Either way I’m good. Animals have had a good run. Time for the fungi to take over.

Mining is a terrible job for humans to do. Automating it has saved millions from death by Black Lung or cave ins or a thousand other things that can kill you in a mine.
The problem is with the notion that everyone needs a job. We could employ everyone if we paid them to dig a hole and fill it in every day. We could be living like retirees, but all of us need to go to a job for eight hours because an anti-Semite wanted to steal workers from his competitors.
To put this in terms Civ VI players will understand:
MAGA wants a synthetic technocracy
If Europe follows the Estonian model it will be a digital democracy.
China is doing optimization imperative.
The wealthiest 10% of Americans own 93% of the stocks. I’m glad to hear they’re hurting and not anyone else.
Trump is doing by accident things I’d never hoped to see in my life: The end of American hegemony, unification of Europe, the fall of the petrodollar, the elimination of the fake wealth on Wall Street.
But I can’t stand the motherfucker.
The end of the American Century was when this asshole didn’t go to the memorial for the centenary of the end of WWI. Because it was raining.
“This ordinary person wants a voice in government. Is that even legal?”
Back in the 50s they claimed automation would lead to 20 hour work weeks and that our biggest problem would be filling our free time.
They didn’t account for people making up bullshit jobs and both political parties making “MOAR JOBS” the only thing they agree on.
The teacher in this scene was played by Ben Stein, who was a speechwriter for both Nixon and Ford. His father also worked for Nixon as an economic advisor.
Great now I’ve got both Fetterman AND Oz in my damn government
Gonna make it hard to talk about home REDACTED loans
If you can grow two things it should be potatoes and pumpkins. Just about a complete protein, and they’re easy to grow and store for long periods.
I’m willing and able to pay to not have to deal with humans.
Instacart and DoorDash mean never having to talk to humans
The Real World: Idiots but I have to put on pants.
Lemmy: Idiots but I don’t have to put on pants.
So I’ve still got about even odds of encountering a fucking idiot when I meet someone.
Remind me why I should ever leave the house.
Strom Thurmond has been infinitely ratioed by a black man
I voted for Kamala and I think this is performative.
But performance is incredibly compelling to the psychotic apes who rule this planet so maybe it will help.
I’m not hopeful.
Strom got ratioed
Add in “gay space” and I’ll agree
