If you want to stop pain from hurting, you have to identify what’s causing it. If that doesn’t work, you’re not identifying the right source and might need help with a more complex solution.

What hot button issues are being deflected away from by the trans/Epstein news cycle we’re in? Nobody really cares that much about something that has really no basis on their own life.

How annoying it must be to the writers making sure to add clarifying language like “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” only to have so many misinterpret what isn’t supposed to be interpreted. If the meaning isn’t clear, it needs to be updated or removed, not interpreted.

How do you incite a Civil War? Act like you don't even need to convince the population every bad decision your branch (any of them) makes is the right one.

“Tipping”: what we call bribing so it doesn’t trigger legal ramifications. See also: “incarceration”, “jail”, “arresting”, “prison”, “law enforcement”, and “justice”.

It probably didn’t help that other states have been rumored to be bussing their homeless to California to get them out of their population. Cheaper than building a homelessness track in their capitalism projections I guess, but way more detrimental to long term growth.

It’s a bit fucked up when the answer is “that’s not enough suffering when compared to the most suffering ever exerted in recent recorded history” instead of “let’s end the suffering, even if I don’t believe it’s that bad”. Comparison is the thief of joy.

End incarceration and adult kidnapping first.

Do you want the person taking your order at the fast food restaurant to be educated enough to not make you angry enough to Karen? If so, maybe you actually do want to invest in education, health, and welfare for the people who serve you.

GPS routing providers idea: get together and start a consortium, use that consortium to build an anonymized capacity aggregation service, which you each can use to notify each other that a particular segment of road will be taken up by a client at an upcoming time. That service

Probably unpopular idea: unlimited data plans come with media fees. ISPs pay a royalty to the media industry for every customer they have out of those fees. Shut the media industry up and get the ISPs out of giving a fuck what their users are doing and go back to being safe

After many adult years, I still don’t understand why the credit industry prioritizes loyalty above volume, penalizing you for trying to get more accounts and incentivizing having more accounts, and also penalizes you for not having enough accounts. Surely a customer that pays

Why is it possible for the branch of government that makes the laws to write laws giving itself the sole final authority to be the judge and enforcer of those laws? Seems backwards.

Video games feature request: either as part of the save, or part of leaving the game, a last chance to document (quickly) what the player was trying to accomplish… “I was grinding the map to get my level up high enough to beat <boss>.” Not AI or the next quest list, what the

WiFi feature request: cooperative redelivery… when two access points have two overlapping coverage areas, but no overlapping networks, one device on one AP can request delivery to any other AP capable of it, until the relay fizzles or the destination accepts the transmission.

Somebody who’s never made a mistake shouldn’t be allowed to pass judgment on those who have.

Why doesn’t Apple use documents (+revisions) for 99% of the ancillary configuration and general running of their OS?

Idea: eMEID, to go along with eSIM, virtual device identifiers that can be associated with physical or virtual devices by the owner of the eSIM and eMEID. Bonus points for developing a strong locally-central device manager for power users that could benefit from having control

How is holding somebody’s record against them permanently and not ever bringing the issue to the majority for a vote (because they expect the majority to vote against change) not tyranny of the majority, and what is supposed to be our avenue of repair? Surely the other branches

The only thing actually wrong with healthcare is the expectation of rockstar, white glove treatment from an infallible corporation, when most of the time all you really need is somebody to come see you, stick their finger up your butt, and tell you everything’s gonna be fine if

… or, everybody applying is unqualified at that pay. Kinda brings this whole problem right into focus.
