The stock indices have reached new records after every single crash . Because capitalism must grow. Line must go up. Because if line go down, the whole promise of return of investment goes out of the window and the thing collapses. Any money you put in the market as a whole (ETFs), will be worth more in the future than it is now. But it has to be money that you don’t need to rely on in the next 15-20 years, so it’s exclusively for people who are rich already.

Everything else, like picking a single stock like those GameStop idiots, is just straight up gambling. Betting on horse racing is equally as productive.

Bad AI anime pictures?

To everyone recommending vitamin c: there is no evidence that it does anything but making your pee slightly more expensive unless you have a deficit, which you don’t, because you’d notice your teeth falling out.

Liquids, rest, ibuprofen and wasting around for a week is all we got. Pseudoephedrine medication if it’s really bad and congested or you need to stand upright for three hours because something can not wait.

Get well soon.

When I was younger I thought being able to drink a lot was a good thing.

Turns out, consuming more of the poison that destroys your guts and liver to get into the desired state of mind is actually bad.

On the other hand, I’m usually the one getting drunk people home safely, so thats nice.

The only thing that would follow one billion Americans is zero Americans, on account of the ocean being turned into boiling acid in like 3 years.

I’m sure you can just consolidate all the people called Mike into a single guy with the “Duplicate Entry” function.

Gonna be real with you, that is my position on average with the US government and specifically the state department or anything involving intelligence agencies. If the CIA said the sky is blue, I would look twice and still might be sceptical from that moment.

Rude.

The ghost of Kiyv. We misunderstood all along.

Going back to the country that tried to kill you, because you think you’re hot shit is a very strange form of bravery.

Googling that just brought up weird ass crank pages. Not that gang, sorry.

Not that I don’t enjoy a good intelligence conspiracy, but I’ll go with Occam’s razor here. Russians poisoning a rowdy russian political activist with good old russian warcrime chemicals is as good as any explanation.

Feels like this is the only lesson from this.

The motherfucker was a real believer in… whatever variation of a liberal-fash ego trip he made up for himself. The russian state and judicial system fucked with him at every point of his attempt to stir the public or participate in politics and for some fucking reason he kept pushing his luck.

Then they poisoned him with chemical weapon grade poison and almost killed him, then he got offered one last possible exit from ANGELA MERKEL herself. And he just went back. Commited to the bit till the end.

Love popOS, but it did not play well with my multi monitor setup. It just couldn’t deal with different resolutions (qhd laptop, two fhd monitors) and sizes. Mint can. So I am back to Mint and stopped worrying about distro hopping.

For the mentioned reasons, any ai art and it’s generators should be treated the same way as toxic waste. It’s radioactive garbage that should be buried under 120000 tons of rock and salt with a big sign with a skull Infront of it.

It’s a hallucinating computer, but it can’t die and we are giving it the worst drug cocktail imaginable and then tweak whether it needs more fly amanita, gasoline or dried centipede to make the titties just right.

It is the best intersection of human and machine that we are capable off and the results is exclusively the worst of both worlds.

While they aren’t immortal, there is something deeply unnatural about these zombies still walking the earth. Yes, the best medicine that money can buy is quite powerful, but cancer, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and various other degenerative diseases are so incredibly common at their age and are mostly irreversible.

My wonderful grandmother lies, bed ridden, barely conscious in a care home, waiting for the end. And these freaks stumble around, withering before our eyes, yet always getting up again to inject a little more desperation and destruction into the world. It’s so bleak and I don’t know if I can stand another round of this charade.

If you try to look up anything DIY or household related, you used to get forum posts, maybe a blog, or a at very least a company site that still made a human write a little article about the topic.

Now it’s just pure ai generated garbage. They all have the same bullet-point list form, endless blabbering in a casual tone (So you like many other people want to drill a hole into a wall. Well there an many things to consider…), lack any specifics and are like three times as long as they should be. And then 10 product referrals to Amazon with names like the above.

The internet was always kinda fucked, but this feels like digital Kessler syndrome. Once you hit a critical amount of garbage, every bit of useful information will just be buried by trash.

I don’t want to compile anything. I don’t want to “make”. I don’t want to use command lines. I don’t want to download Rust. Or know the difference between python2 and python3 and how you still have to be specific about it. I never wanna read a git manual with lines that mean nothing to me again. I don’t care about snap or flatpack or whatever package distribution gives me a year old version of my program on this distro and how that version differs from the one from the webpage.

Sorry Linux, but a big download button, double click, “install to c:/program files”, “want a short cut to desktop”, done. is the gold standard for 99% of applications.

I know there are reasons. But still, it sucks.

When her lungs start glowing, we should begin to worry.

I know exactly how I feel about ai “art”. It is hideous beyond measure and every place that values anything about art or just human beings needs to shame it and everyone who touches the stuff.

Do not legitimize anything about it. Writing “prompts” is as absurd as augury and less meaningful too. Do not use it for “inspiration” or sketches or suggestions. Poison your actual art work so it fucks their database. Fight this trash at every cost. Every scribble you do on the side of your notebook is worth more than the entirety of Dalle and Midjourney combined.

I’m 100% Luddite on this. If I could smash their datacenters with a brick hammer, I wouldn’t stop until my fingers bled.

Thinking back to my dota days makes me cringe so hard. I loved the game but by god was I a whiny bitch at times. Solo queue is a disfunctional game mode that should be purged from the planet.

The only way these games truly can bring joy is if you play with friends that share the same attitude. Talking to real human beings really mitigates so much of the negative feelings that these games potentially generate.
