I wonder how much of the US problems stemmed from unionized labor pushing against extreme automation (dark factory).

There’s no doubt companies got complacent but I imagine foreign manufacturers are abliged contractually bound to employee American folks in their plants.

What is a union supposed to do when your entire industry is in a “adopt (by accepting automation) or die” situation?

I’m all for worker protection and rights but how else do you compete in this landscape?

I’m not the person you have been responding to but thank you for the resources, I’ll be checking them out as well.

I appreciate the sentiment that tomorrow will come and that as long as there’s the will-power to live and the ecosystem that we will be ‘alright’. But …

The message sits wrong with me…Because as someone who hasn’t been treated for far too long, it bit me in the most unexpected time. Mostly everything else was okay, professionally I was doing great (even throughout troubling times) but socially I was stunted as a high schooler. I had to put myself aside to get to a stable situation. Work and study for work was basically my life.

I slept on my problems and eventually forgot all about them. And now that I want to make social bonds, I can see how much of a mess I really am.

Ignorance was truly blissful.

But Gavin… While the country was under stay-at-home and isolate orders during COVID, you hosted a party.

I use the website and it always automatically downvotes the 3/4th post.

I’m Asian. If I do anything well in life it’s because of privilege not because I worked 2 jobs while attending community college schooling and doing nothing else for myself other than to be at a better place. My effort feels completely and utterly dismissed by some of these people. They refuse to acknowledge my effort at all and instead they keep trying to dig deeper to find reasons why I’m “privileged”.

With almost no inheritance tax… No. We have to deal with their spawns.

Wow… This count have happened in the 2010’s with the anti-gaming feminist and conservative movement at the time.

If only they knew to go after payment processors instead of identity groups.

My laptop refuses to stay asleep if fstab disks were disconnected prior to sleeping. It works perfectly fine for me now that I figured that out.

Just one more weird behavior with fstab and kde or Linux or arch? I don’t know who to blame.

No a real act or terror is burning empty cybertrucks.

How many went kaboom before this?

No it definitely is in progress. Nandert on YouTube keeps somewhat frequent updates on the status of measure M initiatives.

They just opened the LAX rail line like last week.

Stop spreading BS. Thx

N-n-no. I don’t have an add-ad-adiction.

20th time trying to learn blender but caught up learning CAD/CAM instead.

You can download the HTML version which does have links…but it’s barebones with no styling. Who reads documents as html??

#3 for me. Keeps my handwriting just a little bit more legible.

#4 doesn’t work for my writing style it seems. I end up wearing large flats on the lead anyways.

But first… Halo theme song

Let’s see… Can we draw circles in a convenient manner yet?

Bored people can now tune into (source of entertainment) instead of learning.

I don’t think the capacity for intelligence has dropped significantly, rather we as a society dedicate our time differently.

I wonder what the wife thinks.
