He always talks a big talk but when it’s time to put up or shut up he always shuts up.

261·3 days agoDon’t believe the hype. The AI industry, more than any other before it, likes to use fear to rally investment. They do this dance every few months to spook people into thinking this stuff is more powerful than it actually is. In every followup, they backpedal, and when it launches, it’s never anything new.
So he has nothing but empty platitudes while they continue to rip us off at every angle.
UBI will be what they promise while they rape everyone and everything. Then when they have it all, they’ll all the sudden be too busy or it’ll be too expensive for UBI.
I’d say the fact that billionaires are even talking about UBI like it’s on the table is just the redirection while they gut your social services. “Don’t worry about us taking your healthcare, or your food stamps. You’ll have UBI someday!” Pay no attention to the fact that you can’t eat a promise. Don’t acknowledge that UBI wouldn’t address any cost issues. Even if they did make a real UBI someday, it would eventually not keep up with inflation, like everything else, by design.
If we want social safety nets, we need people who will build up socialist structures, not capitalists dangling yet another proverbial carrot on a stick.
No. Stop. Don’t.
4·9 days agoI haven’t tried the meal planner side of things yet but this has been a great app for managing my favorite recipes.
I can’t do it anymore. I used to watch this guy but I just can’t stand hearing him anymore.
Ok few things…
He talks about working 22 hours over a few days like that’s a lot. I’m betting you and I have worked 24 hours over the last 3 days and none of us are bitching about the time we put in. And we don’t get vacations half the year.
and if you worked less than 3 days and put on this many hours and you’re still this uninformed about things relevant to your job. Then you’re not working, you’re wasting time.
Computer programs don’t inherently remove bias. If anything, they obfuscate it. We wouldn’t have less gerrymandering from a computer program, we’d have more. We could require absolutely open and transparent code and data, and that still wouldn’t be enough because the manipulations would be performed right in the open for everyone to see, but it would be ‘okay’ because it’s not illegal. Much like our current system allows for gerrymandering for political purposes, this wouldn’t address the issue, it would just make hiding and obfuscating the reasoning easier.
And as for electing supreme Court judges, if you thought presidential elections and political ads were bad now, it would be 100 times worse if we have to put up with political ads for judges on top of that. It would put more money in politics which is absolutely the wrong direction to go. We need a bigger, more representative supreme Court. We need more courts in general, and more judges to get through the cases that are already in the backlog. Your proposals would exacerbate our existing issues, not help us.
In the same vein, you’re all over this thread exclusively shitting on boomers and ignoring all other possibilities.
Looks like Astro turfing to me.
Which part do you think was a lie? Half of all boomers being broke, or the rich being the problem?
Couldn’t possibly be that only boomers would answer the phone. Because you know those younger generations are totally known for answering calls from unknown numbers and participating in surveys.
USA: ‘hold my beer’
Well I can tell you for sure it wasn’t only boomers that voted for them.
I’m just trying to emphasize that this is a class war, not a generational war.
Nearly half of boomers have no retirement savings. Blame them all you want, but the problem is the rich. Always has been. Always will be.
This just gives them more reason to push further right.
Centrist Democrats are intentionally being obtuse about this because they work for the same billionaires the Republicans work for.
You lose because you’re weak and we fucking know it and we’re fucking done with that weak ass shit.
Yep. And what really drives me fucking nuts is we spent the next 4 years doing FUCK ALL to hold him accountable. We died as a country on that day and most people still haven’t noticed.
