You’re absolutely correct. It’s lonely in an achingly beautiful way.

I’m still not getting it…

And Star Trek

I miss the heyday of both RuneScape and Guild Wars 1. Those were fantastic times.

Damn. I wish I could take time off just to clean my house. It needs it.

Where do you live that you can’t buy Tums? Honestly just curious.

Yeah I think he was a monk.

Good to hear they’ve had some success in the US, but I do worry about the quality of their consumer products. Too many companies can’t translate success in onr section of a market into another section.

I really want a small EV.

Right? I read your comment and was like…psh can’t be that strange, so I went into this prepared to read a few articles.

Read about a dude who lived his whole life and died without ever seeing a woman. He was in his 80’s! That’s wild.

Idk, probably just wanted a little alone time. Sometimes I need to be alone to decompress.

We pay plenty in taxes to cover healthcare already. It’s just wasted on a bloated military budget. That and lobbyists prevent any changes that would negatively impact the healthcare industry’s bottom line.

Armored Core 6, yeah it’s probably not going to end well for me.

Yeah this isn’t true. While automation has made machines more effective than humans in many cases, they haven’t made human labor less effective. Not sure why you would think that. Advances in tools and software have made every sector of the workforce more productive. There’s a million little things.

They have flattops at fast food places that cook the top and the bottom of the burger patty at the same time. So one worker can do more. Roofers have faster and lighter nail guns letting them work for longer. Hell, when I did lawn care as a teen you’d see another crew with some fancy new mower every month, and the improvements were usually worth the costs.

Not sure which I like more. I think I’ll use both.

Competition is good, especially with regards to privacy and cyber security. Customers benefit when companies don’t have a captured market. A lack of competition only leads to monopolies and stagnation.

If no one offers a secure product, then customers have no choice but to either not use anything or put up with it. Competition means that at any time a newcomer can offer a better product (that is hopefully open source).

Edit to add: Ideally you could message people on different apps with the same account. But I’ll take fragmentation over a monopoly.

That’s fantastic.

That is a good point worth considering… Though I just think he wants to shove some Fintech in there and thinks the name X is “cool”.
