still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

If we judged human groups by the same rules we use for animal species, white people would currently be classified as *Endangered.*

A 67% global decline over three generations meets the official threshold. At current trends, they cross into *Critically Endangered* next generation.

Biology doesn’t care about politics. The numbers are what they are.

The serious man eventually stops asking life to feel fair before he moves. He sees the board as it is, not as it should have been. He studies the incentives, finds the leverage points, protects his exits, and acts. Reality does not reward emotional protest. It rewards strategic adaptation.

The reactions of many researchers on finally being held responsible for having read the very paper they submitted are... something.

Old sneakily pretends young are granted their same value proposition, to fuel their bitter denial of relentless inter-generational abuses. Old ought to be thanking the kids for not burning the rotten, rat infested house down already.

[Jeff Putnam |✍ @TheJeffPutnam]

It’s odd to me to come across so many young people (17-25) who fail to understand that responsibilities don’t just disappear because you’re angry to think something isn’t fair.

Had a 19 year old kid start at my job two days ago and today he was fired.

Why?

Because of a last minute change order on a job required him to stay at a customers house later than he expected.

“But I made plans.”

No one gives a flying fuck.

Shut the fuck up, man up, and do your job without whining like a little bitch.

But no, instead of doing his job, he threw a mini tantrum and then called his girlfriend to drive 45 minutes across town to come pick him up.

It’s fucking pathetic.

There should be a name for the phase of a nation's decline where the people with the answers have given up hoping anyone will listen to them & are just waiting for the collapse or crisis to come.

[ℏεsam @Hesamation]

yeah, these kids are delusional for not begging for a job on camera in the era of ghost job postings and HRs spending 8 seconds on each CV.

This is what immigration does. It allows every company to act like they are a hot girl on Tinder.

Idea: An anonymous “vote to end meeting” button on Teams where if 50% of people press it, the meeting ends immediately.

“By means of ever more effective methods of mind-manipulation, the democracies will change their nature; the quaint old forms—elections, parliaments, Supreme Courts and all the rest—will remain. The underlying substance will be a new kind of non-violent totalitarianism. All the traditional names, all the hallowed slogans will remain exactly what they were in the good old days. Democracy and freedom will be the theme of every broadcast and editorial—but democracy and freedom in a strictly Pickwickian sense. Meanwhile the ruling oligarchy and its highly trained elite of soldiers, policemen, thought-manufacturers and mind-manipulators will quietly run the show as they see fit.”

[JACK OF FACES 🎭 @JackOfFaces]

The speaking of truth is reserved for madmen and jesters. Everyone else will be killed for the truth.

The formation of truth is reserved for the disenfranchised, those stricken with artistic depth and melancholy, anyone else would be killed by the truth.

The propagation of truth is reserved for the faithful and the innocent, the boldest of dreamers - everyone else falls short of the truth.

Prediction: The replication crisis will unfold like #MeToo. Everyone in science knows how bad it is, but nobody wants to speak first. Then it all comes crashing down.

EU & UK both planning to ban VPNs for under 16s, which will inevitably require age verification / digital ID. This is exactly why I oppose the location dox feature btw, one more step toward total deanonymization. It puts EU posters at risk; ~25% of all X users are European.

Nothing reaffirms the anarcho-capitalist ethos of Bitcoin like "we're redistributing Satoshi's coins to insiders ahead of launch".
