Same, I got laid off recently and 12 years of experience isn’t even getting me interviews at in-person jobs.

The guys who killed Tyre Nichols wouldn’t have been arrested if people hadn’t rioted after George Floyd was killed.

City and state subs tend to be really bad, I guess because if you’re looking to influence people it’s an obvious place to start. I swore off my city subreddit after a barrage of “this is it, I’m done with the Democrats” after the local George Floyd riots knocked over some statues that were about equality. It was probably astroturfing but beyond frustrating either way.

Pretty much, yeah

A couple years ago I didn’t have a job or health insurance and the flu shot cost $37.

That’s useful AI that doesn’t take billions of dollars to train, though. (it’s also a great idea and I’d be down for it)

I feel similarly. Javascript was made to add some functionality to documents and now we’re basically running Doom in a word professor. I don’t know what a better system would look like, but I’d draw a line between document-type pages and pages that you want to do more on.

And their website won’t let you order anything on the Sabbath, which drives me insane. I’m not expecting anyone to be working on the weekend, but computers don’t need to take breaks!!

You don’t think the peaceful protests were backed by the threat of union violence that had been regular up until the New Deal?

The media tried so hard to make people hate Luigi in December and it didn’t work because everyone knows insurance companies murder for profit. Voting hasn’t helped, the media is owned by oligarchs, most social media is too, and if you protest you either get ignored or beaten up by the cops.

It’s not my first choice of action even now, but probably-Luigi killed a guy who was otherwise untouchable and the oligarchs flipped their shit. Abraham Lincoln’s death gimped Reconstruction, MLK’s death hurt the civil rights movement (and spurred nationwide riots causing passage of another civil rights act), Panthers leadership hurt their organization too.

We have a 40-hour work week because unions literally fought for it. I’d guess most people don’t want more violence but working through the system was pretty impossible even before fascists took complete control last month.

No, but pretty much everyone with a shred of power here is either fascist or too chickenshit to stand up to them.

Gil desperately trying to sell Colecos convinced me as a kid that they were bad computers, and the association hasn’t completely gone away.
