  • Rich people who are less and less connected with those they pretend to be on the same side of. There is also a lot of entitlement of thinking they know how everything works and they and only they have the right answers from most of the user base of Lemmy. That’s a curse from everyone that’s here thinking they are “smarter” for being here than traditional social media.



  • Democrats will go down blaming the other Democrats that kept warning them of other centrist voters calling them Russian shills.

    No sense of self blame and simply calling everyone else idiots cause they didn’t see their idea of a perfect future that no one else was included on.

    Apparently a whole party of “being right” is not a good way to get others to join you.

    I caught one trying to be in my bathroom and decided to be “nice” by tossing it into my basement.

    Down there the entire floor had been sprayed with insect repellent from signs of fleas and roaches, there has been signs of mice and lord knows what else down there too.

    2 days later I found it dead having made it all the way to the staircase. Definitely one of the strongest showings in the Gauntlet but not strong enough.


  • People don’t know these things or they assume and project the idea all they did was have power and that’s all that needs to be done to maintain it.

    Maybe it’s our attention spans are shorter to even deal with it, maybe it’s just that we are so comfortable in our existence plus so overwhelmed by knowledge that it’s easy to just pick parts you like and assume it will all be fine without the struggle. But we are to busy lying to ourselves, and just carrying on as expected I think, to pivot until forced.


  • Half a liter per kilowatt hour. That’s the average water use

    It’s like the idea of recycling plastics with water.
    Not all of it is reusable to the same degree. A good portion of water has to be evaporated off to cool down the exterior towers plus water isn’t really infinitely usable in these loops. It gets gross or full of materials.

    Another thing that people need to remember is generating electricity uses the water here as we literally don’t use many methods that don’t involve water, we are not on a green grid and neither are these huge data centers for the most part. We boil it for the electricity then have to use additional to clean the system after.


  • Oh everyone is into toys and roleplaying right now. That’s the theme of the era.

    Pretend.

    Pretend to do business like your daddy and then sit back and watch number go up. Pretend the new algorithm system is some super future app. Pretend we can just undo it and that we really have control over everything we do.

    Heck, even most politicians aren’t actually bringing plans but simply roleplaying what they think is the party or level of conservativeness needed to just make it work a little longer.

    No plans. No thoughts towards the future. Just now and how to make it feel more right than be.

    Honestly I really should just be locked away for everyone’s, and my own, safety.

    I was one of the original patients that spread swine flu in the US in 2009 after a trip to Mexico. I now have vaccines for everything from yellow fever to typhoid cause I thought I might spread it too.

    My stories should probably be in a leather bound book of things not to do that people argue whether or not it’s allegorical when it says “do not trust the boy who brings back diseased cloth for all his friends”

    Edit: same vacation I broke 6 ribs falling off a cruiseship and had to be rescued by the Mexican coast guard actually.
    Train wreck.

    Hahaha my Japanese instructor in university was not particularly good at his job and when I told him I was planning to drop he told me I shouldn’t cause the class would just get easier as it went.

    When it was past the drop period he confided in me that he was actually only trained in Chinese but the kanji was about the same so was filling in until the school could find a real Japanese instructor and that he only needed a few more hours for tenure and if I had dropped he wouldn’t have had enough students in the class for the hours to count…

    I think Universities are broken just from the level of economic and social stress making people just be less involved in their work and more in themselves.

    It’s easier to keep the mill grinding than to stop and make sure it’s working properly.
