opposite of what makes the smart phone the universal phenomenon it became.

That's true! The history of western economics has been a history of falling from crisis to crisis for decades and decades.

They can hide this truth because the numbers keep going up.

But aggregate numbers hide the reality that the rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer, and the middle class is shrinking.
