Croquette,

Then vote third party, and keep complaining that Biden didn’t do enough if Trump gets elected again.

What else do you want? Your system is rigged against progressives. The electoral college gives more weight to smaller states, which are predominantly Republicans.

That’s fucked up, but people have to vote in a few months. So you either vote for someone that enables the genocide, someone that will make the genocide worse and a third party which will effectively do nothing.

Croquette,

Because it will encroach into everything if we let it be.

There’s always a dumdum like you saying “it doesn’t affect you, so why do you care?”.

Because the company implanting the chip killed a good amount of monkeys for their tests. They’re an unethical company.

Because Elon Musk is a fucking piece of shit and he is clearly disregarding the laws if it makes him money.

Because private, for-profit companies cannot be trusted to not fuck over everyone if it makes them a cent more.

Croquette,

The issue is not the tech, it’s how it is developed and tested, and the terrible track record of the mega corpos.

Just like AI, the tech itself is great, but corpos turn it into a pile of shit for the money.

It won’t be different this time around with daddy Musk.

Croquette,

Yeah because it’s either a socipath billionaire or a dusty garage hobbyist. Nothing in between.

At the very least, the garage hobbyist has more chance to be a more ethical person.

Croquette,

Here’s an idea, maybe stop killing animal for medical testing?

Other companies doing the same shit isn’t any better. But with Neuralink, they said that no monkey were killed during their trials, which is false. So it makes it even worst.

Croquette,

You leave your baby in a safe place, usually their bed. They will survive the time you pipe down.

Croquette,

It isn’t worth me being a dumbfuck misidentifying a mushroom and dying painfully.

I’ll keep buying them.

Judge slams Quebec youth protection after Inuk teen placed in 64 different foster homes (www.cbc.ca)

A Quebec court judge has issued a scathing decision identifying major long-standing problems in youth protection services for Inuit children in Quebec’s North, in a case where a teenage girl was sent to 64 different foster homes in less than 10 years....

Croquette,

Slam is the best we can do. It feels good without doing anything.

Croquette,

Trial by fire. I like that. I hope you had a decent solder tip haha.

Croquette,

Ticketmaster is an easy target. Apple, Amazon, Microsoft ,Google should have been cut to pieces years ago, yet here we are.

These companies have more revenue than some countries, this is mental and shouldn’t happen.

So yeah, I get the cynicism.

Croquette,

I’m glad they go after them, but I fear that they will use them as a scapegoat and do jackshit to other monopolies

Croquette,

It can be if you want

Croquette,

That’s a crock of shit argument. Yes a few percentage will live off that, but the vast majority of people don’t want to be in the position where they need government money to survive.

Croquette,

Which is bullshit. If you got the grades and paid your tuition, a university should not be able to withhold your degree. They can ban you from the graduation ceremony, but that’s it.

It is crazy that a university hold such power over someone.

Croquette,

You already have a skillset that you can transform into something else, and you seems to have a lot of money stowed away, so you can take a risk to transform that skillset. Push come to shove, you can simply go back to your current domain.

But transforming a skillset is indeed hard.

Croquette,

This is weird because in my region, this is the first time in, I don’t know how many years, that hardware roles are more in demand than firmware roles.

I guess it’s a new cycle of product development that started this year.

Croquette,

I understand the feeling. Are you tired of the field overall or just the hardware part of it?

I did QA for 5 years, which I’m grateful for but sucks a bunch. I tried to do pure software dev, it’s not for me. Then I came back to firmware, but since I wasn’t in the game for almost 7 years, I had to re-learn and live with the imposter syndrome for a while. I kinda kept coding during these years, but I had to convince others I could code.

Not sure where I am going with this. I understand how you feel, and I hope you’ll find something that is better for you.

Feeling stuck is not fun.

Croquette,

The double tax argument is dumb because the money you’ve put in is not taxed, thus the capital gain.

So there is no double tax because only the portion that wasn’t taxed is.

Croquette,

I agree with you. I would rather see the money back in the community instead of making rich people richer.

At one point in the US history, the highest marginal tax rate was 90%. It makes sense. If you don’t want to get taxed, just recirculate the money.

But at one point, the rich captured the politicians and different state machines and lowered their tax, created a bunch of loopholes, and just fucked everyone over.

So I’m for a wealth tax. And one fucking thing that should change is that a cash loan backed by assets should be taxed as income.

Croquette,

Gamechanger has more soundbites than Um actually.

He’s good in both of them, but for marketing purposes, I prefer Gamechanger/ Make some noise

Croquette,

When there is a well documented case of violence, the cops sit on their asses and do jackshit.

When it’s time to shoot people in the back though, they have a thousand reasons.

To serve and protect my balls.

Zelensky: 'Our partners fear that Russia will lose this war' (kyivindependent.com)

President Volodymyr Zelensky believes that Ukraine’s partners “are afraid of Russia losing the war” and would like Kyiv “to win in such a way that Russia does not lose,” Zelensky said in a meeting with journalists attended by the Kyiv Independent....

Croquette,

The minute a NATO member put boots on the ground, it’s a bigger can of worms that is opened.

Croquette,

Or swing the nuclear dick, make everyone nervous and make them swing their nuclear dicks as well.

The point still stand, if a NATO member engages fights in Ukraine, the outcome is not predictable and it escalates the conflict.

It’s never a war in a vacuum with only two sides.

Croquette,

The issue is that billionaire owners use tax money to build a new 500 millions stadium and then keep the profit. Fuck that, the government should take the revenue in proportion to what they paid in.

You would see the fucking parasites take out their wallet fucking fast.

The government could take that money instead and finance good quality sport facilities for the community instead.

Croquette,

You are overthinking it. This is just a premise to setup the joke that an engineer deals with approximation while the other two give up because they’ll never reach 0.

It could be a bowl of ice cream for all that matters, but people like corny jokes, so that’s it.
