@fleshsimulator The funny thing is, you can have a 100% more ordered and productive life by taking his advice and just reading the Greeks. Not even reading his bullshit.
@DowdEdward All of the "AI' tools that people use on a daily basis are LLMs that are good with coding. This made the tech sector puke in fear but people who weld, or work complex office jobs, or cure diseases have had largely unchanged lives.
@giantgio True, but I said mainstream. I have very little bad things to say about the hipster culture despite what others say. It was an *attempt* to revive a somewhat anti-corpo, more authentic, white culture. Was there elitism? Sure but roots rock and folk and indie perspective was good.
@CDMorlock I don't want to sound condescending, but it is so funny watching people who didn't grow up in the Manufacturing Belt realize all this. We suspected this was coming when GATT was passed and knew that we were screwed by 2000.
@HowlingDoom I had taken two years of machining courses for half the day when I was 18. I knew how to run a mill, metal lathe, drill press and other tools. I interviewed in the central Ohio area for about half a year with multiple machine shops. I couldn't find a job. Boomers killed it.
@JudgementofEnma Glad that you mentioned this. Did you also read the part where Yahweh was okay with human sacrifice from the Israelites? Even went so far as to say "No takebacks" when you give me your children.
@conan_esq Actually funnily enough, pretending not to know what 'woke' is, is part of the tactic haha. Also I'm more than happy to define it: a series of agitprop tactics to attack primarily men, europeans, & christians in order to erode society.
@_drawthentic_ Adaptation always happens on the battlefields. Look at how the union solidiers started the war vs what they were wearing towards the end.
