- Comment on What are they even doing in school these days? 1 day ago:
Well, we have an incoming president that, per the constitution!!!, is now illegal to hold office, and has committed countless hundreds of crimes that we know of and has yet to face actual consequences under our law, who’s win was also bought by a billionaire, which was quasi-legal at best, and the current president pardoned his son. And we have an entire legal system from SCOTUS on down that takes bribes and favors and will overturn any law that doesn’t suit their overlords and oligarchs. And speaking of, most of our oligarchs, have never faced prosecution or consequences for all their innumerable illegal and deplorable actions over decades and decades. And to top it all off, we have an entire police and “justice” system that murders people on the streets or in their homes every day and at worst gets paid
leavevacation for a few weeks for them to sweep it under the rug or maybe they have to transfer to another department. But never any actual consequences except in the few rare cases where we notice and raise enough noise that they have to appease us, but then go right back to ignoring and hiding them when we don’t see.So, no. The laws do not apply to them, never have. The laws are to keep us peasants in line. We live in an oligarchy that is pretending to be a democracy.
I think it’s long past time to overturn it.

Hahahaha. “processing”. Mmmmhhhmmm. Yep. We have all processed and dealt with the trauma of losing millions of people including friends and family and half of our country actively denying it and gaslighting us. And we’ve also had therapy and really healed from having the curtain of capitalism yanked back and seeing the reality and then just going “back to normal” and pretending everything is fine and we definitely aren’t ignoring the exploding inflation & housing cost & food cost, stagnant pay, while watching a belligerent narcissistic racist sexist conman felon still be close in the polls for president despite using a global pandemic to cash in some gains at the cost of our lives, attempting a coup and countless other horrific activities. And the planet is on fire and we could stop it, but a few people REALLY want to get a 7th yacht and go to space for fun so we’re gonna do that instead. And that’s fine. Did I mention we’re all being exploited for our labor and getting less than enough to live on in return? And AI is about to fuck up all our shit because we aren’t prepared. And it could be amazing and do a million tedious tasks people do and let us all have more free time, nah let’s let corporations exploit that too and throw us under the bus as they speed by with all the benefits we made for them. And did I mention we are still arguing over the conman felon narcissistic loser that swindled our entire country to benefit himself and his buddies and got millions killed and whether or not we want him in charge again, or the person that has a plan and wants to make things better for us all. Not sure, still undecided. Oh, and today is 9-11, the day our whole country mourned the loss of ~3000 people in a tragic event and 20 years later we were losing that many and more daily to a virus, but it was “just a hoax”, now get back to work! We need to break our record profits this quarter for the shareholders!
Yeah, were fine. We’ve processed. We’re all good here. A OK. 👌

Ohhhhhh! I didn’t realize the clitoris was in the esophagus. I feel like such an idiot because I’ve been looking around the vulva this whole time.

That really does. But humans aren’t particularly great at naming things sometimes.

Where is the mitochondria of Virginia though?

I still don’t understand why they named West Virginia so. Virginia has land further West. North Virginia?

It’s hard to make though. You have to harvest Iridium quality Wheat and mine for Iridium bars and then build the Advanced Cereal Irradiator on your farm to craft it.
It’s hard to do until year 2.

If God was real the boxes would all fit in a nice grid for any square container. But the OP already has the conclusion for that one.

True. You can’t have joy without suffering, light without dark, cars without an extended warranty.
- Comment on Efficency 5 months ago:
It’s like that because the universe wants us to suffer.
- Comment on Automation 5 months ago:
Yeah for real.
Smart TVs, Subscription services, etc.
It’s all just capitalism doing its thing, everyone racing to sell sell sell.
- Comment on Automation 5 months ago:
Maybe it is human-like intelligence. It’s dumb as shit, but have you met people?
LMAO
But yeah, I guess at its core, human intelligence and machine intelligence are both just pattern recognition, but I guess my point is that calling it “AI” gives people this false sense that it is something it is not. AI has been a thing in Sci-fi for so long that we all think of Data from Star Trek or C-3PO from Star Wars and similar. When in reality it is more akin to a robot arm in a factory doing the same task really fast and really precisely, but it isn’t some adaptable all-purpose thing yet.
- Comment on Automation 5 months ago:
I really hate that we are calling this wave of technology “AI”, because it isn’t. It is “Machine Learning” sure, but it is just brute force pattern recognition v2.0.
The desired outcomes you define and then the data you train it on both have a LOT of built-in biases.
It’s a cool technology I guess, but it’s being misused across the board. It is being overused and misused by every company with FOMO. Hoping to get some profit edge on the competition. How about we have AI replace the bullshit CEO and VP positions instead of trying to replace fast food drive through workers and Internet content.
I guess that’s nothing new for humans… One human invents the spear for fishing and the rest use them to hit each other over the head.

My chevrotain has about 10,000 miles on it, which doesn’t sound like much until you realize it’s only 4 inches tall, but it’s reliable and gets me where I want to go, which is home, because I don’t want to be around people.

This is the real discussion piece. We either always have Friday the 13th or we never do again.
I’m with you for always Friday the 13th.
Plus, never having one again just feels wrong.

It’s been a long time since I read it.
The part at the end of time where all that remains is a dying crab on a desolate beach?
I don’t remember the details, but the feelings and emotions that end of time nothingness and death of all things left is still with me… It is sad and lonely and depressing and empty feeling. Same with thinking about the eventual “Heat Death of the Universe”.
