Awesome map!
But! Should Huron-Michigan count as one lake, or two, or three?

Hear hear
It’s okay, we’re just a little more anti-corporate on average than most. Various events that led many of us here have contributed to that. :)
I mean, it’s called a “fake ad” but it’s basically just an ad. The punchline is “buy product”
Words, possibly numbers, letters, punctuation, and maybe some symbols
I got 30hrs out of Animal Well and enjoyed every moment of it :)
Yes, I think he would not call people names, he’d instead give lengthy explanations of their shortcomings and failings.
Pretty sure that’s not a direct quote.
Oooof, I hear that. Things are more political than ever at my work and it’s like, I just want to do my job and go home
The Eyre Affair, by Jasper Fforde. It’s… Okay. Not that great to me, but I’m not a fan of villains chewing up the scenery.
It’s pithy and innocuous though, and not without its charms so I’ll definitely finish it.
We got a ping pong table. Everyone is convinced that if you’re seen using it during work hours that puts a target on your back
That’s… Really passing the buck though.
Nothing is stopping corporations from doing The Right Thing right now except their own desire not for profit, but for maximized profit at all costs. Dare I say it, but if a company can’t make a profit without creating harm, it doesn’t deserve to make a profit.
If Mother Teresa couldn’t beat the charges, that would mean that it’s because a fair and impartial trial found her guilty? Definitely word salad
It’s not just “they make products and services that people buy”, it’s that “they maximize their personal profit at the expense of people and the environment”.
It’s easy but reductive to blame consumers for consuming, when it’s worth noting that biodegradable packaging costs more than plastics that will never break down, so corporations will choose cheap plastic over environmentally friendly packaging 99.9% of the time.
The incentives are wrong. Instead of maximizing profit we need to ensure that profit is not maximized at the expense of sustainability, at the expense of pollution, and at the expense of the entire future of our planet.
Just finished Cordwainer Smith’s “Norstrilia”, which was kind of a charming but innocuous mess.
Now started Alfred Bester’s “The Demolished Man”, which is decidedly not good, though it’s old school fun
Omg they raised the original price to create some puny “savings”? That’s scammy AF
Nerds still are smarter than us.
Unfortunately a cult of managers has arisen to rule over the nerds and they hype with an iron fist.
Book 4 was my fave :)
