on the theory that the science of contemporary politics is maximally trolling the other side, i would point out that Hunter is not so old.

@admitsWrongIfProven it’s the imagined people shrieking at you that makes writing text so psychologically difficult, yes.

My sister #AdelleWaldman did an audio piece about her experience in part time retail. I can't claim, perhaps, to be entirely unbiased, but I think it's great. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/21/opinion/low-wage-workers.html

as a psychological matter, writing software is so much easier than writing text.

the debunking of the op was itself an op, for which a counter-op is already underway.

which isolates a person more from the people immediately around them?

the people who are indifferent to your presence will be indifferent to your absence.

"upper class people, broadly defined, do not simply get married. Rather, they get married to other upper class people. People like Wilcox, Kearney, and Douthat do not, in fact, marry the kinds of people they are imploring others to marry! The elites, in general, have made it very clear that they personally do not find these individuals to be marriageable." #MattBruenig https://mattbruenig.com/2024/02/21/brad-wilcoxs-wife/

In the US, the worst people are suing to get our new super-right-wing Supreme Court to declare the National Labor Relations Board unconstitutional.

Finland has its worst people too, apparently. Something analogous is being tried. Hopefully Finland's strong and vigilant labor movement will ensure their worst people do not succeed.

if you have a dependency with version 0.0.3 and a new version 0.0.4 appears, do you consider it a patch version suitable for automatic or near automatic upgrade, or kind of a major version since it's a bump in the first non-zero digit?

if you use automated tools to keep dependencies current, how do they handle cases like this?

“taxes are used to incentivize behaviors that are good for the nation and discourage behaviors that are destructive to the nation. This is where Reaganomics has not only screwed average American working people but screwed American business — particularly small and medium-sized businesses — as well.” @ThomHartmann https://hartmannreport.com/p/why-the-corporate-tax-bracket-should-467

in the contemporary economy, either the walls are closing in on you, or you have joined one of the walls.

@inkican 🙂

a jury of your peers is a jury of peeers.

there can be a strange symmetry between referring to people as nazis and referring to people as vermin.

“Part-time work can also be a means of control. Because employers have total discretion over hours, they can use reduced schedules to punish employees who complain or seem likely to unionize — even though workers can’t legally be fired for union-related activity — while more pliant workers are rewarded with better schedules.”

My sister #AdelleWaldman has a great op-ed in The New York Times today. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/19/opinion/part-time-workers-usa.html?unlocked_article_code=1.Wk0.v6s_.9JWuaBzNIRdr&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

much nobler than the fight is creating the conditions for or helping to sustain the conditions of an imperfectly but largely just peace.

our consummation left us unconsumed, and then we were unsure how to continue to live.
