  • Not to sound like one of the ads or articles but I vice coded an iOS app in like 6 hours, it's not so complex I don't understand it, it's multifeatured, I learned a LOT and got a useful thing instead of doing a tutorial with sample project. I don't regret having that tool. I do regret the lack of any control and oversight and public ownership of this technology but that's the timeline we're on, let's not pretend it's gay space communism (sigh) but, since AI is probably driving my medical care decisions at the insurance company level, might as well get something to play with.

  • America doesn't do free market capitalism it does late stage capitalism, where profits do in fact need to be record high every quarter, even if that means people are gonna die (like 10m people becoming uninsured, plus us borrowing a bunch of money from China, so we can give more to the billionaires that own us and don't need it).

  • Last year on the 4th, I was walking home from the big fireworks show, and I saw a teenager on a scooter, who was briefly crouching down and not being safe. But he came up beside a lady and surprised her, and she swatted at him and tried to push him over, which would have crashed him into several people walking. More than just a startle response, and the kid stopped, looked back, angry - but he was a black teenager and there's this white lady and her beefy white boyfriend/husband staring him back, so he turns and disappears back into the crowd.

    And I'm instantly furious.

    "That's assault," I told her.

    "Mind your own fucking business" she says. Several other people are watching.

    Thankfully my husband and her husband pulled us in different directions and the crowd separated us.

    But I was so fucking angry, and that lady looked like she had started a fight or three in her life. Her boyfriend looked like he wasn't happy to be there in that moment.

    So yes, but it has to be something serious.

  • And our rates of intestinal cancer have been rising steadily to the point where now it's a common killer, so we've become afraid of it in our quest to live long, pain-free lives.

    Things change as we learn. Why we don't use lead in our pipes anymore. Safe, biocompatible plastic only.

  • More than just grift... this is the new militant wing of MAGA. They're a new branch of armed forces that operate entirely on our soil. We've got concentration camps opening, we've got a MASSIVELY funded brown-shirts, and dark tech civilian-profiling AI behind all that... This is pretty much my worst fears from last November coming to life.

  • There are other causes here.

    They've been talking for a while about how the low participation in dating by Gen Z women is because they're tired of being the entire support system for men experiencing a loneliness epidemic.

    It's a lot of pressure for the women to be under, and so they're withdrawing.

    I'm guessing this is one of the driving forces as well. Lack of real, emotionally intimate human connections around them. Many men are quite fucked in that regard right now.

  • There are only a few outcomes that would lead down that road, and while I hope for one of them, I am pretty convinced they'll all die happy and rich in their warm beds of old age after getting lots of plastic surgery and riding on lots of jets and jetskis

  • Actually, the IRS is experimented with a psychological means of making people feel like they’re donating to certain things, Apparently, in focus groups, it makes people suddenly a lot less pissed about paying income tax if they can say “this goes to national defense” or “this goes to education.”

    Problem is you can’t actually give people a choice, just the illusion.

  • I got really into Six Feet Under 20 years ago. I kind of feel like The Good Place was like it's surreal, light-hearted successor in some way. Life, death. One is messy and chaotic and dramatic and awful. Then death happens and everything gets really weird.
