I think something people are missing when thinking less work overall will happen is that this gives opportunities for new job openings for at least part time (if not just more full time position) people to fill in the gaps, or the people already working will just get paid much better. Both are wins imo

I typically feel like people like this aren't dumb, they're just so incredibly distrustful of authority figures like teachers or scientists or the government that on some level they reject reality and when videos "kinda make sense" or "have some points" about shit we all know is fake, it gives them the ability to choose what they think is correct and because they're already rejecting what they're being told is real by people they don't trust it's really easy to let conspiracies fill in the gap of how it works

Nobody builds the spaceship. Nobody I know has ever built the ship, unless they were playing the save our ships mod (I think that's the mod name IDK I don't use that one) but then that's not end game

I just accepted that I will only ever lose and it's fine

There's this one McDonald's on this busy road where we live and I jokingly started calling the right lane the "McDonald's lane" because so many cars in that lane were always turning in. I realized earlier this week that these days most cars drive past instead.

You don't even know the half of it, he played this MUD I was really into, his character's name was Vanmar, everyone hated him. Maybe a year or so before the pharmacy story broke he got perma banned from the game (oh god I'm gonna skim over a lot here, bear with me) he bought another player's super high skill character for iirc around 5k, went around bullying people who he couldn't take in pvp beforehand, then got the permanent ban for all of his accounts by forcibly role-playing a blowjob in a public area (a boat I think) on some other dudes character.

That was his second perma ban, he bought his way out of the first one, I don't recall how the first one came about.

Anyway, total twat. If you go deep in a search engine for Vanmar and DragonRealms you might find more info buried, a lot of its been lost to time and he bought one of the popular player forums around the game and locked it up so all that info is just lost.

Cis woman here, I not only have never been afraid of the possibility that a man might enter the woman's bathroom, if I ever encountered a man in the woman's bathroom I'd just assume they accidentally went in the wrong one or maybe it was a dad taking his daughter in or something similarly innocuous.

I really hope all trans women can feel safe one day entering the women's room (and trans men with the men's room) so they can use it in peace. Bathroom policers can fuck all the way off.

When do we get to blame the shit candidate who lost instead? Bernie didn't ignore and not campaign in multiple states because he thought they were in the bag, that was Hillary. Bernie didn't conspire with the dnc to put up the worse polling candidate because it was "their turn", that was Hillary. Bernie supporters didn't say "we don't need your vote" to the progressive voters, those were Hillary supporters.

This shit makes me want to write Bernie in instead of holding my nose and voting for Biden like I did last time.

It was a lot of stuff. I'm still mad about it. Of the top of my head: they very quickly got rid of polling locations in places he was polling high in multiple states after they realized he was doing well and people were standing in line to vote for over 8 hours, they lied about stupid shit like the fake chair throwing thing they made up to make it sound like anyone on his side were violent, they ignored the caucus rules in Nevada where he clearly won based on video at the time, there was more, but it's been a long time and this are just a few examples that cross my mind on occasion

There have been a handful of times where I wish I had just written it down because I see the "I never saw/ heard about this" line often enough.

The DNC admitted collision in court, what else do you need lol

I had this weird hardware issue with my desktop and I could not find results for it on Google about a year ago, and I had searched for it a bunch of times previously as well and couldn't find anything relevant. My boyfriend searched for it on Google on his computer and found a result with the information we needed and i immediately fixed it.

Guessing my "custom" results were poisoned by something at some time, but it prevented me from finding the answer I needed, and I didn't think to log out at the time.

Super done with Google tbh

It's really weird to me that you write just like Jesse talks on the No Till Growers youtube channel

I'm not so sure, I saw this short the other day of this Gen z woman with a caption that said something like "you can tell gen z from millennial by the rise of their jeans" with her wearing mid rise (labeled low) and high rise jeans, and the comments were full of millennial women pointing out that in the 90s the low rise was like way way way low (which they were) or that millennial wore low rise first, or that it was a bad style or whatever input they felt they needed to give

And I realized this Gen z girl doesn't care about any of this, and is actually quite clever, she's just effectively gotten an insane amount of engagement and is positioning herself as an influencer because much of my generation are idiots and are commenting and reacting on her stuff over the rise of pants
