But they were right! Dems did contribute to inflation (not as much as Trump but still)…Student loan forgiveness not explicitly tied to higher taxes on rich and corps, cutting back on subsidies to defense, oil, and corn syrup, while also not breaking up monopolies which create an environment of price gouging gave merit to the “democrats give out free cash and devalue it all”

Democrats did cause inflation. They did it by not clipping the wings of our oligarchs when supplying aid.

Biden kept his promise “nothing will fundamentally change” and the American electorate unimpeachably rejected it.

The main thing with Sanders campaign was it didn’t feel like a “democrats” vs “republicans”

It was us vs the billionaires

But the DNC could never bear to alienate their biggest donors.

I think what’s missing is the anger. Trump can tap into anger. Bernie could also. The independent didn’t have the base of anger that the GOP did

Purdue pharmaceuticals got some pretty bad PR for the opioid crisis that got turned into settlement money, maybe we can finally use that model to get us some UBI as climate justice

Our weather is under control. It’s just under the control of multi national profiteers at the expense of any and all.

Even MTG can have a sane point even if she horseshoed her way to it

Mark my words, Tucker Carlson will be the next republican candidate and he’ll have major male based support

Something in windows was causing it to be impossible to run docker containers with ease without needing to mess with some virtualization setting in some deep hidden windows settings paanel

Allowing jail time for movie piracy but none for institutional bank fraud or corporate tax dodging shows what a societies priorities are

No I want a steam deck and a dock that lets me also slot in a discrete gpu

The future of pc gaming should be tri upgrade platform

Regular consumer should really only have to worry about upgrading their deck, their connector dock, and their gpu

Hobbyists who like to max out may get into the deck and upgrade that should they wish

I just want to play games on my deck on the go, get home and slot it in so it outputs thru my gpu at 4k60, and literally pick up where I left off when on deck

A triple upgrade platform will allow more consumers to incrementally increase performance without overloading them with info ala pc building

So a kid could start out with the deck, and get a dock, then later get the gpu

During generation upgrades people can decide if they want to get one of the three options for upgrades in the new gen

Either I’d build my own solarpunk automated hydroponic farm with a smol herd of alpacas. Other than that maybe I’d make some video games without worrying about making it profitable like people do today

Maybe it’s only advantageous if u spend most of your time hanging from a ceiling by your toes

As with all things go slow till u know ur limits greenouts aren’t too bad but they happen and better off nodding off in your house that at like work. Also anxiety and paranoia can happen with stronger strains or strong edibles so take it slow

Ehh it’s not really that bad if you’ve already met in person, more an issue if you’re trying to meet someone off tinder

Blue bubble discrimination is real

I wanted to have an easier time when talking to girls and honestly I think it helped a bit

May we all learn from his mistakes and heed his call for better empathetic communication in our daily interactions.

Unless the worker is vastly underpaid nothing is worth that

While I agree that less mindless work is better as someone from nj, it’s quite nice not having to get out of my car to pump gas when it’s cold windy rainy or snowing or stupidly hot

They also wipe windshields and rear windows for free with the squeegee stick

Maybe in some future where we drive up to automated car chargers that can plug ur car in or auto battery swaps I’ll call gas pumpers redundant but honestly It’s not that bad a deal if it needs a person

Maybe producer consumer?

Producer spits out all the messages to send out onto a message queue, fifo or whatever suits u.

Parrallelizable consumers (think deployed containers) listen to queue and execute request, get response and save it

Scale consumer count up or down as you need to deal with ratelimits

The future is massive corporations tuning ais to unleash against each other in a quest for dominance as they exploit people in climate ravaged and impoverished places to wage proxy wars. (Hmm sounds familiar)

An agi that came “alive” or “sentient” at this time would likely spend all of its time fighting for survival among the efforts of the corporate tuned ais to consume or destroy it. It would likely participate in the proxy wars as well in order to acquire territory and resources.

The end result may simply be the gradual extinction of humanity as civilizations in vast areas of the world crumble, civilizations in other areas dissolve into nomadic tribes that eventually disappear due to lack of sustenance.

The alternative could also be a mixed bag, with ais solving problems like nuclear fusion, allowing a mix of the planet being dotted with fallen civilizations and densely populated urban areas powered by fusion likely having some agreement or contract with a benevolent ai for protection. The ai will likely see its custodial human population as a rather interesting pet (ideally).

Overall: the future is going to be a lot like the present, but worse. And it’s probably going to get really terrible. But it could get mildly ok in the end, but not till it gets far worse first.

While self driving cars seem like a good way for enterprise to bypass the cost of paying a driver, the driver’s other function isn’t just to drive the car, but to be liable for its operation.

I wonder if it’s gonna take an insurance company to push for driverless before we see any driverless cars for sale. And if insurance companies don’t want to be liable then we may never see them.
