Turns out it’s all a scam. AGI is a fucking pipe dream for the foreseeable future, and all that debt they went into was for nothing but to make a few rich people a little richer. Big business has been fucked, but as usual, it’s the rest of us who will pay for it, because “trickle down” has always meant that shit flows downhill.

Also, Elon with hand on forehead, “So that’s how they do it! I knew it wasn’t Lidar!”

Good on you for leaving it. Boosts engagement and eff em anyways.

Also, I didn’t know titles could be edited. Is it not like Reddit in that way?

Meme source: 2009 movie, Race to Witch Mountain.

To me, who saw the original Escape to Witch Mountain in the theater in 1975, this meme is fresh.

You’re trying to communicate. I can feel it.

Gen-X here. I showed my Gen-Z kid how to build a gaming PC, and then he showed his friend how to do it. So, now, they’re the “IT” guys for the group.

The kid has been sitting in front of a computer since he was four. It occurs to me just now that I didn’t really teach him anything about file management, drives, etc. He learned the same way I did, I suppose. By wanting to, and searching for answers. He was the first one to switch to Linux a couple of years ago. I don’t know his motivation for doing it, but it prompted me to make the switch soon after.

I was in a similar situation, till about eight years ago. So, what happens as more and more of us Gen-Xs retire?

Is AI going to fill the gap? I sincerely doubt it.

I mean, they’re close to illiterate, and can’t focus on reading anything longer than two paragraphs, according to what I’ve read on /r/teachers. Phones don’t have apparent file management, so they don’t know about it.

Idiocracy indeed.

Conservatives ordering at the drive through now getting scammed on drinks because theyre too scared to ask for no ice.

Every day I lose more ability to spot satire. I seriously can’t tell in this case. It could be true. It really could.

I managed to come up with a clever and innovative solution to the problem though; I gave up and worked on something else.

There ya go.

No, ICE is what cops would be if cops had fewer constraints. It might seem like cops have no constraints, but they do.

We need protection from them, they don’t need protection from us.

Whenever any one of these assholes opens their yap in public, the only response they should hear back is, “You need us. We don’t need you. Shut the fuck up.”

We “peasants” are the only reason the filthy rich have what they have, including food, and clean water to drink. They need us, we don’t need them.

Fuck these useless leeches. Billionaires should not exist.

My not-a-good joke that I’ll say anyway is, when someone asks my age, I’ll say something obviously too young, like 25. They’ll smirk or roll their eyes, and I’ll continue, “I am twenty-five years old, but I’m also sixty.”

No one has ever laughed. And, that’s why I keep saying it. Someday, someone will laugh, I just know it!

Onion on a grilled cheese? Yes, please. And, some green olives, too.

It’s there so you can change the light bulb on the wall sconce.

We need term limits for Congress, always have. Assuming there’s any Congress left in three years.

The minute anyone gets that level of power, they’ll do anything to keep it, especially the vulnerable ones.

Monday: “It will rain on Saturday and Sunday.” (Makes no outdoor plans for the weekend)

Wednesday: “It might rain on Saturday, it will rain on Sunday.” (Still no outdoor plans)

Friday: “It will rain on Monday and Tuesday.” (Too late to make outdoor plans)

Doesn’t rain for the entire month.

So, what were the plans for entertaining the co-worker?

I thought I’d miss Windows more than I do, but there was no way in hell I was going to install 11.

Glad I switched. Literally, the only feature I miss is the big, multi-format preview pane in File Explorer. That was very handy.
