Running for election is pointless if getting elected is your only path. The PSL uses big elections to drive party registration and push their messaging.

Managed democracy doesn't run.

Think of the dozens of jobs the mega server farm that processes the facial database will generate!

My man Larson LOVES desert islands. Man could not get enough humor over marooned dudes on a small beach next to a palm tree.

Keep posting Far Side until we get a :cowtools: emoji (and then keep going)

Haven't kept up with everything, but they've been going weird with Absolute so I'm sure it'll stay cool. Or at least different.

Is Mr Sark a maoist guerilla or a maga pedofile? It must be one or the other.

I used to enjoy his content as an empathetic and introspective guy in a sea of toxic masculinity bullshit. He used to be more anti-establishment but completely libbed out during 2024.

If you want more proof he's okay with sex pests he co-streamed with Destiny (I reported him for hate speech).

Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that hut.

But it isn't a niche area, it's the major focus of corporate investment for the last year or two.

My sole use for chatgpt is to generate lists to brainstorm.

AI and then someone edited out the em-dashes.

All very true. I should phrase it as "the current use of high tech is destroying our brains." LLMs have helped decode genomes. Leaps and bounds have been made for accessibility. There is absolute good mixed in there, but the social environment of technology is unsustainable and harmful. And within our system, I can't see how we can mitigate those harmful effects on education without reducing its use in the classroom.

Not to be a Luddite but it's technology, or at least the use of computers in a hyper capitalist system. Factories and engines performed labor, and humans didn't have to expend their own limited reserves. Now, and not just with LLMs but before that, people are outsourcing their thinking.

There is no easy solution to this, no magic bullet. But virtually all tech companies have a vested interest in stealing your attention as much as possible. Only through a revolutionary and transformative way of living can we reverse course on the atrophy of brain power. Only a system where humans are treated like humans and not commodities. Education cuts, COVID, and "AI" are just accelerating the process that's been going on my entire life.

American "independent" voters, which make up roughly 25-33% of the voting block, are baby brained goldfish. They disapprove of the party in office and approve of the party not in office because they don't have any sense of critical thinking. Sometimes these morons will approve of the guy in office if, and only if, gas isn't too expensive and there's the right amount of bombs being dropped.

These are voters our elected leaders pursue (if they already have the stamp of approval from oligarchy class).

Josh Shapiro shouldn't even be in the conversation, let alone at 57% approval rating.
