the problem with queer is that it makes me feel vaguely like an old timey bigot using it
just don't say "them queers"
the worst part is that i've hesitated before saying queer (because not sure if that's the appropriate nomenclature in the situation), which then just makes it seem like i am looking around the room and checking to see if it's okay to say something bigoted

I'm still not convinced that we're going to move back to a more spread out populace because of telecommuting/automation.
At the base level most people are too dang shitty at computers to handle working from home unless you want your IT guys driving around constantly to plug their monitors in for them.
but also I don't think the major barrier to wide adoption of work-from-home is like, management style and attitude (butts in seats = work!)
it's management skill; managing a work-from-home team is considerably harder and most management isn't very good at their job to begin with
That is why I said it won't be our generation. Or even our kids. But more our grandchildren and great grandchildren. It would be on the back end of the current social realignment due to automation.
If the rising sea levels don't force people out first.
okay but see I've identified a few errors in your calculations here
line one should read Marinara= Delicious
Line two should read Ricotta = Delicious
Line three should read Big Slices of Noodles = Delicious
Line four should read Grease= Delicious

telecommuting won't make cities less dense
it will just make it so people don't have to live in the city where they work
or companies don't have to be physically located in expensive urban locations if their base does not need to be customer-facing

Maybe...but on the other hands, living in cities makes it easier to receive automated living services, like grocery store deliveries and other things that might increase in the future.

Close. They'll be nomads wandering the wasteland in search of food and supplies, constantly following the herds of mutant cow-beasts.
Making good food just requires a bit of patience. Been getting back into cooking again. Made some wonderful wheat bread. Made some decent Pizza dough. Both yeast of course. Sunday night I made some orange chicken and rice. Was easy just time consuming. In the end I had crispy breaded rice and a thick orange spicy asian style sauce on top of it.
Last night the GF and I made stuffed turkey meatballs and pasta with baby spinach.
I would love to telecommute but even ignoring the technical difficulties many people would face I can't help but feel it really would decrease productivity a lot. I guess a lot of that feeling probably comes from expecting people to hesistate to contact management for direction, which may fall under "technical difficulties" if people just don't like using messenger or are bad at reading emails promptly.

no, see, I'm saying management is never going to get good enough to handle it
companies with a majority local workforce will outperform those with remote workforces
especially as automation increases and labor becomes worth less and less, companies have no need to align themselves to the workers interests
they can set up shop wherever property tax is the cheapest and say "come here and work" and people will come
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

So I played through the first chapter of FFXV and I think I'm done with it.
It's horrendous on every single level except two: evoking the feeling of driving somewhere with your bros, which is mildly pleasing until any of these idiots opens their mouths, and the combat system, which is kind of okay at best and honestly I'd rather play a traditional time attack system.
It's so bad it's embarrassing to play. I would be ashamed if someone saw me playing it. It's also very ugly!
Feels like a shitty Capcom side license game from the early 2000s.

I don't see a full reversal of trend to say us equalizing out to where we were in say 1900 or even 1920.
But a flattening or slight reversal leading to more of an equalization of the population between the two.
Also the automation and such might lead to more conveniences in the rural populations as well especially with things like delivery drones actually functioning reducing the travel time.

telecommuting actually boosts my productivity immensely because i'm not constantly being interrupted by adults who i can't believe are able to tie their own shoes without assistance
but i'm not allowed to telecommute because "other people will get jealous"
so i guess pay me the same to get less done, that's fine with me i guess

You're a neurotic collectophile completionist, though, so your calibrations are very different
I can't imagine listening to that dialogue or voice acting for one moment longer. I think it will give me brain damage.
