Honestly, as a sane person yes I do like honest Nazis more than lying Nazis. But do you know what I like more than honest Nazis? People who aren’t a Nazi, I like those way the fuck more than honest Nazis which apparently puts us in the minority in this shit hole of a county

I find it unfair to blame my peers for things largly out of their control. If you are born into an abusive family you’ll only ever know if you happen to luck into the information that such behavior is unhealthy. Is it some of their faults? Certainly, I know people who are willfully stupid and refuse to learn but even knowing these people I feel pretty uncomfortable blaming them for it. I’ve talked to them, I’ve educated them on stuff they were willfully ignorant of and do you know what it generally boils down to? School has taught them that learning things is hard and a waste of their time. They’d rather waste hours trying to get an LLM to generate a script for them than sit down and figure out how to do it despite knowing I’d happily help them.

School has managed to taint “learning” in the minds of many of my peers to such an extent that it should be avoided at any cost. School has failed us, is still failing the current generation and nothing is going to be done about it because it’s working as it’s meant to. This is the intended outcome. Like genuinely the scale of the fuckup is to the extent that enjoying reading is not just rare but seen as weird. We’ve managed to take one of the best ways to educate yourself and instill dread in our children when it’s brought up. How do we expect people who’ve been taught to hate reading to just magically turn around and unfuck themselves? What’d they see a really motivating Tik Tok or some shit? I despise that platform but like seriously you older people just don’t it man. Been complaing since middle school and now people wanna turn around and blame us as if it’s some personal failing it’s fucked up dude. Our education sucks, has sucked and will continue to suck even worse until we stop pretending like this is some kind of personal failing.

The main point here (which I think is valid despite my status as a not in this group Gen Z) is that we’re still like really young? I’m 20 dude, it’s just not my or my friends fault that school failed us. The fact it failed us was by design and despite my own and others complaints it’s continued to fail the next generation and alpha is already, very clearly struggling. I really just don’t think there’s much ground to argue about how Gen Z by and large should somehow know better. The whole point of the public education system is to ensure we well educate our children, it’s simply not my or any child’s fault that school is failing to do so. Now that I’m an adult I can, and I do push for improved education but clearly people like me don’t have our priorities straight seeing who got elected…

There is also that sure but biologically people want to have kids, the extreme cost of living experienced by many prevents them from having kids

I’m sorry you incorrectly believe conservatives are a political party

At no point did I say Republicans

If we stop electing conservatives yes

Philanthropy is ineffective, that’s our current system and it’s not working

Bro that’s crazy has it crossed your mind that I don’t want to be rich? Put me in that position and I’d be paying for ads and shit to get the government to tax people like me more.

Your not gonna catch me on any of that “Oh so you think wealthy people shouldn’t exist” bs either btw. In a vacuum I think people should be able to make a lot of money from stuff they do but billionaires shouldn’t exist full stop. The amount of good you can do with merely one billion dollars is genuinely kind of inconceivable and we have multiple multi-billionaires, and not anywhere close to enough good being done by them. They simply shouldn’t exist. They’ll be just as happy being multimillionaires though I’d quite like taxes to dramatically ramp up once your in the 10 millions, even that is far above where middle class is meant to be.

Yes yes someday all the money will trickle down on me and it’ll be my turn to be rich and then I’ll get angry when my “all” my wealth is taken away from me and I’m just well off. They might as well murder me at that point I mean sheesh

If you have more money than you could spend in a lifetime yes, you should be robbed at gunpoint to feed family’s.

Actual new battery tech? I didn’t see the capacity listed/compared to a normal lith-ion of the same volume but it does say they have some issues with voltage. I’m not sure how annoying that actually is (not super good with electricity) but this looks rather promising. Might see smart watches and similar devices without any flat hard surfaces using these combined with flexable screen tech. Course like always this stuff is extremely reliant on the capacity being workable, if it’s too much less than the equivalent in lith-ion it’s just not going to get used.

The media wouldn’t be able to, nobody would be there to write the story

Coool so we’re really truly committed to this route then okay. Is the only way out of this to try and get everybody to ban together and stop going to work until every last one of these evil fucks are removed from power? I can’t even be sure the judge is actually okay with this seeing how willing and blatant this administration is with corruption.

I wonder why they waited until just after the first quarter. Hmmmmm…

Yeah I thought we already knew this? He’s literally talked about how you have to beat your girlfriends when they don’t respect you and nasty shit like that.

Whoops, meant flags

It’s actually so bad lol. Idk what Microsoft has against - for args flags but it’s fuckn annoying

Stores have a obscene loss rate from workers damaging product, forgetting to scan it out, it simply coming broken and other such “Just business” costs. Theft is seriously just not a problem. I work at a Fred Myers and awhile back we locked up our soap isle and whatever. Know what we do now? We leave that shit unlocked because it’s stupid and a waste of people’s time to have to go and open it up. Know what else we did? We installed a new system for the carts which is supposed to prevent theft (if you don’t go through self checkout or a register one of the wheels locks up when you try to leave). I has been believe 3 months now. It’s either still not actually been activated or people who steel stuff don’t use carts… weird. And my final thing is how just completely irrelevant even pretty significant numbers are in the grand scheme of things. I know for a fact we’ve had 10k worth of stuff get yoinked. Good chunk of money, no debating that however how much of an impact does that actually make on the store? A single department makes more than that in a day in profit. If that doesn’t immediately seem possible that’s only 100 people spending $100 each (assuming 100% profits for simplicity). That’s like an hour ish if two registers are open and self checkout is closed.

TLDR theft (at least for the big stores) is completely irrelevant, it’s such a small slice of the pie compared to other losses.
