The ROI for corruption in this country means that any business not actively pursuing it is cheating their investors.
That math needs to change.
One of the cool things about getting older after your dad dies is that sometimes you watch a comedy routine and can’t stop crying. And it’s not even related.
There’s a big fat guy who lives across the street from me. We’ve had block parties for the last 8 years. He’s never come. Nobody knows him.
Occasionally he has a big party and 20 or so cars park on the street. Like once a year. It is so weird. 8 years and I don’t know his name.
The bicycle gang has long since retired, and now I’m hearing screech owls calling.
So glad I bought this place right when boomers were selling their rental places they got in 2006 and before all the city people bought houses here after COVID wrecked the economy.
Everybody has an anxiety disorder. I think that’s to be expected. Either you do or you’re blissfully unaware.
The problem with that is that it’s easy to trigger you with stupid fears. You already have those.
“AI” is not going to destroy the world. Regular morons will.
Tech people may know things ypu do not, but that’s because you aren’t a tech person. And you most assuredly know things they don’t. Like how to be a normal human. I’m not particularly good at that, but they definitely aren’t.
Do you think they should control the world?
Today I visited Lost River State Park in WV. It reminded me so much of a property my dad kept where he used me as free labor. I have great memories of that place and it hit me harder than I anticipated. He died a year ago in two weeks. Here’s a weird video from it
And the sweetest, saddest guy I ever knew as well. He taught me to think and feel. And to be a better dad to my children. Sometimes through positive examples, and sometimes through negative ones.
For the last few years, I gave up on avoiding the criticisms.
It is dusk, almost dark and there is a whole gang of kids riding bikes around my neighborhood. That makes me so happy.
I think it’s rude to pick on somebody with a mental disorder, but is there anybody who finds Cassie Pritchard’s kinks to be acceptable if a white man has them?
Sorry, but she seems like a predator.
If Leftism has a blind spot, this is it.
My daughter just started college and hates the food.
She’s requested that I bring good food when I visit her shortly after her 18th birthday.
My plan is to bring down jerk-marinated chicken, some chicken rice and some beans. She told me “no soup.”
Is that normal?
I’m upset that mainstream media has put me in a position where I feel reflexively defensive of Hasan Piker.
I don’t even watch whatever he does. I think gaming is dumb and streaming is worse. He just says normal ideas provocatively. Big deal.
Celebrity worship is always dumb.
One of the great things about getting an English degree is that I never thought I’d be paid well for a job or be considered important.
So I did stuff that was just work and it gave me time to think. And read.
Nobody ever told me I was smart for choosing my line of work
Coked up AI CEO:
“Yeah man (sniff) it’s like super reliable. Umm we’re in beta on this next project but it’s like (sniff) pretty much good to go as is.
Drunk Defense Secretary:
“We could use this to replace military intelligence?”
CUAICEO: “Yeah man. Totally.
DDS: “lets fuck”
Uber.
That’s the tech we should consider when considering AI.
It broke laws everywhere it went. First regarding taxi regulation. Then labor laws. It burned through capital without a profit until it was everywhere and destroyed an existing industry. Then they raised prices.
