Hinestly, my interpretstion was always more that you “became more conservative” because a normal functioning society became more progressive.

Like, and please do not read too much into this example, its just used as an exaggerated example.

At one point, society became more open to interacial couples, but some had trouble adjusting so they were the conservatives.

Then society became more accepting of gay people, and those same people who pushef interacial couples became the “new conservatives”.

Then society became more open to trans people, and some of those older gay people became the “new conservatives”.

And in theory, the older trans accepting peolple become the “new conservstives” because of some new fangles thing for the kids, AI partners maybe.

And then the AI partner people become the “nee conservatives” because their kids are all into scewing aliens or something.

And on and on and on.

What anouy a vibrating sharpener? Then you can have mamy easily sharpened blades?

But but, Microsoft bad!!!

100+?

WTF amature hour nonsense is this?

Here is the thing they really shouldnrealize though.

Most smallncities are close enough to large cities. Especially for how much of theb"exciting stuff" you end up actually doing. And you get a massive sabings in Cost of Living.

Like I am in the middle of Illinois. My COL is superlow. If I want to go to a concert, I can easily hit Chicago, St Louis, or Indianapolis in a 3 hour drive, get a hotel if I need to, and still be out ahead because my rent/mortgage isn’t some rediculous 2000/month+.

Also, at the risk of sounding like some.boomer, I feel like too many young people have overly huge expectations on jobs. They come out of college thinking they are going to land a 100k/year+ job instantly. Like, hey, you are probably going to have to start with that 30k/ywar job. Sorry, that is life.

Also, just Teams me the question and I will answer it and move on. I really do not want to talk.

My worst case wasn’t even my piracy.

At my previous job (like 15+ years ago now), the owner asked me to fix his daughter’s laptop.

So I went about doing that.

And stupidly, I connected it to the network, and within minutrs, people were complaining the network was down.

The laptop was apparently blasting out so much spam, the ISP blacklisted us and blocked us.

Also modern piracy: “Don’t even try to use our private tracker system,”

You just have to memorize the coins

Plus they are not even logically ordered by size or anything.

They said the US. Ao mathing is hard.

I am.in the US, taxes come out of the paycheck before its paid.

On my check, before Inget it it pays

Taxes

Social security

401k

Health insurance premium

Dental insurance premium

Union dues

I think a few other small misc things.

I was just referring to the sun in a non technical way.

Yes, but why waste time and effort with a stopgap like Nuclear when we can just go to wind and solar that we already have the tech for?

Bonus, the more its used, the more we learn, the better it gets for efficiency and ability to manufacture.

Why have all safety measures when half do and we save money for shareholders!

What if we put the nuclear reactor up in space, really far away, then used devices of some kind of revieve the energy it transmits to us via low level radiation?

The work around is to get Jason Statham to live out his Beekeeper role IRL.

I basically never watch Youtube, its kind of cancer and Google is a spyware company.

And this isn’t about race, its about a country cleaning up its own act. I feel basically the same way about Russia, for example. There isn’t an online servixe or system that sould not drasticly improve if Russians were blocked from the larger web. Its basically a factory for misinformation and assholes.

The real sollution is to lock India off the internet until they crack down on all their scammers.

I have to add Politico and telegraph to my DNS blocklost now don’t I…

People don’t seem to understand how accurate the bottom statement is aside from like 2 or 3 highly specialized things (Doctors, Lawyers, Teachers (maybe).
