I like huge anime titties more than this guy, but I have the decency not to advertise the fact to my neighbors.

I don’t know the meaning, either. Temba, his arms wide?

I could do without the leather. But that sounds amazing.

Agreed. With the added bonus that we have too live in the system while we burn it down. I’m not a huge fan of the idea, but then, I’m a maintainer by nature.

I have nifty tech, yes, but I also have vaccination deniers, Nazis, and my fourth “once in a lifetime” economic crises. I’m never going to buy a house. I’m never going to retire. I’ll probably never even pay off my student loans.

I personally think that, largely speaking, if imports are cheaper than local production, that’s a good thing!

I’m hardly an economist, right? But I agree with you, broadly speaking. But first covid, and now Trump round two is showing is the weakness of global integration. As long as everything goes smoothly, it’s jam for everyone. But let something screw up the logistics, or someone duck up the balance of trade, and everything can go to shit really fast. There are lots of things we can’t make here, but we rely on them. That is less than ideal.

I don’t know that tariffs are the way to address that issue, or even if it needs to be addressed at all. O do know that the way Trump is doing it is all wrong.

I saw a smart flip phone once. Small smart screen on the outside, small smart screen on the inside, and a keypad that you could use to type with, using the forgotten skill.

I would love one of those.

And now they are gonna get away with this, too.

I’d go with “deshittification,” myself. It’s not important how or why they are shit, just that they are, and the laws in question prevent us from fixing it.

The airport tried that shit on me today. I was able to make it print me a boarding pass, though.

I’m becoming a luddite in my middle age.

I think that’s a feature, not a bug.

I cannot express it as a single word, but I’ve become quite attached to “cause no unnecessary harm.”

I’m old enough to remember them promising, repeatedly, that the nude scanners didn’t, couldn’t save images.

Joke’s on them though. They can’t delete my pictures fast enough to avoid the trauma.

If there was a viable non-genocide candidate, o wolf have voted for him.

Most of us are not getting richer, nor working shorter hours, nor living better than our parents. We’re past “services” and on into “parasites.”

In principal, tariffs can prop up domestic industry that is having trouble competing with cheaper imported products. In practice, this winds up being really complicated, because the world is a lot more interdependent than it was 80 years ago.

Just like he was counting on China you need us more than we need them.

I really hate people who are constitutionally unable to negotiate in good faith.

I prefer the real Enterprise.

And explained that he was using AI to do a part of the job that needs to be done by humans, because it helps them figure is the solution.

AI slop can be bad but this Bradley doesn’t understand that businesses exist to make money.

This is generally done by making a quality product, not a pile of shit.

You can get awry with selling people shit, if you charge shit prices. But the kind of assholes described in the article are gonna try to sell shit at AAA prices. Then they are gonna blame their team for not AIing hard enough.

Looked to me like an attempt to pull off an in-line bulleted list.
