Not being dismissive, but if 1 kid in 30 doesn’t smoke, but 29 do, that doesn’t make smoking any less dangerous.

The article was about social media rotting kids brains and devices being the path to that rotten apple…so remove the path. The other comment made the comparison that tobacco use doesn’t work in small bites either. You made the successful l

Everybody who worked writing code in the 70s-90s is smirking at “wait over a second”. Back in the day, I used to go get my coffee, shoot the shit in the break room for a few minute, and come back to find my debug runs just starting.

> that sounds like a ridiculous comparison So you assume social media is required for a successful life? I bet there were people that would have argued in the ‘50s and ‘60s that the social aspect of smoking was helpful to having a succe

Meh. People have been griping about Google/Alphabet and its interaction, cooperation, and business with various problematic governments for over a decade. If you are sensitive to those sorts of things you shouldn’t work for a giant

I think I read once that Sam Walton used to roam around KMart and other discount stores with a tape recorder noting prices. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

I don’t buy this argument…especially any speculation about it making it worse. I certainly don’t accept this notion that we “probably shouldn't scam bait and just let some people get monetarily victimized because some other person hal

I think Tesla’s problems really boil down to two things: Anyone who really wants a Tesla has probably bought one already. …And… Almost everyone without an EV, but wants to buy one, probably will not buy a Tesla.

> I would say, between the two, allowing someone to lose money is a better outcome than making it likely that someone will be beaten while being imprisoned against their will. That is tactical thinking as opposed to strategic thinking.

There is way too much joy, pleasure, and pride in the grift that I have seen in the Kitboga, Pierogi, and Jim Browning videos for me to worry or care too much about these folks being victims themselves. My bet is those folks are there by

I think you have to take scale into account with these things. A person with a $100 giving $10 is like buying someone breakfast. In a way it’s just so small an amount that its dismissive and not really perceptible as “a waste” A person wi

You still haven’t addressed the greater point. Instead you are fixating on the accuracy of least important number in the point the original commenters post. I suspect it’s because it’s the only one you can pick at. The point being can th

Ok putting the fever dream aside, even at 3.7 people per household the 1963 to 2024 numbers as it relates to income vs cost of living is pretty eye opening. You are not really disproving the general point by getting fussy over the numbers.

Do you think corporations are right wing now? That is definitely not my perspective…especially with all the DEI and ESG focus. Seems to me that corporate politics are definitely moving leftward.
