The USSR tried that at the beginning. Lasted all of a few months.

I see you're making wild assumptions about peoples' backgrounds, including hunger, income status, and whether they've ever been fishing or not. Check your privilege.

Nope. On general curmudgeon-y principle. Get off my lawn.

Plenty. But here's the rub, most that do do not want to be seen, heard, and care very little for the internet. The life also is not simple.

Colonial any country here, nazi getmany, soviet russia, any number of african genocides, bosnian genocide... should I keep going?

Not a take, just a question for the folx to think about. Furthermore, if the only counter argument that can be made is an appeal to authority and prevailing views, or require an ad-hominem attack, then which one is the room temperature ta

Why should they stay socialist? Why should they ever be socialist in the first place, when this is the outcome? Why should nations even exist when all they do is murder people?

Russia is a fantastic example. I don't expect you to be intimately familiar with Russian politik 1990-2007, but the US is currently speedrunning the same trajectory, for instance. China is a perfect example as well. Serbia also comes t

If being racist is reasonable, then reasonableness is overrated.

One hour by train from a given major city in the US is "just" a bunch of major suburbs, or by European standards, another major city.

A lot of people live in cities because they have no frame of reference of anything else, and (at least in the US) an active fear of being more than 5 minutes away from Starbucks. I am being somewhat facetious on their preference for bad cof

NT isn't terrible with some very well designed systems, that is quite true. It is however good for a completely different list of reasons that *nix is. Trying to conflate the two is a pottering's errand.

Nope. I trust this about as far as I can throw it, and I will continue editing my own files. If I want NT, I'll just run an NT-based OS, thanks.

Only if your marker for a rational OS is NT.

A value (Top 1% in a field) times availability of jobs in field (just about 0) technically does equal a positive float, but the stark mathematic reality is that you might as well just take the 160k and blow it on lottery tickets for a rough

Yes. Night schools, extension schools, community colleges, hell, going abroad is significantly cheaper. University of Tokyo is 4-5000 dollars a year, exchange rate dependent. E: Also in your post, 40k, not 40k/year. A lot of these (dom

But the question is - is a 160k debt before you've ever held a job in your life worth it, whereas you have statistically the same outcome with a sub-60k-all-in degree?

by slackfan 3y ago
Ah, but you're paying for your children's education and not saddling them with 120k debt right out of the gate, correct?

The thing that endlessly amuses me is that there are oodles of ways to get a libarts degree without incurring student debt. Heck, you can get a passable STEM degree without incurring student debt. Or at least not paying more for a degree th

Kagi is not a product I'd use, nor do I get the hype around it. The company has apparently made a significant amount of bad business decisions. The author is a politically-obsessed weirdo who gets upset when people deny their delusions

Number of fans does not imply quality. Case in point; see any "so bad it's good" fandom. Nothing wrong with that. GP's opinion is valid.

They don't benefit everyone, and even among those who benefit, not everybody benefits equally.
