Twitter isn’t lacking in disinfo, toxicity, or stupidity by any means, but I’m pretty sure it’s facilitated fewer genocides than Facebook. Between the two, I’d rather see Meta go.

It’s shocking how every time someone tries extreme libertarianism, they quickly find out that actually some rules are there for a reason. And that you may even need something like, oh I don’t know, a governing body to enforce them.

3 months of paid time off, and just in time for the holidays? Sounds like a better deal than continuing to work for this guy. I would say “unless they are in a financially precarious position,” but job security isn’t remotely a thing there anymore anyway, so

I can’t help but think that tech CEOs and VCs can’t say anything bad about Musk because they themselves have too many financial ties to him, or to what he represents. Musk is the very embodiment of Silicon Valley hype and (perceived) innovation, and if he comes crashing down, what does that mean? Especially as all these other superstar companies/leaders are having tons of their own problems (like Zuck), or have long since gone to poo poo (Theranos, WeWork, etc).

Ofecks posted:20 years ago (!) I was working at a supermarket. Part of the orientation was some informational materials that said grocery retail operates on an extremely thin profit margin, like 1% or less. Who knows how accurate that is because the chain I worked for was extremely anti-union so most of us were paid minimum wage.

When I was visiting my parents today, they had a repairman at their house to look at their malfunctioning fridge. He spent a decent amount of time ranting about how modern appliances break a lot faster than older ones. He said he regularly has to condemn fridges that are a year old or so.

When they say their sales are down 50% since 2020, I can't help but wonder how their sales looked that year vs previous years, and how sales now look compared to, say, 2018-2019. Because people bought an awful lot of home cooking crap during 2020.

3 direct denials? geez. I had to say "no I don't want this lovely offer because I don't want your service at all" like 10 times when cancelling the Sirius XM trial that came with my car. Even if their service weren't obsolete, I'd never go back on general principle. They still send me marketing stuff all the time anyway.
