Whoever you vote for will be bribed lobbied until they don’t represent you anymore, assuming they weren’t already compromised before even entering office.

This post is based on a false premise. These people aren’t unemployable, they’re being actively rejected so that the available labor pool remains sizeable and desperate. The automation hype is just that, hype. Just like the gig economy, it’s merely a way to devalue labor and exploit it while selling the idea as innovation. Some evidence: if automation was really going to make so many people unemployable, then why is the news freaking out over the declining birth rate? Surely if automation is going to take over so much work, we wouldn’t have to worry about who will take care of the elderly.

I can’t right meow, I’m at work.

Looking forward to Tesla reporting Q2 earnings next month. I assume another round of disastrous numbers paired up with some vaporware distraction. Perhaps they can keep this charade going, but at some point reality will catch up.

We should’ve gotten a 4-day work week decades ago. Now it should be a 3-day work week at most and I’m being generous. The capitalists are always screeching about the low birth rate, but if people were working 3 days a week and making a decent living off that time, it would help the birth rate because then a household with two working parents could be scheduled on different days and alternate staying home with the child, plus have a shared day off every week.

Anyway, that’s just a selling point to make to the capitalists. Whether or not it helps with the birth rate doesn’t matter as much as the fact that we’re owed shorter work weeks thanks to all the blood, sweat, and tears that labor has put into making the world as wealthy as it is now. What’s the point of all this work if not to improve our standard of living? Technology making our lives better is hitting diminishing returns and now it’s often not making our lives better or it’s even making our lives worse.

It already jumped up about 10% on monday simply because the service launched. Even if the service crashes and burns, they’ll jump to the next hype topic like robots or AI or whatever and the stock price will stay up.

Oh right, I forgot that history started on October 7th.

Iran is simply countering the terrorist state known as israel.

Iran has the right to defend themselves and israel has proven again that Iran is in need of this defense.

I think at this point Android is the king of operating systems in terms of what the majority of consumer devices run. Perhaps the path forward is people plugging their phone into a dock and being presented with a more productive interface.

The problem is that israel uses its citizens as human shields.

It’s fine, they’ll fix these issues in time for the robotaxi rollout ten years from now.

What’s that? They’re planning on launching the robotaxis at the end of this month? Well then.

I’m grateful I have the basic technical knowledge of how to install an adblocker. 🙏

Democrats had no problem ignoring voters pleading with them to stop supporting genocide.

Completely nude?

The information is freely available because you can do nothing about it. The student protests about israel were shut down. If it was deemed a greater threat, then even more violence would have been used.

Oh yeah, that’s another thing! They made it tedious to make progress, probably in an attempt to squeeze out more money, but I ended up just losing motivation for actually learning because it became a drag.

That’s a shame. Duolingo was never great for learning kana, so I guess they thought to use it more in lessons, but they should’ve just improved the dedicated kana lessons instead. I had learned kana before using duolingo so it was a smooth transition to take on sentences introducing more and more kanji. It sucks that they’re just making things worse since there were some nice things about the app before.

Top of one pyramid scheme to another.

I wouldn’t know. I shop at aldi, so the less variety is expected.
