I just discovered Alec recently and I hadn’t realised he’s more famous than I initially thought!
- Comment on $1.8 trillion was wiped out from the US stock market yesterday, where did it go? 18 hours ago:
Money is just a more practical way to trade. If we stick with the good old barter system, we’d still be trading one cow for two tables.

1 billion dollars is too much for one person.

I’m going to argue that how you use the lying machine determines if it’s slop, not if you use it
Which is ironic of Lemmy to agree with OP because it is also here in Lemmy, where i learned about making the correct prompt to get the best out of AI!

Yes, the CCP.

Under new slave masters, sure.

That explains why I don’t seem to notice Chinese trolls here. Chinese trolls are more direct and less subtle. They are always reactionary to comments and their responses to criticisms are always PR-sounding. At least that’s my experience in Reddit.
Russian trolls, meanwhile, I have to say they are more clever because they always pretend to be from another country. But with the flailing invasion of Ukraine, they have become increasingly less subtle than before and don’t even hide it.

I’ve always pondered what should be the contingencies if, eventually, Steam enshittifies because Gabe is gone. I would need a huge storage data to locally store my games.

OP is getting fucked alright.

That’s some good shitpost.
- Comment on It's a very revealing photo of him 3 weeks ago:
It’s a deliberate propaganda. On Instagram, I see posts that glazes the billionaires but hardly any posts that puts them on the bad light.

At this stage, my backlog is the retirement playlist.
- Comment on The bosses don't pay their workers. Workers pay their bosses. 3 weeks ago:
You have a point about the patent but since you mentioned about production, my own point that “you still need money” still stands because operating cost is still the major sticking point in running any businesses.

The first therapeutic insulin was developed by University of Toronto. However, they did not have the money or means to mass produce it and thus the patent was sold to pharmaceuticals. Cuba and USSR are also pretty impressive with their biotechnology but unable to scale up their ideas.
I always see this narrative of “ceasefire with socialists” but the end of the day, you still need money. Even China abandoned pure socialism/communism and instead went to state capitalism. But at least China tax and rein their billionaires unlike the rest of the spineless world.
I think the problem is that with the rise of the middle class in the mid-20th to 21st century, everyone had become NIMBYs and complacent having been spoiled by the post-war economic boom and globalisation. Much of the world have gotten private property and unwilling to give a helping hand; but instead kick down the ladder. The 19th and early 20th century still had a large amount of working class who are brave to mobilise against wealth inequality In the post-war boom to the present day, that demographic shrunk and both the left and centre-left had to cater to the now larger and wealthier, but admittedly, pretty selfish professional, managerial middle class. In other words, uplifting the society has, paradoxically, created an unequal society because many have now gotten a piece of the pie but unwilling to give even a small piece to the remaining few left behind.

It’s still funny how many bootlickers there are I see on social media defending billionaires who left because they don’t want to pay taxes.

Some Russians? More like majority of them.

Which will complicate things because there will be dozens of more continents.

India does call the Middle East as West Asia.
- Comment on 103°F in Los Angeles all week 3 weeks ago:
It’s scary and yet many people refuse to believe in climate change. I’ve had argument with a denier on social media. I can tell that the person is not being deliberately malicious, because he did let up on some points, but he’s the type to kick the can down the road and hopelessly hoping to deal with the problem later on.

I have not watched TV in years. Is there anything specific you are talking about?
- Comment on Anon experiences a glitch 4 weeks ago:
Maybe he’s had a good sleep. Children could sleep so easily and soundly. But it does sound like time really is perception.
I’ve had a similar experience except my eyes seem to be open? The first time it happened, I woke up and just stared at the ceiling. My mind was completely blank and it was very peaceful. I think I’ve done it for maybe one hour after realising what happened but it felt very quick. The second time it happened was on another occasion when i also stared at the ceiling. It seems to only happen when i stare at a completely white surface.
I have anendophasia which means I have little to no internal voice. Maybe I have done meditation by accident because of just how my mind works. When i do try to meditate, I don’t get a completely blank mind, but when i don’t even try I achieved it somehow.

Do people actually flex how much of less sleep they got? I never met anyone who do this.
- Comment on Bisexuality released in 1995 and the devs still haven't dropped an update 5 weeks ago:
I think I speak for the heterosexuals and gender binary when i say that the image is the 1995 and Western version of “why are u gae?” It’s the heteronormative society not comprehending the world outside of their own view. It’s either one likes a man or a woman but not both. It reminds me of the debate whether or not Alexander the Great is gay. But as someone pointed, why argue if he liked either men or women, but never considered if both? Now i can see why bi-erasure is a thing.
- Comment on bruh 5 weeks ago:
A lot of folks don’t really think about it. A man could be gone, but his ideas and legacy will live on. We are short term thinking and instinctive animals prone to collective suicide.
- Comment on US will allow truckers to drive 16 hours per day instead of the previous limit of 14 hours 5 weeks ago:
As a non-American, I find it baffling and hilarious that many Americans are proud to work 80 hours a week. It’s not a flex. They’d regret having done so when they become too frail and forgetful at the old age. And all the money they saved and pension being collected will be spent on healthcare and medication instead.
They did not even live their life when they were young and they won’t even enjoy the remainder.
- Comment on UK train operator nationalised by government after 30 years of privatisation 5 weeks ago:
I’m a progressive but i am open to privatisation where it makes sense. The privatisation of public transit in UK seem to be successful. I’m in Ireland and the public transport here is shocking so I look to UK and I think it might not be a bad idea to privatise some routes. That being said, there is a fear of private transport companies cancelling unprofitable routes, especially in rural areas. Which in that case, the publicly funded buses or rails should remain servicing isolated areas.
- Comment on Employers ditching health coverage 1 month ago:
Even Trump before said he favoured affordable healthcare because it means not tying healthcare to employers. Now, he did a u-turn probably because he’s going senile and having been bought by the insurance industry.

I thought we are above Reddit with petty clamouring of points.
