I repair stuff and eat things.

Its amazing how many people I know that were highly COVID cautious now have gone completely the other way. Won't even test if sick.

Isn't there a middle ground? Its not even a political thing. Its a inconvenience thing.

Seems so disrespectful of others. "I recovered and am fine so therefore, who cares about anyone else". Welp, I am one that still is suffering after affects so thanks in advance!

Worker productivity at all time highs yet inflation adjusted wages are largely flat.

Executive compensation at all time highs yet where is their productivity graph? Its essentially the same graph. They made their people work more for the same price so thus they get rewarded with millions.

A worker saves their company millions and they are told its just their job and the expectation.

If prompt engineer is a thing.... then what exactly is AI gaining us? Its no different than just introducing another programming language.

How have humans been able to prompt other humans without requiring an "engineering" background?

Religion and politics are two different expressions of the same thing. Culture.

One seeks to coerce cultural morality through guilt and tradition, the other seeks to coerce cultural conformance through legal means.

A religious person calling you a sinner is just religious speak for a criminal nonconformer.

That said, culture and politics aren't inherently bad but are often exploited to enlarge a given monoculture.

Absolutely not true. Automation and computers have already eliminated certain jobs. New jobs will spring up. The amount of cognitive load each generation will have will go up, not down. Once a tech is a commodity, it doesn't provide differentiating value and just becomes a new barrier. This is either incredibly ignorant of history or an egregious lie.

Its possible to be incredibly smart and a terrible person at the same time.

Does being incredibly smart excuse/forgive/overlook the latter?

“Potential changes to the frequency and/or severity of weather-related catastrophic losses pose a risk in both the short and long term,” Nationwide wrote in its survey response. “Activity has been observed in recent years that has differed from historical norms or modeled expectations.”

But climate change isn't real...

“We’re in the business of pricing to risk,” Matt Mayrl, vice president of strategy, performance and partnerships at American Family Insurance, said in an interview. “Sometimes your price can’t match your risk.”

Forcing unproductive employees into the office will not correct your bad hiring decisions.
Turns out the game controller was the most engineered and validated part of the whole thing.
