  1. Pretty much my entire team shoots or owns guns, and we're all California liberals. The fear of liberal gun control is a trick the NRA plays on people like the GP.

    Legal gun owners don't murder. That's what the best data available tells us. Which makes perfect sense if you don't suffer from liberal hysteria, because tracing murder by registered firearm is trivial.

    You think the gun violence in Chicago stems from Indiana guns imported legally? Let me tell you about a little thing called criminal behavior...

    Yeah, that's why there's so many more mass shootings in Israel.

    Oh... wait a second...

    I know my fair share of billionaires as I've been involved with startups for decades. They do not work the kind of hours you seem to be talking about. They are all early risers, but just as early to jet. They have multiple projects, but none of them are demanding mad amounts of time. They are dillitantes, getting just involved enough to put their signature on something and make the big money. Lots are legit inventors.

    Also funny how there are tons of old American cars on the road from the 70s, but barely any German made ones...

    When I see a lowly salesperson driving a BMW, I assume they don't know the first thing about managing money, and that they are generally incompetent at life. People who spend 10% of their gross salary leasing a car probably aren't smart enough to be gainfully employed.

  10. Interesting dichotomy on VW Group, BMW and Daimler Are Under Investigation For Collusion In Europe (cnet.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Europe has much stricter environmental laws, but it turns out European manufacturers are shady as fuck. This is pretty much the perennial argument about private enterprise throwing up their hands once the government steps in.

    Meetings are a symptom of bad management, they are not a critical component to running a business.

    I'm not sure you have a solid grasp of what provides "career advencement". I assure you, those with "advanced" careers aren't putting in more hours at work. They work smarter not harder. The quicker you understand the dynamics of labor hours and self-respect, the quicker your career will advance.

    That's not really capital, that's labor. Those who spent capital making their labor valuable (software devs, doctors, etc.) don't really have the problem you're talking about.

    You must not do good on linguistic tests if you think "master is to slave" is the same as "parent is to child".

    Usually those who claim others are passive-aggressive are in fact the ones with problems of passive aggressive behavior.

  25. It's not an anachronism. You obviously don't understand the technology well enough to know why we use the terms "master" and "slave" which are words still used in the modern era to mean exactly what is meant by those words in tech.
