  This is so great and so bad at the same time. We’re gonna have to go back to using tar and shit for things we actually want to last. That’s not going to be cheap…

  Enshitification is a consequence of legalized dumping. Companies are allowed to dump loss-making profucts and services on the market until they achieve dominance, then they squeeze the users that now have nowhere else to go. In startup-lingo this is blitzscaling followed by monetization. Our competition laws are 30 years behind the curve on this stuff.

  Worth noting that the y in “ye” is not actually a y: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_articles

  Tldr: “Ye” is pronounced identically to “the”. The “th” sound used to have its own letter.

  Depends what’s in the landfill. Anything that rots is definitely the business of the rest of the neighborhood. But if it doesn’t smell, make noise, or gets blown ower property lines, then yes, it’s none but the owner’s business.

  Now we have weight loss drugs, though. Those are apparently unbelievably effective

  This is up to you, to be frank. You have to apply to jobs, negotiate and haggle. Your current employer will never give you a raise unless you have an offer from somewhere else, and even then they often won’t out of some weird principle. You gotta do a bit of job hopping

  China is pumping up the sector. The level of competition is nuts. At the same time demand is lower than before…

  Is this like learning that the splash from your toilet bowl sprinkles a bit of water on your toothbrush? Essentially a pure infohazard that makes tour life worse with no benefit?

  Bruh. Our well had a fish living (and dying) in it for a while. The human body can handle some weird stuff.

  That’s illegal, unfortunately. Only qccredited investors can invest into private companies. There should be a lower limit on that rule, say $100 or something, so naive investors could invest play sums in potentially shady stuff. But there isn’t, so you can’t.
