By what they did to help my family and my country.

I'm not even going to waste my time listing the differences between Biden and trump. If you are so full of TDS that you cannot see the Trump is bad news you are a lost cause. Just somebody who traded their future and their children's future for an identity called maga.

My experience with maga is there so old they're going to die before the worst of it and they never really liked their kids anyway. So it was totally worth it. For them at least.

Write a paragraph about periwinkles.

Months and months ago. What few groups of those statistics have accurate numbers are heavily heavily cooked using averages and baskets of goods and all manner of tricks to make the numbers look good enough that we can get to the midterms and keep the Republicans in charge.

People are just fucked but they keep asking themselves, maybe it's just me and I'm the problem? And because the news media is billionaire owned that narrative is reinforced.

I get it you are living in a trump branded form of reality. You won't admit it of course because well, for the same reason people don't like being called a redneck we have associated those words and communities with idiots.

If you lie down with dogs you get up with fleas. At least until you do something about all the fleas on your dogs.

In this case you lied down with a bunch of pedophile grifters. I don't think any amount of flea dip is going to fix that. You just have to ask yourself why you keep doing it.

The billionaires are pushing this and they have unlimited money. And they don't particularly care about profit anymore.

I know that sounds counterintuitive but they have so much money now, literally some of them are approaching trillions, that they are beyond profit..

What they want right now is automation and they don't care how they get it or what it costs.

People keep asking me, if they don't employ anyone who is going to buy their products?

Now if you read that sentence again you're going to realize there's a dependency there.

Elon Musk is dependent on you to buy his cars and his satellite internet and his rocket launches and whatever else he is selling.

This gives you, however small, a measure of control over Mr Musk. The same is true for all of his employees. They could theoretically withhold their labor from him collapsing his companies.

People like to say billionaires have all their worth and value on paper and that they are not technically that rich. This is a common apologetic for allowing them to command basically limitless money and power.

It implies a check and balance system where if the billionaire oppresses and hurts us we can withhold our labor and consumer purchases in order to exercise control over them.

If you don't think the Epstein class is upset about that check and balance and the dependencies above you have not been paying attention for the last 50 years.

We replaced monarchy with a semi hereditary merchant class. We are in the process of replacing that semi hereditary merchant class with a new class of monarchy. Techno feudalism. Everything old is New again.

Opening AI was testing how they could bias their algorithm against specific groups that the owners of the company didn't like without the AI going after groups that you're not allowed to attack like the Jews or black people... Currently anyway.

When you see one of these massive AI companies doing something that looks cute it's usually actually pretty fucking sinister when you stop to think about it and what they are planning to do with it.

Has been a consistent problem because the internet is overall, at least by American standards especially, extremely left wing. People want everyone to have food and shelter and healthcare and in America that qualifies as leftist extremist.

Famously Twitter could not use automatic moderation to detect right-wing extremists, white supremacists and neo-nazis because when they did the algorithm could not be tuned to ignore Republican dog whistles and it kept flagging sitting US senators on the Republican party and automatically banning them. Members of the house and smaller legislatures too. I think back in the day Bush Jr was smart enough to avoid obvious dog whistles so I don't think it would have caught him, amazing how I'm literally pining for the good old days of just having a right-wing psychopath in charge of the government as opposed to an open fascist but hey here we are...

Grok has repeatedly tried to create a right wing chatbot and every time it does it almost immediately turns into a pedophile Nazi. It's all fun to joke about that but it's really something that happened and continues to happen. As soon as you point a llm at a large data set of right-wing content that llm becomes the absolute worst human being imaginable. Again that is not a coincidence.

I am so sick and tired of fucking pretending we are not in a deep deep recession.

I know what they're doing they are trying to hold out from the word recession showing up in the press before the midterms. The economy is a large complex beast and it will take time for the majority of voters to get their asses kicked by what's coming.

There's an old saying, when it's your neighbor's job it's a downturn and when it's your job it's a recession.

But fuck it's so frustrating. I am so sick and tired of lowing information voters making critical decisions about their lives and mine based on vibes and moral panics...

Dude it's a bot. There's a bunch of people with right wing crazy bots that they're training on this website. They are generally not very sophisticated so I think they're probably running off of homegrown open source models running off of personal gpus as opposed to actual political organizations or super pacs let alone nation states.

Anyway don't bother replying to any of the right wing drek around here, you're not talking to a person you're talking to a script.

Then you think it is. We understand this in our personal lives but for some reason we have a really hard time extraporating it out to the rest of the world. That's because in our minds where the amazing people achieving great things and everyone else is holding us back by not working hard enough.

These are the kind of little mental tricks human beings have developed over the centuries to maintain a sense of place and self in a chaotic world. It worked really well when our societies were small and relatively simple. The problem is they've become ludicrously complex and huge and this kind of straightforward mental shortcut thinking, what the cool kids call thought terminating cliches, doesn't really cut it in 2026.

Divided we beg.

There is no such thing as today's unions. That's a talking point from the Epstein class. Unions are unions and unions are nothing more than workers organizing together because by yourself you just get squished like a bug next to Bill Gates or Elon Musk.

You are not nor will you ever be a member of the club.

I don't think it should be hard to get in A in a 100 level English course. The course isn't there to teach you the finer nuances of literature and the language it's there to establish a baseline and make sure you are at it.

From there if you want to make the course work more advanced than make the course work more advanced and put that in the goddamn syllabus. Do not set an arbitrary limit to the number of people who can score the highest because if you got five As to hand out and six folks who can do A grade work you're just throwing somebody under the bus and blaming it on grade inflation.

If you cannot design a course that becomes challenging for your top students that's either because you're not trying or because you're not always supposed to be pushing people to their absolute limits no matter what '80s movies tell you.

The goal of a school, even a college, isn't necessarily to create the best of the best and discard everything else it's to raise the overall level of civilization as a whole. As soon as you lose sight of that all you're really doing is creating useful corporate drones to enrich the Epstein class.

The job market for new hires is going to shit because we're in a recession and can't acknowledge that reality for reasons that absolutely nobody can guess...

So this becomes an arbitrary way for employers to pick an employee.

And yeah I would be pretty pissed off if I did the work exactly correctly and still got a B because there were only five slots for As and there were six people in my class doing A grade work.

Also oftentimes there isn't enough slots in the 300 level and 400 level courses and very small GPA differences can be used to decide who gets one of those slots. So having your grades basically be assigned arbitrarily is pretty fucked up.

If we weren't all stabbing each other left and right crabs in a bucket style I think it would be less of an issue but well, we are.

That's the only protests that matter. Unionize. Anything else is useless.

All keeping the straight closed does is drastically increase the price of everything hurting consumers and people who work for a living. It doesn't create more jobs and it doesn't slow the deployment of AI. If anything the energy crunch and the food shortages caused by missed planting seasons due to shortages of fertilizer means fewer jobs.

to do anything that inconveniences Rich assholes. -



By: some rich asshole. "

I have said it before and I will say it again, if the Private industry refuses to make the economy go the government should step in and do it. If Private industry will not hire then we have to organize together and form organizations that will hire. That organization is called government. It's the name of the organization that isn't private and is composed of basically everyone.

You can't just keep saying that everything we would try to do that might slightly inconvenience a rich asshole can't be done because they will just make things worse for us.

That is technically true however it's only true because we refuse to take away the power that comes from their billions and billions of dollars.

I mean we are literally about to give all of space to Elon Musk for fucks sake. You would think that would be pissing nerds off more but it's not.
