I hope this is your highest voted comment on Lemmy.

Let me help you with the cis dude perspective. I’ll explain it to you in a way you can understand. I’m a guy, I know. . . . /s

Oh no. I don’t know how to explain it. It’s just my existence. It just streams out of my brain, through my fingers instantaneously. There is no first half second half.

Although I am a known terrible writer.

Worth noting, this is normal from my perspective. I think all of you are the weird ones.

Nope

I’m one of the people who doesn’t have a little voice. It weirds me out that other people do.

Dilution is the solution to this pollution

I am libertarian-ish, but generally don’t like all the loud libertarian nuts (I register Dem and vote Dem because the things I care about aren’t represented anywhere on the ballot anymore).

For me, it comes to a very simple economics truism: Governments are pretty damn inefficient and tend to waste a lot of money because of the process and bureaucracy. Markets on the other hand, tend to be really efficient at allocating capital when left alone. The times a government should step in is when the market has created a form of externality that breaks things. The old economics example is the people downstream from a chemical plant are paying the price for the plant’s pollution.

From a libertarian lens:

• The government should negotiate SPH b.c. it’s obvious that markets failed and we’d all be better off (spend less money) if everyone had healthcare.
• The government should stay out of people’s bedrooms and love lives, it has no business there.
• The government should use UBI and then eliminate every other deduction, and tax break, and subsidy (Social Sec, . The office running UBI could be one guy sending checks out once a month (exaggerated obvi)

Unfortunately the things I’d like to see from a libertarian don’t actually show up.

Oh man, have a link to the recording you’re referencing?

Lol.

Why is it only sending back dickbutt memes?

I know this is a work example, but it’s pretty good at writing Excel formulas. Helpful because my brain works in Python, not spreadsheet.

Also, when I have a word on the tip of my tongue (I know someone said this already), beyond helping me get the word it can help me out context around how it is used.

Economists hate this one simple trick . . .

Pegging

It’s not a simple issue. It is very complicated. Permitting, real estate, time to build, construction offsets, battery needs (solar’s weakest point likely).

I’m more of a let’s do both, and we’ll everything we can, kinda guy.
