That’s why programmers have all those monitors. They’re each hooked up to a different computer.

The thing these AI goons need to realize is that we don’t need a robot that can magically summarize everything it reads. We need a robot that can magically read everything, sort out the garbage, and summarize the the good parts.

I’m on a jammin’ jelly kick right now. Jam on toast, jam in oatmeal, jam in yogurt, jam on… well, that’s about it.

I don’t get triggered just by opening the fridge tho. Usually it’s like “hey I haven’t had this in a while” and I eat it nonstop for like a week until I’m sick of it, then don’t touch it again for a few months. Nutella is currently on the hate list.

The rubber and glue rule. It almost kinda rhymes.

Seriously tho wtf are they doing

Don’t forget the less violent folks who find a way to “separate the art from the artist” and continue keeping memories of the villain alive through his music regardless of how much of a villain he was.

Not buying things is probably the most accessible course of action. I haven’t bought a carton of eggs in probably over a year now. Yes, I heard prices went back down. But you know what? Fuck 'em. Companies can’t just price-gouge and then pretend everything’s cool.

Such a waste. Imagine the fabulous wealth of rare minerals and other resources we could gather by simply allowing the asteroid to collode with the planet.

Now taking wagers for how long it’ll be before one of them shows up in the media saying that Biden actually didn’t win, but the “Deep State” railroaded them into this court settlement.

Being able to say “oh that was x+1 years ago” instead of “x years ago” when reflecting on all my past traumas.

From the article, emphasis mine because the post title was driving me crazy:

The worst projection for climate change in 2023, is that the chance for the average global temperature to rise above 1.5°C has increased to almost 50% for the next five year period between 2022 and 2026.

There are tasks and chores my parents used to do on my behalf that I now do myself, like making money, paying taxes, handling health insurance, etc. I guess those make me feel like an adult.

But then there are milestones I thought I would have hit by now that I have not, mainly concerning family life. No kids, no partner, nobody to take care of but myself. If I wanna go out and party, or stay in and play video games all weekend, there’s not really much to stop me. That makes me feel immature.

Good question for the brilliant minds at askouija

Make everyone’s interpretation of “small thing” slightly more similar.

Me: 👍 🎉 😂

I wish there were more moderately paced e-scooters using bike lanes. I like to race them lol. Instead they’re usually going against traffic and/or on sidewalks. Please avoid doing those things if you can.

What about the 19th century tycoons who paid to manufacture their own veneration through philanthropy fueled by the wealth they unjustly amassed?

I’ll throw one out for COVID, but not just the lockdowns or the immediate work changes. It was more about how the deaths kept happening. And happening. And happening. Yet people still failed to take it seriously, even to the point of rebelling against seemingly common-sense safeguards like vaccines, masking, and staying the fuck home.

In the US, we lived through about 4 years of shenanigans and bullshit and lies from an incompetent federal government leading up to the pandemic. But surely that wouldn’t fly for long. You can lie about the number of people at a rally (because who the fuck cares), you can apparently lie about where a hurricane is projected to go (because it’s jUsT a PrOjEcTiOn or something), but surely you can’t bullshit your way out of a pandemic. Hospitals at capacity. Bodies piling up. Loved ones lost. Visible, real, tangible impacts of poor leadership and poor decisionmaking.

But, turns out you can. Even in the most dire of circumstances, you can still convince people that reality isn’t real. Or even if it is, it doesn’t really matter and it’s not their problem. And there are enough people out there who will buy into that message that it will ruin things for everyone else.

Edit: To the original point of the question… I guess I had a little more faith in humanity before all that happened. More faith that real-world consequences would win out against rhetorical bullshit and tribalism.
