  • They are so desperate to push this and it’s pretty obvious why. Companies have dumped hundreds of millions of dollars into AI like it was going to revolutionize literally everything and are now forcing it on people to make up for the fact that they were wrong. Don’t get me wrong, AI has its uses, but their whole “solution for everything” mentality is really starting to backfire and they are just trying to make a profit off their investments. Basically “we spent way more money on this than we should have so you better use it or else.”

    Edit: In addition, every company is trying to be the one that’s on top when the bubble pops which is only making it bigger and last longer which will only make it worse when it does actually pop. It’s a problem they created and are sustaining themselves, and if they back out now it could be just as catastrophic as letting the bubble pop.





  • I feel like this has less to do with changing history and more to do with Trump’s fragile ego. I’m not saying that they aren’t trying to rewrite history and that is absolutely disgusting, just that this one doesn’t really make any sense when you really take a step back and think about it. If anything an actual strong person would wear it as a badge of honor to prove how right he is that the “deep state” is still trying to get him, which Trump has done in the past. I say this is an indicator that he’s in panic mode trying to fix his image right now which is kinda pathetic.



  • I remember last year when people were saying that Gaza will be ignored until it’s too big to ignore. I remember because I was one of those people. They’re doing this because they knew it was wrong to begin with but are now trying to save face and say “See? We were the good guys the whole time!” Do not let them forget that they let this happen when they could have stopped it at any time.

    By the way, I’m not throwing shade towards Canada specifically. This was the stance of pretty much every western country and they are all guilty.


  • I feel like headlines from both sides of the political spectrum are specifically designed to make us hate each other. Based on this headline, and the fact that the majority of people will not read the article, people will assume that their republican neighbors don’t care anymore. In reality this is one of the biggest bipartisan agreements among everyday people that I have ever seen in my life.

    If you hang out online in liberal communities they will say republicans support pedos like Trump. If you hang out online in conservative communities they will say democrats support pedos like Bill Clinton. But what both sides are actually saying is they don’t give a fuck who is on the list and everyone that was involved should be punished (Yes, even Trump supporters).

    This is what class warfare looks like. When you are constantly being told that the “others” hate everything you stand for even when everyone actually agrees on something. If the title of an article pisses you off immediately it was probably specifically chosen to do so. And if that’s the case, read the article.




  • It’s just generational trauma. Both have grown up with parents or grandparents that have suffered to the other and think they are inherently evil. It’s not like it’s the first time Israel has done evil things to them and it’s not like it’s the first time Israel has wanted revenge for the evil things that have been done to them.

    The reason why people always emphasize that revenge is never good and that “violence isn’t the answer” is because this is literally the worst case scenario outcome of said violence. An endless cycle of hate and violence that can lead to so much dehumanization that they barely even consider them people. And if you don’t even consider them people anymore you might as well get rid of them so you can use the land and resources. If you look at any genocide a very common theme is that it’s always about superiority and how the people being killed are subhuman.




  • Sooo… Voluntary extra taxes? You know, you could just tax the mega wealthy. Although something tells me some of this would go to them anyway with how easily they seem to throw that shit around.

    I shouldn’t be mad since it’s mostly going to be people that are incredibly stupid that are going to do this, but I would prefer those said people were at least buying stuff that’ll put the money back into the economy instead of having it disappear into the ether. I’m not an economist, but i bet that even if every average American that is middle class or below put in all their money it still wouldn’t even put a dent in it.






  • If cell phones weren’t as ubiquitous as they are now I can definitely see it not being an issue in the past. But with literally everything being online and on our phones I could easily see something going badly. Like, I don’t think you can even buy maps at gas stations or rest stops in the US these days and those things used to be everywhere. And without being able to use GPS, call someone, and in some peoples cases won’t even be able to buy anything since there are so many people that rely on things like Apple Pay, there are so many things that can go wrong with one point of failure. Most people wouldn’t even know what day of the month it is or even how much money they have without their phone.

    One of the reasons I keep a map in my car, which I’ve actually had to use a couple times when my phone died on a long drive.


  • I think what my point is mostly about is that once one person does it for an arbitrary reason then everyone does it for an arbitrary reason. I guess I’d say that it breaks the trust of the commitment very easily. I’ve seen it with similar situations all the time. I have a discord server where I play games with all my friends and one day one of the people in the server disabled the ability to see what they were playing. Next thing you know everyone is hiding their activity and nobody knows what anyone is doing. Instead of being a feature that was sometimes disabled it turned into a feature that is sometimes enabled instead. And I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, just that it’s the way things go.
