Strong agreement here. For the net-contributor class, it's absolutely brutal. 1) Incomes are lower than they used to be in the US and Europe than they used to be. Lots of talk about Europe's social saftey net, but less about the l

You are not the only person; it's miserable. Let me add (3), the editor interface, possibly the most infuriatingly bad software I've had to use (for work) in the last few years. And I am routinely exposed to awful software.

For another pillar of this scary new age, look at the absolute willingness of big tech to censor anything that goes against the message of those in power.

In almost every situation like this, every principal player is an asset of some organization. An intelligence agency would be stupid not to be supporting every side of the conflict.

Honestly, for the stuff I read I totally care more about the opinion of "enthusiastic amateurs", so yeah, honey badger don't care. The more interesting part of the article is "In 2018, The Writers’ Union of Canada found

Dams are incredibly damaging. By contrast, every time we have a nuclear disaster, the no-go zone becomes a wildlife paradise.

I think the reason it hasn't hit consumers more is because most consumers cannot afford assets. The best analogy I can make is Ecuador, which although one of the poorest countries in SA has very high prices on average. It was explained

So much bullshit. Penises are literally the favorite thing of many men across human history to draw, in all shapes and sizes, any preferably the most public location. It was even a plot point of a major movie a few years ago.

Executive Outcomes returned this last year, IIRC. They pulled off some extremely crazy thing in Indonesia a long time ago, and still have access to top talent.

Absolutely. 5th generation warfare, motherfucker. The Russians are the world's undisputed masters of this, so it's time we paramilitarize back. Also, time to fuck Russia, hard. Putin's parkinsons won't come soon enough,

For the first time in my life I've seen private security in my neighborhood. We're in one of the poorer areas of the city (ie $1-2.5m houses), so perhaps people cannot afford to leave? I've always thought security on demand w

Idaho has become very expensive in the last few years. It's basically Western Wyoming, but for poors.

Unfortunately that doesn't work for those of us that need to run compute intensive tasks, like browsing the web, or compiling stuff, or running docker. There's this stupid dream that the computer needs to be light and fanless and

Wouldn't it be faster to crash a few of comet/icy moon/etc into the atmosphere? Then a decade later put big nuclear powered magnets in orbit to generate a magenetosphere so the new atmosphere won't evaporate after a hund

Much of the US infrastructure is complete shit. Sure, it's not Somalia, but the fact we are even having the comparison is ridiculous. We do have rolling blackout on occasion. We do have non potable water on occasion. We have completely

The article doesn't say it of course, but the big question is what happens when the government keeps the dole, at least past midterm elections? There's tremendous automation happening right now, and it'll accelerate, to the p

I'm going to disagree the wealthy care very much. This is a giant political can which we are basically kicking down the road. The problem is middle class America has their entire net worth in the property, and it must appreciate. If th

You should become Wanksy, but for advertisements. "Rate My Add, with totally coincidental Poo on it". Maybe there's a market for YTMND with split screen ads, poo or whatever and music for us to mock all these brands with.

It is a supply shortage. Get out and talk to a carpenter or a general contractor. Sawmills closed, surviving ones have less capacity due to health precautions, and then demand exploded.

Yeah, German reinforced concrete structures like those and the flak towers are basically gonna last longer than the pyramids. They are the honey badger of architecture.

You do realize small ducted fans are an order of magnitude louder than a helicopter, right? All those slick marketing videos omit that part.
