I legit think people can have an addiction to fear and loathing
They can’t ever relax and have faith for better days ahead
There’s always got to be something awful here today and something worse around the corner
Always looking at the sky waiting for it to fall
@matthewmaddock In my case - they did not properly apply my estimated quarterly tax payments.
There have been multiple times also in which the portal for making estimated tax payments has been down for weeks at a time.
This can operate so much better.
@girdley Seeing where valuations have gone
Its not a crazy proposition for a big AI to buy out major B2B SaaS
You still need deterministic workflow and standardized data models for AI to integrate to
@AoverK I’ve noticed a lot of Ace stores will show the name and face of the store franchise owner.
Small detail - but says something about who’s in charge and why
@matthewmaddock You could instead have a provision that gives residents free or heavily discounted solar panels at home.
This way you actually expand grid capacity
@matthewmaddock I think you first need to establish a standardized assessment for data centers
I would propose you require them to report the attributable ARR of the facility. Given that tends to be bw 100-200 million - your estimate to eliminate residential property tax is not far off
@lthlnkso I just don’t think its worth giving up AI for this.
Nobody wants Almond Joys. How and why are they shoving this down our throats??
These destroy the character of the candy aisle and every Halloween
#NoAlmonds
@lthlnkso I’m not anti-almond. I actually enjoy almonds from time to time.
But they don’t taste *that* great. And I don’t think we should destroy our rivers and farmlands just to subsidize Big Nut.
I think we should have an almond moratorium. We didn’t ask for all these almonds!
@TomLeonard28 Hey Tom
Data centers aren’t to blame for energy shortages. Market forces completely separate from data centers and bad energy policy is.
Data center moratoriums are a CCP psyop. Sorry to see you were a victim.
@jaeporeon@TaylorLorenz A bunch of boomers and other similar provincal minds don’t want to live in a growing town/city with a tangible industry at their doorstep
They want a quiet tomb they can die in. No new housing. No new power plants. No data centers. No new parks, zoos, arenas. No new roads.
@girdley The worst advice we can give to young adults is to neglect AI entirely.
Imagine telling kids in the 90s that email and MS Excel were fad technoglogies
@m_tahir05@garrytan AI Data Center water usage realistic comparsion is to golf courses
Big enough to require planning and demand sustainability commitments
But hardly draining all the rivers, lakes, aquifers and destroying all the farmland
@Founder_Mode_ IBM has a remarkable ability to be a first mover in tech market - only to be ultimately outdone in that new tech market by a competitor created by former IBM employees
You can trace the trend through PCs, enterprise apps, internet, blockchain, AI. Incredible
dating apps are the final boss of modern society
you have no idea in how much danger you are if you use them
the developers' intent is not to help you find a kindred spirit
but to prey on your weaknesses and reduce you to a data point for big data
everything belongs to the company - every single like, text, photo, deleted photo, political views, racial bias, everything can be monetized, packaged, deanonymized and sold off like a subprime mortgage loan
you are fodder for the algorithmic behemoths and a palantir node, biomass to be harvested and presented at a quarterly meeting
once a person's basic needs are met and being surrounded by plenty becomes the norm, rather than the exception, the mind wanders to the depths of the App Store
somewhere in the middle of the maslowian needs pyramid lies the desire to be seen as a real human being, loved and accepted for who you are
a successful offline encounter mediated by a dating app means losing a subscriber
unlike other social media platforms, there is no upside in successful encounters from a revenue-generating perspective - there's no revshare like on X
Match Group (Tinder, Hinge, bunch of other garbage on the app store) made $3.4B in revenue in 2025
the biggest lie?
unlike with traditional casinos -"most" you can financially lose here is $50 a month or whatever they charge for the premium membership
WRONG
you actually pay with your soul, chipped away piece by piece with each and every swipe and desperate hail mary text (regardless of ur gender)
the house always wins, and the house is publicly traded on NASDAQ - think about that for a moment
just go to a fucking bar or a park people
its not rocket science
happy easter
