Enter the matrix [Safely Endangered]
  • It was a reference to what agent Smith said in the movie.

    But also yea, it seems like standard of living peaked around that time where everything was affordable (in North America at least), people weren't addicted to their tech and still generally had a third place. Politicians also didn't lean as much into rhetoric.

  • So glad for Trump
  • Yup, unfortunately people don't understand that policies only change the equilibrium, but sometimes take longer than electoral cycles to see effect.

    That's why no party really gives a shit about bringing down the national debt, because twofold:

    • people hate you in your term because that's less money being spent for their benefit now
    • the opposition can have more spending room to provide more benefits in their term, making them more popular.
  • South Korea could follow North into Russia-Ukraine war
  • I remember there was a tournament where a SK player was so sure/disrespectful he could beat a CN player at SC, that he only used his feet on the keyboard and was eating a banana at the same time. And he still ended up winning lmao

  • Amazon cloud boss says employees unhappy with 5-day office mandate can leave
  • Nobody is saying what they are doing is illegal. And complaining is what people do to vent, you don't have to read it.

    It's seems par the course for Amazon to just treat employees as disposable, and they've burned so many regions' working populations' proverbial bridges that I recall LTT highlighting an article saying Amazon can't find people to employ because they've already cycled through everyone.

    Anecdotally, I'm suddenly getting recruiters from AWS asking to interview me, and it all makes sense now. They want to replace the remote workers with new people who don't complain. Fuck that, and fuck them if they think people should be apathetic to this strategy.

  • Fears over crackdown on speech as US, Canada blacklist pro-Palestinian Samidoun
  • They captured it on video.

    Freedom of speech and burning the flag is one thing: offensive sure but that's the point of free speech. But you cross the line when you commit to incendiary CTAs like that, you are causing harm.

    Funny thing is this was uttered by some woke-ass white lady Charlotte Kates who you know would be one of the first people targetted if Hamas was ever in power where she lived.
