If you really love triangles, it becomes a new sexual orientation.

When AI becomes sapient, r0zeclawz is first.

“Sorry we don’t live our lives for the opportunity to destroy ourselves for senpai company owner like you.”

My supervisor doesn’t know how to maintain what I build, despite me attempting to show her. At this point, we openly pity each other, her because I have no desire to do more than what my job entails, take the paycheck, and leave to go live my life, and I because she proudly has no life to go home to because she spends 12 hours a day plus here acting like Jesus on the cross for the greedy, indifferent owner.

It’s flexing power.

Their central pursuit of capital is just the pursuit of power to wield over others.

At scale, beyond meeting personal material needs/wants, that’s what capital becomes, power over others.

You can fuck off and indulge all your hobbies in a mansion on the beach for the rest of your life long before you hit a billion dollars, but at those levels you want to influence elections/culture and control ever more people and resources. I consider it mental illness, I wish the rest of our society did as well.

they don’t care how they get more job done as long as it’s done.

That is a ridiculous assertion.

Employers in the US absolutely care about flexing power for the sake of flexing power. It’s why many are against WFH (for their employees, not themselves of course) despite it being shown not to decrease productivity,

Do you believe employers desire for ever MOAR somehow doesn’t extend to having more perks and time than their underlings? Employees having more days off DEVALUES the employer fucking off for drinks and golf, oh I’m sorry “networking,” at noon every day by comparison.

Of course there are exceptions, but the larger the employer, the fewer there are, as growth/metastasis is a reflection of the insatiability of the employer’s greed. The ones with any temperance eventually stop, the ones that are incapable of being satiated don’t.

Sadly, Trump’s Klan enthusiast father lived to 93.

In addition to Reagan effectively destroying the nation, he and his enabler wife Nancy kept his Alzheimer’s decline quiet so he could complete his second term to protect muh legacy. Being declared unfit requires your own cabinet turning on you, that requires appointing people of integrity to begin with.

Not only could we be governed by someone deep into senility. We already have.

This is probably the number one reason I’d be giddy about it.

Our species desperately needs to learn some humility. We’re literally destroying our only habitat out of blind arrogance and greed.

If they didn’t come in peace. We’re boned, and everyone’s problems are over.

If they did, at some point they’re still going to need to use corrective action on our arrogant monkey asses.

Because all human history.

As an adult, it’s the biggest plothole in Trek to me. Species so far ahead of us taking our lead only a couple hundred years after we took a break bombing each other and managed to cobble together a single, shitty warp drive a Vulcan toddler could probably improve the design of at a casual glance. If there was a consortium of species, at our stage we’d correctly need to beg to get provisional Jr. membership after 1,000 years of probationary observation.

They really shouldn’t take us until our species agrees to stop letting people starve while others grow obese just to get the fat sucked out of them to do it again.

What do you expect? Greed is our culture’s only practiced core value.

Aside from watching our kids shoot eachother, but that’s more national pastime than value.

Take pride in this cesspool built by slaves on top of a genocide that thrives on and exports exploitation for profit? Fucking never.

Honestly, I don’t even blame Trump for this particular tactic. I blame his base.

They are all whores for nonsensical conspiracy theories. They literally reject the reality in front of their face for “pizza parlors are all running pedophile sex fight club franchises in their basements owned by George Soros!” type shit. If he didn’t say it, they would and probably already did run with something similar in their echo chambers.

Lucky!

I agree, this is just leftover momentum.

Reaganomics was a bullet to this nation’s brain stem. Citizens United was just the capitalists pissing on the long dead corpse for fun.

This place is just the command center for multinational oligarchs to wage war on the rest of humanity to increase short term profit expectations.

What an odd change.

This makes so much more sense.

I just wish there were a way to preserve these records in a format with enough longevity to survive until the next sapient species evolves after we destroy ourselves and the human habitability of the planet for a couple million years.

They could use the warning against indulging greed and willful ignorance, and we deserve to have others laughing at our species’ expense through time. We inherited paradise just to set it on fire eyes wide open. It’s an extremely low bar, but I hope the next global apex predator chooses to do better.

The Republican Healthcare plan will arrive the same week George R. R. Martin publishes Winds of Winter.

Which coincidentally will be the same week either party does anything to reign in the global attack on every conceivable front by the market capitalists on Earth and humanity.

I’d rather have the ugly truth than pretty lies.

We’ll never get over our worship of them, because it is engineered.

The media machines they own, including every market news site, fills every stream with deceptive articles of the 8 things billionaires do that made them rich and the 7 the plebs do that stop them from being billionaires, constantly defying them while shaming you for not being like or serving them better.

The natural state for any society where the elites live large while the masses struggle to survive is to DESPISE the elites, whether violent recourse would be suicide or not.

The love/deification for our elites by many of those they oppress is part of their engineered propaganda to keep it that way with their bully pulpit artificially, and that pulpit is more than loud enough to drown out and ruin the credibility of any prominent voices of reason. Easier for them to maintain the market capitalist machine like this than through overt slavery, they just convince the masses it’s in their interests to self-enslave.

We literally have child marriage in some states.

Please, tell people. We deserve to be shamed and judged for the gold plated shithole we are.

Also, we are extremely weird, backwards, and prudish about healthy adult expressions of sexuality due to our puritcanical roots, so we don’t even have any good to go with the bad. We’re a garbage place with a garbage culture all the way down.

A frightening liminal space between states of being. Not quite dead, not quite alive!
