Sure of course. There was a time before a lot of the symbolism we have today. There was a time before Grey Aliens and Frankenstein, Area 51 and Mad Scientists.

Trump is having trouble with Mearsheimer's blob.

It's an outrageous stealing of working class imagery. Every one of these CEOs would fire any worker low enough to be doing manual labor. Those people are faceless and without context or circumstances to these people.

Probably better off simulating the impression without the company name on display.

Son of male sports figure is a rapist, is such a common occurrence I suppose they must brag about exploiting women sexually a lot and their sons decide it's acceptable.

Taxes are deflationary (they are the death of money), rather than cut spending - you could just slap a bunch of taxes on Musk and others hoarding of wealth.

That's the problem with spending cuts, you might be cutting deflationary spending, or price stabilizing spending. Not all spending is inflationary.

A homeless person often costs the government more than an unemployed person, because usually they're gonna still be collecting some benefits here and there, often they end up in jail, or are more likely to use public housing, or do crimes which need policing/court involvement... It all stacks up.

Preventing people from becoming homeless is deflationary.

The profit motive, price gouging, and auctions are all inflationary. They raise prices.

As governments fall in love with these things and care less and less about fair prices, price competition, and price regulation - you're going to see more inflation (being ripped off = dollar's buying power shrinks, being protected against that = buying power grows).

When companies decide they just need a few high end customers to sell a premium products to, rather than compete for the majority of the market - you're going to see inflation.

Capitalism is inflationary.

I'd need time durations on the size changes... But obviously the size changes.

Other comments indicate you also get heavier, a bath each morning followed by exercise could be interesting with the extra weight.

Also you'd have documentaries made about you. It's a completely novel behavior... And what happens if you soak just a part of your body.... Your penis for instance?

The glowing? Technically you could already do that, genetic scientists have already created glow in the dark pigs, so glowing seems similar. No more hiding in the dark, you're a beacon now. If a mugger or the cops are chasing you... Oh there you are. Not really helpful like being three times taller and heavier because you had a bath would be.

Sounds like a programming humor post.

Most definitely AI.

The first two paragraphs of the article confirm it's AI generated. The only one denying it is the ad agency.

It's a lame thing that happens now and then and feels orchestrated like it's an attempt to brand lemmy as "quirky" or like early reddit.

It's sort of like watching someone who doesn't understand what a joke is come up with a meme.

 

Does Friendica for instances, have something like Facebook Messenger going on? What would be the best for real time communication on both phone and desktop?
