You think the money going to private prison owners is gonna be spent on prisons???

My sweet summer child. That would be a colossal waste! You see, if instead we overcrowd and starve people, then our profits will increase. And profits MUST increase.

This is sick!! Would you mind sharing your config?

[–] dil@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Don't do that.

Don't give me hope.

Right - the cost is your time instead of dollars.

I don't like doing stuff, so I give my time an hourly rate of $100. Absolute BEST case scenario (for me) would be that this is a weekend project, so call it 10 hours.

So my best case break-even point would be 10K stars. Which seems like it'd be more than I'd need?

Absurdism in philosophy is "nothing matters"ism - see the exurb1a video above.

In art, though, absurdism is what you describe.

He's Mr Grinch, so it's at least his last name (and also explains him being THE Grinch who stole christmas). It's possible that it's also his job (see "Smith"), but prefer that grinching is named after him, a la Scrooge

Thanks for posting the Besos interview!

Super interesting that they were already hoovering up user data as fast as they could in '97 - half a gigabyte per day.

Not to rail you in the ass, but why isn't this making the perfect the enemy of the good?

The benefit to low-income families seems massive, and it's hard for me to accept that taxing revenue instead of profit is enough of a marginal negative to outweigh that benefit.
