all Tinder cares about is keeping you swiping, with your eyes on the screen.

there are places where it's the only option. like highway rest stops.

They pay all their employees like shit. Pretty much every University/college does.

Except for the administrators.

which is why people want to be rich. it's way bigger benefit than the money.

people think about all the maga types that are 'one day millionaires'. nah, it's not about being rich for money, it's about they back a guy who does the stuff they wish they could personally do. like be rabidly racist in public without consequence

Yeah, I am shocked how many people regard exercising their autonomy as a punishment rather than a privilege, and they seem to genuinely hate it and want someone to tell them what to do with their life and what to think.

I mean, most people seem to agree with them. People listen to billionaires way more than they do your average academic making 100K/yr.

money talks. climate gets fucked.

fountain pens and art stuff. nope. I'm too busy now with way more responsibilites. got two promotions and two pets and a side business now. don't have hours of downtime during wfh like i did in 20/21. Now I have about $500 in pens that i only use to sign check and a few other things.

It's the protocols more than anything.

stuff with this speeds existed already, it just wasn't via USB. it was expensive proprietary protocols and hardware and cables. USB is an open standard design for consumer use, and not for giant corps with datacenters who can pay $2,000 for a single data cable.

Thunderbolt is basically a data-transfer focused version of USB, and just requires a different controller that supports the new protocols to achieve the higher speeds.

multiplexing is one way to achieve higher bandwidth and throughput over the same physical cable.

This is the truth of it. A lot of people simply don't vote, especially young people. So the old conservative times have more power, because they do vote.

I'm in my 30s but half the people I know love to complain, but won't ever vote. Because it's inconvenient for them.
