Humans are emotional creatures. We’re stupid that way. It’s faster to just go with feelings and accurate enough that it must have been a pro survival trait.

But it’s stupid. It’s destroying the world because people follow their emotions into conservative policies.

They’re not trying to make a good product. They’re trying to get their short term gains.

Normal capitalist bullshit where a handful of people (who probably don’t even do any work) make decisions and keep almost all the profits.

Occasionally. It’s frustrating that most free porn sites are kind of bad at search and filter. You’d think a tagging system would be easy to implement but most sites seem to just have a barely functional search.

The majority of the time you just click play in steam, heroic, or whatever. It’s no worse than windows.

I don’t do any tinkering on my desktop.

I didn’t say they were a Nazi. And I thought you might be trolling because " A lot of people display swastikas with no intention of referring to Nazis." sounds risible.

Not sure if trolling, but: I feel like people show know relevant, recent, history.

Workday also gets mad if your resume has “special characters” in it, like quotation marks. Why they can’t sanitize input themselves, I don’t know. Presumably incompetence.

This is a joke, right?

Right. Traffic enforcement that’s “random” is fundamentally unjust. But conservatives like it because they can bully the out-groups, and some assholes like it because it brings money in via fines.

Many companies use workday for the job application process, which wants an account. Workday is a steaming pile of garbage.

You seem to have imagined a link between

This has to end, nobody is worth that much. Even if they were, they shouldn’t have that much, because nobody needs that much.

And

Billionaires are a symptom of a society that is sick.

as if they were trying to say that the people in the articles are billionaires. That’s illusionary. There’s a full stop.

This

will never be reasonable that some people make hundreds of times what other make on a full time job.

Was the point. That some are only millionaires is irrelevant. Billionaire is a subtype of “too rich” used as an example.

No fundamental facts are in error.

Billionaires are a subcategory of people with too much money.

But also what’s your point here? Just pedentry? Defending CEO wealth at this 614:1 ratio? Defending billionaires right to exist?

The initial goal post was “This has to end, nobody is worth that much.”, referring to CEOs making 614 times more than workers. Their wealth being in billions or millions was not mentioned. The goal post was not moved.

The sequence as I understand it is

• no one needs that much money
• billionaires have more than that much money. They don’t need it.
• you: none of the ceos are billionaires
• me: fine, but they still don’t need that much money.

If anything, you pointing out that the CEOs aren’t billionaires is a distraction from the point.

Anyone who looks at their phone while driving should lose their phone, vehicle, and license.

You can live a comfortable life with $5 million in the bank. No one needs $17m a year.

I accept that she wasn’t referencing the historical meaning on purpose. She likely wasn’t a classic Nazi trying to dog whistle. However, not recognizing the phrase is concerning. Especially given the current rise of Nazi-compatible ideology in power.

At my old job, there was some back and forth about some feature detail. The product lady messaged me and said “do you have a few minutes to talk about the final solution?”

I was like, “uhh you mean the sorting filter on the projects page? Yes, so long as we don’t call it the final solution”

I don’t know if she knows that phrase already has a history

This lead me asking a bunch of coworkers if they knew. About half were familiar.

not because it wasn’t true, but because people would get offended.

I have a hypothesis that as society we’re too polite. We don’t tell people they’re being assholes because that’s uncomfortable, so they continue being assholes without appropriate social pressure.

At the lowest level, it is possible to pull people in your peer-group out of shitty world views. It’s slow and difficult. But like I got an old coworker to be way less homophobic through our chats at work.

At the larger level, nah, fuck em.
