It’s insane that even before attacking Iran and the AI bubble the economy was set to fall apart because of defaulting of bad auto loans and private credit in the same way the housing bubble burst. Hyperinflation almost seems inevitable as does the collapse of the dollar.

Oil as an industry is too wealthy, no matter how much sense it makes to be independent of it the people selling it can use a small fraction of the money they make obstruct any threat

I don’t care enough to argue the point anymore so I’ll just leave it at, if anyone believes in an afterlife, I encourage them to get there as soon as they can.

To me you have it completely backwards. The fear comes from the unwillingness to accept the possibility of non-existence and ultimately the pointlessness of one’s life that pins oneself into needing to believe in an afterlife. Its not that I believe there’s nothing after, it’s that I dont give a fuck either way

I actually think the way you are framing non-existence is exactly what I mean. I’m happy my existence and my choices are ultimately inconsequential. I can define my own meaning because all meaning is arbitrary. That difference in perspective is the key.

Never insinuated it wasnt a real fear. Just that it was being used against those who haven’t faced it

Ultimately I think the subtext of it is, “I’m really scared of the uncertainty of existence and want a circular explanation to ease my anxiety about death”. The rest springs from that fundamental fear because someone claiming to have that answer can sell it for any price including blind loyalty.

I am, definitely struggling to give a single fuck about anything not associated with my immediate survival. I’ve been expecting things to get really bad for a long time, i didn’t expect it would be this fucking stupid and irritating

Are we all certain they haven’t just been asking an AI trained on Pimp My Ride clips for advice? This path seems to point to “we heard you like AI, so we put an AI on your AI to use your AI”. And only X to the Z can save us now

I’ve come to loathe the term efficiency

I hope they figure out a way to do it with the Xboxes, now that I can play Halo MCC on my SteamDeck my series S is collecting dust. Would love to make it a steam machine

We have wildly different dating philosophies. Friends for me always stay friends. If my intentions ain’t explicitly romantic at the outset they never get there. Additionally I’ve had a lot of deep connections by dating around.

But this kinda illustrates part of the problem with dating. None of us seem to have the same approach or philosophy

This right here, I have never had any luck moving a single person I currently communicate with from iMessage. Dating makes this even more complicated.

Boomers

That does it I’m filtering out that entire instance, fuck you Lemmy.zip, fascists mouthpiece fucks

The fucking TikTok shop is better

So I’ve dabbled on and off with Tailscale for a while and have pretty much all my services besides my video players behind it. Was part of a big efficiency push I did earlier in the year which was a giant pain in the ass so I’m kinda taking a step back for a few weeks and enjoy the fruits of my work and also catch up on all the things I forget to do when I hyper fixate on my lab.

My question is how much of a pain in the ass will it be to move from tail to head

Was kinda confused at first about how Internet Protocol got mixed up in this

Bold of you to assume I’m not happily getting plenty of calories from alcohol, especially the past 15ish months

It wasn’t as intense as the comic version obviously but Stark had his alcoholic moment and tons of PTSD in his character
