Nation-states were a stupid idea to begin with

I think it has more to do with maintaining a manufacturing base for defense than it is about jobs or the economy.

I was a teenager who wanted to be a 1337 haxxor so I found out what warez were, and then wanted to play a bunch of games for free.

The Kinks are better than The Beatles

They’re boosting their sign up numbers by putting porn behind it. I bet it’s not even that racy, they just know that humans are motivated by something potentially titillating

I remember those days. Except back then you had the added challenge of finding space for it on your 1.2GB hard drive

I’ve worked for a couple startups and you’re absolutely right. If you make a profit you pay taxes on that money, so startups like to spend most of the money they bring in. They also want to show revenue growth, since that’s what investors like to see. You grow revenue by getting more paying customers. And you do that by doing what your customers want.

When you go public, your goal is to increase shareholder value. So you do this by reducing costs and finding ways to wring customers out of revenue. You find ways to nickle and dime customers out of revenue so much you develop an entire branch of law devoted to you suing your customers

Get back to me when it figures out The Question.

If black people had gone back to traditional religions after emancipation I imagine the Reconstruction would have been even more filled with racist violence. Assimilating into the dominant culture is a survival strategy.

This reminds me of the shift in the car market when Japanese cars entered the market after the Oil Crisis. American auto makers, used to building unreliable land yachts, couldn’t adapt fast enough. Now we have American car makers building electric land yachts that people can’t afford, and are threatened by cheaper foreign cars.

Monkey’s Paw: You are also paused. You cannot move to unpause. You are trapped in your own consciousness forever, as is everyone else.

But would we remember between quicksaves? Would other people? If my boss quicksaves before our meetings and then I quicksave and honestly tell him what I think about this job, whose quicksave would take precedence?

I heard somewhere that the reason people want flying cars is the same reason they wanted flying horses.
