  • Stock market as a whole is…okay I guess. These one-off, bulletproof companies are silly. It’s almost a religion and the people who hold the stock truly believe that Tesla is going to make automatic cars that will drive everyone while also making autonomous robots that will do everyone’s laundry and the current problems are nothing compared to the beliefs in the future. The value will hold until it doesn’t (eg, they finally need the money for today’s bills in a recession that cost them their jobs), and then the value will plummet to something that actually looks normal for the sales they are making at this time.

    Until they need their money, they have the unshakable belief they will all be millionaires as soon as Tesla comes out with the world changing techs and has no competition. Should be any day now. Or maybe in 2 weeks.





  • I think the idea is, most people could build a doghouse with no training, but you need planning and education to plan/build a skyscraper. If you want to write your own app at home, maybe no software planning is really required. Keep nailing in workarounds. But if you want to build a huge system, you need to do a bit more than workarounds. You need a good plan from the start to make it all efficient and in a manner others can contribute to the code base.

    That said, I feel like just having workarounds is really common even in large industry settings. Maybe I’m wrong though. I’m more of a home doghouse builder type myself.



  • I liked my experience on the flight simulator. Got good at flying the little Cessna around. Take off, landing, I problems at all. Decided on a new challenge. Did the landing challenge they offer. They instantly throw you into a landing random plane. It was an airliner. I tried. I fell right out of the sky way before the runway lol.

    It’s just the same meme you have always seen, saying the same thing it always says. If you haven’t seen the meme before, you won’t know what it says. Everyone is just having fun “translating” what they have already memorized (meme-orized?).








  • This is such a touchy subject I find it difficult to articulate what society actually needs. We need a system where PEDOPHILES are able to receive the mental health they need before they become MOLESTERS.

    But any time you say something about helping someone who is attracted to children the knee jerk reaction is always like “kill them. What you don’t want them dead? Are YOU a pedophile?” And I end up unable to convince them that helping them to not molest children by treating their mental health condition will actually help children not be molested. I really feel like this reactionary public opinion is causing people to go underground and is actually causing more children to be harmed.



  • I thought season 1 was okay. Weird Perrin had a wife… don’t know how that will play out later. Did they use matches at the beginning? I guess that plot is gone but it was minor enough I guess. Additional romance stuff was typical to gain a broader audience I suppose. Overall I was relatively happy. Much better than Sword of Truth’s show adaptation.

    Didn’t know season 2 had started, is it further from the books?
