And if so

I suppose I’m somewhat confused about what the doomer position is here. Are people thinking this AI shit is going to keep going because the government will bail it out? That’s doomer? Because I thought it was that this industry is going to die a messy death, and take the country with it.

lol why is San Antonio catching strays? Yeah we're fuckin stupid down here, but it's more like "yes I WILL eat tex-mex every day and expect to not have a heart attack when I'm 34" stupid, not Nazi stupid

Oh god, am I about to have some of my favorite movies tainted...

Also when did Rogan start podcasting from inside the Battlestar Galactica?

I could stomach the different Discord promotions if the "rewards" weren't so unbelievably stingy. A sparkly frame for my avatar for a WHOLE MONTH? Oh, well! Do they know it's Christmas time?!

I’ve spent 10 years in public education to (among other things) get my loans forgiven, and barely got in under the wire before Trump drowned that in the bathtub too. Public edu is filled with some of the nicest, most passionate people I’ve ever met, and most of them are going insane. It’s BAD.

The OP alludes to this in their final post, but I think the general disillusionment with education is due to a feeling that there’s little societal motivation to even try. At least millennials grew up with the lie that getting any college degree was a fast pass to the good life.

Worked for me.

I think it’s because any meaningful discourse on ways to… ameliorate the situation… would probably sound like fedposting

I don’t think Zohran buys it for a fucking microsecond, but understands that optically it’s beyond beneficial to have the big, bad, scary fascist being beyond obsequious to him. People already hate Trump, now you have to dispel the bullshit air of invulnerability.
