If we are going to fail to intercept, it is better if it is because our systems aren't good enough yet than because we don't want to use them. We can see what we did wrong and improve our missile defense with a failed intercept.

"Black people voted for Obama just because he's black."
Liberals: "No they voted for him because he's a Democrat."

Also liberals: "Republicans fucked over the voting system in this area just because they're black."

That is internally consistent logic. Black people tend to vote democrat so republicans don't want black people to vote.

Well since a computer unquestionably automates the jobs of mathematicians, accountants, postal workers, secretaries, file clerks, etc, one computer should therefore be taxed as if it had the combined salary of a mathematician, accountant, mailman, secretary, and file clerk +more, right?

I'd say no to that because I have a feeling that would result in some figure that causes computers to be taxed as more employees than could actually exist in the country.

Same with flowers, Hallmark cards, and basically most sentimental gifts. Costs dirt cheap to produce and they sell them for a crazy amount.

The thing with diamonds is that the "rarity" is blown out of proportion. And when they sell "chocolate diamonds" those are just super impure brown diamonds that are one of the most abundant stones out there. It's all marketing.

That was an advertising campaign done to get rid of tons of trash diamonds, right?

This stuff is happening with anime too.

Everyone's splintering off into their own streaming services, and people are gonna say "fuck it" and start pirating again because nobody wants to pay $10 a month for like eight different services. These companies do it to themselves.

Yeah, we need more things like crunchyroll and funimation partnering up. Netflix handles anime terribly since they won't release things for months and Amazon goes around throwing money at Japanese companies to get exclusives and then puts them all behind multiple paywalls.

I wish I could find the video but it was of a guy high up in the diamond industry. He was going through some of of their merchandise and was literally like

"You see this diamond here? It cost us about $2 to get it, we will sell it for $100 because people will pay it"

Yeah i'm not playing that game.


They literally have vaults full of diamonds with like tons of diamonds and shit that they just hoard because they're trying to enforce artificial shortages.

And not "artificial shortages" like Nintendo either where they just sold out because they didn't understand demand, but I mean actual deliberate actions to destroy / otherwise remove supplies of diamonds to create shortages of them.

Yeah, that's the only way to maintain the high value. Without that sort of thing, the market value would be based mostly on their industrial value.

Soon all the major companies are gonna have their own separate streaming things & piracy might increase again because of that.

This. Instead of having one steam-like service that has virtually everything, it's all going to be spread across like 6 different channels for 6x the price per month to pay for all of them. Piracy will probably make a come back from this because no one wants to pay like $40+ a month for all this nonsense. They would want a simple consolidated experience

Yep. Multiple streaming services is fine, so long as they have most of the same things and are competing over quality and not exclusives. You beat piracy by being convenient, the harder things are for consumers, the less willing they are to do things legally.

Depending on the situation, that is an appropriate response. Like if you are telling them something that doesn't seem to make much sense, it is better if the employee questions it.

I'd be more understanding in that situation, of course. I can identify when we're going out of our usual MO and we'd need to explain

But it was a simple and direct order
I coordinate a driver service operation, and I asked him (quite nicely) to relocate to a different spot for me, because another driver had become unavailable (but he doesn't have to know this and it's not part of his job to know)
This is not out of the blue and it's not uncommon for us to move people around

"Why"

I'm still fuming

Ok, yeah. Sounds like the employee is still doing their standard job duties, just in a different location.
