A productive and reasonable man and in the end completely self interested.
The neoliberal American ideology has always been “fuck you pay me” and Trump is the apotheosis of that America.
For untold years the elite grift has depended on acting like we all believe the same things. Turning on a dime to "No it's fine, you can say slurs now, King President can install a Dave & Busters in the White House if he wants" fucks the whole game up. They haven't realized this yet, but they will.

“I’ve cut this corner. What other corners am I going to cut?”
I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

The military has a duty to refuse unlawful orders, but Congress has a duty to remove from office a president and secretary who would issue such orders. There is something off about members of Congress talking about the former while refusing to say the latter, the part that's actually their job here.

The avocado used to be poor man’s butter. This is karmic punishment for gringo gentrification.
the risk to reward ratio of stabbing an avocado pit while you’re holding it in your hand is WAY off, imo
I'm in EMT school right now. Pretty common cause of 911 calls/ER visits around holidays is people just not even trying to use knives properly. Lemme just slice this avocado while HOLDING IT IN MY HAND...
Please. Use cutting boards. They exist for a reason.

One of my dumbest woke takes is I think people cosplaying as storm troopers is weird. Cool dress up as faceless drones of the empire. That’s not awkward.

You should have enough to protect your family and you. Also as cars have gotten more expensive make sure you have enough property damage coverage.
Given the amount of inflation in the last few years, a lot of people don't have enough car insurance. Everyone should review their policies, including their under-insured limits, before they renew.

The other problem is ChatGPT loses money even on its $200 premium subscribers. Even Altman admits ironically people use it more than they anticipated. They can’t effectively price or cap their product.
this is a bluesky bubble opinion. 800M+ people use chatgpt every week. I hate Facebook and Instagram and I wish they didn’t exist, but 3B and 2B people use them every month, respectively. it’s very hard to picture a mass or even a niche left backlash against them
i think tech and ai positive people are going to be in for a big shock when anti tech and anti ai sentiment becomes a major part of leftwing politics going forward especially as datacenters continue to destroy communities and raise electricity bills
