Geek. Nerd. And happy.

Not the bassist from Rancid.

Remember the Bluesky Rule: “Don’t engage, just block.”

And don’t look for who’s blocking you – knowledge is not always a blessing.
But technology already does exactly what it is asked. The problem is the user isn’t always in control.

Technology can’t ask for consent, and it certainly isn’t responsible for honoring user wishes.

It’s the people who make the technology. Assigning blame to the blameless dodges the problem.

That piece read like it was straight out of The Onion. No, that isn’t fair.

Like it was straight out of the Babylon Bee.

Please don’t tell me you are referring to “And Another Thing…”

So we build the machines in the US, too!

Wait, there are tariffs on steel imports? Grab those pickaxes, folks. Time to get mining!

Wait, the US is entire populated by passengers on the “B” Ark? Oops.

(“What’s a B Ark”? Oh sweet summer child, time to read a most wonderful trilogy of five books.)

Before the checks go out you have to deduct:

Benefits (for the FTEs)
Cost of Goods Sold (cardboard is cheap, right? Right…?)
Sales expense (including freight to distribution centers)
Marketing/eCommerce
Distribution centers
Freelance Artists
And and and….

Oh, don’t forget that C-suite. 😅

Wow. Just looked further at the report I linked.

30+ full-time staff (split between FTE and contract) plus a few part-time.

Wow. Think about this number: 116,666.67. That’s how much gross revenue SJG generated per F/T in 2023. Not a bad salary!

Except…

Dude. I’m 2023 GROSS revenue was $3.5 million. Not down by 3.5. It was just $3.5 million.

That’s all the money flowing in BEFORE cost of goods. And marketing. And sales. And logistics. And And And And.

C-suite? How about C-closet?

I just remember us upset when one of the six episodes they showed in the US was preempted.

For SPORTS.

Did I miss a post of yours, Josh?

I appreciate what you are saying Jason, but the source you referenced is close enough to showing that 10-1 order of magnitude ratio.

By Accounts (proxy to # of people playing) D&D 5e is at 58.44% against Call of Cthuthu at 6.57%. 8.9-to-1 ratio.

ctrl-n facebook dot com. I’m obviously an old.

Interestingly I only do this at work. Old and slacking on the company dime.

What do you mean by “I haven’t seen that boat movie Titanic?”

It isn’t even a boat!
