actually yes, figuratively is the word that i should have used.

The article is well-written. I wonder how many employees will still be needed in 10+ years from now.

In case you haven’t heard about it, the labor market is regulated by supply and demand. That means, if there’s less demand, but supply stays equal, wages decline. That’s what people experience for the last decades. If this trend continues, demand for human labor might become very weak. That’s why people for one can no longer rely only on the incomes through the labor (wages), but need good safety nets (Universal Basic Income, UBI).

And also, demand for labor is another way of saying “how much are humans needed to perform tasks”. What if humans aren’t needed? Will people be ok with that?

You don’t need much of the things they market to you.

Today i learned i don’t need food …

exactly this. i suspect that in any parallel universe with god, there comes a time of enormous stress right before the eternal paradise that awaits behind it. that is because we have to be waken up, and that can only be done through a rough time.

so, in a certain sense, the current circumstances of long work hours aren’t so much avoidable as it is an unavoidable part of history that we have to go through. As such, “we” are the consciousness that carries us through these difficult times.

be glad you weren’t born on a desolate island surrounded only by sharks and inhabited only by poisonous food

point is, don’t compare yourself to the worst alternative. labor hours spiked around 1800-1900, but were significantly lower before and after that.

feminism: now women can get exploited too

the keyword you need is “DDoS protection” i guess

it keeps the server from getting overloaded due to too many requests

What’s bothering you?

• Is it to give out data for AI training? I guess you can’t fundamentally protect against this, except by limiting how much content is provided to each address.
• Or is it the resource strain that it causes on your server? In that case i recommend limiting how much a single client / IP address can request in a day.

yeah at a certain point it becomes a trade-off between “no geopolitical dependence on uranium” and “no geopolitical dependence on something that is currently produced in china, but could be produced anywhere if we tried hard enough”

it’s a trade-off. the average generation curve depends on the inclination; each has its pros and cons

power is the best thing in the world to work in right now, it touches sooo many aspects of humanity and is changing so fast!

I don’t think everybody who makes a bad claim is a troll. A lot of people just are that stupid.

the same goes for me for all makeup & decorations

sorry i tried to find this meme, but after 15 minutes i gave up trying to find a higher-quality one, and settled for this one.

and my SO actually wears only the bottom of the bikini and goes bra less to the beach

There actually is a drawing challenge (called MensSwimsuitChallenge) that tries to depict this.

cognitive dissonance

Probably the closest space any guy could get is AA or NA meetings.

what do these abbreviations stand for?

Would you mind giving the community a name where it can easily be found? Such as /c/mental-health-men or sth.

I used to like and look up to SpaceX for the interesting stuff that they build,

but nowadays i don’t care anymore. The company can fail for all i care. Musk spoiled it.

The tipping point, for me personally, was when Musk seriously threatened to slash public spending in February this year. It shows a clear disrespect to the people, and frankly, a sociopathic attitude.

Musk had everything, lots of money, lots of fame, lots of influence, but he threw it all away when he decided to threaten the wellbeing and lifelyhood of a lot of people just so that rich assholes can make an extra buck through tax cuts.
