I’d upload a few languages. Instantly being able to speak and read an array of languages and traveling the world would be fun.

Shower thought with no evidence:

Perhaps some big news will come out that distracts us from this soon. It’ll have to be pretty wild to distract us, so buckle up.

But… my follower count! /s

I’m hopeful and fearful that in the next four years more people will actually figure out who the real villains are. The cracks are really showing now. I just hope working people realize they are being divided and start to push back and demand basic human rights.

Every scene in this movie is a work of art. It’s so rare for a movie to check as many boxes as this one does so perfectly. it has humor, a love story, action, Alan Rickman, a heist, and most of all Christmas!

Happy holidays everyone! Hoping you can all get together and have a few laughs with your loved ones.

No

That’s how I treat them. Maybe with a bit more nuance: I’ll upvote for something funny, informative things, or general good takes. I’ll downvote if someone has a bad take, is unnecessarily mean, or is generally incoherent.

If the comment doesn’t spark a reaction I just keep scrolling.

They Live, Office Space, Fight Club, maybe big Lebowski

This seems like a sensible consumer protection to not let the ad company control the biggest web browser. I won’t hold my breath, but I’m glad they are trying something.

AWS should also be split from Amazon.

I work because I enjoy healthcare, food, and shelter. The system has always been rigged, so you just have to find something you enjoy (or can tolerate doing). Ideally try to think about things that make you happy and can pay you, and maybe try doing something in that field.

When I go on vacation to tropical states there are always some overly tanned boat captains that just drive drunk tourists around and get paid decently well for it. I always think about those guys when I’m having a hard day at work, “man, they sure figured it out”

I mute them, look away, or go to another room. Can’t let the bastards win…

They are super common where weed is legal. People fly into somewhere like Denver for the weekend to catch a show. Rather than buying a reusable battery, they will get a disposable vape (and probably some gummies).

Then it ends up in the landfill or as litter. I am in favor of making these one time use electronics illegal (along with single use plastics like balloons, plastic silverware, etc… but that is another thread)

It’s infuriating are schools aren’t doing a better job.

It won’t be over when it’s over. If Trump loses we’ll never hear the end of how he was cheated and maga people will get extra weird, maybe violent.

If Trump wins, we’ll have trump for president, which from experience is also not normal.

I’ve been writing code professionally for nearly two decades, and I love having copilot available in my IDE. When there is some boilerplate or a SQL query I just don’t want to write, it’ll oftentimes get me started with something reasonable that is wrong in a couple of subtle ways. I then fix it, laugh at how wrong it was, or use part of the proposed answer in my project.

If you’re a non-corder, sure it is pure danger, but if you know what you’re doing it can give you a little boost. Only time will tell if it makes me rusty on some basics, but it is another tool in the toolbox now.

The other option is for all the mods to quit. AI can probably do a lot of basic tasks, but without mods they wouldn’t have a site pretty quickly.

Ultimately I plan on subscribing to the Mark Twain VR OnlyFans on my Meta headset. It’ll be $20/mo for the ad supported tier. The ads will be directly loaded into my neural link so I can’t look away.
