I hope so. However, I think the world they are going to become adults in is going to be harder for them than previous generations.

I hate working from home. I find that I can’t get into the headspace to work while at home. I find coordination is a pain in the ass and you get to better understand what is going on by physically being there.

It is also frustrating dealing with people who say they are “doing their work” but you find out that they didn’t coordinate like they said they would and the two things they designed don’t interact with each other.

This is a continuation of Xi solidifying control over the government, which is a break from the post-Mao CCP in having power more diffused across different people. It is likely that the corruption allegations are correct, but bribing officials to win government contracts are pretty par for the course for people in those positions.

I disagree.

If we are talking about starting companies, poor people start companies all the time. You don’t need to be rich to start a company.

As for having access to capital to create our expand a business, that doesn’t need to come from a rich person or a collection of rich people. For instance, a lot of investment comes from pension funds, which are made up of the savings of many people.

They shut down third party apps. Here’s good enough I guess.

3D printing has found its niche in being able to create custom plastic models at a cost far lower than injection molding. That’s been big for RPG and wargaming as a way to create better boards at an acceptable cost. I’ve also seen some toys sold that are obviously 3D prints, which shows the technology’s viability as a part of a commercial production line. These are use cases where 3D printing is the best option available, so the technology gets used.

I don’t see that equivalent for consumer scale VR/AR. The state of the industry for VR tech seems be to sell rented experiences where the VR tech is integrated into an experience with other equipment or defined spaces. Thats an equivalent to when computer games were rented in arcades.

I think that you always run into the issue that you look like an idiot using it and you need to do something special to use it.

Perpetual motion is only believed by people who took basic level physics and think they can trick the equations they were given.

The problem is that a tablet ends up just being a cheap computer, but Android requires a lot more involvement of OEM’s to update compared to Windows.

It is recent, but

There’s no joy in my life There’s no joy when I’m right I know what they say when I walk in the light There’s no joy

Rosebud?

And do what, exactly?

If you are self preparing, all that is happening is that you are creating a stockpile for a group of raiders to sack.

The groups that will succeed the most are going to be tight knit small towns with an armory and the ability to be self sufficient for most essentials.

If you don’t have a group to plan a strategy around now, you’re just LARPing.

Storage units are great at generating revenue with little labor cost. You can run a giant multi story complex with a single person on site.

And compared to Birdemic, it is bad in a good way.

I mean, you shouldn’t piss on hospitality like that.

They had to build the main set twice because of a hurricane.

It’s amazing how many people like Trump and his entourage. After all, they’re fucking immature assholes.

I have a bachelor’s degree and technical master’s degree in the field I’m working in. The master’s degree has been useful in my line of work. I wouldn’t get a doctorate in my field because I don’t want to do research, even if it would be cool crashing trucks into barriers.

Kind of conflicted?

I’m fine with the idea of exchange of money for sexual services. I don’t have any moral qualms with that practice.

My concern is that, even in some legal structures, it tends to encourage the preditation of some sex workers for the benefits of others exploiting people’s sexual labor.

Was it ever easy?
