I know it already happened but it’s going to be a long time before I stop wishing death to Kissinger.

It doesn’t feel good to be proven right anymore.
I think you’ve seen me whine about my work enough to know my feelings on offices and meaningless jobs, but I’ve also hit the burnout point in every line of work I’ve ever engaged in and I don’t want to end up that way with compassion.
So I guess my advice here is to keep an open mind as to what “helping people” means. Think about what you’re good at and where it might be put to use in your community. You could take a part-time job stocking shelves at a grocery store, for instance, and while it’s maybe not the direct action that you’re looking for, people need to eat and you need a paycheck. It doesn’t have to be your identity - just the thing you’re doing right now to get by without hurting anyone while you figure things out.
This is more or less my plan now that we’ve finally got some savings. I’m hoping that without the shame of office life weighing me down, I’ll feel a little more free to contribute outside of work?
Did this guy used to post on Hexbear/CTH or is he just one of our screenshot guys? My timeline is getting hazy at this point.
I’ll check this out tomorrow either way. I’m not gonna spend four hours of my free time watching it but I will definitely spend four hours of my work time listening to it in the background.
This is a ponzi scheme for caskets?
I definitely appreciate that! I’m currently on amphetamine and a low dose of SNRI with the goal of getting off my meds completely to see what that’s like for a while, but I’ll keep that in mind should we decide to go the other direction.
HaaAaAA-chhhshhhh
HaaaaAaaAAAaA-chuh
Hyaa… CHOOOOOOOOUYIOOOOO hyuhuheh
No but MXE made me go out, take some community college classes and find an office job. The stuff disappeared from the markets overnight and I suddenly woke up to this life I hated, except I finally had health insurance so I just kept living it.
Stay off of gray market dissociatives because the Chinese government might shut down the wrong lab one day and it will fuck up your entire shit.
If UlyssesT comes back he’s a fed. They don’t just let regular people keep posting after doing something like that to Henry Kissinger.
I was high in bed listening to krautrock.
Hahahahahahahaha hahahahaha I logged onto Hexbear to confirm this was true fuck yes
If you ever get stuck talking to one of these t-shirt guys, just ask him “which animal would win in a fight” and then try to slip into dissociation until he tuckers himself out. You don’t even have to name the animals, he’s already got the matchup in mind.
Yeah, sharing what’s happening on my phone with my wife is weird.
I actually told my wife “watch this, I’m going to get a smug reply from UlyssesT,” so thank you for not disappointing.
Ngl that is also who I was picturing.
He may be a sucker but at least he is engaging with the topic. The sheer lack of curiosity toward so-called “artificial intelligence” here on hexbear is just as frustrating as any of the bazinga takes on . No material analysis, no good faith discussion, no strategy to liberate these tools in service of the proletariat - just the occasional dunk post and an endless stream of the same snide remarks from the usuals.
The hexbear party line toward LLMs and similar technologies is straight up reactionary. If we don’t look for ways to utilize, subvert and counter these technologies while they’re still in their infancy then these dorks are going to be the only ones who know how to use them. And if we don’t interact with the underlying philosophical questions concerning sentience and consciousness, those same dorks will also have control of the narrative.
Are we just content to hand over a new means of production and information warfare to the technophile neo-feudalists of Silicon Valley with zero resistance? Yes, apparently, and it is so much more disappointing than seeing the target demographic of a marketing stunt buy into that marketing stunt.
The main problem with weed chats is that you get stoned and start to worry about when it’s okay to leave the conversation. With a cigarette, the conversation ends in five minutes or you light up another one. It’s a nice little snack versus a Sunday dinner.
Are you still on the vapes? I picked up smoking again a few years back due to work stress and I made the switch pretty quickly, but I really want to just be done with these things.
One time he hopped on an alt account just to continue harassing me because I wouldn’t agree that breeding decorative aquarium shrimp was the same as the Holocaust.
