re-post: The more I read this, the more I am impressed with this professor's approach to the question, "how should the lives of innocent people be weighed against important military objectives?" I posted it this weekend but just re-read it and am so taken aback by its thoughtfulness. https://theconversation.com/why-all-civilian-lives-matter-equally-according-to-a-military-ethicist-218686
@TheConversationUS in all honesty, the amount of woodburning done in residential areas shows that reduction of air quality by gas stoves is not something people worry about. If they would, woodstoves would be illegal in residential areas. But here we are, coughing away due to the neighbours "cosy warmth".
Pretending here the answer isn't "you had a 3x engineer and made then work like they were a 20x engineer and this burnt them out in like two years and now they're doing woodworking in a log cabin on the top of a mountain in Montana and if you mention computers to them, they'll shoot you in the face"
It seems every company I've worked at has a person who looms large in their legend.
Like, they're often the person who built the core systems, everything was originally their design, but they left recently and in their absence they've had to hire like 5 more people to try and take over all their responsibilities.
I think next time I'm gonna track down that person, find out where they moved to, and go work there instead
scenario 1: trump wins, trump becomes president again.
scenario 2: biden wins, trump supporters storm the capital again, this time with their rifles, and capital police are 10000% ready, and there is an *actual* insurrection, and battle (which the trumpites will lose, naturally), and all hell breaks loose.
both of these are bad. i don't know which is more bad, however. biden is also an old fool who is fucking everything up, just in orthogonal ways to how trump fucks everything up.
