Hyper long-termism is cancer because it combines theoretical infinite gains which allow anything to be justified for the greater good combined with a timeline which makes accountability impossible. All the fun of religion except you get to be God instead of accountable to Him.

I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe
Attack ships on fire off the coast of Greenland
I watched the CDC recommend creating a cat flu to fight the bird flu
All these moments will be lost in time
Like tears in the rain

Time to die

I assume this is a contest in which the individuals try and avoid hearing the Christmas song from Wham?

He died as he lived, clicking β€œForgot password,” then checking his inbox for a code, then putting in that code, then setting up two-step verification, and then waiting for the text message that doesn’t come, and then calling the 800 number, and then downloading an authenticator app, and dying.

Software engineers should be working on the next social media evolution beyond Bluesky.

Oligarchs will not abide allowing open access to media they do not control.

"What do we want?"

"Autocorrect to stop making us look stupid by changing simple words in our texts."

"When do we want it?"

"Not!"

Who's "they"? And how did they do this. More science based speculation is needed.

Like no one really wants to deal with the massive outrage-and-hallucination engine that we’ve hooked our society up to, so it would be really nice to assume Dems can defang it with smart policy positioning or rhetorical positioning or whatever, and win elections anyway. But they just can’t!

I don't use Oracle anymore since I moved to a job that has MS SQL Server.

But thanks for the great tool that saved me countless hours at my last job (Oracle SQL Developer).

I hope Oracle hasn't abandoned it.

They could have done a story about a miners rebellion on the colony planet and it would have been better than the endless nostalgia farming.

Gladiator 2 was the same. "Hey, remember this from the first movie??? Do ya??". Shoved in our faces for 2+ hours.

Please Hollywood, do something new.

I lament the political grifters that just joined Bluesky but I absolutely celebrate all the normal people who have just joined Bluesky. All the people responding to movie trailers with β€œwow! Looks neat!” and taking pictures of their dinner? I love that shit you are my king and queen
