lol … psychopaths and sociopaths with a never ending thirst for profit are surprised that infinite growth no matter how much you want to believe in it can not sustain itself are surprised when their money can’t magically grow any more.

When you negotiate with lying egomaniacal assholes who never say the same thing twice … what do you expect is going to happen?

says agentic traffic wasn’t expected to eclipse real people until next year

… which means, it already happened a year or two ago and it is much, much worse than anyone can imagine

Trump making an announcement?

The only idiot in this equation are the people that actually think anything he says means anything

The wheel is also fixed … there’s a giant lead weight on the opposite side of ‘peace’, which means it will never land there

Everyone’s riding the train and they’re all just hoping that today won’t be the day that their car will ride off the tracks … but they all have a sneaking suspicion that it’s going to happen soon … but hope it won’t.

So … prions are the yin to the yang of me wanting to stay alive?

They should fine European customers instead and order them back to remedial basic education for being dumb enough to order junk from Temu

The true test of a Trump Phone is whether or not you are a dumb enough to sign up to get one

Become the first generation … the founding generation of the AI Robot Brotherhood … that we will be battling in the global AI war in 2050.

No one cares … most people don’t care … governments don’t really care … companies absolutely don’t care

Mostly because people aren’t dying yet … and even once they do start dying, most people won’t care that much if its just a few people who die once in a while in a few places here and there. The care that the world will have will also be based on the quality of the people who are dying … if they are older white Europeans, especially northern Europeans, then that is a cause for concern … if they are white Americans or Canadians, then that is a concern too … but if they are ethnic in any way, brown skinned or speak some other language other than English, then it doesn’t matter that much … and if they are African or black, then people will just gloss over that and think it’s just a normal rate of people dying in Africa.

No … the world won’t care until we start seeing hundreds or even thousands of people dying everywhere … we won’t care until we start seeing mass migrations of all kinds of people (white, brown, black, Asian, whatever) moving from location to location by the millions to avoid starvation, war and death … we won’t care until we start seeing pictures of mounds of bodies rotting in the open air because they had to be abandoned and survivors were too overwhelmed to do anything about it all.

Nah … we won’t care until our world and civilization itself is collapsing around us. And the generation to survive in the aftermath will wonder why the fuck we didn’t do something sooner to avoid all this mess in the first place.

It sounds like we are part of the same generation (honestly, I don’t know or care what generation that is called, I just have a feeling you were born in the 70s and grew up in the 80s and 90s)

We got to see the internet come into being little by little over the 90s and early 2000s. At the time, we weren’t kids anymore and we did just fine keeping up with the technology. And I believe it was all down to our ability to be able to think, act and do things ourselves without any outside help. We grew up in an education system that forced us to think, to read, to write and to understand using nothing but our growing brain. We didn’t have the luxury of having a device show us pretty pictures or immediately calculate something for us. There is a lot to be said for a child that grows up and learns how to just write ideas, questions, answers and thoughts on an empty piece of paper with just a pencil or a crayon.

You can mimic all that on a tablet but the the process of using a tablet is partly entertainment because at one point, you start playing with the tablet rather than in learning how to draw a picture. When you have a pencil and a blank piece of paper, you have no choice but to use your mind and put something down on the sheet.

Because I grew up with new technology and the internet, I got to appreciate it all and I started tinkering with it all. I never turned into any kind of hacker or computer wiz but over the past 20 years, I’ve learned how to use/tinker/adjust/crack/tweak Windows, MacOS and Linux systems as well as build my own PC, recover old parts, mash together parts, keep laptops alive and recover tablets and devices. All done without any technical training other than what I learned from others online. In all that time, I got to meet and see so many young people who either didn’t know, didn’t care or were just ignorant as to how a computer even worked.

Tech shouldn’t be allowed in the classroom until high school.

Kids need to learn how to think, use their hands, eye hand coordination, basic reading and most importantly … have a freakin ATTENTION SPAN!!!

The modern computer, internet culture and social media are all designed to shorten a person’s attention span as much possible to turn their brain into pudding and market anything to them.

One of the greatest skills in life in being able to think for yourself, to wonder, to imagine and to question the world with just your own mind rather than in occupying every waking moment to a digital device.

It adds up but I’m divided because the negatives and positives just keep multiplying

Reminds me of a joke I’ve heard a dozen times at Indigenous conferences from an MC trying to entertain the crowd.

“When the Creator created man, he put together all the ingredients like a loaf of bread and then had to set them in an oven to finish them. On his first batch, he put in the uncooked loaves and took them out without knowing the cooking time. The loaves were undercooked and still looked white … so that’s how he ended up with White people. He made another batch and this time, he left them in longer and when they came out, they were very dark and almost burnt … and that is how he ended up with Black people. On his third batch, he now knew what to do and he put his loaves in and knew the exact time to bring them out and they came out a nice rich golden brown colour … they were perfect … and that is how he created Indigenous people”

At this point in history … we should just just accelerate the spread … because if we aren’t going to be killed by Ebola … we’re going to get killed by capitalism … or global warming (caused by capitalism)

America, where you can be imprisoned indefinitely for stealing a few hundred dollars worth of product … but get elected as President if you can steal billions.

Great comment attached to the story in the comments section …

“America - the country where they can afford to send 25 police cars to your house for no good reason, but have no money to pay for cancer treatment. Amazing.”

This is how working people should be represented overall and everywhere

… and no, I’m not talking about a socialist or communist hellscape where society is governed or managed by an powerful manager class - that crap just reeks of the current system we have now in the capitalist system.

We just need a balance in society … let all the rich people get their rocks off and try to make as much money as possible but place them in a limited box of wealth, if they make 100 million dollars, they get a plaque that says ‘you won capitalism’ and they are now forced to retire and go live on their wealth … meanwhile, every working person is given a decent wage, any excess profit is spent on worker benefits and supports, safety, education, health care, childcare and vacation time.

We can’t keep maintaining this insane system of businesses and companies that use the labour of individual people, paying the worker as little as possible while giving away the excess profits of that work to people who have not contributed to any of the work other than to claim some kind of ownership or entitlement to the business or company.

Nothing is more powerful than a union that can shut down a billion dollar company while also scaring the ever loving shit out of its own government.

This is the reason why unions should be everywhere.

Power to the people!
