I remember my vista experience was excessive amounts of prompts to confirm it was using some privileged access for literally anything I tried to do.

And then you play Xcom 2 and realize that Dota 2 was meditative by comparison

Climate change effects are compounding, as polar caps melt they release trapped methane which is more effective greenhouse gas than CO2.

As temperatures heat up, people just gonna turn up HVAC more, more energy usage, which means we either get green real quick, or this feedback loop will continue until we break.

But all this is known. We’re all gonna be scrambling when we reach that point, spouting “We didn’t listen” like that episode of South Park about this very issue.

Meh, im sure the rich fucks have contingencies for themselves, so it’s all good.

Planet will be fine, our ability to live on it not so much.

Ugh, why do people just want to confront people on here by focusing on some petty semantics like anybody gaf. It’s such Twitter behavior

Ytubers joked about this, sadly it seems reality doesn’t realize it supposed to parody…

I loved The Onion’s parody of TED Talks where an Idea guy is giving a presentation https://youtu.be/DkGMY63FF3Q?si=BBLyiYPCFSKwgxVY

It’s going to get increasingly harder to find competent young workers because entry level positions are getting automated away, as well as our deteriorating collective attention spans to actually give a shit

They make birth control monitors and they’ve been producing a lot of false positives.

Ain’t that the truth.

Id never worked harder than when I was working retail as a HS student. And the worst part is interacting with assholes who thought you were beneath them, which I think it’s what this meme underlines.

was lucky to be well off to get an education which provided a way to land a cushy SW job. Mentally stressful at times sure, but I didn’t have to take shit from somebody and worry if I could afford my next meal. And I see the same ego on the other side here, where people sneer or condescend towards min wage workers.

So many things we take for granted are just down to luck, or lack thereof.

Now I don’t know how it would feel to be wealthy. Where money ceases to be something you need to think about on a day to day basis, but I think that’s when it just becomes a status symbol, and you have to make more only because the Jones bought their 4th yacht, so of course you can’t be seen with less than that! It never ends, and that’s why I think rich-ass capitalists can never have enough, because in their mind the competition never ends and no amount is ever enough.

Fuck house flippers

How pathetic do you have to be to gatekeep a celebration?

Yea, what happens in SOMA fucks with me whenever i think about it.

Digitizing consciousness for use in simulations, and spun up and down in an isolated environment like they are some AWS service.

what a tool

If 2 is not being fulfilled, it should really be a fire decision

By then, cardboard boxes will be sold for billions

Blue pill is irrelevant. You already rich if you can convince family to buy stocks.

this is why i save money and spend less, so i can amass wealth until I have “fuck you” money where I can just dip if they start this shit on me.

But it is partially their fault: they have the largest political clout by generation so welfare and zoning policies have always suited them at the behest of everyone else.

And even if people don’t have kids, the rich aren’t going to be impacted. They just use immigration as a stop gap until everything is automated away and we see wealth imbalance get taken to 11. I’m talking gated communities everywhere with poverty in-between (e.g South Africa)
