CVS pharmacy tech over here trying to overcharge me $110 because "they didn't think the discount card would work". I read them the text of the discount card. They shrug in a "humoring the crazy customer" sort of way, looked mad that it worked, and made me wait 15 minutes while they reprinted label.

AI is the lynchpin of the whole political project. Itās the container for the parallel governance they have promised each other. I truly think that they are surprised that people donāt like itā¦and that they canāt yet wholesale punish everyone for not liking them.

A MAGA freak in Texas murdered his own daughter in cold blood after they had an argument about Trump. A grand jury in the Dallas area then *declined to indict him*, and he has not yet faced charges. Seems like many Texans believe a man has the right to kill his own child for disobedience.

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

Here is my experience and opinion. PEOPLE GENERALLY WANT TO HELP But most of the time, people don't know how to help, or what to do. This is why people say things like 'most people are sheep' it's not ...it's not really an insult. It's the reality. This is something people CAN DO.
