"Someone". And yes, they are.

Fusion 360. It's the only thing that makes me boot into windows. I've lazily tried to make do with some 3D CAD on Linux, but no.

Sweden: Svensson, although the most common surname is Andersson.

Specifically for Gothenburg - Glenn "everybody is called Glenn in Gothenburg", or older use - Kålle (male) and Ada (female). Not used that often.

I know toasters are for bathing, but hadn't heard circular saws were better for showers. TIL.

I too feel like that a lot of the time. The problem with using game theory, is that game theory only works for a zero sum game. This isn't a zero sum game. Making us believe that is part of the propaganda. Helping someone else to a better life does not make your life worse. Our whole success as a species is proof plenty of that. A group of people helping each other is more successful than being alone and trying to fend for yourself. The propaganda is trying to make us forget that. Unfortunately, our whole economic system is built like it is a zero sum game and that is reflected in the values of society and the US is perhaps the most clear cut example of this. It is all lies. We must, however, widen the scope of our thinking. The community isn't just your little patch of dirt. It is the whole world. Helping another part of the world or other people will make it better for you as well in the long run. Even if it temporarily inconveniences you, welcoming people who can't survive in their patch of dirt to yours, will strengthen you in the long run. Even better is to stop exploiting other people so they can have a good life at home and doesn't need to work 18 hour shifts to make plastic shit we don't even need. It's not a zero sum game and we need to stop believing that it is.

If you're implying what I think you're implying, violence is rarely the way to go. It feeds on itself and those who are best at it or most inclined to use it tend to rise to the top and those are not the kind of people you want running things when the smoke has cleared. Those people tend to continue using those same methods that worked to get them where they are. History has numerous examples of when well meaning movements that came to power through violence and turned to crap afterwords because the leaders continued using violence to stay in power. Be very wary of simple solutions to complex problems.

You are right in the sense that change is needed and change never comes easy. I think it is a mistake to blame the people, despite my click-baity first question above. People are just trying to get by and do not see a way to improve things. If you got a mortgage and a couple kids you gotta feed and the boss is on your back with ever more work and there's just not enough time in the day, it is bloody hard to let go of that responsibility and join the revolution. Most people just want to get by and are too tired to do anything else. They are also fed an endless stream of propaganda that you got to succeed and if you just work hard you're gonna get rich one day. It is all lies, of course, but it is not easy to see through all that massive indoctrination that you've been forcefed since you were born. The shitty schools does not help much either.

Yes, people are too comfortable. But if your life is anything like I described above, you're too bloody tired not to be. You just want to get a few hours to watch the TV or look through your Facebook feed before you crash into bed with a few beers to numb the pain. People are still believing in the rugged individualism and it must be their own fault if they don't succeed. (Or some scary minority's fault) It is a very compelling story. Letting go of all the things you've been told your whole life isn't easy and there are very powerful forces doing all they can to prevent people from realizing they've been had. It's much easier to lie to someone than convincing them they've been lied to. Do not blame the people, blame the system.

Old punks unite! You're right. Kindness and trying to do our part as best we can is all we can do. Hope is so very essential to combat the hopelessness, as is kindness. It's easy to lose hope, but we must fight it however we can. Your comment does make me feel a bit better, thanks. You are wiser than I, which also is punk as fuck.

All the time in the world if you can answer my second question instead. 😀

What the fuck is wrong with people?

That's rhetorical and I have a fair understanding about why this is happening. It's just so bloody frustrating not knowing how to turn this shit around and open the eyes of gen pop to this. People just don't want to accept that unless we do something right quick, we're fucked. We might be fucked even if we do everything right, starting tomorrow. And still, pretty much nothing, or token agreements that are cheap enough and not too disruptive to the almighty economy and doesn't disrupt availability of cheap crap from China and other low cost countries with little to no worker safety or even regard for human life. I'm not saying I'm not part of the problem myself, cuz I sure as hell am. I try to do the right things, but far from all the time and it's far, far from enough. This needs to come from the top to have an effect, but most, if not all, governments have their lips firmly between the cheeks of very large economic interests that need their diagrams to always be pointing up, no matter what.

I don't know. If they weren't such fascist autocratic ass kissers I'd be tempted to join lemmygrad. Revolution, baby. Seriously though, people here seem like an intelligent and rather handsome lot with their hearts in all the right places, so I ask you, what the fuck can we do?

I leave you with a pic of my cat to take the edge off.

Yeah, that's not gonna happen.

Edit: feel free to quote me if I'm wrong. Is there an aged like milk sub somewhere?

Yeah, and that it actually is two very different operating systems who sort of "merged" into one some 20 odd years ago, even if the base was NT and not 98/ME. They have tried to keep both paradigms alive since then, so it's a long standing MS tradition.

Did paying customers fully understand the risks, though? Seems the CEO was rather adept at bullshitting. And saying he didn't want military experts on the team because they weren't "enthusiastic" is just a load of crap. I bet they saw what a death trap the sub was and wanted no part of it.
