Ironically, one of the defining features of the techno-cultists in Warhammer 40k is that they changed the acronym to mean "Abominable Intelligence" and not a single machine runs on anything more advanced than a calculator.

And Millennials faced the same thing when graduating college right into the wake of the 2008 crash. Thousands of dollars in debt where paying the minimum could leave you owing more than you started, and into a job market flooded with not just recent graduates but many veteran workers who had lost their jobs. Baristas with Ivy League degrees and no social safety nets.

Told their entire lives that good grades and a college degree were the path to happiness and a job better than flipping burgers at a McDonalds, only to graduate and be called entitled for not wanting to flip burgers with your masters degree.

That's incorrect. Man-man, who has 7.19% of all anthropology degrees, is a statistical outlier and should not have been included.

The majority are art majors, obviously.

Isn't it an opt-in by default program that pays artists commission fees for using their art? Or am I thinking of a different company.

Whichever one I'm thinking of, the Gen AI was for website templates, and that's about all I can remember other than reading about it and thinking "this is how it should be - gen AI to spit out hundreds of templates for buttons on websites that nobody wants to make."

Ignore them, looks like a conservative propaganda account.

@mods are any of the posts in this instance actually balanced or is it all just left leaning like reddit.

1 day old account, two words bunch of numbers name, claims that the cesspit that is Reddit is "left-leaning." The bot farm is starting up here, it seems.

Just some examples I pulled up in some quick searches. One specific to Cape Cod that I know of that's not mentioned here is the damage to fragile beach environments due to trampling delicate beach grasses by tourists who either don't know any better or don't care. The beach grass there is easily killed by walking on it, which not only destroys the environment that many creatures depend on, but also leads to rapid destabilisation and erosion and full on loss of the beaches within a handful of years (5 to 10 at most). It's such an issue that there are constant beach patrols of environmental officers across more than a hundred miles of beaches every summer.

If you're looking for something to game on, I'd also recommend checking out Bazzite. It's built on the same version of Linux as the SteamOS and comes with stuff like Steam and Nvidia drivers pre-installed. There's also a guide on the website for things like how to install it in a dual-boot setup.

Skill issue? Maybe. But conjecture? Hardly. The data says that across New England summer tourist towns consistently have the highest rates of drug usage, alcohol addiction, homelessness, and highest CoL for their region. And this is in large part attributed to the lack of job opportunities outside of the seasonal tourism sector, expensive prices caused by the focus on wealthy tourists, and the competition for housing caused by both landlords seeking seasonal rentals and the wealthy buying or building summer homes that will sit empty for 9 months out of the year. This is also backed up by the findings of the committee in my hometown that was created to solve the issue of young people moving away and the looming crisis that will happen as the town becomes more and more one massive retirement home with too many retirees and not enough staff.

Of all the people that I knew who grew up in my hometown (which is at least 2 generations of teens that I trained at work plus my generation), I found 2 types of people: those who left and never went back, and those who never left and never will.

Hard hard disagree. I grew up in a tourist town, and every kid I talked to for over 20 years had one goal on their mind: getting out of there as soon as they could. Job opportunities outside of tourist focused seasonal industries were practically non-existent. Your choices were wait-staff, landscaping, or deli/grocery store clerk. Any other industries had at most 1 business in the single industrial park in the area. Tourists destroying local beaches was and continues to be a major issue. Everything closed after the tourist season so there's nothing to do other than drink or do heroin, and during the summer there's too many tourists to be able to go out and do something. Tourist areas consistently have the highest rates of substance abuse and homelessness. Low wages from low skill industries focused entirely on serving the out of town seasonal tourist economy combined with high CoL as prices are determined by what tourists can pay, not locals, and little long-term housing as rentals are focused towards short-term leases for the tourist season and competition for housing is fierce with wealthy out of towners buying summer homes.

They were shitholes outside of the tourist season anyway. As somebody who grew up in a similar town across the pond, tourism competes with and pushes out all other industries. Tourist towns have the highest rates of poverty, homelessness, and addiction in the area.

There's a town here where up to 80% of the housing is seasonal. There are about 1,000 year-round residents, and the town can see up to 60,000 people at the height of the summer tourist season. During the rest of the year, there are like 3 stores that stay open to service the locals, everything else closes for the next 9 months. They don't even have a local school system because there's not enough kids to make it worth it, so the kids have to be bussed to other towns for school. Not that the people who own summer homes would allow for their tax money to go towards something like that anyway. That would drive up their property taxes!

Pretty much, yes. In tourist towns leases are often short-term leases that only last up to a few months. Landlords want those places available for the tourist season so they can charge a premium to tourists looking to rent a place for a week, and so they only lease up to the start of the tourist season and locals have to find somewhere else to live.

I once saw a video called "Spelunking on the Spectrum" which is about how some of the main characters in Dungeon Meshi have been picked up by the autistic community as representing 3 main stereotypes of autistic individuals, and one of the things said in there has always stuck with me: the idea that the same traits in autistic men that are seen as strange or off-putting are seen as womanly, demure, or attractive in some other way in autistic women. Simply because of how those behaviors are perceived or interpreted based on the gender and appearance of the person performing them.
