Runcible

I am guessing that it is a compilation of dev responses to the pricing

don't ever change

In regard to r/antiwork specifically a lot of it is also weird power fantasy stuff. You'll routinely see posts about "I would tell them these are my contract rates at 3-5 times whatever your equivalent hourly was with a 4 hour billable minimum" failing to recongize the power dynamic that previously existed and the idea of reputation in industry or the like.

The example isn't the best but when you browse you can tell that most of these psots come from people unfamiliar with professional environments assuming it works radically different than it does.

they want to be thanked for it.

I kinda think this is a result of the part of them that isn't awful trying and failing to get them to realize this is bad, so they are left with guilt that they need their victim to absolve

it's gross and dehumanizing regardless of whether or not it is an accurate description

My understanding is that the "personality disorders" section of the DSM was unreliable/wildly subjective and existed for completeness only rather than as a really valid diagnosis? This is almost certainly true in how the labels get used and I think somewhat undermines that these are disorders in a medical sense and just kind of a catchall for people that society doesn't like (I am aware of the overlap)

Commercial bearings routinely have tolerances of 0.0004" or less & performance bearings designed for specific aerospace use/applications can have substantially tighter tolerances.

The impressive part is that that take is still better than ~~killing native populations and taking their land on purpose~~ "displacing native populations" is morally better than not understanding the ecosystem and accidentally causing famine by killing "pests"

Yeah, I've had this argument before and for me it always boils down into "no one can know everything and you have to be willing to trust experts in a field for any large scale system/society to work" and "it's literally got opium".

The opium argument has only surface validity to me, (think "vaccines have mercury/arsenic" vibes) just because how often and how much processing is done to things that otherwise we can't ingest but still use in medicine.

There is obviously somewhere along the chain where the good faith argument breaks down and people were actively consciously accepting murdering people for profit and I don't see a need to be cautious on drawing that line.

Yeah. This is genuinely sad, but also confusing. Like, how do these people interact with the world? Ignoring anything uplifting, how would you work, or find places & things you needed without being able to read?

I truly cannot imagine being unable to read. That even 1 in 5 people I met could be there is mind boggling.
