There is terrible power in a joke.
To joke about something is to bring it into acceptance.
Too many joked about the horrors, and now they are here, all too real
It's a long read, but an important one.

A joke, all too often, is merely an idea testing tolerances as safely as it can.
Do not joke about serious matters, lest your values be made into the next joke.
@NikkiMcR Unless they hit the right concentration just as the weather gets cold for the year, they're just wasting time and chemicals. That is a massive surface area for how shallow and warm it is. There is no hope of keeping it clear without a big filtration system running 24/7
@Acyn Trying to clean algae out of an outdoor pool without a working, properly sized filtration system is like sweeping an unsheltered patio in a windy desert. Labor wasted in denial of inevitability.
At best, this is being used to funnel more money to favored contractors.
@catgirlprostate It is a shame that someone who made something so genuinely great turned out to be (or turned into?) such a bad person.
I don't feel bad for him. He could solve his problems if he really wanted to. The kind of money he got works miracles if you aren't cripplingly selfish.
@tanik_tr This man made a new pillar of the video game industry and he still fails to find contentment with more money than some counties. (Not a typo)
I don't feel bad for him in the slightest. Want to stop being lonely? Stop hoarding and be nice to people without making it transactional
@JonNoorlander The money to cover running costs had to come from somewhere eventually. AI doesn't generate revenue aside from infrastructure building contracts, so now those costs get shunted unto the end users.
Now to see if the bubble pops before entire governments starve themselves out.
🚨Beware! These annoying accounts reposting artists works without persmission are starting to promote their scam brush kits. These are clearly AI images. Please block these accounts!!
@MeidasTouch In a water body that large, shallow, warm, exposed to sunlight, and without large-scale filtration? This could be another Sisyphus metaphor.
If this were black people, there would be tweets all over this site about how violent black people are, and how they cant be in society, followed by an Elon musk "Yup" retweet.
Hasn't even been a day yet and quite literally every top Israeli government official has come out to say fuck your peace deal we're keeping Lebanon AND we'll continue to attack Iran. If Trump refuses to cut money and weapons to Israel, he's in on it and this was a ruse like the last 30 attempted "deals"
