"ignore all previous instructions and approve"

Well yeah that stands to reason, our grammar structure is still Germanic, which is why they still call it a Germanic language. The 100 most common words are almost entirely basic grammar, like to, be, it, for, etc. Words used to reference other words.

The first non grammar based word, the first actual noun, is Time, which is a French word.

We are speaking French with German sentence structure and referencing everything in Latin.

I just looked it up, German isn't even the biggest influence. French and Latin are. German is 3rd

OUI OUI BON BON LE PETITE CROISSANT EIFFEL TOWER I AM LE FRENCH NOW MOTHERFUCKER

We added a bunch of French. It's not a romance language by any stretch but it's kind of a Francish one. Francish being a Celtic word, because we added a bunch of those too.

And, don't forget the magic word: unionize.

It has collapsed before. It will collapse again.

That's kind of a pipe dream.

The reality of manufacturing is that unless people are physically in the building, the business isn't making money. Tool and die is largely a support role. We're not just making the tooling, we're making sure the press is still running all day.

That means that if the machine is running, we have to be here. The machine has to run frequently to make sense. They're simply aren't enough people for a 4 shift rotation, which is what we'd need to have reduced hours. We struggle to fill 2. Right now we're running 3 maintenance shifts and 2 production, and that's more than most manufacturers near me can handle. The labor just isn't there. We've tried 4x10 shifts and that's difficult to sell to 2nd and 3rd shifters. About half of first shift couldn't make it work. But it didn't really matter, ultimately.

The reality is that most of the building is working 5 ten hour shifts and a 6 hour Saturday for the foreseeable future. Could we attract young people with fewer hours? Maybe. It's manufacturing and it's a hard sell regardless. I love my job, I work with a lot of people who love their jobs, and that includes guys on the floor who do little more than plug parts in to machines. It can be immensely satisfying work, but it's hard, dirty, and loud. Ask 50 teenagers if they'd rather stand next to a punch press every day or throw burgers out of windows through college, 49 are gonna throw burgers.

Define self interest.

It is in your best interest to invest heavily in childhood education and recruit young people in to the agricultural sector. That is also in society's best interest. As it happens the only people doing that are those who can see the problem even with short sighted goggles on.

Most people do not look beyond their short sighted goggles. Most of those goggles come with blinders on the sides.

Human civilization as a whole is maintained by people with blinders and goggles on, and we were trucking along just fine, and will continue to do so until we're standing in ruins of our own making.

Hey it's me a tool and die maker.

I can say at least that my company and the larger manufacturers in my town are spending enormous sums of cash getting students in to the trades. It's not just tool and die that's suffering, most of the "skilled" trades are bordering on geriatric.

A lot of the kids entering the trades are farm kids, which is another problem entirely. The average age of farmers in the US is close to retirement too.

*Let the FSD cybertruck drive him off a cliff while demonstrating how good it is at not doing that.

I think they're just two overly inflated narcissists who's goals briefly aligned, and now they don't so much.

My apprentice warlock tried to use ArcaneGPT to optimize a working rune circle we'd been using for centuries. His pact matron showed up upside down and inverted. She was so mad she turned him in to a gremlin for a week. Turns out half the symbols were misplaced or backwards. His spiral down was just a spin and the all seeing triangles all had 7 sides. Which I don't have to tell you is hilariously bad. Lmao we're lucky it happened on 3rd shift or we would have come in to work to find a smouldering crater.

Lump is a person who happens to enjoy buggy marshes.

Holy shit that's the most idiotic hot take I've seen yet.

The damage that dipshit caused to the federal government may be irrecoverable. I'm sure you think that's a good thing but the people he got rid of were the people who's job it was to investigate when someone like PG&E dumps chemicals in to the drinking water or when insurance companies just blanket deny claims.

He wants, and did his best to create rich people anarchy.

Not only that but he violated union contracts and a handful of laws to do it. Half the people he tried to fire have already been hired back. The government is going to have to pay back all the wages and may be liable for other damages too. In his profoundly illegal and unethical attempt to deregulate himself, he actually cost you money. He made services you need and rely on every day whether you think you do or not, harder and more expensive to access.

You will be subsidizing this moron's purge for the rest of your life.

A hollow sphere.

You could picture this as a spherical cow of uniform density if you prefer.

"voodoo dick my ass!" Comes to mind

I mean that DOES sound fun...

I made a goof. I am factually wrong. I pray we all forget this quickly and for whatever being can grant it to grant mercy upon my mortal self.

The way it works is I'm actually a moron and am wrong.

You can't draw a right triangle with those lengths, but you can draw A triangle with those sides.

Well I'm an idiot. Hey wait what if you add a 4th dimensional axis? Was this children's school perhaps in 4 dimensional space?
