I'm a human being, god damn it. My life has value.

  • What registers as "good" or "bad" art to you?

    Jump

  • All of the above, but I want to extend it with the idea of art being a study of choices. If an artist has failed to carefully consider their choices, I take that as worse than an artist who deliberately makes choices I disagree with. To contribute to an artistic culture without thinking about what to contribute is worse than no contribution at all, which is something I think a lot of people feel about generative AI even if they don't articulate it in this way.

  • The market's chronic convulsive disorder is, imo, an inefficient pricing problem. Price discovery doesn't really exist, most of the trading volume is "off-exchange" and market makers have severe unchecked moral hazards in how they do business.

    The underlying value of publicly traded companies simply does not change as fast as this. Regardless of what you might say about the speed at which the market reacts to new information. In a world where the media openly and solely serves the interests of billionaires and a small outfit like Wall Street On Parade is routinely censored on socials, there's no reason to believe anything you're ever told by the news about any moves in the market.

  • TIL Coca-Cola still produces $3 billion worth of pure cocaine per year and sells it to opioid manufacturers

  • I'm not sure how it would even make sense to have globally centralised bottling.

    Luckily Wikipedia keeps a page on this, and I see there are almost twenty bottling plants in the US alone. Another industry blogger breathlessly reports that coke has 900+ bottling and syrup plants across the globe.

    To your point I'm sure some glass bottles get shipped internationally, but it doesn't appear to be their M.O. They keep a few syrup plants across the globe and many bottling plants and distribution partners who work more locally, so the weight of their shipping media for the beverage is likely to be fairly well optimised.

    Switching to glass across the globe would be a task for local bottlers and distributors, and although it might pose some challenges it'd be worth it imo

  • I'm stuck at home for the next 9 days, what should I do?

  • Uhh I super don't. Best I can do is at least use Grayjay and Freetube to avoid ads.

  • Spend time thinking about changes I want to make in life, like better eating habits or more exercise, then rethink my home and how to set up for long term success, maybe.

    Maybe just cruise Lemmy/all and make braindead jokes at smart people as per usual.

    When do you go to sleep & why?

    Jump

  • 2300 or 2330 usually, up at 0700 to drink an entire moka pot in one glass, later on some yerba mate to power through.

    My kid is hyperactive and I work for an hour or so after he's been put to bed so basically if I don't stay up late I get to relax about once a week.
