Like, even snake oil salesmen had to promise their customers a benefit. This snake oil will heal your ailments. It will benefit you. You get something out of buying my snake oil.

These fash tech dipshits can't even do that. It's just "if you buy my snake oil I get to have more money."

It's funny that literally the only use case zuckerberg can imagine for technology is "I get to surveil you 24/7 inside the panopticon I own"

Like he can't even be arsed to detail the benefit to anyone other than him.

“‘Personal devices like glasses that understand our context because they can see what we see, hear what we hear, and interact with us throughout the day will become our primary computing devices,’ he wrote Wednesday in an online post detailing how Meta will bring AI to users.”

No, they won’t.

I wish I could be as into stuff as other people are. Never feel like as big of a fan of anything, so being even halfway excited about something ends up feeling like a farce and self fulfills the decline of purpose in liking things.

Things don't feel like an escape anymore and it sucks to have life feel either bad or just the same and losing that spark of unique excitement.

Still, saw you thinking of doing X/Y. Worth a poke at them imo.

Probably HGSS on technicality. You could go Black/White into B2/W2 as well.

If you never played XD:Gale of Darkness, it is more story-based if a bit more linear.

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

even had the existential crisis about death in my head during lunch today too, so it's just a rough one. Things getting even busier next week is going to test my constitution's limits.

Dragon @dragonsighted.bsky.social · 2d

was hoping work would be less breakneck but our quota got upped -again- on top of the already 'have to miss break if want to hit number' mode things are currently in. Sigh

nothing like waking up 2 hours before your 430am alarm to feel tired and lonely at the same time.

realized i havent changed my discord status in over 5 years and there's still no reason to because things never seem to not be busy and crazy.
i wish life just felt easier sometimes.

I need to make my next hobby a minimalist one; not going heavy on extra peripherals/accessories/parts. I want to do guitar or piano, but i do not have really any extra space to play with right now and it's easy to overbuy when starting a new thing.

Every now and then I go back and read the Citizens United ruling to see if it is as unhinged as I thought, and every time I do that I see it is actually far more deranged than I remembered.

levernews.com/book

Supreme Court ruling: "This Court now concludes that independent expenditures, including those made by corporations, do not give rise to corruption or the appearance of corruption. That speakers may have influence over or access to elected officials does not mean that those officials are corrupt. And the appearance of influence or access will not cause the electorate to lose faith in this democracy."

maybe one day it will make a difference, but it's still worth trying.

AWS outages are interesting because each time it affects more and more disparate things, each is a snapshot scan of the metastatic cancer infecting the internet.
