Everybody looking forward to this man's departure don't realize what joy the great state of Kentucky has waiting in the wings. As bad as he is, he's actually put a stop to some of the MAGA world's worst nonsense. I'm not entirely confident that crazy is better than evil.

LinkedIn is feeling like abandonware.

Neither of those words really need to be in quotes.

Amazing the amount of grief you get for wanting the same thing everyone else does but not being willing to believe every single report that you're finally going to get it.

The whiny bitches to whom you refer clearly do not appreciate your analysis.

There has almost certainly already been a chilling effect from similar laws in Florida. Teachers cannot take chances: If they are fired for cause, they often have to move to another state to remain employable in their profession.

It was "Stable", but money losing. Now it's unstable but money losing.

Of course they will lose users. They will lose the users that would otherwise get them sued. Pretty sure they are okay with the trade-off.

Long term, yes, great for the planet. But shorter term, a shrinking pool of working aged adults are going to have to care for a growing pool of elderly. Additionally, the overall economy is going to contact before the age cohort imbalance takes care of itself. Same thing is happening across most of the developed world, but it's happening faster in China, and they're less developed to start with.

When was this? When did people who need to devote their life to a craft long enough to get good at not want, even need, to be paid for it? There have always been hobbyists, and maybe that's all you want, but there has never been a time when musicians would not have preferred to be supported by their passion, rather than the job they had to do in order to keep eating.

So, because they don't pay artists enough, you shouldn't pay them at all?

I've got the karma to spare so I'll be clear about it. I'm not going to say you have to pay for music. That's between you and the people you want to keep making music for you. You can fly the black flag all you want, and it does make you something of a rebel, but it does not make you any kind of hero.

That's an interesting principled stance. How should musicians provide for their familes?

Go home, Joe. You're drunk.

I have never before encountered someone who used the word "bourgeoisie" unironically. So cute! Now say something about the proletariat and the means of production!

This is utter nonsense. If the US was a dictatorship, I wouldn't be scared to death of the upcoming elections.

Not a fan of the a republican party or their anti-abortion agenda, but I gotta agree that a constitutional amendment should require more than a bare majority. How else can the rights of the minority be protected?

What's that? It's on somebody's property. Someone is paying for power, connectivity, and air conditioning.

You know that account you set up 6 years ago and used only as a verification email for a site you almost never go to? Won't you be surprised next time you need to reset your password.

It hides the true cost of the meal and allows both the employee and the employer to avoid taxes on this part of the "salary"

I'm conflicted. These direct sales prohibitions are naked efforts to protect a market segment nobody likes. But, on the other hand, Elon.
