It’s to be expected. My theory is that millennials grew up late enough that they had access to the early Internet, so they got exposed to all kinds of strange cultures and had to learn tolerance and acceptance.

The younger generations grew up with an internet dominated by mega corporations, and algorithmic feeds. Unfortunately hostile states and other bad actors have been very effective at exploiting these mechanisms, causing a strong right wing shift simply due to exposure.

Your brain is strongly colored by what it consumes, of course.

Or anything freeze dried!

And because they often are included in food products, and there’s a fair amount of regulation around mixing non-food with food.

The guy in the blue shirt is a dirty liar.

To be fair, I think the majority of stand up comedians are also painful to listen to.

But you’re right, this is an exaggerated caricature of reality, like Monty Python or the Three Stooges but far less so.

Indeed, it turns out that high quality content is high effort, and therefore has a weaker ROI. I know it’s simply game theory, I just hate this particular game.

When will humans stop enjoying painfully staged videos like this? Like, who tilts the object away from themself but towards the camera to check why it’s not working?

Two-party systems unfortunately always settle into this problem.

Definitely vote for Kamala now, but remember that real change begins at the local level - try to support policies and candidates who approve of ranked choice voting.

What’s worse is this looks like butted mail instead of riveted mail, so it’ll have lots and lots of little snaggy pokey bits.

When I became atheist, I figured “if God doesn’t exist, we’ll have to make heaven ourselves.”

And I believe we’ll do it, given enough time (probably hundreds/thousands of years).

As long as it doesn’t generate any negative externalities, sure. That’s a huge alignment problem though.

I’m not so sure about that. When we compare medieval wealth inequality to now, it was worse back then. Ew, a link to Reddit, but it’s got good info.

Not saying we don’t need to fix things… we need to destroy even the concept of billionaires. While things are bad, and trending worse, they’re not yet “literally eat the rich” bad.

You’re in for a treat, nearly every episode in the newest season is delightful.

I use AI every day! (The little CPU bad guys in my game play against me.)

Pretty much the whole plot of Zom 100.

Rioting never solved anything, except women’s suffrage, civil rights, the labor movement, gay marriage, and so forth.

History really emphasizes non-violent protests and ignores those pivotal points triggered by rioting.

If AI ever gets to the point where it can fact check in real time (with actual sources), it will completely change society. Unfortunately, it’s currently on the other side of the problem.

Snake looks good in a crop top sweater.

Okay back in the days of IRC, I met this script kiddie who said he’d hack me, just give him my IP address. So I sent him his IP address and he disappeared suddenly.

He’ll be a lot more responsive when he wakes up and takes a bath.
