Bertuccio,

I’ve just started doing practical interviews. I basically get really young people with little overall experience and I just want to know if they can do common technical tasks.

So one question is to literally have them explain how to tighten a bolt. One person failed.

Bertuccio,

I did actually make the mistake of asking just “which way do you turn a screw” once and the person had the sense to ask “to tighten or loosen it?”

Bertuccio,

Yeah but if they don’t show which is which I ask them to show too.

Almost everyone gets screw turning right, it just weeds out a few people who say the right things in emails.

Bertuccio,

Even if they did damage anything their message is that anyone getting mad about damaging works of art or heritage sites through direct action should be just as mad about people destroying the actual entire planet indirectly and calling for their immediate imprisonment too.

As annoying as I find them and as much as I want to preserve these things, they’re exactly right that paintings and rocks mean fuckall if we ruin our only home.

Bertuccio,

That is awesome.

Can I also not hold my breath for a spider-tank game?

Bertuccio,

Basically Eva spider tanks? Want.

I don’t see a lot of games actually make legs look like they’re reacting to the ground under them so the concept is cool and really makes things feel … grounded. The last I remember is MechWarrior 4 from forever ago.

Bertuccio,

TBF it only made anyone mad.

Many screeched omigodtheyreturningmahkidsgay. Many were annoyed at the blatant pretense at support that did zero actual supporting and just hoped to make a buck. The rest didn’t notice or care.

I guess pretend support is still better than no support, but I didn’t believe they were genuine or courageous a year ago, so it’s not surprising for them to confirm it.

Bertuccio,

There is a vast resource of nearly all of humanity’s collective knowledge that you can tap to learn why a govt doing something doesn’t mean it’s not capitalism.

Ignoring whatever semantic arguments about socialism and communism, it’s easier to just point out that statement isn’t true.

Employee-owned businesses are socialist - in the actual definition of socialism where capital is owned by the workers. They work fine, maybe even better than capitalist businesses.

Fire departments are socialist - in a slightly different definition where a non-capital resource is owned by a community. They definitely work better than the capitalist versions that used to exist.

The problem with saying anything communist always fails is that they only call it communism when it fails. When it succeeds they just call it something else.

Bertuccio,

You could tell she was beautiful even with the prosthetics.

Bertuccio,

OP doesn’t specify, but I read the gripe as it’s a branded truck that’s basically an advertisement you pay to give to your kid. And it’s geared towards kids exactly to expose them at a young age and make a positive association that will pay off when they grow up.

I like UPS more as a company than FedEx or Amazon because it supposedly has a decent union and actually pays their employees. But the toy itself is still an ad, and I personally don’t view it any more highly than I view similar Amazon truck toys that pander to children. If it were some generic delivery truck I doubt anyone would even notice.

Bertuccio,

More from the same author:

Starvation and malnutrition plummet as crop yields increase. Unfortunately a new industry of storing food must be created to ensure the excess is preserved for times of need.

Free time skyrockets as menial labor is offloaded onto AI and machines. Unfortunately a new self-actualization industry must be created for people to learn intellectual and creative skills they didn’t have time or money for.

Higher education rates increase as governments help fund students and enact laws to keep for-profit-education from price gouging. Unfortunately untold new industries are created as unnoticed talent is given the opportunity to cultivate it.

Bertuccio,

“Can think for herself”.

Dude really wants to do the “Where you do want to go eat?” “I dunno, where do you want to go eat?” vicious cycle?

Bertuccio,

I finally got around to watching that and it keeps getting funnier.

Bertuccio,

Your chances of beating a wolf are low enough that you’d probably be better off with the quick death the other two would provide.

Bertuccio,

I disagreed more with Guinness tasting metallic…

Bertuccio,

Mine defaults to on and I have to turn it off. It also requires an absolutely terrible app that seems to get worse with every update .

If I’d known I wouldn’t have bought it and I don’t recommend Blackvue.

Bertuccio,

Your proof doesn’t end at 0. Embryos can get married.
