And the bit about Trump being the problem? He wasn't president when shit got started! I'll blame a lot on Trump. He's almost always the problem, but Biden owns this one.

Seems like “winning” would indicate being better off than when you started the war

It’s not like the dem establishment ignoring the left is a new problem

Only one I can think of is NFTs and crypto, but you were probably looking for things that were good and not scams

I think the US should return to life as it was when I was a kid: I specifically didn’t worry about bills and my teachers were pretty good. That’s my dream for America. Me not having to worry about stuff and someone else doing the laundry

"I am considering several options. Given the level of business tonight and your personal interest in your job, could you rate the difficulty level you would prefer on a scale from 1-5?"

I'm pretty sure the rule is that religion he doesn't agree with and politics should be seperate.

The saddest one of these was the one where a woman asks Gemini for help coming up with a nickname for herself. That would be "hemingway poem about baby shoes" levels of sad if it ever actually happened

I'm a therapist and I often think about how a lot of my job could be replaced by more vibrant communities, and then I think about ChatGPT being used as a shoddy replacement for me (already a suboptimal replacement for community). It doesn't make me hopeful

You know how lots of people think crime is higher because of how it gets reported? That’s a phenoma worth remembering when assessing the economy, no matter if you are doing it via stats or skeets.

I’m of the mind that talking about people as “good” or “bad” is just too simplistic. People are capable of good and bad things based on the conditions and incentives they face

Like a bakery replacing staff with a bread machine

It’s like telling Vance he needs to be more careful when talking about how to be an amoral toady!

And how many people's jobs would be at risk solely because of the arrest

It feels like we might have reached an inflection point where we kind of stop expecting budgets to come from the legislature and assume the executive will figure it out. Which is bad

It’s certainly possible that he didn’t realize it made him look like Jesus. But that sure seems like he would be an a-religious grifter with pudding for brains.

What a strange and delightful experience. I'll be honest, if there was a pill that would cause me to fold my laundry and get some donuts I might be willing to accept the loss of memory

So, Leo is anti Trump and they picked him to be pope because he would be good at working with Trump?

We really are witnessing the kind of deal making genius that’s leads to a failed casino

All. Pig. Men.

Grape Nuts Flakes is a product that exists and misses the whole point.

Aren’t the phones necessary for that take to be true? I suppose the algorithm also lives in your laptop, but it’s the phone that makes it omnipresent

It really is the default

I think the world feels less stable now as well. Shit was rough in the early oughts, but there was an assumption (at least in the context I was living in) that things would stabilize. And then it just kind of didn’t. If you’re 25 now you are looking back on a whole lifetime of crisis after crisis

Joel's got a himbo energy I can't help but root for

There are a lot of rich people who decided that crypto was a scam and then moved their money into AI. Eventually, they will recognize that AI is a scam and will find some other boondoggle to through their endless money at. Almost makes you wonder if rich people are so innately smart after all.

The comparison to SBF does seem pretty apt, though

The chance is only small because the media might forget or be too embarrassed to admit it. He is already that level of scammer

People posting about Iran tolling the straight: is that actually confirmed or is that pulled from Irans proposed peace plan? If it’s the second thing, I think you might be doing a misinformation.

Remember when Bill Clinton spoke to his AG for a few seconds privately, on the tarmac, and the US media, following the instructions of bad-faith wingnuts, made a huge multi-week scandal out of it?
