No shit!!! 🤣

I work in the AI field (f.k.a. Tech) and let me tell you: the only ones saying it will have a positive effect on the U.S. are the executives and their lickspittles.

AI may have a positive effect in Europe. They have rules and stuff there.

Guess what? This user has been avidly online since the BBS days and really … posters such as yourself were very annoying back then, too.

Blessed be the fruit.

…and the women wash the dishes.

In the case of many GenX folks: “our turn” will never arrive. The Boomers refused to fucking retire and make room for us, and younger generations conflate us with Boomers because “old is old”.

Meanwhile we are working our asses off helping our elderly parents navigate an increasingly hostile health system (yay, capitalism) while giving our adult children a place to live or money to survive an increasingly impossibly expensive society. Can’t afford to save for retirement either.

“Hooray”

(fyi - I also think that term limits are the way to go here - finish your terms, then gtfo. None of this waiting around for 20 years for “my turn” and certainly none of that “just wheel the old corpse in and tell her how to vote” bullshit either)

This happened to me literally every single session at this one particular gym.

The worst offender was the dude who suddenly plopped down next to me (which was startling) while I was on the floor doing ab work and just started jabbering away. I just pointed to my ear bud and motioned him away.

Mother fucker, I’m here to work on my fitness, not talk to every rando that decides to chat me up.

I cancelled my membership that morning.

(Note that I am a woman)

This is very much my concern as well.

This was exactly my first thought.

And if so, that’s a double “fuck you” to Joe and everyone on his staff trying to keep this shit under wraps.

He should have just resigned the goddamn Presidency when he was first diagnosed JFC

They will still figure out a way to blame Biden/Democrats/DEI/woke agenda tho … and people will swallow it.

Agreed…Lemmy slightly reminds me of the early days of Internet forums/chatrooms/etc.

Yes, I’m old.

I beg to differ

I’m going to assign you a book:

Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals by Saul Alinsky

Do you remember when the right-wing dummies were all shrieking about this book, and how Hillary Clinton was mentored by Alinsky?

It’s because they were following the damn advice in that book - it’s like a checklist of what to do to take over locally, then statewide, etc

I wonder how close they anticipate that vote being.

My bet is those 3 votes would have made a difference.

Oh shit….I need to go get that!

(Speaking of books …. time to go see if that fancy hardback edition of Cibola**Burn is ever going to get released.

edit: it’s not coming out any time soon 😤

They absolutely were.

I’m grateful someone stopped my daughter’s suicide.

Right?!

Well, yes…and it’s been quite obvious for some time now.

I can’t have been the only person who noticed the weird sudden pattern of American Neo-Nazis with hot Russian wives a decade ago.

Stubborn and creative!

I like it :)

This was so unbelievably satisfying….Fuck you! SLAM … brrring …SLAM … brrring … over and over again
