  • … any discrepancies in the use of “year” as a 4 digit number vs a 5 digit number, are entirely a display issue (front end).

    That’s exactly how I read the meme. It would still require a change.

    Whether that is displayed to you correctly or not, doesn’t matter in the slightest. The machine will function even if you see some weird shit,

    I’m not sure if this is some nihilistic stuff, or you really think this. Of course nothing actually matters. The program will still work even if the time is uint32 instead of uint64. The machine of course will still work as well. Shit, your life will go on. The earth continues to spin and this will for sure not cause the heat death of the universe. But aside from actual crashes and some functionality bugs, UI issues should be the ones you worry about the most. If your users are a bank and they need to date the contracts, and you only offer 3 digits for the year? I think you’ll agree with me that if users don’t like using your program, it’s a useless program.

    if I’m understanding you correctly, what you’re saying is this man has a billion dollars in assets but he needs them to do his work which is beneficial for people.

    I’m not sure this is really the correct description of the situation. I’m not trying to be pedantic, but the fact that his company is valued at 1 billion doesn’t mean the assets are worth 1 billion.

    People have assigned this value to the company based on assets, yes, and on the workforce and etc. But they are also assigning value to the company based on what direction they think the company will be lead. Ask yourself this - if their CEO is a genius who has proven time and again that he can make magic happen with very little worth of value, wouldn’t you invest in him? Wouldn’t you say his company, while maybe poor and shit today, will probably be worth a billion dollars soon thanks to its leadership?

    Two issues come from this, both that I don’t think you account for - because you argue for workers owning the company in a co-op-like situation, or the CEO selling assets the company doesn’t need in order to put that billion to good use:

    1. If the CEO starts dumping stock - so will everyone else. Selling stock means you don’t think the company is that valuable. If you don’t trust it, why should I? The company’s price would tank, and so would any potential it has

    2. If workers are the decision makers, not the genius CEO that everyone trusts to lead - guess how much I’m investing in a company ran by faceless dudes that I don’t trust. Exactly $0. You make this company a co-op and you guarantee the main attraction about it is no longer attractive. And at that point if I’m the CEO I’m out anyway - you obviously don’t trust my leadership enough to let me run the company, why would I ever want to stay? But good luck competing against the face of rockets with your cute little co-op that gets no funding and can’t pay it’s employees.

    My point is - you want to reap the benefits of capitalism and investments in the stock market, while living in a socialist utopia where your actions on the market don’t have consequences. I’m not sure that’ll work.



  • But you see, that’s the whole thing about “omg retail workers have it so hard” people. The only way to satisfy them is to never shop again. Retail is hard because customers exist. Otherwise it would be “do nothing, get paid”. And these people don’t actually give a shit if a business can survive on them doing nothing, because they’re more focused on getting rid of those pesky customers that make their life oh so hard.

    Yeah, retail is annoying. You know what else is annoying? Transporting garbage from location A to location B. Searching for 3 days in your own code to find a bug that’s making you look like a dipshit to your boss and team. Roofing in the summer. Dealing with having lost your clients millions of dollars because stock X plummeted and you didn’t foresee it. Being on an oil rig in the Atlantic for 9 months a year. Cleaning a hoarder’s apartment. Getting shot at in Ukraine. Masturbating prize horses for the $emen. Looking all day at people’s ugly stinky feet. They’re all called jobs and people do them because they are literally a fucking part of our daily lives and the way we function and have a productive society. You’re free to fuck off and farm wheat if you only wanna eat bread for the rest of your life, and you don’t have to interact with anyone. For the rest of people who have evolved past a trade-based society, real life is that way (☞ಠ_ಠ )☞

    But no, tell me again what a bad day you’ve had cause Timmy took 12 free samples. Jesus fucking christ, the balls on some cunts.


  • If you’re not aware that Germany and USSR were dividing Europe between themselves and both were just as evil until one of them stabbed the other in the back, you don’t know your own country’s history. Maybe look into the ribbentrop-molotov pact and how while you were busy fighting England and France, the USSR not only did nothing - they were just as evil, but hiding behind the great German threat. Look into the Katyn massacre, where the NKVD executed thousands of polish prisoners of war in the Katyn forest. Look into how they invaded the Baltic countries and deported/killed ~150000 thousand Lithuanians, Latvians and Estonians while international attention was still focused on Germany. Look into how they invaded and annexed Bessarabia and northern Bukovina also ignored because everyone was up in arms about Germany. They were hand-in-hand with Nazi Germany, and the only reason they fought back was because they were attacked by Hitler. Ironically - because IT WAS THE FUCKING RUSSIANS who broke the agreement and annexed more than they had agreed with the nazis, by setting foot into Bukovina. I’m not even gonna get into how I know they went around raping everyone in sight. But you’re out here spouting shit like you have any fucking idea what world you live in. What a fucking joke.

    You say it’s racist to acknowledge a country has a history of war crimes that goes on to this day. I say it’s fucking stupid not to. And if you choose to ignore it and instead for some reason bring racism into the equation, you can go get fucked for all I care. You have literally no clue what you’re talking about, and I’m done debating war crimes with armchair scientists who have the luxury of a history of being the aggressor, not the agressed.

    About 100 years ago, russians were considered a backwards, horde of uncivilized asian/mongols in Europe.

    About 100 years ago Europe had just faced Russian raping and pillaging in a world War, and they’d soon face it again in the next war. For all intents and purposes, they were a backward horde of uncivilized fucks.

    But hey, they are sure proving they’re different nowadays, with them raping their way through another war.

    Signs at stores are ads. Email is spam and ads. Menu is ads. Post online is ads. Street signs are ads.

    Instruction, caption with answer to question and group handouts aren’t ads, but I had ads fatigue from the rest of the shit you’ve been trying to cram down my neck, so go fuck yourselves and your written words.


  • What a crock of shit. Living with the knowledge that you killed someone isn’t shortsighted, it’s tragic. You pulling the trigger to switch the trolley to kill only the 1 person can and will have consequences on your own mental health.

    And the comic isn’t even about the choice between action and inaction, it’s about “Oh wow, 5>1, this dilemma is easy lol” - nah, even if you make it purely about the numbers - unless you’re a fucking psychopath, you’re not gonna kill your newborn to save 5 strangers.
