  • I would greatly prefer public sector development. I'm just being fatalistic about how our oligarchy conducts itself.

  • I like democracy, but I don't like our short-sighted (4-8 year) election-campaign-based governing. But between our public and private sectors I know we can meet this challenge and make this happen.

  • Man, I wish we (Canada) were that ambitious. I know lemmy hates Elon Musk but I really admire his ambition in technical pursuits. I'm not saying we need more Elon Musks, but we should pursue more grand projects.

  • All my jobs have been paycheck-to-paycheck until about 3 years ago. My last job allowed me to save up $24k, but then I lost my job. Now I'm down to $7k and getting worried.

  • Hey, a Norm MacDonald reference!

  • So let Microsoft pay to restart it.

    I guess it the government gives them the loan then the gov't gets interest payments, which must help inflation over time. Assuming that they make those payments...

  • I never took him at his word.

  • How is gender and race at all relevant for this joke?

    The story itself isn't a joke. The linkedin salesman guy wrote a stupid story about an unrealistically obnoxious rich guy who trips over his own racism.

    How is that picture appropriate for a professional networking site?

    Maybe he's targeting people who look like that. The [guy who is rude to my target demographic] is quietly pwned by [my target demographic] (Now they will buy my product).

    Also, what did the dude google to find that picture?

    Ask him? His name is on the image.

  • Word is now so bloated that I fear using it. It's nice to have Wordpad.

  • But what about their freedom to cheat me out of my money and content?

    1. Good!
    2. I'm never buying a vehicle that can be remotely shut down.
  • I rarely play the stories anyway. I just like driving around, doing jumps, and having the cops chase me.

  • Stop slot shaming!

  • First Trump's idiots will do something stupid. Then Kamala will overreact and do something stupid which infringes on all our freedoms, like extra spying and cracking down on speech and curtailing the right to protest.
