One potential explanation is that it's an excuse to keep Ukraine from blowing up more of Russia's capacity.

Diesel is a different distillate, you can have a shortage of gasoline and still have a surplus of diesel. As others have pointed out the amount that he's claiming to buy is pretty small and almost symbolic.

Yeah, for sure. My cohort has been relatively lucky on both sides in general. It's frustrating that people can't jut be nice.

Yeah, Japanese in-laws were super welcoming, American in-laws never met the grandkids because of racist stuff they said. Bizarre how much of that is still under the surface in the states.

My (charitable) impression is that median voter types believe that the consequences of protest votes for the crazy types get blocked by institutional guardrails. The dog caught the car and now they're having buyers remorse.

talked about this before and again, i'm speaking as a third generation journeyman trades worker, but working in trades is not something that any of the people who write these pieces, or honestly most of you, respect at all. It's perceived as something you do when all the "good" options are gone.

Definitely not, the US spends something like 3x per capita what any other country does on health care. With the government negotiating rates and no middlemen it's much easier to reduce costs.

Your employer keeps paying!

And people would likely save money.

I think we're saying the same thing. But if you translated the employer and employee share of health insurance to taxes it would be more than enough to cover everything.

aadsfasdfasdf @asdfafsf.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
It's pretty easy tbh. The money that people overpay for health insurance is already that "tax".

FWIW this sort of violence and humiliation as a way of flaunting untouchability were just as rampant if not more in the past. It's the actual imposition of consequences and shaming that is new.

Oh yeah, I completely understand why people would keep it. It was just too damaging to my mental health.

So glad I deleted Facebook. Even LinkedIn has those weirdos. It's so silly because those are the people that you want!

What's funny is that they make the communities so much better! Getting real momos/curry and kebab was great!

I really liked the Nepalese and Turkish guys that hustled in my neck of the woods. I feel like this is specifically targeting folks like them.

It really is a blight. That's why I this guys take is so funny. I guess people will say the same thing when sports gambling gets banned.

In western mass your best bet is someone tanglewood related. Not sure if anybody connected to the symphony is still around. How desperate are they to offload?

Yeah the sub thing was where the wheels came off for me too. "Maybe this guy was a thin skinned fraud all along."

He had that good will! He was getting glazed by Star Trek! He just squandered it because he's a Nazi psycho.

I mean he does have the same sort of genius for hucksterism and shamelessness that PT Barnum had.

Between the boiling weather and what you mention, I've lost a lot of the sense of wonder being in JP. Part of it is getting older and part of it is the economic decline too, I no longer have any doubts about not getting citizenship when I could.

To be charitable to the OP he could mean that all the old drudgery was just replaced by new makework and bureaucracy.

The argument is pretty funny. "You guys just rent people, we own them!"

On the other hand it's also easier to fake understanding to a point, especially in writing, which is breaking all sorts of evaluation mechanisms like automated grading.

There's an emancipatory aspect. For a motivated learner traditionally gatekept fields like mathematics become much more accessible because the LLM can explain the context.

H1bs are heavily abused. Body shops were grabbing all the slots and making it impossible for us to hire world class researchers.

The vibe coding can likely replicate a lot of the engine, features and simulation. A lot of tools that rely on high barriers to entry will find themselves linuxed.

On the other hand I've had pedestrians jump in front of me demand I back up after I've crept up to the intersection, entered the crosswalk and waited for a gap and they've been 15+ feet away.

If I have a signalized intersection and the right of way I will upbraid the driver if I have priority.
120
aadsfasdfasdf @asdfafsf.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
I've been on both sides of this. My rule of thumb is to just walk behind the driver if they're trying to creep into traffic safely and I wasn't just about to enter the crosswalk.

Undertale really is amazing. Completely rewrote my understanding of video games. Procedural rhetoric at its best.

Toby speaks that particular gaming language is a really fluent and interesting way (Megalovania is a riff on SNES boss fights he originally did for an Earthbound mod). But to "get" a lot of it your need the background.

aadsfasdfasdf @asdfafsf.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
There's a whole bunch of cultural stuff you have to be exposed to before it resonates IMO. Toby is interesting because he's an "old soul" in gaming fandom, a lot of Undertale and Deltarune descend from Earthbound (sorry if this is patronizing) and early 90s SNES culture.
