    Why doesn't the US as an country have bullet trains?

    Jump

  • Other answers are good.

    I expect there's a lot of racism, too. A lot of people don't want those people to have nice things, even if it means personally suffering.

    If you build a nice train system, you might have to see those people on your day to day. In a car, you're isolated and feel safe.

    But mostly I expect it's because of the massive highway system that was built without corresponding passenger rail.

  • I was outside the city a couple weeks ago and saw a lot of maga stuff. Maybe I should get like stickers or business cards for this site to leave places like that.

  • Microsoft admits Windows 11 has a GDID tracker with no off switch, first documented publicly in an FBI hacker complaint

  • 100%. I think a lot about one of my friends when trying to think about that kind of user. Smart lady. Advanced degree. Has her life together. Would absolutely not want to try to install an OS. Wouldn't even know how to start.

    But I'm confident if I handed her a Linux laptop, she'd use it just the same as a Mac or Windows machine.

  • Right. Inertia is the metaphor I used to express that idea.

  • I don't think that's actually very many people. Not for their personal computers. Most people don't run much more than a web browser, if they don't play games.

  • A private prison company will run new ICE children's facility -- and IRS pros have questions

  • I think sometimes about two of my old coworkers. Mid six figure salary, straight white guys. Didn't go to even the most basic protests. They'd say they cared, but when it came down to showing up they just made excuses, stayed home, and played dota. They just didn't care that much.

    I don't speak to either of them anymore. If they think about me at all, they probably think I'm just annoying for making them feel bad.

  • Don't let awful managers guilt trip you

  • Dude really was a moron, wasn’t he?

    A leading hypothesis is management are fucking stupid. Throw them back into the trenches. Let them do some actual work for a few years

  • According to the USA Gov, Linux usage is at 5.8%

  • Good. Fuck Microsoft. No regrets about running Linux for the past few years.

  • It's not the PC games keeping people so much. Proton solved a lot of that problem. It's inertia.

    Most people don't care about things. They just don't. Their brains just don't have the juice.

  • Being poor is expensive

  • This could be a fantastic idea, and maybe a hammer blow to the "return to office" bullshit.

    Sure, I'll go into the office. Pay me 25% more to account for the travel time.

  • They have already decided to promote an existing employee. But play the "search" game and screw you

  • My leading hypothesis is "management is stupid". It explains a lot of this sort of thing.

    Greater Manchester candidate says non-Reform voters should house ‘migrant rapists’

  • Honestly forcing them to deal with people who are currently out-group on a personal level would probably help. It's easy to hate shifting, vague, ideas of Other. It's a lot harder to hate Raul, who cooks that amazing dish and tells the funniest jokes

  • Labor force participation falls to 61.5%, the lowest in 50 years outside COVID, and economists say it's not just people giving up

  • I've been applying to jobs for like a year. Very few interviews. So much AI slop and froth.

    The place I'm at is barely hiring, but it's like a rotting corpse of a megacorp. They take months to do anything.

  • Oh no, that Mamdani gave money to SCHOOLS?!

  • Can we make the New York post just... Go away? They're a net negative on society

  • I started looking up party registration of my doctors and I feel my medical experience has improved.

  • Kind of makes sense. To be a Republican you have to have some traits, and many of those are bad. Those bad traits would affect all sorts of things.

  • New York's Mayor Promised Faster Buses. Now He Has a Road Map.

  • Increasing traffic surveillance to automatically ticket scofflaws who block bus lanes, and deploying police officers to enforce rules on 20 daily routes, up from 14.

    Good. Anti social assholes blocking bus lanes (and bike lanes) need to be stopped. They probably have a primitive moral reasoning framework, so maybe punishment is the only thing that understand.

  • I recently reopened Witcher 3, and was kind of surprised by how the graphics aren't as lifelike as my memory. I remember being a lot more impressed by the bodies when it was new.

  • It's all in-group pandering and shitty petro-masculinity. No conservatives should be in power. They are bad people.

  • Launch already!

    Jump

  • I think some games on steam you can just launch from the executable file. I rarely have, because my process is usually "open steam.. stare at list of games.. pick one", so steam is already open.

    But yeah, at least it adds some value (proton magic, recording and screenshots, the overlay used to be real useful when i only had one monitor...)
