Quarterly profits is the only goal? Guess we’ll only think 3 months ahead.

Could you elaborate? My understanding of anarchism is the goal of eliminating government. That won’t eliminate an economic system that originated organically.

Lovely looking pie! I’ve been doing cast iron pizzas for some time now. You can cut your cooking time down by 10-15 min if you do the following:

Start cooking on stove: burner on high for ~4-5 min to set the dough. When you first turn the burner on, also turn on the broiler.

Toss it under the broiler for another ~5min or until your cheese crisps up just the way you like it.

The higher heat of the stove and broiler (even though it’s not at the same time) mimics the super hot pizza ovens a bit better (imo).

Haha yes, I did mean causal.

I think it’s a casual argument. People are saying pitbulls are not inherently more violent, they just tend to be the dog of choice for people who want violent (guard) dogs. They are then taught violent behaviors by their owners.

Also be the Hip Hop Pop, which imo is more important.

Oh yeah, location sharing will have almost no effect those risks. Totally agree.

Just disagreeing that low probability of occurrence automatically means the risk assessment should be low.

Risk assessment is probability and severity. The probability can be vanishingly low, but if the severity is astoundingly high then acting like a high risk situation could be appropriate.

Take asteroids. The last planet killer to hit us was 94million years ago. A rudimentary estimate could put the probably as 1:94mil. The severity of an asteroid impact of that magnitude is off the charts, so it is reasonable to consider it a risk and act accordingly to spend resources to search for and track asteroid trajectories.

The severity of abduction, murder, and rape is probably pretty high for most people, so considering it a risk even with a very small probability is not unreasonable.

My old boss used to say “Hope is not a strategy.” I think that’s a pretty good philosophy.

Nice of the billionaire to vacate perfect real estate for city owned grocery stores

I agree it feels very slow, but identifying the correct action and then building consensus around that action takes time. Once consensus is built it is very stable though. That is supposed to be the biggest benefit of democracy; stability built through coalition.

Robert Moses?

Thank you for the write up. That distinction makes a lot of sense.

Ahh fantastic point. There isn’t really an incentive for the individuals to maintain/perpetuate the institution.

I understand the sentiment. I’m wondering about the efficacy of the strategies to achieve those end goals.

I don’t agree with this. Shareholders extracting value from a company is arguably more of an ‘inefficency’ than treating employees fairly. Well treated employees provide a benefit to the company while shareholders purely remove resources.

I have no data to back up my claim, just logic, so I could very well be wrong.

That you very much for writing this up. It is super interesting, and I feel bad for dismissing her. Unfortunately, I will probably continue people whom are the vague they.

I read this in Jake Peralta’s voice.

A plague of plagues is a plague?

That’s an unpopular opinion??
