    They also succumbed to pressure from DOGE Musk right after the Inauguration, to permaban millions of active users, like me. I had a 12 year account, and a million karma. I’d been active since before anyone heard of Reddit. People like me built that site, and then we were kicked out because we were critical of MAGA. Kicking out all your best customers, and keeping all the bots, spammers, foreign propaganda farmers, etc. is probably not going to have the most positive business outcome.

    Cool, I’ll check them out.

    It’s been a LONG time since you’ve felt that appreciation.

    Always. MAGAs are afraid of EVERYTHING.

    This guy wants to be everybody’s boss of their lives. 30 years ago, I left a Fortune 100 company to start my own business because I was so fucking fed up with being told what to do by total.losers like this hump. I haven’t become a millionaire, but I wake up when I want, go to bed when I want, work when I want, fuck off when I want, and have total freedom. This dumb fuck doesn’t get to tell ME what to do, just because he’s got some money.

    But you feel heard, and isn’t that just as good?

    A lot more people make money than the top 1%. The top 1% make big money, but many more may not make a fortune, but it’s a legit side hustle for them. Get into the right niche, and you can do VERY well.

    I go to my son’s house, and start browsing through his streamers, and he’s got all kinds of stuff I never see. They keep me boxed into the algorithm they’ve assign d to me, and wont let me see anything else, so I keep picking from their choices for me, which only locks me harder into their box.

    Our neighborhood had distinctive split rail fences around all the front yards, and one time, after a big snow storm, we wrapped toilet paper back and forth across the street, using the fence uprights as supports. To a driver, it looked like someone had built a wall of snow across the street. Cars would recognize the barrier too late, hit their brakes and skid right through it. I’m sure they thought they would hit a solid wall, but then it would just silently “explode,” and the presumably shake...

    Thats exactly what happened back in the “Home taping is killing music” era of the 80s. The record companies were insisting on high taxes on blank tapes, which they wanted to collect to compensate for lost revenue on mix tapes and such. So they funded a study to prove their case, and the study found that those who did the most taping were also the ones who bought the most music. These people loved music so much that after they spent most of their disposable money on albums, they spent the remai...

    Monsanto and Archer Daniels Midland will be demanding a percentage of the farmer’s crop because they saved the bees that pollinated it.

    If only they were as smart as you, and they could figure out that chicken comes from chickens. They just never put 2+2 together.

    We might be willing to recognize AI as a boon to society, if it came with systemic reforms to balance the losses of jobs and tax base. Sociopathic Oligarchs shouldn’t be allowed to increase their profit margins by irreparably damaging society.

    I use the same one. If I’m dipping into simmering hot sauce or broth, it’s killing any germs, and I’m not exactly a vector for serious disease like Typhoid Mary (she was a cook). Frankly, it’s the unheated stuff that you might handle with bare hands where germs will pass the best.

    Brownies for $22? I’ve been really stoned, with relentless munchies, but I’ve never been $22 brownies stoned.

    This is the underlying message of all this Billionaire giddiness: they can’t wait for AI to replace as many of these disgusting human workers as possible. They would replace every single one of us, if they could, and this administration will HELP them. If we end up with a 50% unemployment rate, they’ll just criminalize debt and unemployment, and put you in a work camp to be leased out as a Federal 13th Amendment Slave. They’ll probably even shorten it, and call them 13s. Of course, as 13s be...

    He fired them because he knew his system sucked, and would never be roadworthy, and that was the department that would stop him. So he fired them, and here we are. I’m actually looking forward to a lot of good crashes, that they’ll explain away as Sleepy Joe’s fault, or it’s not that bad that a school bus full of children blew up on a fire crash with a Tesla, it happens all the time, or perhaps they’ll just deny it, and MAGA will cover it up. Let them kill a whole bunch of American citizens, a...
