@OldRowSwig Competence training in a given job shifted from a cost that employers ate to a cost a potential employee is expected to eat (College and certification creep.)
At my company the young guys are getting masters for management promotions. All the 20 year managers don't have them.

There’s been a massive competency decline that seems like it was done to our population on purpose.

every MMO eventually duplicates cars
i.e. add a mode of transport that's better in legible ways (speed, convenience) but worse for illegible social value
e.g much serendipity in World of Warcraft from just running places, then they added flying mounts

I've come around to the realization that Elytras are by and large one of the worst additions to Minecraft because they entirely eliminated a pillar of base building (especially on servers) by making literally every other transportation method redundant once you get one

I'm guessing this guy is mid-20s. I used to be 23 and hate the oppressive surveillance apparatus, seeing it as some techno-daddy or god to overthrow in my total rebellion. I would pop off at cops when they pulled me over for traffic violations. My pen would bleed with manifesti. As Lucifer says in "Paradise Lost" when being cast out from Heaven, "Non serviam", I will not serve!
But then I realized that I had more to fear from the daily oppression of criminals, the violent in thought and behavior and people who cannot manage themselves in a free society, people who subject others to their own disorder, harming the peace and security that a society depends on.

@GrowlerEnjooyer @lost_nomad__ And on the flip side, you can pay for online purchases at almost any convenience store, instead of relying on cards. That means you can effectively pay for anything online in cash. It's probably also why vending machines are more common- cash culture.

@lost_nomad__ They also had tap to pay from your smartphone about a decade before it became ubiquitous stateside

Why does Japan get all this kind of stuff and we don’t?
Surely people would like it, and the hot-food vending machines, the giga 7-11’s, the self-cleaning toilets… where are they?

@BluebriarArts Flying mounts in MMOs are the same. They incentivize ignoring the game and turning it into islands of content. Flying mechanics in most games not based around it are bad, and a lot of people hate to admit that most "Quality of life" things are simply ways to not play the game.

@smithtjosh @CAKlogic @CCk83693699 @BryceTheNoble If I'm "Anti-modern" because they sympathize with people who rightfully are concerned with the real impact of a giant corporate projects on their very real lives, I invite you to introspect on if this was happening next door to you, not just what you stand to gain living far away

Yours is the ignorant and myopic thinking.

@Raddish68 @smithtjosh @BryceTheNoble Does wisconsin not have space? Did they buy the land already? I can sympathize with higher energy costs, but I would think in the long run it would reduce the costs as DCs will be spending heavily on energy, which I believe is taxed.
English
@CCk83693699 @smithtjosh @CAKlogic @BryceTheNoble Walmart is often quite literally the only place to shop in huge swathes of the USA (Especially rural) and this is because they are exceedingly skilled at putting all of their competition out of business. What are you even talking about?
English
@Raddish68 @smithtjosh @CAKlogic @BryceTheNoble Remember, this is all voluntary. Nobody is forced to shop at walmart. People choose less quality for less cost based on their individual needs. I agree that it's not always a good choice, but it's nonetheless the person's choice and often is a good one.

@CCk83693699 @CAKlogic @smithtjosh @BryceTheNoble I don't think the electrical generation and distribution market is easy to break into considering most established utilities own all the poles.
English
@CAKlogic @Raddish68 @smithtjosh @BryceTheNoble Agreed, as long as you allow competition, demand will help drive down prices. Profit motive is a good thing, it attracts the competition.
English
@smithtjosh @CAKlogic @CCk83693699 @BryceTheNoble First order thinking. "Wow look at how cheap!" without considering the destruction of local economies Walmart, dollar general, etc. cause. The idea is cheap goods are a gift, allowing spending elsewhere, but at what cost?

even without grapheneos mobile os'es (android and ios) are the most secure os'es out there.
Yes, without grapheneos apple/google are definitely sniffing on you but from an attacker's perspective any desktop os is much, much, much less secure

I like how people who have NO idea about security telling you to "stop using your phone" Brother, your phone may be the most secure device you have on you. Especially if it's @GrapheneOS

@ChaiDeluxe Fun fact: there's a lack of these "risk shuffling" companies and there's probably a demand in your local area to do things like this for all the big companies in your local industrial park. A whole industry mandated by legal risk avoidance and you could do it too!
English
@ChaiDeluxe Most corporate places don't do this. They pay a company to do it and then deliver a piece of paper that says they did it. At the imaging bench, they bought a hard-drive bending press to destroy them ourselves to save money, but legal and net-sec said no way. Pay the man to drill.
