SkyeStarfall,

Capitalism doesn’t get checked by consumers, there are a billion things too much to properly pay attention to and no viable alternatives.

It gets checked by either regulations and laws or replacing it with something else.

SkyeStarfall,

Nah, just monster

SkyeStarfall,

My natural diet includes energy drinks, ensuring I have a nutritionally balanced intake that includes B12 :)

(I say this jokingly, but it is literally true)

SkyeStarfall,

I mean, I don’t buy a GPU for the box…

SkyeStarfall,

Also, humans are not machines, we need rest and relaxation. It’s debatable for why, but life would be a lot more boring if we didn’t have a need for relaxation, art, recreation, etc. Just pure work for survival.

SkyeStarfall,

Yeah, it’s about as useful as saying that all of science is “just statistics”. Which like, in a literal way, it’s true. But science is still what forms the foundation of our entire civilization and base of knowledge.

Knowing that a blood pressure drug works is “just statistics”, but you still take it if your blood pressure is high.

SkyeStarfall,

Also important to remember when people are talking about queer identities being a “new trend” or whatever

It’s not

We just got erased from history

SkyeStarfall,

It’s enough to look at how much stuff is available in a supermarket, or in the average, home, to know we live in an age of abundance. The problem is, is that abundance is not shared, but hoarded.

We have enough food to feed the world, we have enough production for everyone in the world to have a smartphone and internet access and electricity. We can make clothes for everyone, we can home everyone. We have enough healthcare for everyone.

By an objective measure, we have abundance, we have enough. The world is just severely mismanaging our resources and the distribution of them. Because the economy doesn’t work for humans, instead humans work for the economy.

SkyeStarfall,

I feel like I hear this story repeated over and over and over and over and over… everywhere.

At what point will we stop letting the business types degrade our human civilization for their egoistic short-term gains?

SkyeStarfall,

What if we just funded infrastructure directly instead, rather than doing a weird stadium middle-man?

SkyeStarfall,

Part of language (which memes are a part of) is changing it to express new ideas and new forms of humor.

SkyeStarfall,

Yeah, go straight for the logical extreme, as if there isn’t a middle-ground here.

SkyeStarfall,

So then why are you criticizing people demanding change?

SkyeStarfall,

We are 8 billion people on this planet. There are enough humans already.

SkyeStarfall, (edited )

You’re assuming that people whose parents are shitty will stay shitty, which is absolutely not the case. We should invest in education, mental healthcare, and child protective services to help prevent that.

SkyeStarfall,

I hate the excuse of “making fun of everything”

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

SkyeStarfall,

Humor isn’t harmless, you are affecting the quality of life of minorities if you punch down on them for no reason.

SkyeStarfall,

I don’t see why we wouldn’t be able to control our tails, just as much as we can control our facial expressions.

SkyeStarfall,

Nah, it’s just that corporations will obviously want to be as positive as possible! After all, happy people are more exploitable/profitable people!

This is literally how the fake happy cyberpunk dystopias happen.

SkyeStarfall,

You’re right, teacher salaries are lower in the US than many of these countries.

SkyeStarfall,

BDSM and kink is just being nerdy about sex

SkyeStarfall,

Yeah, Mozilla is doing good work, and AI is here to stay. It’s all about making and using AI ethically.

CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information (futurism.com)

You know how Google’s new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won’t slide off (pssst…please don’t do this.)...

SkyeStarfall,

Kind of has been, not in a scientific manner, but there’s the whole phenomenon of “feral human”.

SkyeStarfall,

Tone indicators like /s are vital for neurodivergent people who struggle with understanding people’s intentions, especially over text.

In addition, you probably underestimate the amount of miscommunication that happens over the internet due to strangers communicating with each other without any tone indicators at all.
