We have to call their bluff from time to time and remind the management that without us, none of their shit works. When we down tools its not like they can pick them up and get the show back on the road.

The silk road wasn’t taken down by an acronym. It was a bunch of hypocritical bigots called the American bureaucracy. They talk a lot about freedom but when they see something that promotes freedom like Wikileaks, south American socialism or the silk road, they seek to shut it down, often violently.

The people who believe that war criminals such as George Bush and Dick Cheney should be walking free and people like Julian Assange and Ross Ulbricht should be locked up, these people are our enemy.

Why didn’t the ACLU defend Ross Ulbricht? What about all the whistleblowers that have been imprisoned lately? Seems like there are better candidates than this guy.

We are locked into the big heavy vehicle paradigm. People have become so accustomed to moving around in a 2t vehicle they have forgotten about the alternatives. Lithium batteries are not a good fit for this type of vehicle and most of the time the use case is single occupant, where the bicycle is king of efficiency.

Put the popcorn on ice and the champagne in the air fryer?

Booooooo!

I went down the psychology rabbit hole and emerged with autism.

Avoid morning meetings like the plague. The first four hours of a work day are golden and should be reserved for creativity and nothing else. The agile process was instituted at our workplace and that startup meeting is an absolute menace. I’ll tell you how the day is going in the afternoon but right now I have to work.

Windows has become the Facebook of operating systems. Now watch this drive.

I’ve noticed the same thing from Indian colleagues. They rarely outwardly disagree and it’s very confusing to work that way. I don’t want a tiered workplace where some people are more equal than others. Let’s just speak plainly and politely, treat each other with respect, no matter where we’re from and what we look like.

I feel like the British colonial influence has been horrible for India and Africa in general.

Excellent guide. Greens are emerging as the only sane choice.

We spend more in healthcare in our last year of life than we do in our the rest of our lives combined.

Why are we spending a fortune proping up these old wrecks when their quality of life is already shit?

It’s the topic nobody wants to talk about. We want to live in the fantasy land where we can keep going forever.

Most anglophones are awful people.

Sadly, you are speaking for a great many places. I’ve cycled in most of the countries I’ve visited and it can be relatively dangerous.

If people want to see how to integrate a public transport network with a cycle path network, places like Netherlands and Denmark are leading the way.

Over here in the UK we have one of the most regressive attitudes to sustainable transport in Europe. Our trains don’t work and cycling is barely tolerated.

Come back OG Jesus, all is forgiven.

In the UK if you need an anti depressant, they will be prescribed after a ten minute conversation. On the other hand if you want to treat the underlying condition that is causing the depression you have a very steep hill to climb. For example, it is estimated that around 30% of male prisoners have ADHD. Lately I have stopped thinking of the UK as an ethical society.

It didn’t sound like that to me. Americans meddling in other countries is par for the course.

Former colonial powers are accused of doing colonial stuff again. Obviously China is the bad guy for attempting to prevent this violation.
