Very frustrating that all of my good work keeps getting attributed to "pro-China, pro-communist foreign interests"

Turns out many things are expensive because we’re too poor to buy enough of them to make them cheap. This is the stupidest glitch in the simulation. Patch it with UBI.

It's almost like a VLM can't drive a car because there will always be novel circumstances while driving that fancy dice based on training data from random drives can't be prepared for, with or without the help of randos in the Philippines

Shut the fuck up.

The longer you look at this, the worse it gets

I know it has no logical standing but it’s just so annoying to have it said. It’s like, you think you’re mentally equipped to deal with ignorance & ignorance always has a new trick up its sleeve that throws you for a loop.

We should all pretend that the fact the Trump phones have 11 stripes instead of 13 is an intentional shot at North Carolina and Rhode Island for being the 12th and 13th states to ratify

Hell yeah. Don't let bosses convince you that you don't deserve more. Don't let someone who hoards $100 million tell you that working people don't deserve $100,000. Instead organize and get yours.

Where's 'They're all arms of the rule of capital and should all be destroyed'?

this is correct. ive seen clinton, obama, and biden along with other failed dem presidential candidates all talking about the deficit like theyre fucking reaganites. the dem stance should be "big things need big government, the same government that landed on the moon and won world war 2."

AI has fundamentally changed how I do my work. Before, I would ask "what do I do with this empty page?" Now I ask "what do I do with this absolute tome of random nonsense only some of which might be salvageable?"

As grifts go, "self-driving cars" has been surprisingly long-lived

I could literally talk about the physics behind Thragg's punches for the next week

Even if self-driving technology were achievable, it would require a level of surveillance and data collection that simply isn't worth the security risks

New from 404 Media: spoke to four people who attended a trade show where senior ICE officials spoke about how much Palantir is supercharging their arrests. List of 20 million people on ICE agents phones now; increased chance of successful arrest from 28 to 80% www.404media.co/ice-agents-h...

The goal of any functioning society should be to make it so that everyone has to do less work

Learning through real work - cooperative education - should be an integral part of the high school curriculum

That is how you know the Republicans are better for the economy. Because when Dems add 200k jobs it is bad and when a Republican adds 50k jobs it is great. Duh!

here we go again, the new york times calling an increase of 115k jobs under Trump "solid" while it called similar or considerably bigger gains under Biden "disappointing" or "weak"

the bezos post has basically morphed into a 24-7 "you is kind, you is smart" affirmation outlet for the billionaire leisure class. its pathetic.

this is also one of my hobbyhorses. you want a better caliber of lawmaker? you want to reduce the odds of corruption? pay them more. a lot more.

Vote out all Republicans, at every level, in every aspect of government. Check supposed independent non-partisan boards and commissions for clearly partisan members, too.

The rest of the world not so much. Trump lost the war immediately.

Also if you’re someone who wants to be good at doing ALT but sometimes forgets to add it, there’s a setting in accessibility that stops you from posting an image without ALT so you *can’t* forget! 🥰

Can we all please agree to stop using "tax" as a catch-all for money people shouldn't have to or reasonably don't want to pay? Taxes are often a good thing, and you should pay them.

Work requirements for government benefits are not just evil - they're stupid, and anybody advocating for them should be embarrassed

I'm as against regulation on 3d printing as the next person, especially because a lot of laws coming out right now fully demonstrate once again that our legislators don't understand these technologies or what is actually feasible. But this is weird fear-mongering in the other direction.

"I don't know how much a kilo is. If a kilo is anything like a pound, that's too much cake." - heard while watching Great British Bake Off

What's going on, Vox? Do you need help? "What do I do when someone uses methods I don't agree with but cares about the same things I do?" is an insane question to think is useful or newsworthy.

The most popular type of Salt of the Earth Profile in USA is ‘We took a white guy at face value when he blatantly lied about his reasons for letting the Racist Red Meat Guy take all his generational wealth’. I guarantee that this guys’s children, who are broke now, will grow up to blame Black ppl

Imagine being a newsperson and thinking "trains exist" is a worthwhile headline

The idea of needs-testing social security benefits is so intellectually bankrupt I'm struggling to articulate an argument against it that doesn't feel like it's giving too much credit

PLEASE tax me more so we can do cool shit like space travel and ending hunger

The problem with most of the laws that politicians are pushing regarding ghost guns right now is that one literally cannot comply. Even if software- or firmware-level censorship was a good idea (it's not), there's no way you could possibly do it

Once again need to remind everyone that the supposedly crime-infested hellhole of New York is one of the safest cities in the country in no small part because most people in the central area don’t drive. America has a much bigger car problem than a violent crime problem.

And as expected, all those posts you saw about RAM prices finally going back to normal aged like milk. The fundamental problems haven't been solved yet.

The U.S. stock market is an old tool that solved old problems. It's not necessary anymore, and the ways it's used now do more harm than good. It should be abolished.

AB2047 is so stupid. This law is impossible to comply with, so CA just won't get 3d printers. "It's like telling a pen manufacturer to make a pen that doesn't allow its user to write sentences the government doesn't want you to write"

Trying to explain to my doctor that in order to sleep better I'd have to be sleeping in the first place

Bitch I will beat your ass

If you don't want fascists to politicize your jokes maybe tell better jokes, I dunno, I'm not a comedian worths tens of millions of dollars.

No, that's exactly what Chappelle was doing and it's why trans people criticized him for doing it.

The people who only first turned on Trump because of egg or gas prices were bad enough. The folks are just now turning on him because of the Jesus depictions are absolutely insufferable.

Thinking about learning Baseball the trading card game so that I can get interested in the TV show

[wheeze]

everyone becomes extremely adept at identifying and making arguments that perfectly position themselves with all the correct heroes and villains and implications, like some kind of trick shot that bounces between seven different targets. “but is this true?” what do you mean, I hit all the targets

We are the helpless bystanders that we've been waiting for
