I was going to say, "furry porn," but then I realized that you're essentially just looking at the modern version of a pagan animal worship cult (of personality?) with some of those artists. You'd be surprised what gooner

I break out Black Power Revolutionary Jar Jar Binks whenever possible. I'm sad that whatever went on with McGruder and the media gatekeepers prevented him from Schultzing it up through to the present day. We need him.

I don't know the history. That would be the source of my discontent. Every time things like this come up, the hyperfocus on Western experience erases whatever insight could have been gained by looking at the topic in its totality. My g

Not to come down on either side, but I am begging commenters to refrain from using a Eurocentric lens when discussing a technology that wasn't even invented in Europe.

The generations of microwave after the first few were fantastic. They did what they were supposed to and lasted decades. Once that reputation was solidified, manufacturers began cutting corners, leaving us with the junk of today. The same t

Growing up, we had collected volumes of Calvin and Hobbes, Garfield, and The Boondocks. Surprisingly good bedfellows. Covered the bases, so to speak.

Per seat. And it's not $50 more thane baseline, it's $250. The $200 may have been justifiable where the $250 is not.

They have a track record of cornering a market and abusing their position, and also still somehow not being able to balance expenses and revenues to turn a profit that pleases shareholders. You get to decide if that's a problem with th

Of course there are places like that now; if you're an American, you're living in one. "Consumer choice" didn't save us, because everyone made the same choices and all of the corporations behind those choices merged

I'm assuming Altman wasn't screwing his CFO and letting her post to 4chan about it, so probably not that bad.

No? That's a 25% expense increase. You just ate the margins on my product/service, and then some.

They're "massively profitable" because they're laying off large portions of a major cost center - labor - and backloading uncoming data center construction costs. As those come due, and labor needs rise again, that profi

I see the logic here, but I have reservations. My perspective: today, maybe, with so many consumers already angry at or distrustful of Google. In the early 2010s, when "Google" was a verb and "Don't be evil" was sti

Productivity has outpaced population growth for some time, and the largest obstacle to the full-fledged social stability that would guarantee ubiquitous "food on the table" (at least, in the West) are people like you, who advocate

I'd wager (heh) a bit of both. The distinction isn't that the affluent neighborhood gets to make its own decisions or be cared about by large corporations whose presence ostensibly enhances their quality of life, it's that po

The web is bloated. Costs have exploded because what used to be done in a few megabytes now takes hundreds. You COULD host much of the modern web for much, much less, but you'd actually have to get your webdev house in order.

The way out is mostly antitrust and regulation of the private data market. But too many portfolios depend on the status quo; the way will be opened once the AI bubble pops. The Chrome lawsuit was the jab before an AdX haymaker is thrown jus

The town where you can see the banana prices on the shelves, if not online, and where there's a collective refusal to pay (perhaps through an organizer payer) if the price is too high.

Oh, well that's BS. Urgent care clinics have proliferated like crazy over the post decade or so. The supply to fill the vast majority of urgent medical needs which hospital ERs used to have to carry alone is there. But it's true t
