My Harvest renewal was going to be a 1,400% increase. I just cancelled the service yesterday after 20 years. While I was clicking through the "Yes, I am sure" buttons, it got down to a mere 300% increase. I wouldn't pay that

I thought it was 1-2 billion dollars.... Are we just sticking with 2 billion now? Do I hear 3? Anybody?

The road to authoritarianism is apparently paved with people telling me I'm overreacting. This classification, just like every other action taken by this administration, is a means to inflict damage on their ever-expanding list of ene

1-2 billion dollars? Over 2 weeks across 20 states? That's horrible. January 6th damage was estimated at $2.7 billion dollars by the GAO. That riot (more of an attempted coup) actually was coordinated by actual, tangible right wing e

I eagerly await more AI slop that references studies that have never existed. Or, as this administration calls it, "science."

Rational arguments? You're relying on a cognitively impaired, narcissistic criminal to come to his senses? Even if he does, there is damage here that will not be undone. We need to stop treating this monster like a wayward child.

What does "globalist" mean again? Please explain that to me so I can understand.

Yeah. It would go to fund education. Sure. Funding education is totally on brand for modern conservatives.

They "didn't do anything" in the same way that a mob boss saying that someone should be "dealt with" didn't mean for that someone to be murdered.

Do those people ever get tired of all of that pearl-clutching? Being a modern conservative seems exhausting, what with all the faux outrage and constantly shifting fundamental beliefs.

I guess that's better than defending pedophiles, deporting US citizens, and then complaining about literally everything all the time.

As Cicero said, "We are slaves of the law so that we may be free." I'm not being sarcastic or anything here. Accepting a few limitations on the theoretical extents of my personal freedom so that I can exist and not worry abou

I believe if it's flown with the intent of deceiving the enemy then it's classified as a war crime. In this instance, it would appear that the Russians were attempting to at least create confusion for Ukranian forces. Does this qu

I've seen values estimated at between $150,000 to $200,000 for that trinket. That's actually a pretty solid bribe for most politicians and that's just what's been visible to the public. For comparison, in AZ we had legis

I completely agree with you. All the best jobs I've had have come from personal relationships.

I wouldn't say that I'm arguing in bad faith so much as recognizing yet another situation like this: https://www.readtpa.com/p/innuendo-studios-card-says-moops-s... Let's look at "rich flight"

Sure... what is more likely to occur is that the physical libraries are closed and then replaced with *poof* nothing. There might be the promise of free home internet, but , darnit, the folks in charge just couldn't do that in a way

You make over $500k annually and you can't afford a house? I call shenanigans. Your pearl clutching about government waste seemed weird to me until I read your links. Manhattan Institute? You're citing positions from right-wing th

I would absolutely agree that ChatGPT access loses out to physiological and safety needs by more than a little bit. Now that I think about it, I'm not quite sure where to put cost-effective LLM access in Maslow's Hierarchy of Need

I think you should try holding Trump to the same standard to which you hold Biden. Just as an intellectual exercise. If you're truly honest about doing that, you should wind up being disgusted 24x7.

That's not an unfair assessment, but I would pose additional questions: Why does doing the morally sound thing always have to be easier, better, and cheaper than ruining the world and creating human misery? Why must the morally superio

Absolutely not. I feel terrible for people coming out of school with CS degrees right now. Life is already difficult for young people right now and 6 figures of college debt is just putting another obstacle in their path. For what it's

I umderstand where the author is coming from, but it saddens me that doing the actual work of maintaining software is frowned upon. I would guess that whatever senior pumped those software dependencies into the codebase without a care towar
