  • The cynicism behind faulting americans who didn't even vote for Trump is concerning

  • Outnumbered by 88 million, really. More than a third sat at home, fine with the current state of affairs.

  • Elon Musk and Sam Altman clashed on X after Musk shared a post about a man who committed a murder-suicide following delusional conversations with ChatGPT

  • There's also Clippy 3.0 Copilot. "I see you're trying to be productive, how can I get in the way today?"

  • If that's the case, then it's clearly not clear.

  • Are there "big accounts" on the threadiverse?

  • There's that guy who makes accounts on seemingly every instance imaginable and seems to be a moderator on dozens of communities as well.

  • "Entire windshield" is a very generous description. There's still quite a bit of snow that seems to mostly have been pushed around by the wiper blades.

  • No we didn't, otherwise he might have actually won the primary. A few people were very loud and aggressive, but by no means a majority. Its also literally one example. Why would you give up after one attempt? The people trying to ratfuck you sure didn't. Thats how they've gotten as far as they have.

    Just because bad actors exist doesn't mean it's impossible to affect change, it just means it's harder. Giving up means they win.

  • People relate to it because it gives them an excuse to blame their own ignorance on other people's assumed idiocy rather than intentional malice.

    And I agree it was never intended to be educational, which is why it's so damning that so many take it as gospel.

  • If people showed up for primaries and supported candidates worth voting for, there'd be a hell of a lot more of them. Instead most of that demographic would rather stay home, post memes, and complain that the world is doomed.

  • In some ways, sure. But it just depicts it as "People dumb, LOL" and not how that dumbness arises or persists. It doesn't happen in a vacuum, it happens because specific groups of people (mostly conservative politicians and their leash-holders) discourage education and encourage reactionism. None of that is shown in Idiocracy. Without them, at least some critical thinking would persist or arise.

    People praising that movie as prescient want to believe that all their problems are just that everyone but them are idiots, because it absolves them of trying to help fix things. It means the problem is inevitable and unfixable. It also means those people are help creating the future they are critiquing as they abandon critical thinking for reactionism.

  • Nah, it's a dumb reason to do anything, much less hand wealth to a bunch of people who don't give a shit about the workers who got them there. It was more tongue in cheek than anything.

    Less time off has more to do with middle managers justifying their pittance than anything else.
