Only big corporations who either kiss the ring or generate a ton of money and lobby like he’ll will be exempt.

The goal of republicans is to watch out for their clan and get their beak wet doing it. If some republican lawmaker or trump can make money off this they will.

Summer homes in Europe go up in value. A new market for winter apparel opens too. Just think to the potential market growth. This is going to make a few shrewd entrepreneurs very wealthy. The planet will suffer, but man think of the money.

Seeing all the cats made me realize that we need to all participate to make the community what we want it to be. It’s clear to me there are a lot of lurkers based on the influx of cat pictures. The more we start posting in ANY instance the more visibility there will be for active users.

All the more reason to make more posts in other instances to flood the feeds with more diversity.

The easiest way to create an internet community is to start with cats.

I stan bottom sentiment.

Falling on deaf ears at this point. The controlled opposition party Democratic Party has already handed the keys to the kingdom to ensure a smooth transition of ^unchecked power.

I really don’t see any value in AI art. AI pictures look like slop, AI music sounds soulless, AI writing I guess can be fine but usually sounds weird.

I just don’t see the value in AI because to me, every use case scenario for anything artistic is justified with a capitalist excuse.

I’ll give you the organizational ones, that’s understandable and not a bad reason. I suppose I have trouble getting behind taking the soul out of creating something just to slap it on an ad or product to sell something.

I’m still really struggling to see an actual formidable use case for AI outside of computation and aiding in scientific research. Stop being lazy and write stuff. Why are we trying to give up everything that makes us human by offloading it to a machine?

Oh NOW history is watching! Hasn’t been watching for the last 4 years at all it seems but I guess history took a little break.

I’ve been laid off 3 times since 2018. The first time was from my job of 6 years that I was pretty set in making my career. I was making money, I was getting promotions, it was looking like I’d have a nice long tenure there. Then came the corporate restructuring.

I got into a really weak job after a few months of unemployment cause the job market was rough. It gave me flexibility but the job itself was low pay and low responsibility.

Then Covid came and I got laid off again. Company stopped doing business in that field.

Found ANOTHER company that was similar but paid better and kept my flexibility. Was good for about 4 years then came corporate restructuring.

Now I’m back at the business from 2018 but under a new product lineup.

Point of all this is: I learned a valuable lesson in having less “successful” work. I learned how to actually value my time and the people who I provide for. At my career gig, I put in so many hours and really pushed myself, in the jobs after, I’ve been able to put my mental health first and take care of my family better. Sure it’s less money, but it’s more attention.

Money isn’t what kids need, they need you to be there for them first and foremost. Money just makes it easier to do things.

Good luck, and I hope your situation gets better.

I think people need to stop asking why didn’t people vote for Harris and as why DID people vote for Trump.

I think everyone on the whole, is completely underestimating the completely apathetic to politics voter. There is a TREMENDOUS section of the population that would sway from Trump if they felt energized to do so. Kamala was not it. Her policies were not it. Her stance alone on Gaza was not enough (but should not be dismissed).

People voted for trump because they: are a huge supporter, or they felt they had a fatter wallet during his administration. They feel burned by Biden and Kamala is more of the same. Democrats have no one to blame but themselves.

Biden shouldn’t have even run, no one wanted it. He even said he’d be a transitional president. Then he backed out and Democrats held no primary. Why would any apathetic voter (especially the ones who were unaware Biden dropped out, check google trends) vote for the guy who made their bank accounts smaller if that’s all they care about?

I voted for Harris but not without reservations. The democrats do nothing to resonate with the left, and continue to distance themselves from leftist policies, which were popular on ballot measures this election.

So far ahead of its time. I can’t recommend this series enough to anyone who considers themselves even kinda left.

I love the double standard. Trump can say "arrest all the radical left" and "LOCK HER UP" but if a democrat grows a backbone and says it back it's "THEY'RE BEING MEAN!!! YOU CAN'T SAY THAT!"

This can either be a really great release or a really crap one. The original Rayman is a gem. It is deceptively hard though, so a remake with potential to buff the player wouldn't be the worst thing. I also don't hate the modern Rayman art-style, it would work pretty well with the original world and landscapes.

Fingers crossed it doesn't suck.

We can't even figure out how to not have half our society be rasict, how the hell are we gonna save a whole planet from our fuckery?

Easy: they like money. The entire ideology behind Trump is "he's rich and I can be rich like him too!" All the VC guys know they can manipulate him with very little money (for them) and get to keep/make more for themselves. He's only a true friend to the wealthy.

I suppose. But on Reddit, I wouldn't even bother to comment on a comment. So the sense of community is nice. Feels more like old forums or a familiar but lively discord.

Kinda yeah. BUT my comment to lurk ratio is still less than I did on Reddit. So even my few contributions are still more than I ever really did on Reddit.

Sam Altman always rubbed me the wrong way. He always seemed like he was trying to be the "humble" Steve Jobs - just as tyrannical and stubborn, but he was doing it "to better humanity" with AI. I call bullshit, he's just another tech billionaire asshole.

With all these billionaires popping up how do we keep forgetting that the guillotine exists?
