People don’t understand things but that doesn’t stop them feeling ways about it.

Also the US tax system seems complicated and error prone.

Cool, but doesn’t seem like a serious threat

I want job postings and a way to reach people I worked with.

I absolutely do not want the click bait and slop.

I would recommend sticking with that strategy and working on it. Going too “spicy” too soon is risky, and doesn’t really pay off better than finding someone who clicks with you on medium heat topics like “you saw Caroline rose play?? How was it?”

My girlfriend says that it’s often more about flow than content. A well executed conversation about a common topic will go farther than an awkward foray into “so you ever done coke?”

Cars ruin everything. The primacy of cars is upstream from a surprising amount of problems with modern life.

Some times I’d just ask “so what do you do for fun?”, and then follow up. People usually like talking about their interests. I don’t care nearly so much about their work and family. If they’re huge into metal, or play football in a rec league, I want to know.

If you’re lucky, one of their funs will be something you can talk about.

I feel like most of the time saved is by skipping the part where you learn stuff. Like, the AI fills out how you do a left join with this ORM library. Cool. Now I don’t know how to do that.

You know how a lot of managers are annoying and don’t know anything about how shit works? That’s down the road using LLMs like this.

Guy at work did a whole mini project with just LLMs and prompting. I asked him some questions about how it works and some implementation details, and he had no idea. Great. I’m going to have to maintain this thing, probably.

Ehh. I would nullify

I thought it was going to be an endorsement of AI and I am pleasantly surprised it was not.

Off the top of my head …

• free public health care for all.
• forgive all medical debt
• free public education for all, including college.
• forgive all student loan debt
• universal basic income
• more public housing. Homes are owned by the people who live in them, or the state. No profit seeking private orgs.
• close the “buy borrow die” loopholes, where people get untaxed loans to access their wealth without paying taxes
• more tax on the wealthy
• look into making property tax progressive like income. That is, the first $nnn of your house is untaxed, the next chunk at some percent, the following chunk at a greater percent, and so on.
• all Republicans removed from office. They are barred from government positions for life, as well as any private role with decision making power.
• break up mega corps. Disney, Microsoft, Amazon, etc. Their current leadership has their wealth seized, and they are barred from leadership positions for life.
• invest heavily in public transit and safety improvements to existing roadways. Cars are literally killing us as well as sapping our resources.
• mandatory profit sharing for employees.
• mandatory pay transparency
• maximum pay gap between roles. No more janitor making $7/HR while the CEO makes $300/hr
• accounting hijinks to pretend like your org made no profit, or “they’re not employees they’re contractors” are punishable by seizure of all wealth and a prohibition from similar roles for life
• come up with something so venture capitalist bros aren’t deciding the future, if the above doesn’t somehow fix it.

Sometimes the manual steps grow like weeds. Where I’m at now, they haven’t invested in automation much at all. Now deploys take all day. Making a code change is a sweaty manual regression search process. It’s bad.

Some combination of literal child and troll, I expect.

Broader experience will help you make more informed decisions about the world.

Also when you say something like “I’ve never met an atheist who didn’t celebrate Christmas” you sound extremely, let’s say, provincial, and that may have adverse consequences for you in some social contexts.

Hello.

Also meet more people of various backgrounds.

Why would you expect them to be immune to stupidity?

Every jury I’ve been on has been full of really disappointing people. But I’ve only been on two, so it’s a small sample size.

Many things are completely arbitrary and yet have weight. Laws. Language. Being arbitrary is not sufficient reason to discard the idea on its own.

It has basis in reality in that it reflects the experience and judgement of many people. It’s a common expression. Given this post seeks the judgment of people, that basis is insufficient to discard it.

Your reasoning is bad.

(46/2)+7 = 30. 30 is the floor. 25 is too young.

The soul of the USA is rotten. We don’t believe in collective things like mass transit.
