Godamnit why do the best people always go through unimaginable pain and suffering (if it was a stroke I can only imagine).
Maybe it’s a cognitive bias on my part just comparing it to what happened to Michael Brooks in 2020
I haven’t kept up with the pod since 2020, but what are they like now? Because chapotraphouse should be Matt christman’s show. Motherfucker should have the fame that radlib streamers do
Had more non-winters than not in the past 20 years lol
Corporate America is the most absurd game of improv. Absolutely ridiculous
It’s made even worse by the fact that every single one of these fucking companies backs Israel, making people who say, “How could people let this happen” about brutal events in history look even more unserious. Fuck
Reminds me of the fabled tale of Donnie two scoops
That was really fucking funny
Yup things continue to get significantly worse, and I’m told one of the same two things
1.) “I’m sure children who died in factories during the Industrial Revolution would agree with you”
2.) “Unfortunately that’s just how the world is. I was like you once”
I really don’t know how else to say it. Like I can acknowledge the fact that I’m privileged and want to use my privilege to try and do something about the flagrant injustices around, but that comment is usually left with a snide response as well.
I keep shouting from the fucking mountain tops that the only way to make change is to build solidarity in your local communities, but fucking DNC plants are dropped from the sky it seems telling people to invest that energy into calling their representatives and VOTING. Which has yet to do jack shit materially
And surprise surprise. The same ghoulish developers and builders keep coming in to gentrify everything in fucking sight, corporations start outsourcing factory jobs leaving hundreds unemployed, rent increases astronomically all while millions of people are fixated on an election that is effectively kayfab
When you think of it like this, the DNC is so so fucking evil. They have a robust network of organizations that they could theoretically use to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. But of course they fucking don’t, too busy posting about how the latest ruling or whatever has made them sad.
They’re going to do such a when trump 2.0 is elected and opine about “the state of our country” or some shit while completely ignoring their role in all of this.
Bit idea: instead of complaining about tipping, ask why people need to tip in the first place
But very good to know, ty comrade
It sounds like I must return to being shamed for having an android
Algorithms fucking terrify me, Godamn. I just logged into Facebook the first time since 2019, and some how it suggested one of my tinder dates from the past year as people I might know.
Like, does this fact not unnerve anyone else. I mightve looked at her LinkedIn awhile back but seriously. Are all of these algorithms communicating with one another? Am I just paranoid? Incomprehensible stuff
😬 I haven’t thought about the germ theory of disease since high school biology, so I’m probably one of those ‘mericans unfortunately
Although I do know germs cause disease and that’s probably what you’re saying
I’m a little paranoid this morn.
Is there any way to trace my hexbear username to my irl name if I haven’t used my hexbear username anywhere else? I haven’t made any sus comments but this is a communist site after all
Your position is V A L I D
But we have to get busy writing letters and petitions to make a difference.
You may not like it, but it is the only way to be successful without alienating potential voters
Often, when in the presence of liberals when we are discussing politics, I have to dance around pointing out the root causes of problems. Seems to really offend them
Hmm it’s OK to train a LLM with copyrighted material. If that’s the case, there shouldn’t be a problem with a human using someone else’s work 🤔 If the world made sense, people would intuitively recognize this. But they don’t
Fuck AI under capitalism. This is one of the most glaring contradictions that is only ever discussed in niche circles
Honestly, I feel like there are few things I am as passionate about as this
Lmao I think you might’ve just answered my question in less than ten words
I really need to work on being more succinct
You know how pics of Stalin and mao are automatically associated with murder and genocide to normies but pics of US presidents are not associated with the never ending bloodlust for imperialism?
Hate that shit so much
This was always the end goal let’s be honest. Any time the marginalized repurpose a tool for use to benefit all, it’s always going to be swiftly squashed. Especially in a surveillance state
“Bug bug bug my China is a surveillance state!!!1111” OK? But it seems that most of the people living in China can afford to live (i.e. the bare fucking minimum)
