I guess I was more wondering why do the name change at all

But I’ve gone and looked it up now and apparently Wally is a less common name over there, so they changed it up to something more familiar.

Which now begs the question: is Waldo a common name over there? I don’t think I’ve ever met or heard of anyone other than this character go by that name

Why do you guys call him Waldo?

but I figured, why not? And left my likeness open to everyone, just like Sam Altman.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Honestly about as bright as posting your credit card details on social media.

Privacy is something you can’t really get back once you give it away. Your likeness is just another part of that

when they’ll finally take the power

This has still not happened.

Boomers are still a massively oversized voting demographic, so vast quantities of political energy are still spent on them.

They’re also typically more susceptible to modern propaganda techniques than any subsequent demographic.

The bulk of modern propaganda is trying to stop people from seeing and tackling the issues causing the problems. If people get angry at immigrants, they’ll not point their fingers at the ultra-wealthy who are actually causing all the issues pricing them out of living their lives.

The people in power are predominantly boomers and gen-Xers with views that align with boomers. There’re practically no millennials in any position of meaningful power across most of the world’s politics. The more radical gen-Xers were never let into the establishment parties, so they languished in the political cold unable to get enough votes under FPTP based systems.

No one can really change shit until the generations go back to being roughly the same size as each other. Hopefully it’s not too late to fix things by that point.

6ish, I’d like 8 but I can’t really fall asleep until after midnight unless I’m truly exhausted, then work means I usually need to be up around 7ish

This might be the most stereotypically American thing I’ve ever seen

This is kinda cope

Practically everyone’s job is going to be automated away before long, the important thing is that production is socialised before practically 1 guy owns everything and has to pay no one.

At that point things end up pretty concrete.

These opinion pieces that pop up saying “ha-HA! Behold the petard they’re hoisting themselves with!” Kinda miss the importance of preparation.

They falsely expect an easing to an exponential curve.

The cat leapt out of the bag decades ago, we all need to make sure we’ve got something left at the end of it all

Nah beard all the way, got a big head

I mean, this sounds like a pretty huge deal

Does anyone who knows this field better than me, know if this is as big as it sounds?

Probably 100-200km on foot, I try to get 10,000 steps a day, but don’t always hit it

I probably go into the office 5 times a month and that’s about 10km each way, though I’ll mix up either using tram or taxi depending how late I am. So let’s say 60km on tram, 40km in a cab

Probably do the same kind of split for leisure travel locally, though the cabs are more for late nights or areas not near a tram stop, so say another 60km & 40km.

I probably travel across the country by train about 6 times a year to visit family and friends in near London, so that’s 2x 3km cabs to the station (the tram doesn’t go there yet) and 2x 350km of train travel. So half that for a monthly average amount, 3km taxi, 350km train. Probably add another 50km of trains monthly just for random domestic travel not to visit my family.

Journeys involving flights probably more like 3 a year, usually to somewhere in Europe, 2x 8km taxi to and from the airport, let’s just say 2x 1000km as that puts me in the middle of Europe. So quarter that for average monthly and 4km cab, 500km plane.

Average monthly totals:

• ~150km on foot
• ~120km on trams
• ~90km on taxis
• ~400km on trains
• ~500km on plane

=~1260km a month

I don’t drive my own car and this is a reminder that I need to finally get my bike fixed. But hey, had no idea I was moving around so much.

Damn you guys are sprinting towards cyberpunk dystopia over there aren’t you?

Shame you won’t even get the cool aesthetic as a silver lining, just more tacky gold if anything.

I’m gonna start pronouncing gnocchi as nookie to wind up my partner

60 years takes us to 1965, hmm

Strong urge to just play “Venetian Snares - a lot of drugs” or “Aphex Twin - Ventolin” to someone and try to convince them that’s what everyone listens to in the future. But I can’t quite figure out who would give me the best reaction, maybe someone like Elvis

Playing something like “deadmau5 - Strobe” or basically anything from Chemical Brothers to people like Bob Moog or Don Buchla, would be a cool experience. Tbh they’d probably love a bit of Aphex

Wait.

There’s a turbo onigiri?!

How the hell have I missed this concept

Peculiar no one has mentioned the music specific *arr

Great, there’s a whole additional angle for getting splashed by a puddle I need to watch out for now
