I’ve kinda seen this in manufacturing for the last few years. Not explicitly “AI” but newer equipment designed around being smarter and not requiring skilled operators. Think like WordPress but for industrial machines; it might do basic stuff pretty well but fails at complex operations, and it’s an atrocity if you ever look behind the scenes to do some troubleshooting.

hyper-exaggerated, racist caricatures of 19th century Americans.

It’s literally impossible to exaggerate the racism of 19th century Americans.

This was a big deal for us because my dad had just bought a “TiVo” like a month before, so we could watch and replay this in real time like some magic space wizards.

The things is, Dems could have given us a single payer system but they specifically chose not to. They could have completely removed the risk of losing healthcare for everyone but they chose not to.

Poor guy didn’t realize the mall ninja store was replaced with an Adam and Eve until he was half way home with the whip and handcuffs.

It’s the tactical box cutter and whip that makes this illegal. Take those out and add in 4 more guns and everything would be fine.

This is informally already a thing. Most lenders largely ignore medical debt so they can lend more and take in those sweet interest payments.

I’ll always drop the exception that it’s potentially worth voting in local politics, particularly in small remote communities. These vary in frequency and often don’t always overlap the major elections and are largely ignored.

City and county positions can have a real tangible impact on your daily life and the amount of votes to swing these elections can be really small in a lot of America. It’s still an uphill battle against landlords and small business tyrants, but it’s something real local organizing can overcome.

This one made more sense in my brain

This actually hits pretty good for me, having lived in rural religious hellhole america most of my life. Had to learn pretty early on how to regulate my vocabulary to keep many of my peers from going red and fuming.

In my area they just finished a bunch of low income duplexes in a utilitarian metal building style. Not necessarily a bunch of pushback, but there’s loads of negativity over the look and style; purely superficial shit.

I find it funny because those low income metal buildings are gonna outlast the quarter to half a million dollar groverhaus communities that are popping up everywhere here.

Also a lot of “cant have sex out of wedlock or else maw maw gets big mad” and these guys have no clue how to use birth control so they can’t even pretend to be celibate when their partner ends up pregnant.

Probably One Piece with my wife since she got into it a few weeks ago.

One of mine absolutely loves to shover her head down shoes. Sometimes she gets a little stuck and it sounds like a one legged man is hopping around my kitchen at 3am.

It doesn’t count when you’re the Good Guys.

Thanks for sharing this. I already had some self realization when my kid was diagnosed, but this book has been incredibly eye opening.

Still processing a lot of this, so I don’t have much to say right now. Apparently I have most of the traits of “female autism” so I never would have gotten a diagnosis anyway being as a young boy.

More like cheapass CEO ass death by cheaping out on critical supporting wire

Not pictured: Black mold in the walls, sagging floors, questionionable electrical work.

This is a fairly common process in the American manufacturing industry. Build up a good productive workforce, do layoffs to lower the payroll budget, then ride on the wave of profits.

It’s big short term gains that shareholders love, but generally destroys most of what made those profits so good in the first place.

Uh no, id rather not.

Honestly looks like he just dumped a bag of shallots into cream of something soup and then topped it with some cheddar cheese. Nothing about that really seems appealing.
