That’s neat. They’re doing a genocide in my county, so my attention is limited

But that is a neat fact

Me, off in the corner believing debt is immoral

Real bread. It can be very simple, yeast, sugar, salt, water, but most importantly some nice unbleached flour

So, homemade bread is best. Always. If you live in a civilized county it might be different, but if the bread wasn’t prepared and baked today without preservatives… Do it yourself. It will be on another level

Those are hackable too through

I have passwords I don’t care about, passwords I keep on the manager, and then important ones I enter manually every time

Because there’s a network of powerful pedophiles that control most of the world. America and Israel are both fully under their boots

It’s that simple

You should be more terrified. And also more glad

Justice was always fake. Justice is just consequences imposed by the state

But I guess it was better than just ICE

No, no, no… That’s socialism

Socialism is when anything happens, and you can’t tell me who gets rich off it

I think the libertarian left quadrant is the only valid one, and it’s become very obvious at this point

The global economy is this monster of debt and overly clever math that is actively collapsing, there’s no fixing it, and even if we did somehow, each boom-bust is exponentially larger than the last one

And if you take the economy out of the equation, it’s a really simple question. Do you want people to suffer or not? Are you pro-horrors beyond comprehension, or do you prefer less suffering?

So yep… We should all be calling them the billionaires at this point

Well, the cars themselves weren’t racist though

Progress!

If you got laid off for your ethics, it’s probably a good thing in the long run

Would you rather have a rough time now, or slowly be hollowed out inside over the course of years before you get screwed over anyways?

Ethics don’t help you, but lack of ethics catches up with you. For most people, they don’t even benefit much before the other shoe drops

Self examination. Question and challenge your beliefs constantly. Dig into anything that makes you uncomfortable especially

If you’re not growing, your views are not getting closer to the truth. There is no end point, only growth

What do you mean? Any AI can replace any knowledge worker. You just fire the worker and say AI will do it, easy

Look around… Running a corporation isn’t about doing things or making things anymore, it’s about the stock price. And consulting companies have convinced investors that layoffs are so hot and rich

If you haven’t noticed, the quality of everything has been plummeting since COVID. They don’t care about tomorrow problems, just extracting as much wealth as they can before it all comes crashing down

It’s not real, so empathy is not required. Cartoons often have horrifying implications if you look too closely, because they’re not trying to represent reality

If you’re putting yourself in the place of the mother pig, you’re zoomed in to far. The absurdism is in the situation

Think of it this way, if the reason for the child dying was making some parallel to something real, like splitting the family due to deportation… That’s something grounded in reality, it would be horrible

But there is no situation where doctors turn children into meat as a service. The premise is absurd. There’s no danger a real person would ever go through this, this is pure fancy

The mother’s reaction isn’t to laugh at her pain, it’s to let us sit with the moment and let the joke land

That is a weird aspect… Like the mental gymnastics required to subvert the actual message of Jesus requires so much magic and hundreds of years of killing anyone who read it unguided

Well I’d take the destinations on the Shinkansen for wherever I’m going now…

I think Chinese food spread was more organic, they helped each other immigrate, shared recipes, and acted almost like a franchise in how new restaurants were chosen in unserved areas and given a general playbook

And then the Thai government did it more formally, Korean culinary movement copied the success (or maybe the other way around)

But that’s a response to “they took our jorbs!”. It’s a reframing for immigrants targeted at the reactionaries. But it is the reality - immigrants, particularly undocumented or agricultural visa recipients, are the bedrock of our society

It’s terrible that they are in such unethical conditions. It’s terrible that they have a carve out for child labor for seasonal farm workers. The entire power dynamic is akin to indentured servitude at best

But what we have to do is give them legal status and protections first.

They are not working the worst jobs because that’s what we tell them they can be, they’re working the worst jobs because they’re extra exploitable

There are no adults. I learned this early on, and I will interrupt you mid sentence to nail this down if you say it in my presence.

There’s just some lies so toxic I won’t have them spoken in my presence

I’m not sure you get the problem here

You can talk to an llm at any moment of any day. They will engage with you endlessly. They’re becoming the front end for search, and at some point might become the primary interface for your device

It’s a huge problem if they manage to make it a propoganda tool, and that’s the goal here
