Context/explanation: (at least that’s how i explain it to myself)

It’s about pride. Trump doesn’t like that the “greatest of all countries” US is threatening to have an (even larger) export deficit with china in the future, so he wants to put up tariffs to slow down international trade; this way the deficit becomes a bit smaller he hopes.

And while we’re already at it, let’s extend these tariffs to europe, just for good measure, or so

It is if you just don’t do it.

(Almost) all poverty in western nations today is artificial; That means, poverty is intentionally created to keep people on their toes, because it is believed that makes them go to work. The economy needs workforce, after all.

When there’s a smaller demand for workers, I believe UBI support will go up. That is why I support AI.

You can make it if you just believe in yourself!

At some point one has to ask oneself not whether one can, but whether one should. Is it really worth it trying everything and giving your all for a company which will probably ditch you in the end, after all? I don’t think so. Don’t put in more effort than you expect to get as a result.

selective breeding

I wonder, isn’t sexual selection a form of “selective breeding”?

I understand you’re excited, but aren’t you overdoing it a bit?

In fact not. I may be awkward, but I’m not evil or cruel. So that’s that.

no worries, it is still funny to me

you could start with FOSS software.

Could somebody figure out what the limit of this sequence is? Something like the ultimate meme.

Is this fair?

Is this sane?

What is normal?

The labor market is a market. It is regulated by supply and demand. The good being traded for money is human labor.

If supply goes down (fewer workers being born), prices go up; that means, higher wages.

If supply goes up (more workers being born), prices go down; that means, lower wages.

Fortunately population numbers are returning to sane levels, and doing so without bloodshed, famine or diseases. What a fortune.

I bought a OnePlus 6 rn, apparently one of the devices where you can put Debian on it.

That’s why I prefer to distribute programs as .wasm files. Efficiently run code on any hardware.

Yeah I observed something similar.

Applied to a job position, got “sorry we already filled that position” back, three weeks later the job position was still listed as open.

(Yes I did fulfill the formal requirements. No I don’t think they were just nicely saying “nope”)
