Personally, I view it as propaganda still, but I don’t view propaganda as bad inherently.

Propaganda to me is just an organized effort to persuade a larger audience of people politically. Its only bad if the aims are harmful unjustly.

So people organizing a take over to reiterate “No fucking Nazis!” Is a propaganda campaign, but its based.

Societal collapse? No gold won’t save you. Tools and how to use them will.

Maybe during hyperinflation though.

Gods not a terrible investment but it doesn’t have a short term ROI just a REALLY long term one.

I hate Bitcoin but its probably a better investment (and just as useful) than gold.

I’m a fudd though and ONLY buy stable stocks that yield reliable dividends though. ETFs, S&P stuff.

Then the media cycle that would have been about the columbine shooters is about the mad stranger who killed two innocent high schoolers and vanished.

I respect that Steve was able to control himself and only make a 25 minute video on this.

Oh wow, I got all the important parts didn’t I?

Crazy…

TL:DW;

Mr. Nexus still thinks its news that, under capitalism, production of luxury goods will always be sold to the highest bidder and not “the masses”

I didn’t watch it either. But its about Micron no longer selling consumer ram in favor of the AI industry customer.

"Yeah we lost all credibility with our fans and people who still play our games are generally seen as uncultured sheep with gambling addictions. And the culture we do have is massively attractive to racists, creeps, and bigots. Were not taken seriously as an exports option.

But boy did we make a fucking KILLING selling Nikki Minaj skins"

Well seeing as its invite only still. Probably not yet.

I doubt anything that tightly under the creators control is going to be “soiled” yet

I don’t have pride in my government or its actions.

It was actively causing a lot of harm for most of its existence and is now turbo charging its ability to enshittify the world.

The LEAST I can do is make it clear we’re not all in support of this shit.

Love the country and people though. Lots of cool forests to roam and lots of people who don’t suck.

Nah you about got it.

That’s cool.

Proton drive Linux support when?

Oh man, Teams +Outlook + Office 365 + onedrive +Copilot?

So good for office shit. So bad for hood practices.

“Hey copilot I’m pretty sure I got an email asking if I had an SOP on X. Can you find that email and the SOP?”

“Copilot, using the recording of the teams meeting ‘Training from Vendor X’ and my notes on ‘Tool Y’ can you compile that into a FAQ sheet for us?”

Sure it misses stuff and is only so good because none of the data is private, but man that’s 90% of my work load for SOP making. Worth the $400 a year corporate pays for it.

We go to a buffet by the lake.

Its honestly really nice not having to Cook, but it does feel quintessentially american to make someone else do it.

I was not going to buy a gabencube but now I might.

The only real knock against him is the child gambling with lootboxes thing, but that’s seemingly going away very slowly.

I can see how you’d struggle to find youtubers who aren’t sucking Musks toes if you’re watching AI news people and Russell Brand.

But trust me, choosing to simply consume content that isn’t so negative is the quickest way to find rational people.

I personally really like Alex O’Connor right now. He does a lot of engagement with religious and philosophical type people. He’s an atheist who’s just genuinely trying to understand.

Not specifically. I just remember how much Thunderf00t made me an angry atheist for a time and how unpleasant that was mentally.

Looks like he’s on a hyper Musk hate train now. Which while based I’m sure his content is still very toxic to consume.

And I don’t wish that on anyone.

I think a real hobby would help with your mental health…

That makes sense. I’ve never wanted to play bedrock so I’ve never tried.

Sorry other poster.

What are you talking about? When was the last time you tried this?
