You want a toe? I can get you a toe, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don’t wanna know about it, believe me. Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o’clock this afternoon… with nail polish.

I do. It’s the last one.

How in the hell do you find a 3 word title misleading? Hackers got access to Roku accounts.

The only thing that makes US crazies different is the easier access to firearms.

That’s because they can “see” people working instead of, you know, using any actually objective metric.

Welcome to Mildly Infuriating.

Rest assured, my cat and I are perfectly fine. She’s actually quite cuddly at times even when she’s all aloof. I’ll be on the couch watching TV and she’ll just mosey up next to me without making eye contact. I just wanted to make that joke comment.

I spent most of my 20s in nightclubs. As a patron, bartender, and manager.

There’s no fucking way you’ll ever catch me in one ever again.

They’re just the modern way to monetize the mating ritual, taken to an absolutely ridiculous extreme. It’s pretty fuckin disgusting.

My cat expresses love by promptly ignoring me for 23 hours of the day until feeding times.

They’re dissociating the numbers on the right from their normal 2-digit value into being two separate 1-digit values. 16 is not sixteen, it’s a one and six. The value of 2 is between 1 and 6.

Same goes with 3 being between 2 and 4.

Then they do even more delightfully dumb shit when extrapolating this logic to 4.

In reality, the things in OPs image are just $8 a piece.

What I’m saying is that this commenter is a fuckin savant.

Ah, the classic Mendoza solution.

Make no mistake, I am not confusing the two. In fact, the whole point of my previous post is that the problems come from the latter and not the former.

Social programs and monopoly busting worked quite well in American history, despite what many people may currently think.

We have governments, they should be for the people. They can craft legislation that protects people and ensures their economic livelihood.

Only in Australia

In fairness, this is not a new danger. Koch media affiliates have been doing this for decades.

It’s still absolutely dangerous, just didn’t need AI to be so.

You’re a grown ass person, you can make your own decisions.

Historically speaking, “adapt and move on” is a euphemism for “live in abject poverty if you don’t already have another skillset or income stream.”

For example, look at the Luddites. While the term is now used to refer to people who oppose progress, they were originally a group of craftsmen who opposed the industrialization caused by the invention of the loom. While the tech in itself is objectively good, it was the implementation by the elite class that threatened their livelihoods. They went from making decent livings in their skilled crafts to having the options to either 1) work for pennies in triple shifts at dangerous factories, or 2) fuckin riot.

I’m not arguing on behalf of the Luddites, but context is important. In order for “adapt and move on” to be viable, there needs to be a system in place that values the humans involved.

It’s called b
