Yup. Herd mentality. If you’re not part of the herd, you’re a valid target for reinforcing the herd’s stances.

Finally! I found the name for what I’ve been thinking of. Thank you!

Yeah! I think liquid democracy is practical with today’s technology, especially if it is encrypted correctly with verification and privacy in mind.

(Not OP) Dabble in everything and create dozens of unfinished projects, which fits well into most corporate software strategies.

“It’s for the safety of the consumer.” is such a bullshit excuse to strongarm people into a subscription model.

We have a deployed branch. It doesn’t get merged into master until it gets reviewed… the technical debt got too big so it never gets reviewed and we just keep branching off deployed

I’ll have the most life changing apifany apiphany, hold on, I gotta Google spell-check this.

According to a 2023 study, a day on Earth was approximately 19 hours for a significant part of Earth’s early history…

When you first learn about the appointment or event. Immediately put it in your calendar and set multiple reminders. Top priority. If you can’t do it then, add it anytime something reminds you of the event (if that ever happens).

It’s pretty much the only way I can remember appointments and events that aren’t too important. Of course, if it is important, that is all I’ll think about until the event, completely forgetting all other events until my reminder pops up.

I remember everytime they mow the lawn at 7:00 AM

Non-democratic/psudo-democratic socialism/communism: “You’re paying for this service whether you want it or not. There is no motivation to make a quality product.”

Democratic socialism/communism: “Well, only 60% of you care about this enough to vote. We’ll put some funds into it, but definitely not what it needs. And oh dang, everyone hates it now, guess we’ll defund it.”

Edit: I’m not disagreeing with OP. Capitalism sucks too. Socialism and Communism *can* suck. It depends on the governing body. There are good examples of all three economic systems working and bad examples of all three screwing people over. I’m anarchist and believe good systems will eventually fall to corrupt politicians if safeguards are not in place to prevent it, and there’s a bunch of sneaky intentional and unintentional loopholes to sneak in power grabs.

The saying I heard was “Don’t argue with an idiot. They’ll drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”

Realistically, it’s more like my Focus breaks down.

AI trains using AI generated articles on repeat. Have you seen what happens to a YouTube video when you download and reupload a video over and over again?

Not gonna play the “carry all the groceries in one trip” game greater than 100 yards (1 football field (514 bananas))

Also, the newer massive trucks that are so high they blind anyone lower than them regardless of how properly it’s configured.
