Honestly very scared that a complete ban on gender affirming care for adults is going to be any day now.
Let me get this straight - these assholes drum up a panic about trans people being violent and then they go and become literal school shooters - killing scores of children in multiple schools in Iran?
There is no hell hot enough
I wasn’t planning on buying a new MacBook Pro to replace my current 8 year old one till next year but in the span of 24 hours my current one had the power brick fail, the fan started making noise, and I stayed up all night fixing my models cause each Boolean op took 4 minutes & now I’m reconsidering
He can’t go his entire life without ever experiencing one consequence.
Did you see the movie flow?
We’re all being asked to tolerate lots of discomfort to make a living 8+ hours a day, is it any wonder that in the rest of our time we choose the path of least resistance.
Which idk, I feel like that element isn’t discussed. The fact that it’s not so much that the thing being peddled is super pleasurable and mind hacking (the way it’s often characterized) I think it’s more that it doesn’t ask anything of you and that’s particularly appealing when we’re all exhausted.
Like I find myself often falling into the trap of sacrificing my longer term interests and pursuits for the shallow but immediate gratification of the algorithms - not because they’re terribly gratifying, but because they let me avoid the elements I want to avoid.
The thing about our internet ecosystem I’ve observed in how it affects myself - it’s not like it provides any great amount of pleasure. But also it is free from discomfort and difficulty. And like a lot of the time that quality is actually more appealing than things which may be more satisfying.
Trump is not only a poor person’s ideal of a rich person but even more so a weak person’s idea of a strong person. They’re all that way.
God help us and America ever gets what’s coming to it while these buffoons are in office - you can’t be this wildly irresponsible forever with no consequences. And I shudder at what the response to attacks on the country, the dollar collapsing, AI bubble induced economic collapse would look like.
Republican speeches work on Americans like the roadrunner painting a fake tunnel works on the Coyote.
I get so excited about resuming modeling my theme park rides until I get home and it’s real and then I’m like “this sucks, gonna bake instead”
Man I really need to go experience this.
Raises blood pressure and maybe just like you’re gonna roll over and die from heart stuff- out of all the health shit I grew up with this was the thing my family took most seriously - used fake salt on everything with the implication even a little of the real thing would make you keel over.
I’m very concerned that because of this tech revolution we live in we’re gonna spend like decades or centuries under tech feudalism instead of nipping it in the bud now.
Cyber trucks are allowed on the road but now multiple states are basically trying to ban e-bikes entirely and I’m just sooooo fucking tired of the idiots in charge of everything interfering with everything good in my life because they’re stupid and don’t even know what they’re regulating
Excel at avoiding them
I love that cats have clearly evolved to find hunting fun.
Wish I had evolved to find spreadsheets and weight lifting fun
Does my cat think I’m as cute as I think she is?
Tech moguls be anti-trans healthcare and at the same time do the most insane disordered shit and call it biohacking.
You want biohacking? Trans people are the most metal bio hackers out there.
Only despots hang pictures of themselves on government buildings
thought y'all hated safe spaces
Like a lot of things the online version of a group is a lot worse than the real thing.
Since some of these billionaires wealth is largely from companies they own I sometimes do wonder how much money they actually have.
Even weirder is that they finance their life with debt
I remember back in the day where that area was the boonies
Honestly bullshit you can get a tax credit for an electric car but not an ebike even though biking to work is helping the environment WAY more.
You know how every hotel around the seven seas lagoon has a corresponding land in the magic kingdom? Frontierland never had one but you could make the argument now that it’s switching more to a Yosemite/national park vibe that that’s a perfect match for wilderness lodge and ft wilderness
If you’re willing to accept one specific lie as gospel and put your fingers in your ears about it - then it actually becomes pretty easy to spew bullshit at 100 miles an hour.
They must be gotten rid of - can’t have all these liars and idiots running things. Any sign of vaccines working must be attributable to something else - the diseases don’t exist, or aren’t as bad, or eating raisins twice a day fixed it.
