Although this surely does not completely explain the situation, I also have a feeling these sorts of hires surely account for a substantial number of layoffs.

Well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions!
- Comment on Bill Gates says a 3-day work week where 'machines can make all the food and stuff' isn't a bad idea 11 months ago:
It’s not like I’m a scholar on the subject or anything, but to my mind the key thing you said is “changing the system”. That’s the prerequisite for achieving a more just society. You can hate on the owner class all you want, simply getting rid of them will not necessarily overthrow societal power relations. New billionaires will rise, capitalism will not die along with the last rich white dude.
I would even go so far as to say that hating on the owning class kind of deflects from analyzing the contradictions and ideologies produced by capitalist societies themselves. This especially shows in certain sorts of reactionary political movements, who have no problem with capitalism as long as it feeds their nationalist ambitions instead of some globalist billionaire jet-set often described as Jewish.
My comment wasn’t really aimed at humanizing him, I only wanted to poke fun at him although I can see where you’re coming from.

I’m more on the side of Marx’s character mask argument on people like Bill. That’s why I can make shitpost comments like mine even without liking him all too much.

I love that this headline let’s ole Bill sound like a zoned out stoner college freshman.

Wow I gotta stop hanging out exclusively in Rust communities. When I read the headline I was expecting much more drama.
- Comment on Screen time linked with developmental delays, study finds 1 year ago:
This point is actually acknowledged in the study findings under “Strengths and Limitations”:
A limitation is that the information we collected did not allow us to separate educational screen time from other types of screen time. Doing so may have helped us in examining the association between screen time and child development while considering both positive and negative aspects of screen time. The original data used in the study did not allow this differentiation but these findings can be used as a starting point for further research.
- Comment on Screen time linked with developmental delays, study finds 1 year ago:
Ah ok, I thought you were insinuating kids were being excessively exposed to screens for the sake of research, which wasn’t happening here. But yeah, I agree feeding your toddler 4+ hours of digital media a day is very depressing.
- Comment on Screen time linked with developmental delays, study finds 1 year ago:
I do not understand the amount of uninformed objection to the presented results in a number of comments here … you can’t just discount the results of a peer-reviewed study with some generic knee-jerk interjection off the top of your head. Read the article. It details which covariates were considered and how they were taken into account. Income bracket, educational background, gender, … all this shit is not new to researchers.
Don’t get me wrong: JAMA Pediatrics being a reputable journal shouldn’t lull you into complacency, but JFC, just because you don’t agree with the findings of a study doesn’t mean you have to dismiss it completely on first glance.
- Comment on Screen time linked with developmental delays, study finds 1 year ago:
What are you talking about? This data was collected in a field study, not in a lab.
- Comment on Screen time linked with developmental delays, study finds 1 year ago:
This is actually an incredibly poor take. Why do you think self-reported data has no scientific value?
- Comment on Screen time linked with developmental delays, study finds 1 year ago:
Regarding your last sentence: Are you suggesting insincere motives behind this study?
There is an argument to be made about how studies like this underpin technology averse boomers trying to vilify modern social life. OTOH, studies like this, correctly implemented, are utterly important. It wouldn’t be the first time science has proven something very popular (e.g. smoking) is actually also very harmful.
