Americans don't know how what we had was built. There is no real education about what it took to get there or keep it. There's no understanding of what we had to feel motivated to fight for it; we have just enough to feel like we always have everything to lose and nothing to gain. What I wonder is: at what point will people in the US largely feel like they have nothing to lose and everything to gain? At what point do we realize our neighbors aren't enemies, but allies?
The issue is that most people in the US have *just enough* to keep going but never enough to be safe enough to really push change. It is a purpose-built, house-of-cards, mirror-trick scenario designed to keep people from having the resources, knowledge, or community to collectively push back and demand something better. Americans also just have no appetite for discomfort. We have been taught to villainize struggle and consider it a moral failing TO struggle. 1/2
Is that a Pioneer FLX-4? It looks like one, but I wanted to check. If it is, how do you like it? I have been looking at getting one of them to start with myself, but I tend to be an overly cautious buyer and love getting candid feedback from people about the things I buy before I do.
"See, the map says it's ours, right there where I wrote it!"
I do understand the difference between causation and correlation, so I can't say being conservative makes one a pedo, but the distinction here seems to narrow daily.
It's in the same ballpark as companies requiring experience with their own proprietary programs that no one else has access to use to gain experience.
And tack on ranked choice as well so no votes are wasted.
I was delivering food one day and the front door was at the opposite end of the building from parking (srsly wtf). Someone walked out a side door so I decided "phuk walking that far" and just walked in past them.Turns out, it was the nuclear research building with a micro-collider, dozens of controlled substances, and access to data that typically requires lots of clearances exceeding background checks. I wandered around for a good 10 minutes unchallenged before some Prof asked me who I was.
I mean, it's compulsory anyway, so it isn't really changing anything besides not being fined and/or arrested for forgetting to do it when they turn 18.
Nah, BMWs at least still have to put in the effort of being a douche; Teslas are just BMWs for people to use ChatGPT. It really sucks the soul out of the artistry of douchebaggery.
Neat. I've never seen a CPAC video before.
Does anyone know what that song is called btw?
Grats bro
"mood management" also seems disingenuous; I think what they are actually seeing and either are either unable or unwilling to see is that it is motivation driven. We prioritize things we feel motivated about, and if we are driven to not care about a thing, or are depressed or otherwise in a bad mood, our natural prioritization wants those things addressed first before we seriously consider other external work. Motivation to not be unhappy > motivation to work.
I'm assuming they've now done away with any way of turning off the AI? Is it still possible to disable it?
I'm still working that job, but I am paying off the mortgage tomorrow and realizing my living expenses will go down enough that it means I can seriously look at pay cuts to get away from my now toxic office.
Its more of a "I don't jump to doing this at every opportunity, but this is a thing that is important enough to do even for someone who typically does not." It isn't a "do so I don't have to" but rather a "even if you don't you should, including me".
Damn, I miss that place. Every turn of the head is another image of overwhelming beauty. Even the damned farms look pretty in a way.
Which poll numbers? Their poll numbers, or the ones on the ballots?
That'll be a point for Bruno
Yea, it's insane over here. Still hoping to find a good way to come back there permanently.
I felt really bad for our server one Thanksgiving; we did our best to GTFO ahead of them closing, but just as we were leaving (about 30 min before close) a group of 12+ just showed up and insisted they be seated.
I'd be tempted to learn to drive one of these monsters if it got me a visa invite.
I would trade a kidney for NZ residency.
False advertising! I don't see Ms Daniels anywhere in this video!
Let me get a visa with PR to relocate first, then, by all means, boot away.
One of my favorite statements from a professor (paraphrased): "Statistics don't lie. People lie with statistics."
As an American, I would trade living here and getting some free Harvard classes for living there and having access to TAFE. (Zero chance I'm actively trying to make that a reality)
But what intern on shafted with proofreading this to make sure he didn't miss one?
There is a non-zero chance I read the title like a guess in a game of Clue.
