Preferably after enslaving them and sucking out as much surplus labor as possible

So many don’t understand just how wildly inefficient bureaucratic hierarchies are; what happens isn’t the most profitable thing, it’s the whim of whoever managed to claw their way highest up.

Basically, the decisions are the manifestation of the artificial stupidity of brute force.

Yeah, I was pretty much at the stage of end it, or try SSRIs. That was 10 years ago, and you can see what happened!

Well, everyone is going to have to get to the last stage of grief and accept that leading a normal life in western countries just isn’t possible anymore. Infinite profit seeking is a cancer that’s currently killing the host, and traditions of bourgeois paths to success just aren’t viable. Everything’s coming right on down and so many people are still in the stage of denial, which sucks because they always make it everyone else’s problem until they get past the bargaining phase (which sort of seemed like what you were talking about here in terms of “role model example” being sufficient to save their kids from the total societal collapse in-progress).

So very well put. Right, the pyramid scheme seems to be toppling — in the metropole, it was sustainable for a generation or two, but even then only given the somewhat extraordinary circumstances (expansion of the neocolonial empire).

Good idea with voice-to-text notes to populate the list.

The second-highest hit gives a clue as to why:

Relevantly to Lemmy’s existence in the first place, it suggests Reddit as a pretty pivotal training data source, which Reddit tries to cash in on while also killing 3rd party apps due to apathy

Wow, the most recent GTA game is still ten years old?

How did you find this post? It’s outdated

Because liberal mystification with fancy-sounding concepts made to make you feel dumb so you don’t realize it’s just creative surplus labor value expropriation

The "you would be good for my kids!" incident happened twice. One time the kid was late teenaged; another time there two elementary school-aged children. Both of these rentals were in-law units.

I think both times, the idea was that I could be some kind of role model because I did empirically have a job that allowed me to rent at that high rate they were charging? Parents, especially those that can only afford a house here because they bought in the 90s, realize that their kids will have to move away (or live at home), and are foolish enough to think that (1) kids will be inspired by me to be, essentially, bougie, and (2) even if they were, they'd have some reasonable shot at doing something beyond just… renting here.

Both times, they tried to 'set me up' with the kids by having their kids come out to intercept me with small talk as I walked to the unit in the backyard (the kids themselves seemed fairly uninterested), and it was uncomfortable both times.

Both times, I sort of politely blew them off and just went in my unit.

One of these places, I had to leave when it turned out there was also a pitbull they pretended wouldn't be loose in the back yard, but, turned out, was, and attacked me every time I went to the unit. (The pitbull was set loose a few weeks after the kid intercepting incidents abated).

The other, I left for mostly unrelated reasons.

Also experienced at least three situations where landlard was insulted that I wouldn’t befriend them. When I was torn to see it, they even said stuff like “oh, you would be good because you could spend time with my kids!” Like, no. Leave me the fuck alone. I’m not buying my way into some NPC petit bourgeoisie family, I’m just looking for a roof over my head

Can’t believe relevant xkcd hasn’t been posted.

Ah, I see, basically, by being reformist, it’ll ultimately amount to naught. Fair point.

Refreshing to be critiqued from the left — it’s so good to have hexbear federated here now

Same — I don’t recall a single sports-related post — not even a meme. Maybe my instance already defederated from all the home servers of these communities (I think that’s how it works?).

Wow, I thought for sure this was DALL-E.

Shows, I suppose how the existence of these things cheapens what would otherwise be a sense of awe or appreciation.

This may come in handy 🏀

Holy shit the reason for tee never really clicked until I saw this post. I’d used it in pasted commands, but it had always seemed superfluous.

I don’t see how the second hand you mention is at all in tension with the first. In fact, it seems to be supportive of it. More worker power means less corporate constraint.

Almost like they’re creating the problem in order to sell the “solution”

track id????

Lmao, I remember trying to do that dance and skinning my foot on a jagged floorboard

My friends’ parents were mad but in retrospect, sorta on them for having that janky floor

Username related, occurs intermittently in such a setup

So it’s basically “some stuff is E2EE, other stuff is not” which, absent knowing which is which, boils down to no E2EE at all.

What if the malady is mere pain and inadequate well-being perception?

Bread, too, starts molding before you make it to the cash register

On Memmy they’re acceptable but a bit wonky by shoving their URL in. Kopmala animates at least

Oh, I also remember that but I was actually referring to an episode that may have had another name. Basically, they were watching Amber’s cat, I believe, who proceeded to shit in the litter box.

They all tried to ignore it until someone was just like “ok holy shit that’s vile, I’m choking over here, what do we do?” And they proceeded to try to brainstorm how to do the very obvious task of scooping it and/ or removing it / the litter from the premises somehow.

Sorry to late response, lemmy.Sdf went down right after I posted the above (coincidence?) so I didn’t actually ever get notified of any replies

If the scientist is attempting to make science their means of gainful employment, the realities of grants and publications heavily favoring positive results may make them reasonably disquieted.

Covering edge cases in leetcode be like

At least here (supposedly) all bots are labeled

Weird, but almost nostalgic experience to be a Chapo head since The Poop Touchening episode or thereabouts, follow it from Reddit to Chapo.chat, then hexbear, then sort of fall out of touch with it for years, then see it pop back up here on the fediverse.

Hmm

To return the shopping cart is an easy, convenient task and one which we all recognize as correct, the appropriate thing to do

to be fair, productivity is divorced from wellbeing under the current system (i.e., automation lowers wages/ removes jobs), and so creating work for an employee (i.e., the Keynesian "digging holes in the ground and filling them back up") is not an insane position.

Nothing happened because he forgot to uncomment the commands im_stuff.jpg

Oh shit, I forgot they used to do unlimited minutes only to the same carrier, so long-distance gf and I had to coordinate our carrier choices
