  • You know, right before lockdown I was hanging out with a friend and I said something to the effect of 'eh, I do feel like people are overreacting a bit but at least this should normalize mask wearing when you're sick like in parts of Asia.'

    Right now I have a very similar feeling hunch of 'at least this should kill the myth that republican presidents are better for the economy' and I can't wait for the american people to once again show me just how stupid they are.

  • Even if you expected some tariffs the degree and arbitrariness have exceeded almost every expectation. Charitably you could have assumed he meant he would implement tariffs in a way that makes some kind of sense, you know, warning well in advance so businesses can actually plan for them.

    It's kind of amazing the market hasn't dropped even more now that the administration has revealed that it has no guard rails guiding Trump's dementia fueled decisions and that he doesn't give a fuck about wall street at all.

  • It's bitcoin, the only thing it's disrupting is the pyramid scheme space. It's too volatile, too expensive(transaction fees), and too slow to be a useful currency. There is no reason for the government to buy in to a speculation bubble.

  • I can't ask them to delete my data because I forgot the fake birthday I used for the fake name and they keep asking for it for "security". Alas. If in 5-10 years I'm living in a country that allows genetic discrimination either openly or through lack of enforcement I feel like I have bigger problems to worry about.

    I'm more annoyed that forgetting that date also means I can't download my data so I can't use 3rd party analysis tools.

  • I keep clicking on the profile link when I see an astonishingly stupid take expecting it to be someone from the most recent reddit migration wave and I can't believe how often I'm wrong. How haven't we bullied the racist dipshits off the platform even after a year+

  • Every now and then a little devil on my shoulder says "you should set up a cluster computer that serves a secondary function as a smart space heater" and it's gonna be really hard to ignore if the deals are good enough.

  • Or the person calculating their withholding was. But if you're paycheck to paycheck then that paycheck amount is all that really matters. Cool, I get a bigger refund eventually, but I'm now choosing between eating, walking 2 hours to work to save gas, or letting a bill go unpaid.

  • I certainly remember when lenovo pushed a keyboard firmware update so bad that it physically damaged a part on thousands of legion laptops and then refused to own up to it. Fuckers. Never again.

    *ok I half remembered, I don't actually know that a part was physically damaged but the only permanent fix involves soldering so close enough
