  • It is a luxury, but I don’t think we’re wrong to want luxuries. I think the frequency issue is intentionally disregarded. And it shouldn’t be. I’d rather have weekly delivery to my door than daily to a community mailbox. But what I’d really like is choice. What if we had both a community mailbox and weekly door-to-door delivery? Need something urgently, pick it up at the community mailbox where it gets dropped off daily, but if you’re not religiously emptying your community mailbox, a postman still comes by once a week to deliver any mail from your community mailbox to your home?

    I suspect this could potentially save a lot of money AND provide actually better service to the significant majority of people. To the point that we could even start expanding door-to-door delivery again instead of removing it, we’d just expand it to areas that currently only have community mailboxes but do it on a reduced frequency, like garbage and recycling services. If they can do it weekly in most places, why can’t the postal service?




  • Building more AI datacenters would also obviously help. /s

    Quantity over quality, if you have a thousand AI at a thousand typewriters surely one of them is guaranteed to be right‽ Then we’ll get more AI to decide which one is right! But that one might be wrong? Then we’ll use thousands of those too to make sure they’re picking the right one! Then… wait why did the lights just go out?


  • Correct solution. Corporations are not people and they do not get to participate in the political system, despite what any precedent may have established, that precedent is wrong and is incompatible with a functioning and free society.

    Once corporations are no longer people, you will find a lot of things start making a lot more sense again, and it will be much easier to begin redistributing wealth for the good of the people again, to the actual people that the government of the people, by the people, and for the people exists to serve.


  • Free speech issues are not relevant because it’s a private company. Free speech is about limiting the government’s ability to control speech, companies are always free to do so for their own reasons on their own platforms. While that can be problematic when you don’t know whether the government is leaning on the companies behind the scenes, what the first amendment is really written to prevent is the overt fascist gestapo tactics the Trump administration is now using to bully their critics.

    It is important to understand the constitution and why it was written, so people can act accordingly. It’s especially important when the government is not acting accordingly.


  • I am not a fan of platformers and puzzles, in general, and am not too interested in this concept specifically. But I may end up buying it out of spite for hateful people. I also suggest taking a peek at their previous game Semblance which, although also a platformer, looks genuinely sort of novel to me (granted, as I said, I am not a fan of platformers in general so maybe it is in fact not unique at all). Feel free to take my thoughts with a large grain of salt, this is not really my area of expertise.
