  • Lemmy, what is your "I'm calling it now" prediction for the next 10 years?

  • China has the manufacturing capacity and manpower to challenge the increasingly inefficient American military in a protracted war of attrition. Assuming the nukes don’t drop.

  • There are more Republicans in California than Texas. Secession is not gonna happen.

  • Is private Internet access (PIA) still a good privacy option,

    Jump

  • Ah, that's good to know. Thanks.

  • Is anyone else getting a bit of schadenfreude from the news each day?

    Jump

  • No, dude. People are going to die over this. A lot of people.

    Democrats are complicit at best, and each day they seem more like collaborators. They won't save us from fascism because they don't want to.

    We're fucked beyond belief, and it's going to take a long time for people to realize how badly.

    What would happen if Americans stopped buying new consumer goods for a month?

    Jump

  • Maybe... You shouldn't have to be on a shoestring budget? Maybe this economy should let you support yourself more comfortably.

    And maybe you should be the recipient of mutual aid during a general strike if you need it.

    Jump

  • This is where mutual aid comes in.

    Share cash with people who need it. Pay their bills, pay their rent, pay their bail money, pay their medical expenses.

    The capitalists will hurt people to try to get you to stop boycotting and striking.

  • What is the legitimate use-case for generative AI?

    Jump

  • I sorta disagree though, based on my experience with llms.

    The email it generates will need to be read carefully and probably edited to make sure it conveys your point accurately. Especially if it's related to something as serious as insurance.

    If you already have to specifically create the prompt, then scrutinize and edit the output, you might as well have just written the damn email yourself.

    It seems only useful to write slop that doesn't matter that only gets consumed by other machines and dutifully logged away in a slop container.

  • What’s an album you thought you would like at first but ended up disliking after listening to it?

    Jump

  • Every other queens of the stone age record is an instant classic. They're probably my favorite band and I genuinely dislike half their stuff.

  • What's some good news from election night in the US?

    Jump

  • Not currently. Except for starvation wage retail. Tech hiring is still mostly frozen and smaller companies tend to just copy larger ones.

  • Soft thunder in distance rule

    Jump

  • No it the fuck is not.

    The rain won't guide you though your emotional literacy journey while you unpack trauma, challenge your own insecurities, confront uncomfortable truths, and rebuild your identity.

    Though it might help you sleep well, which can also work wonders.

  • Autocorrect Rule

    Jump

  • Nothing like cabbages, women.

  • Do you value high fidelity (audio, visual, or other)? Do you notice a difference?

    Jump

  • You can get very good stereo speakers and a quality amp for a few hundred bucks.

    The idea that you need to spend thousands is a myth. It's more about form factor than specs. Sound bars suck. Full range woofers don't.

  • What was the worst band or singer you’ve ever listened to?

    Jump

  • Sizzling hot take, lol

  • What's the most extravagant thing you've bought for your pet, and do you regret it?

    Jump

  • Came here to say:

    • thyroid medication
    • obstruction surgery
    • cancer surgery and treatment
    • cardiology to treat dilated cardiomyopathy.

    Probably cost $25k over the years. I'm extremely grateful our pet insurance covered 80-90% of that.

    Dude just turned 10 and he's healthy and happy enough to start treating his arthritis.

  • What occupation requires the most education/training only to be very low paid?

    Jump

  • You couldn't be more wrong.

    All my teacher friends wind up working 10 hour days on average.

    They work during breaks.

    They work during summer.

    Good teachers don't just show up for classroom time then disappear.

  • What occupation requires the most education/training only to be very low paid?

    Jump

  • Teaching.

    College degree mandatory, graduate degree preferred.

    Yearly continuing education costs.

    Out of pocket expenses for classroom materials.

    Sometimes providing food for kids who don't have it.

    Famously low salaries and very long hours.

  • What industry secret are you aware of that most people aren't?

    Jump

  • Most people can't afford new cars, let alone new cars priced way above average.
