This has affected me my whole life. It doesn't matter which bookstore or the type of books it specializes in as long as I'm interested. My earliest memories of this phenomena are at comic shops as a kid. I noticed it in record sto

Why do I hate Typescript so much? It's syntax despite compiling into another language is hacky and often obtuse. It provides multiple escape hatches that defeat the main point of the language. And primarily when pitched to me the whole

The most expensive taco bell listed is my local taco bell. It's closed and has been replaced with a dumpling restaurant that is also expensive and not very good.

I feel that the crux of this is that we have created fetch quests that signify experience and now we're automating those quests to reap the reward of the signified experience. Sadly, the damage of creating the poor signifier is done an

I live in an affluent area and my daughter works in food service. She says the people she knows to be wealthy are generally the worst tippers (often 0%). I have stuck with 15% even though that is below the suggestions on receipts these days

I think shuttered businesses are fine. If they can't provide services that are worth the wage of employees they're just dragging the economy like a parasite. I think we're too quick to blame regulations for business failures.

Naw it's fine... Just pay them $2/hr. They can make up the difference with tips. Also, they should have to share with the other congressmen/women evenly.

Why do we want to be anonymous? I think if we look at it closely it is for self-centered reasons. We want the video platform but we don't want the ads to know who we are so we don't have to deal with spam (IE pay for the platform

What worries me is as soon as we accept AI results with no fact checking (or ignore it) they will become the means to directly manipulate people without any recourse for judgement about veracity. Like phishing emails with perfect spelling a

Totally. If the movement was called geometrizism or edge-ist would we have this discussion? No one likes to be brutalized but we want to have an edge. I have a Pinterest board full of brutalist architecture. I love it.

There can be no Art where profit is concerned. The original Fords were all black and people who didn't like it still bought it. We're moving back to this in all markets all the time thanks to the lack of monopolistic regulation. N

Keep in mind all workers are paying premiums too. Socialized costs aren't only governmental. The point here is this is not punitive in a way that would lead the company to behave differently. None of this will matter in a few years as

Apply this to the "n slur" as my generation z daughter calls it. It starts as a soundwave or collection of letters but later it becomes a mental strata that justifications are hung on. Curious if the AI hype-machine will be able t

100% this. I think the reason we see these people homeless in the US is due to the myth of the self-sufficiency. That if you can't succeed or fit in it's because you are deficient in some way. It makes it hard to ask for help and
