Oh, c’mon, this is like… the 5th different moniker for the same damned thing in a year, what’s the fixation with this phenomenon? Things’re pretty clear, everyone’s figured out the game and we’re now playing it accordingly!

We really need to get our shit together and pull a Revolution again… Our political system is in need of a good slappin’…

Let’s turn that frown upside down! Instead of saying “Google failed to generate a useful LLM to bolster its search feature,” say “Google successfully replicated the output of an average Reddit troll!”

Ssooo… a cable package?

Heeey! It’s not, like… JUST that, okay?! No, I’m not in denial, shut up!

Foreword: 100% my opinion

Short version: no.

Long version: [Darth Vader voice] NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

If anything, we’re not talking enough about mental health. I’m not referring to the tendency to ostracise neurodivergent people as “other” and the fervency with which neurotypicals are clawing at the concept of normalcy in order to convince themselves that they have stable ground beneath their feet, although both aspects are a symptom of the greater issue.

In my view, the prevalence of self-diagnoses, the confusion and misinformation around psychology and mental well-being, just as the two elements listed above, are a symptom of the fact that the entire domain is marred by inefficacy, ranging from predatory businesspeople who play us through fake sympathy and understanding in order to get us to click their product’s link and sign up to an expensive program which may or may not actually do us any good, to the overall difficulty of actually getting the help we need, to those who simply spread misinformation either with the intent of gaining ‘something,’ or out of blind incompetence.

We need to be aware of what is happening to us. We need to be able to discuss these things and actually reach a point of understanding, both of our situations and ourselves, as well as to understand those around us. The fact that those who are genuinely trying to reach the truth are frequently going down the wrong path is not a fault of the seekers, but a fault of the system. Referring to that point about hopelessness around the persistence of racism, the solution is clearly not shoving everything under the carpet and trying to ignore the situation because it makes us feel bad, it is precisely to stare right into its eyes, be constantly aware of the problem, and sharing that awareness with as many people as possible. Discomfort is the only path toward change and we should embrace it.

This, it feels like the mother of all cascade failures…

Thank you.

“Quiet quitting” didn’t really have that zing to it, eh?

Rrawrr😞

The more, the merrier!

Without the slightest hint of sarcasm or irony, this made me want to give you a hug.

Foreword: I’m not being combative, just analytical.

This line of thinking perpetuates the problem. The point is to get good because you, personally, want to get good and derive satisfaction from competence ‘in a vacuum.’ If you seek competence for the sake of its artificially associated value (i.e. productive member of society, validation, etc.), then you’re basically locking yourself into unrelenting standards.

B-but… that goes against the Holy Texts!

This. Let’s not forget that ABBA started off with neither of the two leads speaking a word of English, all of their songs were sung phonetically. It’s all smoke and mirrors at this point. A very complex system of smoke and mirrors, but nowhere near sentience/self-awareness/actual intelligence.

Hey, the Spice must flow!:))

Do you want Warhammer 40k? Because this is how you get Warhammer 40k.

Jesus Christ… Whyyy is this guy still running companies? Why does absolutely anyone take him seriously at this point?
