Also much more addicted to service economy with little survival and self sufficiency instincts.

Anecdotally, very briefly dated a 40 year old who claimed she only ever cooked boxed food; had never even baked or microwaved a potato. Her words!

They’re the Gizmodo and Ars Technica journalist crowd exploiting slave labor while bitching about social justice. The 1984 double speak is strong with them.

America is a passive investor society. Like Trump thinking factories will just appear because he wishes it, Millennials wish to be enriched without giving a shit about externalities.

I base this entirely off their actual effort on the ground. Their "thoughts and prayers" may be cranked to 11, but my lived experience is they're even more disconnected from obligation to themselves than Boomers and GenX who at least spent some part of their life solving their ground truth problems.

They prefer socialism (which I am not against) because they realize they're screwed as individuals, they need help. Many probably expect they'll be served by it, not serving it.

Egh this is pretty "use unalived not died".

"Get out an English thesaurus and recreate Mona Lisa in different words."

If you really want to be a cognitive maverick, you would encourage them to make up their own creole, syntax and semantics.

Still, the result is describing the same shared stable bubble of spacetime! But it's a grander feat than merely swapping words with others of the same relative meaning.

You totally missed the point of "put this in your own words" education. It was to make us aware we're just transpiling the same old ideas/semantics into different syntax.

Sure, it provides a nice biochemical bump; but it's not breaking new ground.

That requires people feel he is trustworthy, so he thinks (I don't believe him) this rhetorical pivot is essential to earn youth trust.

They all been doing this; Zuckerberg with his Macklemore style update.

Not sure I get the pearl clutching over surveillance state; look at social media being used to cancel. Journalism and its history of reaching into everyone's lives. Religion's history. Self organizing groups surveilling the population are normal.

Everyone is a self selecting biology out to demonize and denigrate, insulate itself with prestige. In the end all of it is some form of randos trying to surveil and track people. The one exception I make is healthcare, spread of illness. The rest is mostly self aggrandizing nonsense.

First worlders with zero obligation to engage in manual labor to serve their biological survival have little to do but hallucinate up crimes, sins, immoral behavior perpetrated by others.

The only people we should be canceling and harassing are in Congress. Yet purity competitions about powerless neighbors rule Main Street. The American social cult is nothing but hypocritical randomly existing meat suits abusing 12-13 year olds in third world textiles sweatshops; from billionaire class down to retail cashier.

How Thiel knew is he has had access scholars and others saying this for years. He's seen the social media posts cheering on Luigi.

Rather than agree years ago, he rolled with capitalism. Now he's trying to fix his image.

Mamdani win. Boomers politicians that protect him retiring from politics, glitching out on TV, or dying in power. GenX being skipped over for leadership as they're all stuck in the 90s. He's got to ingratiate himself on a youthful majority taking over or end up dangling from the gallows.

He's not prescient. He's an opportunist.

Nah, we don't have that luxury anymore. I mean in a vacuum of data yes sure it's a physical possibility. But we have polls of public opinion and those polled express concern for their lives and story so far.

There is no simple binary choice. Inequality has been growing for decades. We've been discussing the unfairness the entire time. No revolutions.

The subtext of the joke is "killing people fosters change." I understood it just fine. You're hung up on specifics of contemporary cultural nature. The joke was not about the in world setup; writers (especially back then) used the Simpsons as a rice cake, a bland vessel to provide cover for the critique of their culture.

Not so much today where media is obsessed with fan service, probably to manipulate their perception of the world and keep them addicted. They need a lot of you's out there sweating the details, coming back for another bump.

"Fancy" citation when such things are commonplace. "Everything" yet more hand wavy melodramatic emotional terminology.

Your posts aren't constructive at all. Ignoring the painting to argue over a couple brush strokes, as they are terribly offensive to your sensibilities. If we were in a room together I would expect you to pull a up turns nose good day, sir!

You might consider going outside as circling trivialities with such emotional conviction is unhealthy.

Just went on a 5 mile walk myself. Feels good man.

My plan was/is entirely new client, mapped client state to SWG emulator server.

Godot is a pain given my workflow is pretty cli heavy though. Since I last touched that project I looked into switching to Wicked Engine. Just include C/C++ headers rather than Godot.

But job got interesting (am an EE in hardware development land) and I have to spend free time diving into AI model architecture to keep up. Both SWG projects have sat idle for 10-12 months now. shrug
