My pinned tweet: Trump is nuts. MAGAs are nuts. The national Democratic figures are nuts. SJWs are nuts. The public has gone nuts. This all results from "the personal is political" and turning every single thing into a moral and political issue, rather than a personal choice.
@esrtweet It's all BS from click chasers.
Over here are your "I run a swarm of 4800 Mythos agents that make me $1.2 billion per hour!"
Over there, "I asked GPT 5.6 to write me a 'Hello, world' script and it just said 'um soap is green.' AI is a lie."
Neither uses AI. Or does work.
@Heretical_Grace@CasteMember Whole people cannot exist within civilization; to be civilized requires that some aspects of all people be repressed. The problem is that we now think we can have whole people but also live in cities without killing each other.
@TradAdvocate I'm a male Gen X in my 50s and I feel the same way. Should have apprenticed, married in my twenties, and had more time to live and be a dad. Instead spent decades in college, got an advanced degree and big student loans for lower salary than young guys in the trades. Don't wait!
@sheltgarner@Prathkum This is why it took Linux 35 years to finally win... Because corporations and their purchased lawmakers spent decades trying to kill it, either outright with litigation, legally through regulation, or culturally via FUD.
@TechOperator As a fellow tech exec, the thing that often sticks with me is how little product or service there actually is, across the entire system, relative to the amount of capital and labor involved. It's mostly people shuffling numbers around all day for "value" that has no utility.
@DivaJilly@JaredAberach@RealDianeYap@nonlinear_james Same the other way. When your SO won't have sex it feels like you're being used for your cash and you're unloved by your partner. Which is why dating will end and the species will die. Because we're all selfish assholes. But whatever, we have doomscrolling so we're good.
@Suzzy0310@stephanegaddis 95% of the dads who send money on time every time want 1000% to be completely in their kids lives. I know, I'm one of them. And I know *so many* others. Fact is that if mom says "so sue me" there's nothing the system will do to help. Judges laugh in your face. You're only dad.
