Webcomicname “Different” by Alex Norris. The pink blobby person says “I want things to be different” in a room with some furnishings. Second panel shows the person wildly smashing vases and stuff with a baseball bat. Final panel - the person is surrounded by a mess of destruction and says “oh no”

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

"One unexploited weapon is visa sanctions against enablers. [...] USA and EU can put these pinstriped accomplices on their visa blacklists. If all Western countries did this, keeping a snout in the enemy’s trough would suddenly look less attractive."
Still nobody can tell me how this company survives another 2 years. They lose billions of dollars, spending $2.35 to make $1, and will lose more next year, and we're at the peak of what these models can do. Bad scenes

Thinking that that this is just the beginning. We are not wired to behave differently. All our systems plus millions of years of evolution have us on a path.

Stuff happening for the greater good feels less likely not more when we most need it. Im fairly pessimistic about humans in general in these times. Can’t help….

12.09.2023 21:11 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Twitter is still the one place to go for all it’s faults despite Space Karen trying to fuck it all up. But it has got noticeably worse in the past few months for various “isms”. Elno stoking a lot of it. The good it has in times of emergency is too valuable to be a rich man’s play thing.

Bad.
