I get my rizz from Jizz

This is quality

You get what you voted for

I think about this often, and for me its a hard thing to let somebody I love go. If there’s a chance I’d keep holding on- come as often as I can, read and so on. Unless I was told explicitly that they wouldn’t want that. But even then, people change their minds. Like in the article, some people in non verbal states can communicate that they are happy enough. Heart wrenching stuff.

Seems like everyone forgets their civics class but voting for a president is not the place to make your voices heard for issues.

You’ll typically have the top three choices: A democrat A republican A throwaway third choice

For most it will be voting for the lesser evil. Because the alternatives can mean rapid stagflation, war in the middle east, supporting paedophiles, and a myriad of other problems, while the other is essentially maintaining the status quo.

For proper change you have to organize locally, vote for local elections and keep pushing your representatives to represent you throughout the year. By the time primaries come around, typically candidates are already known figures and the party points are gathered from data throughout the year.

Honestly, after a certain point I feel like all the posts about people saying they would rather not vote at all despite the two distinct choices are some sort of psyops campaign to bring chaos to the world.

I can’t wrap my head around people seriously being more okay with this criminal in office than an imperfect candidate.

To properly answer this question one must look inwardly. To do that one should follow these steps:

1. Stop using social media
2. Explore your interests
3. Support yourself financially
4. Find a way to incorporate healthy food into your diet
5. Exercise regularly
6. Go out and meet people
7. Make friends with people who will support you

Then ask yourself: ‘Is looksmaxxing still relevant?’

I suppose if were talking about people just being selfish assholes then yeah I feel what you’re saying. My only gripe is comparing economic outcomes of very different countries with different historical context.

I’m not convinced by your comparison to Russia and China. I don’t think either of them really have anything to do with Reagan or Thatcher. I dislike them but I think their influence outside the western world is minimal.

The privatization of Russia was done before the soviet union even collapsed and was just wealth being consolidated under a different system by those in power. There was never a free market.

China was able to become the powerhouse because in the 90s Deng Xiaoping eased communist policies to allow private businesses and they entered the WTO. Even so, there has never been a free market in China either.

Otherwise, I don’t disagree.

The only thing these dirt bags listen to are investors.

The longer I look at it the more funny I think it is, but in a sad depressing kind of way.

It’s the grotesque representation of the hatred of programmers. Execs want to replace expensive software developers at all costs and non programmers look at software devs as lazy and overpaid, who don’t do a real job.

I wish google would stop being evil

True. It all depends. That’s no better.

The open floors that I’ve experienced typically have a long tables parallel to the window where everyone is crammed into, with meeting rooms towards the inside of the building.

Yeah, that sounds awful too. I never hear good things about the game industry.

I don’t know. My first job was in a cubicle and it was in the middle of a large floor. There wasn’t any natural light and the cubicles spread in all directions for what felt like forever. Like, its nice to have your personal space but it sucks to have the hours blend together because you’re in a liminal space where you can’t tell if you’re alive or dead.

Painting cement actually is a great thing. It protects the floor

Nothing quite like using Chinese censorship for American censorship!

Indeed! Seems like people have forgotten that AI is not just LLMs.

Honestly, I misread your post to be self defense.

Sadly, it might not help you. A wrong look in their direction can mean being shot in the face.

It’s not racist. It’s just what Chinese people started meming Xi years ago and the CCP government overreacted. Simple as that. Its what happens when an authoritarian leader gets flustered about their image.
