People have been saying this on reddit since before I left reddit.

I used to be a huge user of all the drama subs but they started getting formulaic and obviously bullshit before I even considered leaving.

So more energy use for what they people that are into AI are calling a worse model. Is someone going to get fired for this?

I would say the are farther ahead in the state controll aspect at the very least.

for refrence Walmart has had me in the "applied" stage of resumee review on their shitty website for nearly a month. I don't think people quite get how bad it is. I had to wait for a spot to open up to interview at McDonalds that I'm still waiting for because the closest one was two weeks out.

Can we all agree that the UK is a literal police state now? It can't get more on the nose than this.

You know just because a fascist says something doesn't make it untrue right? Like always double check what they say but them saying it doesn't make it untrue. The UK is following so much closer behind the US than some people want to admit. Hell half of Europe is still an elections away from ending up with a far right candidate. Now that Trump has been president for a bit I wonder how much of that immediate reaction you saw with Germany will continue.

Do you realize how hostile the outside is to non-adults? Like genuinely I've seen people call the cops because there was a kid riding a bike unsuprivized in a suburban neighborhood. Malls are dying and there's nothing to replace them as a meeting spot.

This isn't even getting into the seeming requirement to spend what feels like 100$ to see a movie now or any of the other stereotypical hang outs. Or how many people have parents that simply do not have time to drive them places.

I'm genuinely interested in your response because I genuinely think the world has become actively hostile to kids being kids.

I've been seeing enough of what the UK police does recently to belive that there is definitely some other reason that these cars were apprhended.

Heaven's gate might truly be the most fascinating cult to me because I think everyone involved was a true beliver.

I knew it was somehow windows fault. We should obviously be running Debian.

Hey where's that guy who keeps recommending crypto as a solution to problems.

This is why it's not.

Yes. I'm unsure of where I heard it so take with a grain of salt but I've heard they make about the same number of calls to Google servers as a stock android phone.
