hiddengoat,

"Wait, you mean you're going to take away my phone so you'll have no idea where I am, ever, you stupid fucking dink? Yeah, that's fucking brilliant. Shut up and make me a pie."

hiddengoat,

Fucking any of them. Seriously. It doesn't really matter. Eventually you'll come to the realization that until you're talking about oddball shit designed for one douchebag's personal proclivities it's all the same shit under the hood. They just have fourteen incompatible package managers because, again, douchebag personal proclivities.

hiddengoat,

The last time I handled a ferret it latched itself onto my ear like a piece of jewelry and would not let go. It just hung there like it belonged. After I finally pried its jaw loose it scurried up one of my sleeves and could not be extracted. I had to take off my coat and remove the little bastard from the other end. While I was putting it back in its cage it was constantly gnawing on my hands.

And no blood was shed. 10/10, would be violently molested by hairy murdertube again.

hiddengoat,

Rossman is an idiot, that's how. Luckily he's a useful idiot in most cases.

hiddengoat,

Your avatar is not ironic, is it?

Will human societies always enshittify themselves?

It seems society always goes down the shitter over and over following the same path. People rise to wealth and power extracted on the repression of the masses, massive disparity, ignorance exemplified, xenophobia and blaming minorities for any possible issue, laws signed with golden pens but becoming more meaningless when...

hiddengoat,

It's not a billionaire problem. It's a SOCIOPATH problem. The kind of people that come up with terms like "human capital" aren't the ones sitting on the board of directors or in the C-suite. They're the "consultant" types whose entire job consists of selling other people their opinions. Take for example Irving Fisher, who is credited with the term "human capital." Know what else he was into? Motherfucking eugenics, because of course he was.

That's the real problem, and it's one that exists across every socioeconomic class. The asshole will always win because everyone just wants to shuffle them off to be Someone Else's Problem. Eventually said asshole will attain a position well above their actual capacity for value and their lack of mental acuity will appeal to similarly ill-tempered douchebags, creating a cultlike following.

Figure out how to solve the sociopath problem.

The billionaire problem is easy. Bring back the 90% margin and add another 99% one to those earning over, say, a billion in a year.

This, of course, for a given value of "easy."

hiddengoat,

Not QUITE as useless as "just install Linux" but damn you got close.

hiddengoat,

By being smart enough to get their OS packaged with new retail PCs in the 90's while the market for them was just warming up. They kept their stranglehold going by not caring too hard about piracy. Just enough to keep from losing any trademark considerations.

hiddengoat,

It's absolutely trivial to cook meals vegan or vegetarian and simply add meat separately at the end, or not add it at all. What you're describing is just piss-poor meal planning and has nothing to do with the cost of vegetables.

Or you were just buying every prepackaged bit of vegan food in the store.

hiddengoat,

And yet somehow guys like this exist.

Also 30% of India.

Also you're full of shit and know nothing.

hiddengoat,

Yes, now that someone pointed it out to you.

hiddengoat,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetarianism_by_country

About 30% are vegetarian in India. Almost 10% are vegan.

So it's very prevalent, but America likes to pretend we're the only country in the world and that problems are never solved anywhere else.

hiddengoat,

Try India.

hiddengoat,

American food mentality.

hiddengoat,

Holy shit, there are still dinks out there that are trying to make "USian" a thing? I thought all of you nad-nudgers died of with kuro5hin.

hiddengoat,

Which is utterly fucking irrelevant to the idiot-tier statement that somehow vegans/vegetarians don't get enough protein.

Only absolute morons who tie their entire identity to eating meat think that, usually losers that hang out in the comments sections of YouTube channels with names like "Carnivoracious" or "BeardMeat" or "Beardivore" or "MeatyBeardMan." "I eat meat, I have beard, this is my personality, I have nine pounds of undigested meat in my colon and I haven't shit in a week."

hiddengoat,

https://vegan.com/health/protein/

"Diet For a Small Planet, however, unfortunately helped create a persistent myth that vegetarians and vegans faced severe challenges when it comes to getting enough protein. Over the next few decades, multiple studies coupled with the lack of vegans dropping dead from acute protein deficiency extinguished that hysteria."

It takes like .2 seconds to verify if your sincerely held religious belief is utter nonsense or not.

Maybe that's why so few people bother learning.

hiddengoat,

Yeah, basically every knife is BIFL if you learn to sharpen them.
