flandish

I was not speaking of zoning but the simple mathematical fact that the profit obtained by the owning class could, in certain terms, be re-appropriated to the building of houses to solve homelessness.

Right. Also it’s a manufactured scarcity. The too brass of this capitalist system we working class suffer under could clearly fix house scarcity.

I’m always looking for a self hosted pocketsmith alternative with a calendar like it. Thats how I use it best. I know I buy crap so categories are meh. But being able to pop ahead a month and adjust a bill or expense schedule to better align with fortnightly pay helps me. It also helps to remind me what I have not paid.

And to “predict” future balances. Sure a sheet can do that but I have always found a visual calendar works best with my adhd.

We need to teach this as the type of relationship early but frankly society starts off very young teaching people to be “rockstars” and work 80hrs to be better than the “lazy” and the “poors” and in some circles “the immigrants.”

This is by (capitalist) design.

You haven’t been around enough middle mgmt who consider “rockstar” engs disposable like capital budget line items.

This is just standard profit over people capitalism.

I found Bartleby to be a fantastic short read that stuck with me. Did you like it?

Because when a corporation has put profit over people and the people were harmed or killed, that corporation deserves to be completely dismantled and the owners (yes: shareholders too) deserve jail.

Until capitalism stops treating people like they are a renewable resource to squeeze profit from - capitalists need to be put on notice that acting like criminals means they get treated like criminals.

Stop. Pretending. There. Are. Good. Corporations.

My stepdad died, this past weekend, and his cause on the death cert was apnea. He used his machine religiously.

I need to stop by mom’s house and see which he used. It’s different than mine which is not the recalled type.

Price. The changes tacitly indicate approval/disapproval.

This is simply how capitalism works. It’s run by humans who can pretend (market) they care about lives, but the math and shareholder roi promises indicate otherwise.

Until industry related to health, safety, and other facets (educ, housing, mass transit, etc) are publicly run and regulated, and not for-profit-capitalist, this story will keep happening. It’s going to take enough death lining up before the public realizes these shareholders should be held criminally responsible.

Oh for sure. I don’t disagree - it’s just so.. easily “faked” too. Nothing is anon but also nothing short of me showing a cop looking over my shoulder is proof positive.

What I don’t understand is how they tie data to a specific human in meatspace. Like my car - I own it but if you drive it, you get the speeding ticket.

But with data - sure this post is from a meatspace device registered in my name / but does not indicate I am the actual meatspace person using it.

This obligation comes, historically, second to the obligation to reward investors and is only considered in terms of “ratio” and return. They (corps) don’t actually “care” in the way a human with a heart may.

They only ever see numbers and a “fine” for instance is just a “cost.”

Exactly because spying, to a corporation, is a profit opportunity. They are built to see any opportunity in terms of ROI; spying using data, which is relatively cheap, is a great ROI.

Even if it is deplorable.

Thoughts on alternatives? Open sourced ones?

I currently use DuckDuck’s browser and wanted to try Brave but it seems to want to push crypto everywhere.

“Understand” - people keep using that word and I don’t think they understand what it means.

Right. But you’ll notice they happened contemporary to each other by the same actor.

That’s kind of important.

Still doesn’t justify Zionists doing a fucking genocide against people who have been overrun by the same zionists given “power” by … that nation doing the sykes-picot and balfour thing.

Stop pretending these are separate events.

You conveniently ignored the “Balfour” part of my comments, too. They were contemporary actions by the British who had no business, at all, to do what they did. “Ends and means” and all of that.

I am sure the people who had lived there were just fine with europeans dividing up land, huh? Doesn’t help oil was discovered recently …

I mean, look at what happened to France in Vietnam. They were “happily” appreciated while pretending they knew what was best for the people that lived there already.

Y’all will do anything to pretend it’s “ok” for white people to tell folks what to do with their land. Ottoman empire or not.

Bottom line is: Zion != Israel. Zionism is making the call in today’s era and that call is to genocide.

It is wrong.

1916/17 - Sykes-Picot agreement and Balfour Declaration was pushed by England/the west to split the middle east up. Even though there were already nations there. Thus creating a “home for Zionists”.

The 40’s was the standard “zionists get israel for real this time” after England got its butt kicked by the very same folks it helped in the teens.

But that’s irrelevant to the point that nothing, ever, makes a genocide ok. Stop pretending it’s not just because the fascist and gaslighting zionists claim it’s “not a genocide we promise.”

England did a genocide on the Irish. Zionists are doing on in the Palestinians. There have been plenty of US backed ones over the years too.

Any nation state who says “they’re not doing a genocide” .. totally is.

[flagged]

It’s not racism to remind people that nothing ever makes genocide ok. What israel and the US support is doing is a genocide.

No. It’d land they agreed to take with the help of england who was at risk of losing ww1.

Zionism did not exist until the late 19th century and was based in Berlin at the time england suggested splitting up the middle east.

The who “our history from God” thing is a retconn.

Funny how your thinking does not span over 20 years.

For well over 100 years ago England was messing with the region. (Sykes picot)

Getting european and american nation state influence and support of genocide out of the middle east is completely appropriate.

Ask yourself - why are those shipping lanes important to America?

Funny but I do use it. My license signature is even in Gregg

It’s legible to those who know it.

What you’re noticing is a sort of active “commodity fetish” with this AI stuff.

Just like NFTs only bigger. Just like 80’s era diet pills. Or 90’s era whatevers.

It’s a facet of capitalism to drive consumption and move to profit as quickly as possible. I think we are still in the “gauge and gamble” phase, but eventually in a season or to we will see it hit and bilk the general public.

We all know “AI” has been a “thing” since ML or Soundex or PID loops, or small models, etc.

It’s just “finally” hit a downhill allowing some momentum to build.

Ground fire ladders are about 35’ max. Aerial apparatus (trucks/quints) around the US are normally around 80-110 feet in length.

My current tower rig is 85’, our next will be 105.

Consider that is ladder length and the “true” height is really a hypotenuse on a right triangle with one side the building.

We can generally reach most of our properties just fine, as our tallest is about 5 stories. However there are some across a river with access harder in front, and a ladder across the river is the way to go.

> The problem is humanitarian crises don't pay.

That’s only a problem if profit/exploitation is more important than humanity.

IMHO, space based technology needs to be public owned (not corporate) and not allowed to profit, with its goals and designs fit to benefit humanity before profit.
