Note: if I were to commit medically induced suicide it would be by nitrogen hypoxia. By alla counts it is the best way to go.

It's not how all negotiations work.

The best unions refuse the table stakes of nondisclosure and then tell their members exactly what's happening.

I highly recommend Jane Mcalevey's book on the subject: Rules to Win By.

Seems pretty obvious to me: communications jamming is extremely antisocial behavior which could be life threatening

You're still describing the effects of toxic masculinity, just the 2nd order effects rather than the first.

Why do you think a lot of men don't know what to do with it? Why do you think a lot of men aren't concerned?

It's not some innate aspect of being a woman: it's a suppressed aspect of being a human that society has pressed out of men.

Note: use thereof is a felony and they chase you for it

This is what is commonly referred to as "toxic masculinity". That's the crux of what they're talking about. It's not just that men are taught to be dangerous to those around them, it's that we're also taught to be hard and lonely Islands that seek no support.

It's no way to live and it crushes you over time.

As a professional mobile app developer most of these lines are bullshit anyways.

Purchase history? Yeah that's just if you've bought subscriptions to the service. Of course we fucking know your purchase history: if we didn't how would you get anything with a purchase?

Crash analytics? Cool we get a stack trace of what happened when it crashed. Half the time it's not even helpful because it's buried deep in some fucking Java library.

Things like coarse location are getting more specific and a few lines here can be used to deanonymize you when used together but (or an advertising I'd which can be used to track you no matter what) but the majority of data passed to phone devs is us frantically trying to figure out what combination of make & model of android device combined with android version caused your app to crash.

Anonymity is important and we should all take it seriously. Most of this has jack shit to do with being anonymous.

Besides: ewa is listed as a paragon here when they collect advertising data, the most targeted and least anonymous of all data gathering.

50% of the 90% are convinced that the party of the 1% has their best interests at heart and really care about identity politics.

I'll let you try and figure out which party that is.

It was something I never could put words to until NJB showed up. I had already moved to NYC to get away from the burbs and driving.

And then I took the orange pill.

The commercial vacancy rate is ~16%.

That's high but it's not "we can convert these lightless offices into housing with no light and ventilation" high.

We need to be building housing. Like, as much housing as possible. Market rate is great. Just keep building it market rate as quick as we can and we'll start putting pressure down on the cheap housing displacement.

And I'm not saying "we" to only mean NYC. The entire fucking US needs to get on this.

Time to finish what Sherman started.

No, he's wrong (obviously) it's a for profit startup.

It's not currently making money but that's different than nonprofit obviously.

He's right about the Jack part though.
