- Comment on Amazon Workers Defy Dictates of Automation 2 days ago:
The amount of times the shit breaks down combined with the slower speeds means it doesn’t really matter if they work 24/7 right now.
Yes, robots are coming, but amazon has been acting like they will be here tomorrow since it’s inception.
The reality is robots that cost less than people that at least do comparable work in the same time frame is still a decade or 2 away optimistically.
Amazon trying to force it doesn’t change that.
Amazon is to robots what meta is to vr. Dumping tons of money trying to force the ‘future’ today.

I was hoping the hairpin would save Loulan (although there may still be a tiny chance it actually did)
- Comment on Amazon Workers Defy Dictates of Automation 2 days ago:
It’s such a joke. Amazon is so desperate for automation, but is too stupidly arrogant to realize the tech really isn’t there yet.
I work at a amazon facility with robots and management does everything in their power to keep me away from them because I can outwork the bots without breaking a sweat.

Let’s be fair, it was never a great face.
- Comment on Harris Yulin Gave 'Deep Space Nine' One of Its Greatest Performances 2 weeks ago:
I’d classify Garak as Military. While he isn’t a soldier per se him being a Spook (Especially a Cardie Spook) means he was directly involved in tactical ops.
Marritza by contrast was doing a decidedly civilian job (file clerk) and most likely only ever participated in combat during training.

I just rewatched that episode about a month ago. Such an amazing episode.
RIP Harris Yulin.

I think it was maybe last week or the week before there was a thread about plex enshitification and I recall a lot of downvotes to folks praising/recommending jellyfin over plex.

I’m sure there’s probably one horse somewhere who would actually enjoy skydiving, but I don’t see an ethical way to find said horse.
- Comment on No we can talk here 5 weeks ago:
Its not really stolen from Discworld. I mean I could argue it was “stolen” from Myth-adventures as much as it was “stolen” from Discworld.
Pratchett takes the piss on a lot of ‘norms’.
Yes there is a vampire temperance league and there is a side character who is a vampire who talks like that, but it’s just background pretty much.

Too greedy. They want all the money so bad they will believe any conman.

- Comment on Every phone call 1 month ago:
Every time I think about going into work.
I’m at a point in my life where I am no longer willing to put up with the corporate bullshit.
I just wanna do my job and be left alone.
Unless you’re willing to actually compensate me for it, I am no longer willing to “help”.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 1 month ago:
Yeah, I had/have problems with Jellyfin transcoding too.
Basically transcoding things that didn’t need it and wouldn’t transcode things that did need it.
- Comment on McDonald’s reports largest U.S. same-store sales decline since 2020 1 month ago:
Maybe if they didn’t charge ridiculous prices.
6 bucks for a ‘large’ fry that might contain a single potatoes worth of fries.
Sandwiches for $4 that are barely worth $2.

Just another turn of the ratchet.
- Comment on I feel like if asbestos was banned today there'd be a huge pro-asbestos movement 2 months ago:
Lol, I actually did when I smoked cigs. I can’t stand littering.
I also manage to return my cart even in shitty weather ;)
- Comment on I feel like if asbestos was banned today there'd be a huge pro-asbestos movement 2 months ago:
As a former smoker (now vaper) I understand and agree with non smokers about smoking inside.
However the people who bitch about smokers outside in public piss me off.
Yes my cigarette (now vape) is soooooo much worse than the exhaust of the thousands of cars /generators/construction equipment and so on that are constantly running all around us.
But out of sight out of mind. They can’t see all that exhaust shit so it doesn’t exist - But those fucking smokers how dare they.
- Comment on German experiment gave people a basic monthly income – the effect on their work ethic was surprising 2 months ago:
I’m gonna be real. Theres no way in hell I would continue to work fulltime.
Especially with the amount of wasted time at work when you can’t even be productive if you wanted to.
- Comment on Horses ARE Forever 2 months ago:
They do, but it’s an easy fix. Just need a poop bag that catches it as it falls.
- Comment on Is there a way to watch DS9 whole skipping the prophet & pah wraith plotline 3 months ago:
How I absolutely loathe Kai Winn. Phenomenal job by Louise Fletcher.
And Marc Alaimo is a deliciously layered Gul Dukat cake.
Probably my favorite villians in all of Trek because of the performances.

- Comment on If you are a young person you have no idea how bad everyone and everything smelled until at least the 1990s. 5 months ago:
Yeah weeds pretty much the same, the tar from the smoke sticks to everything.
I think the scent chemicals just break down faster.

Even as a smoker I hated indoor smoking.
- Comment on If we eat three meals a day, why do we poop only once? 5 months ago:
I usually have to poop 2-3 times after I wake up, the 1st time is usually a dud, then the moment I step out of the bathroom is when things loosen up and I can actually go.
Then sometimes a 3rd time after I’ve moved around a bit more getting ready.
