> Is when and how much I use a dryer worth $30/month on a 2 year contract

The contract they negociate with the carrier will probably be closer to $3/drier/year.


Yeah I'm confused about what OP meant was wrong with hamburger menu, the paradigm is "if the screen is too small for File | Edit | View | Etc. | Help, then collapse them behind the hamburger, which is generally good and sane.



I've been an IC for 10 years and never would have guessed that's what IC stands for.


The name-dropping/link-dropping with an extra discord link that will likely expire long before everything else is tasteless.

A tasteful mention would look like this:

> If you're looking for a scene graph based engine instead of an ECS based engine, checkout $PROJECT_NAME at $PROJECT_LINK and here's an example $EXAMPLE_LINK

I can't vouch for the accuracy of the statement, but it clearly lays out the primary difference in value proposition, and 2-3 distinctions in value proposition would be good.

The goal should be to help people find what they are looking for, not spam.


> and throw it out after 2 years.

I've only had one android device remain usable significantly longer than 1 year.


Sounds like why I use sublime instead of $POPULAR.


> sacrifice

Recieving an unearned $11.70 million untaxed income for free is the opposite of "our own ends" and "sacrifice". It sounds like you fetishize everyone else having a hard time but want to make a special exception for yourself and your kids.


The government forcing someone to give their estate to random strangers is absolutely a forced sacrifice. This is not me being poetic. I think we can agree on this. Do you not?

The question is, whether we want human sacrifice, or not. I think many people want that and would admit it openly. I, on the other hand, do not support human sacrifice.

> It sounds like you fetishize everyone else having a hard time

Do you want to have an honest intellectual discussion or do you want to try to advocate for your ideal system using emotionalism? Because obviously what you've said in this part has no intellectual content. Seems like you're on the border. Make a decision. Do you want to be rational, or not?


Imagine if a guy stole your $500 TV, did $500 worth of damage to your window to get it, then sold it for $100. After he was caught, instead of going to jail his insurance was ordered to pay you $200.


The saying is usually more like "privatize the profits, socialize the loses", which is derived from "socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor".

The point of the phrase is that the people who are paying for the costs (tax payers) are not the ones who received any benefit or were going to benefit (profits, shareholders, CEOs, etc.).

Indeed, however the case in point is the Chernobyl disaster, and in the USSR there AFAIK were no profits/shareholders/CEOs...

My point is that such scam isn't specific to the degraded version of capitalism so common in our nations, which is in fact "crony capitalism".


I always found the tribalistic "crony capitalism" vs "crony socialism" debate to be a convenient escape from actually discussing the removal of cronyism.


So often true!

We patently cannot tackle cronyism thanks to any powerful institution. In fact anything powerful nurtures it.
