Most people I know start at 2010.

My friend had one of these. He lived lakeside. I was jealous.

To be fair, regular journalists don’t understand journalism anymore, either.

Well, buttflapper…

Capitalism filters sociopaths to the top. It’s a feature, not a bug. It has always been this way. Read about Henry Ford and JD Rockefeller, John Kellog. The list goes on.

Sounds more like a MAGA. Bots are smarter.

I’ve noticed an uptick in right-wing trolling lately.

Imagine being a twitter user.

That looks like a Stanzo. They’re nice.

I’ve seen a sudden upsurge of promoted videos in the last week or two championing trickle-down economics in my youtube suggested video feed. I thought it was odd. They don’t use the term trickle-down economics, but they promote the rich as job creators and use all the Reagan talking points. Based on the comments, lots of people are eating it up as amazing insight.

Watch Alita Battle Angel or Elysium.

Wait till the meth wears off before you get on Lemmy.

No mention of peer review, so this is just anecdotal.

That apostrophe, tho.

I tend to hyperfocus on things I can control and/or try to learn a new skill. Both are distractions, but you can’t control what you can’t control. Obsessing over those things leads to dark places. Sometimes, mental judo helps. You can reframe a situation that seems terrible by looking at it from another context. Unfortunately, it’s hard to give examples for this.

I have typo’d hotfix as both hotdix and hotfux. One letter can change everything.

You wound me. I’ve been wounded.

Not really. I have unavoidable financial obligations coming soon that I will need this payrate for. I actually love the work I do, too, but I have a distaste for the employer, so it’s a weird feeling. I get to play with Linux and containerization and Python, which I love, and I’m generally self-managed, so the only thing wrong with the job is that, at the end of the day, my work feels wasted where I’m doing it. On the other hand, I use the skills I gain at work outside of work on OSS stuff, so it’s an OK tradeoff.

I do. I’m riding out the clock. I’ve already put the time in and am grandfathered into better retirement/severance benefits than I could get anywhere else. I hate it, but I have a family to feed.
