The Snark Urge

That would involve having a media environment that isn’t controlled by billionaires who are highly involved in manufacturing consent for regressive policies.

Do you think I would sit here and try to make fetch happen if there was any chance you could stop me? Fetch happened 25 minutes ago.

It’s long past time to flush these turds

I can make a hamburger and fries in like ten minutes active cooking time for £3, and it’ll have proper beef and be perfect.

What is even happening at Burger King?

It’s fetched, but not very far

Agreed that the position should be subject to drug testing. You have to be sober as a cat to pilot a commercial plane, but a speed junkie can have nukes? Insane.

The HR sector are a blight on humanity. They’re the HOA of corporate departments.

Oh shit, of course Sheogorath shows up in this thread

Read the comments under this post. You will surely not regret learning every bleak and twisted thing Lemmy users can think of

Fuck the junta

The bullet hell thing has firm Axiom Verge vibes

It’s a temporary first world problem. Either aging therapy breakthroughs will kick the can until after we destroy society some other way, or we’ll try your Logan’s Run thing (except by accident and even stupider than we’re imagining)

What a horrid book

I wish it was as simple as that, because I want the same thing. I just hate how American and Chinese auto industries seem very hand in glove with the government, albeit to varying degrees and with differing dynamics. It’s unsavoury in either case.

Edit: Everyone who responded to me had good opinions, I have nothing to add or take away

This kind of ramp up takes time to come to fruition. It’s not like we can just earmark the funds and suddenly be prepared for Russia’s future designs on the Baltics. We’ve got to (at minimum) keep them busy with Ukraine for as long as possible, and ideally get Ukraine free and clear ASAP ahead of a NATO bid. Especially as a Russian defeat would hopefully leave no opportune moment for China to take on further territorial ambitions. These things are all connected. Lot more lives on the line than most realize.

Skin in the game has a way of bringing reality into sharp relief, don’t you find?

Anecdotally, with Gen AI I’ve been able to get 30 billable hours of work done in about 12 this week. I had to break down a detailed 320 page document. The thing is, I am good enough at my job that I can do that on my own. The difference with AI is that the final product is neater, and I’m not as mentally drained/carpal tunneled afterwards. Bottom up automation, for the worker’s benefit only, is the only kind I like.

The moistiverse

It’s the newest ARG, a Get Out / The Purge crossover where half the population pretends laws don’t exist and the other half has to try to keep their democratic institutions! Hijinks will ensue in this surreal tragicomedy Asshole Reality Game, brought to you by Koch Brothers ©!

I had really hoped that the video game industry would use its royalty function to give developers a cut of the secondary market. It would naturally incentivize them to slow down their development cycle, and make games that stand the test of time. Selling games with this technology could have been a virtuous cycle of developers having a vested interest in their work beyond simply selling DLC.

Well, hominids made hand axes for countless aeons without ever really using them. I guess I shouldn’t act too shocked.
