Democracy didn’t fail us, corporate media fucked us.

A very large portion of what any of us know about a given politician or policy is from corporate media and they absofuckinglutley have a desired outcome even if it’s as simple as using misleading ragebait just to get views. It leaves us less capable of making good decisions.

I see the problem you’re making, it’s not always obvious so it’s kind of hard to deal with.

The issue is expecting logic to have any affect on some people.

(It’s always worth the effort I’m just poking fun) :P

designed to smuggle progressive attitudes toward climate change, and diversity and inclusion, into executive suites and corporate boardrooms

Ex-fucking-cuse me?

We’ve reached “helping puppies is literally devil worship” from these fucking psychos…

Diversity and inclusion… The act of not excluding people unnecessarily, that is a bridge too far for these hate-filled wastes of oxygen?

“I want to live in a world where corporations dictate the viability of our planet for life, where anyone can discriminate against anyone for any reason, and where we are all completely identical in skin color and culture.”

That’s the Republican utopia? Holy shit “conservatives” look in the mirror and ask yourself if you’re the bad guy here before you go vote. (Spoiler: you are if you support them)

This is exactly what has me irritated about this whole nonsense… People have been doing that since Photoshop existed, but big scary AI is in the news now so we are going to attack it full force because people are using it in the way they’ve used everything that has similar capabilities…

Still no action on our actual issues though, just some performative bullshit to assist the truly needy of our society, billionaires…

Duckduckgo is a wrapper for bing? No wonder it sucks… I want to like it, but the results are usually pretty bad in comparison to Google. Takes me much longer to find what I’m looking for with DDG. :/

I don’t have a link for it, but I read that YouTube is working on a 3 strikes policy for anyone using AdBlock programs… So after the 3rd warning you’re not able to watch anything on YouTube at all…

I almost wish it was that simple. Unfortunately it’s more about greed and the vast majority of politicians being owned by those with real power (money).

It’s not a right vs left thing it’s a right AND corporate left vs the tiny percentage of DSA Democrats that actually want to get a universal/single payer system up and running… I’m not usually a “BoTh SiDeS” guy but in this case it absolutely is. We have a LOT of shitty corporate Democrats unfortunately… The GOP is completely a lost cause though.

It’s such an uphill battle because the vast majority of BOTH parties need the Parasite Owning Class™ to back them, and some count on the extremely well paid board member type jobs they’re given after they serve in government. The types of jobs handed out so that they can argue they don’t accept bribes and haven’t been paid by anyone (yet…) It’s a gross loophole that really needs to be addressed.

I’m “technically/mechanically inclined” as they say, but formally, “professionally,” I’m just a worthless factory worker schmuck lol

It’s in opposition to what is objective, I don’t understand how someone could think if one exists the other can’t…

But I also don’t understand why people were eating Tide pods so…

“Couldn’t we just do one extra pizza party every other year? Peasants like pizza right?”

I believe it’s also largest in dollar amount by a long shot.

Just a quick search found something from 2018 so don’t crucify me if it’s not accurate anymore lol

I have some friends like this… It’s so frustrating. They have no idea how lucky they are to be so interested in such lucrative careers… They’d literally sit at home during the summer and work on things they found interesting. Yes they worked for it, I’ll never say they didn’t, but they didn’t have to FORCE themselves to do it, they were having fun…

Now they’re wealthy and enjoying work while I’m stuck in a literal sweatshop because everything I find interesting are just hobbies that can’t be monetized… But fuck me for not being “valuable.”

I’m really having a hard time thinking about what jobs this would create though. I get the internet thing, as people needed to create and maintain all aspects of it, so jobs are created. If some massive corporation makes the AI and all others use the AI, there’s no real infrastructure. The same IT guys maintain the systems at AI corp. What’s left to be done with it/for it by “common folk?”

No no no you don’t get it, if we just remain on our high horse and keep the white gloves on, if we just say please a few more times, they’ll finally stop acting like fascist children! We can’t do something or the moderates might think we’ve gone too far by actually doing something and we’ll lose them to the childish fascists.

“Inaction is positive action!” -some moron probably.

I always just say “I’d be better if you were checking my prostate” but I always get kicked out right after! I can never quite put my finger in why though…

:P

Was a the grocery store and noticed a girl struggling to reach something, I figured it would be the perfect way to break the ice and say something to her except I was the same height as her…

6’12" Chadworth McChad turns the corner just as I was about to make a fool of myself so I should probably be thankful she immediately asked him to help lol

I see what you’re trying to do here and I won’t fall for your Mongolian propaganda techniques!

God damn Mongoriens! Always trying to break my shitty wall!

I feel like there’s also a “locked out” effect… As in I’m locked out of the housing market entirely now. It’s insanely frustrating as I was just working on a promotion that would leave me comfortably affording the cheaper houses, then covid screwed everything… Now I’d be paycheck to paycheck in a dilapidated shithole in the worst parts of the worst towns around and the way housing seems to work, it’s just infinite growth forever so it’s never going back down…

Not so fun fact: the constitution allows for slavery as long as it’s a punishment for a crime.

Hmmm… Nah, those dots don’t connect at all.

It’s absurd lol my job was complaining they can’t find anyone to work, yet they’re offering $16/hr for machinists that would need to drive an hour just to get here… It’s a joke
