Nothing bad ever happens under the umbrella of communism.
- Comment on Where are all the successful "red cities"? 2 weeks ago:
I guess. I still think there’s a difference between DFW and, say, the Twin Cities. You won’t catch me living in Texas.
- Comment on Where are all the successful "red cities"? 2 weeks ago:
But still, the cities on the list are all cities in red states. That’s weird.
- Comment on Where are all the successful "red cities"? 2 weeks ago:
Hmm. That’s an interesting theory.

No need to bring libertarians into this.
- Comment on Where are all the successful "red cities"? 2 weeks ago:
Right here. Scroll down for the list of cities most people are moving to. They’re all red. (Or, charitably, blueish spots surrounded by red.)
People must be moving there for some kind of reason. There’s jobs. They’re safe. They have stuff to do. Some kind of reason.
- Comment on Do we dream smaller now than we did decades ago? 2 weeks ago:
But OP asked about “decades ago”. What if humanity was actually making progress in the 20th century, becoming better, and now we’re backsliding to where we were during gladiator times?
- Comment on Makes sense to me 2 weeks ago:
When I’m in a male dominated space and a woman joins, I feel myself over-compensating in trying to be welcoming to the woman. I want to be the “good guy”. I sort of feel like I should make that effort. But also I’d rather just get on with it and not have to think about it.

We use expensive vendor software at work that uses bitnami images in their Helm chart. I hope they know about this.

Callback to Room 641A maybe?
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Something that always gets me, in my own thinking, is where the line is between “as a people they don’t want to be contacted” and “the individuals who live there don’t want to be contacted”.
Obviously we owe some respect/boundaries to a foreign society in its collective.
But when other societies are committing genocide we don’t (or shouldn’t) simply ask that country’s representatives whether it’s okay for us to stop them.

If you literally replaced the firmware, what else could possibly be phoning home?
- Comment on Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing? 8 months ago:
I don’t know how remotes work, physically, but they gotta send some sort of code to the TV. If your TV’s OS can intercept that message it can choose its own response mapped to whatever you want to happen. Something akin to remapping keys in your keyboard.
I would assume, anyway. I could be wrong.

That sounds, uh, fun.
- Comment on Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing? 8 months ago:
I was thinking that if somebody knows how to do that, they probably also have an opinion on which brands of TV are better or worse for it.
I don’t own a TV right now but plan to in the future.

- Comment on Is it okay to take drugs to make yourself a better person? Does it make a difference if "better" is mental or if it's physical? 9 months ago:
If no, it’s not okay to take drugs to make yourself better, then why would you let your doctor prescribe you meds? I wouldn’t want to take meds for no reason. (Or worse, meds that make me worse off.)

Does heroin make a person better?

ADHD drugs improve people’s ability to focus and concentrate even without effort on the part of the patient. So that’s a counter-example.

Would it make a difference if you were taking the drug to makeup for a deficiency, or if you were taking it to surpass normal ability?
