Not scared enough

Probably. They could have used their wealth for anything but they’re like dragons. Do you mourn for dragons in stories of knights slaying them?

Well, at the top of the hierarchy is probably capitalism. That’s largely why the climate is changing, why I don’t have a good job, why I need a good job to live a decent life, and so on.

More immediately, my water glass is empty but my cat is sleeping on my chest. I’m thirsty but Mr Meows is so content.

One time I was waiting near the train station for my old man to pick me up, and a kid thought I was homeless and offered me money. Confusing for everyone. Not homeless. Just had a gross beard and thrift store clothes.

I enjoy many social interactions.

Went to a concert this weekend. Chatted with the person running the merch table. Briefly chatted with a rando at the bar. Was nice.

Went to a party this weekend. Had a nice chat with some people I’d met before. Maybe came on kind of strong to the socialists in one conversation, but it was fun.

Lemmy probably isn’t going to get you a representative sample of people.

Velocity is not helpful if you’re not pointed in the right direction, and even if you are pointed in the right direction it’s not useful if you overshoot your destination.

I made this metaphor at work but management is not interested.

Giving an incompetent team AI is like giving a child a chainsaw. Maybe he’ll chop wood faster but that’s probably not all that’s going to happen.

If we know when and where he’s going to be, which a bunch of other assholes…

Why not both?

The ATM typically gives $20s, so that’s what I usually get.

If I was a talented writer I would consider a short story about someone getting onto the medical staff just to murder Zuckerberg.

Maybe some sort of rom-com where two people have done so and they suspect each other of being corporate bootlickers, but in the end they fall in love. And murder Zuckerberg.

Read more books. Read different kinds of books. Not slop on the Internet.

This prose you’ve posted feels a bit purple and forced. I personally find all the comma separated clauses excessive, but some styles do that.

Are you still in school? Take creative writing courses. They’re fun and you get feedback from peers and the (hopefully) professional teacher.

I work from home. The systemic incompetence of this multinational fortune 500 company means I can do a lot of reading and no one seems to notice.

Of course, management is planning to fire a lot of people, including me, to pivot to AI.

Zitron’s point that management are stupid is really important. They don’t know what they’re talking about. They don’t do any work!

You laugh, but this is genuinely how the majority of managers and executives think and act, and now they have a special chatbot that can fart out functional-enough prototypes to convince a Business Idiot they can do anything, because executives and managers do not regularly do much work. As a result, they have little idea what work looks like other than when they look over your shoulder, which is why they wanted you back in the office, and their distance from production is why the same people who were anti-remote work are now aggressively trying to shove AI down your throat.

We are ruled by the worst fucking people.

Good. Fuck amazon. Fine them harder.

We really should stop letting companies buy each other. In fact we should split the big ones up.

I will unilaterally decide.

First off, conservatives aren’t allowed to speak anymore.

That… that might be it. I might be done. Now everyone else can get to work building a better world.

He’s lying. Or bullshitting. Whatever you call it when people say shit without any regard for the truth. Typical conservative slop.

I don’t understand how so many people played final fantasy 7 and the only lesson they seemed to take from the story is “tifa got big titties”

It’s not corporate owned. No profit motive to turn things to shit.

Don’t blame the tool, blame the user 😁

I compare it to snapshot tests a lot. They’re similarly constrained by “good if used wisely” but most people don’t do that. It’s easier to use them extensively. That’s just how people are. They do the easy thing
