  • It is a terrible employer strategy that all but guarantees you will have a high turnover rate as people use their off hours to find better paying work.

    It also ensures any public you have to face will consistently be interacting with a work force that could not give any less of a fuck, because you are literally not paying them enough to.

    The only conceivable way this is a good business strategy is if you are either a short term seeking nepo baby, get all your business advice from one, or are yourself a complete and utter drooling moron who has never once taken even a beginner's course in proper employee retention.

    Do. Not. Do. This.

  • Older than 9/11, but not by enough to remember much more than the stories about going balls to the walls on acting assimilated to the country I was living in so we wouldn't stand out as Americans because the consulate was worried some locals might try taking hostages to support the terrorists.

  • I'm just praying people will fucking quit it with the worries that we're about to get SKYNET or HAL when binary computing would inherently be incapable of recreating the fast pattern recognition required to replicate or outpace human intelligence.

    Moore's law is about similar computing power, which is a measure of hardware performance, not of the software you can run on it.

  • Because you can't kill every human. Human civilization has advanced to the point that it is capable of surviving basically anything short of everything all at once.

    So with that in mind, literally any ideology of "just let it all collapse", no matter how much the shithead insists they hate everyone equally, is a fascist wish for death upon the disfortuned and socially ostracized.

    Being bad at math and insisting on a completely impossible "what I'mactually aiming for!" does not insulate you from being a racist shitbag for wanting a scenario which will inevitably cause the disproportionate slaughter of the underprivileged.

    Not even the Thanos Snap escapes this, the tack on impacts will naturally hit the disfortuned and socially ostracized hardest, making it a lot less "random" as the big purple antman pocket insists it would be.

  • Because they don't, letting people die for mother nature and whatever will inherently impact not white not rich people far more.

    Just letting shit collapse is a position that inherently comes from a place of knowing you'll probably be fine when the dust settles, no matter how many bodies were needed to cushion the landing.

    It's basically an even more heinous version of the sarcastic "I hate everyone equally" response to being called out for being a racist dick.

  • I've played rescue ranger a couple of times, legit one incident I intervened in was some poor bastard running for their life across the entirety of Liurnia Lake while the invader was leading an angry mob of enemies chasing them

    Night and Flame got a workout that day, lemme tell y'all.

  • DungeonCast School vs Gygax School.

    One comes from the influence of tabletop streams that focus on narrative building because it's got a broader audience appeal and they're usually close friends with the players at the table and want to hype up their characters.

    The other comes from the generational trauma Gary Gygax inflicted on nerdom by insisting that the DM wins by killing all the PCs.

  • For real, IIRC CPR instructors will sometimes tell students that the ambulance medics would rather have broken ribs on their hands than oxygen starvation in the brain.

    It's actually why so many medical professionals rant about families who cancel DNRs, because the elderly are especially likely to suffer injury during CPR.

  • Tbf most scarcity in this production era is artificial scarcity.

    Housing crisis for example. There's more unoccupied units than unhoused people total, not even unhoused family units, unhoused people.

    A property tax structure which disincentivizes holding unoccupied property would cause housing prices to plummet.

  • Ok tbf, the only thing the french hate more than everyone else is other french people.

    After Kraut's vid on the rise of Prussia I'm not entirely sure the great rivalry wasn't mostly just because the French caught wind that Bismarck had a bureaucratic staff of refugee French on the payroll.

  • On the one hand I believe that as a global power, most countries actually have stakes in US politics.

    On the other hand, I hear one more "Cheeseburgers per school shooting instead of metric" joke, and I'm gonna go full Jane Doe with a Market Gardner and air strike over it.
