I can visualize this so clearly and it feels like a fever dream

Same when I got on ocd meds. Love being able to go and do a thing without compulsively making lists of every other tasks that I could be doing.

Economics is just psychology masquerading as a hard science

Rents are skyrocketing because demand is high and we literally do not have enough housing for the number of people we have in the places they live.

Suddenly dumping more money into the economy would just increase the price bar on that demand, and prices would go up more.

Prices can increase for a lot of reasons, and going up from one doesn’t stop them from going up from another.

I remember I’d just happened to buy a resin 3d printer, and so had bought a few masks to use for that. I got into printing and painting Warhammer because of the pandemic. Still have a a small army that’s entirely printed and about 3/4 painted from that time.

Similarly, from an engineer’s perspective, scientists are a great addition to the working group when you need to find the flaws in the system, but awful when you actually just need something to go into the real world and work 80% of the time ;)

Especially when you’re time constrained.

yes we made a bunch of noise about the failures of the democrats in an effort to pressure them to fucking do something

Is that what 2016 was? Cuz boy howdy did that plan backfire. Or are you just going for the repeat? And trying to claim credit for “making a bunch of noise” by sitting on your ass like you’ve contributed to some organized movement that’s progressing towards actual change is laughable.

They could store the families in a separate underwater bunker built on the ruins of a death cult’s sunken wizard tower too.

Program management system for the entire division? Excel. “Agile” task tracker? Excel. Requirements manager? Oh no no, that one’s written in a word document with no version control. I have trauma. Use tools made for the thing you want to do, please.

A friend would use "theydies and gentlethems"for dramatic effect
