  • She didn't have to tell people this either. She could have easily kept advertising the project, building up hype for it and lying about how close they were to completing the tool without ever announcing it as completed.

    You can lead investors on like that. Unless the fraud is completely exposed many investors will often continue to invest in these projects out of fear of missing out.

  • Deep Thoughts - 6x7=42

    Jump

  • This is just what I've heard, but apparently 67 comes from a rap song called Doot Doot by Skrilla. The 67 is a reference to the 10-67 police code for a report of death.

    Allegedly. I doubt the kids are saying it for any reason though.

  • They could just be disassociating. Escapism is very real too, and I know plenty of people around my age that would just rather not think about the issues at hand when they feel that they are completely powerless.

  • Probably not. He seemed to take the initiative in life quite often.

    Granted, given the circumstances around sexuality at the time he really had to be proactive.

  • 2³² will get interesting...

    Jump

  • I'd get it done and over with. I would resent myself forever, and accept any punishment for it, but it's better than waiting to see if someone wants to decide to kill off half the world later on. Would be even easier if I could take the first persons spot on the tracks so there only has to be one messed up person rather than two.

  • Controversial startup's plan to 'sell sunlight' using giant mirrors in space would be 'catastrophic' and 'horrifying,' astronomers warn

    Jump

  • Thought I was in the boring dystopia community instead. I suppose I'll just continue to hope that this is too impractical to happen or that those responsible aren't competent enough to make it happen.

    1. I'm just tired right now.

  • So I'm out here like "Kamala Harris y'all" and then she goes ahead and posts some shit like this

    Jump

  • It is somewhat well put together, but the fact that it was said at all makes it seem that she hasn't quite lost the desire to connect with conservatives rather than those who support her own party.

    She had so much potential, if only she had focused on progressive values and the people that would have been energized by hearing her promote them.

  • Yet another reason to despise AI. Animals deserve to be safe too. We've already taken so much from them as it is.

  • Shrimp!

  • I love their little heads so much.

  • Steve Huffman is now a billionaire after a profitable quarter for reddit

    Jump

  • I thought about making a bluesky account, but it doesn't entirely feel all that safe when conservatives are freely posting their misinformation over there too without any pushback.

  • exam cheating

    Jump

  • You don't need to cheat when the bar association decides to be lazy and use AI to write the exam itself.

  • Where else are people going besides here?

  • I was so young back then

    Jump

  • Mid-twenties probably?

    You do not need gratification for every single effort you put forth or every act of kindness you provide. If you expect this then you will be very, very disappointed. It's when you're working hard, and being patient with people over extended periods of time that the dissatisfaction really starts to set in.

    There is a reason a lot of work cultures involve people being obnoxiously loud regarding their accomplishments, or exaggerating what they've achieved. That's not enough sometimes and you end up having to move elsewhere. It's all so very unnecessary, and it hurts when you genuinely want to be passionate about your work.

  • They have their own version of Trump called Geert Wilders.

    The guy looks like Trump even. Has the orange skin and same color hair.

  • Not stupid if it works

    Jump

  • Haven't heard that name in a while. He used to help people with their homework on reddit, it'd be cool if he came over here.

  • Freaks

  • Split the house chores between a partner, meme and doom scroll social media while at work, exercise at home or nearby. Don't have the energy to keep in contact with most people all that often though. Get what sleep I can.

  • The cruelty is the point

    Jump

  • Times have changed since then though. Modern public infrastructure is a lot better suited for troop movements compared to the 1700s and 1800s when there was plenty of revolutions occurring across Europe. People seem to have this idea that they're going to take out their guns and start guerrilla warfaring massive groups of armed troops.

    I do believe we need to be more aggressive, more proactive, but there is a good chance that it might be expected. It's entirely possible that they're just waiting for an excuse to start gunning people down in the streets.

  • Didn't complete BG3 until my 7th playthrough

    Jump

  • Yeah, I wish times were simpler. There's too many qualified workers in the world struggling to use the skills they've spent years training.

    Anyways, I appreciate your sympathy and I appreciate that you didn't immediately reach for the nearest pitch fork when I told you my field.

  • World Wars are for the war machine fanatics. That's really where it starts for a lot of people.

    The American Civil War is mostly where you'll find revisionists and southerners, but there are also true enthusiasts. There's a lot of discussion in regards to the Mexican-American War priming the country for the Civil War, or discussion regarding the politics of the time and it's impact on the course of the war.

    Falklands? I want to assume that if you're British then you'd like to forget this ever happened. Although the war did result in the disposal of a dictator and brought a country into the folds of democracy even if it had to occur over what is essentially a colonial territory dispute.

    French and Indian War? I'd just say you enjoy colonial era history? Or you're currently living in the area that it occurred.
