Outside of holiday surge, I have never waited more than 1-3 minutes in TSA precheck. Having flown in and out a lot of the last decade, it is a stupendously run airport.

I was not super precise in my remark, so I think it suffered from being misconstrued as written. My remark was strictly in the context of the Parent posts remark on Luddites prevailing or not. In the context of Luddite societies or communit

The Amish seem to be doing fine — and I don’t know if their way of life is under as much existential risk of upheaval and change as everyone else’s

Those are horrible examples. The product lines you are discussing do not exist in any meaningful sense of the term.

Municipalities where the office is located threatening higher taxation if they don’t return to office. Mostly corporations who own their buildings are impacted. A lot of people cite executive ego which I think is not entirely the case. But

Small world. I’ve run by the stoop coffee and their pancake parties in SF many weekends. Love seeing the details behind this intentional community building (:

In the context of government it would mean nationalizing them.

Which of the two classes does San Francisco’s billionaire capitalist class fit into in your analysis - “tech workers?” Equally curious which the non-working property owners fall into as well?

I had no idea this darkness existed. The unicorn riot piece is well researched; how awful - despicable all of it.

Interesting. This is such an extremely toxic post. Peer feedback is valuable, it is important, and it is expected of senior team members. I guess it is a fun game if you have a poor manager, but the whole argument around the strategy isn&#x

We aren’t talking about one flew over the cuckoos nest here. We’re talking about people walking around shoeless covered in dirt and open sores talking to themselves or screaming obscenities in public while walking into traffic. They are pub

I’ve been a proud paid user for years. The developer even accepted and swiftly implemented my feature request several years ago to support downvotes! Best app purchase I’ve ever made.

Humans are animals. Spiritual animals. As for faith, why do we all toil when, in godless philosophy, everything we do is fundamentally meaningless? Why do you persist? What is that reason, if not illogical faith in some purpose. Read Camus.
