In
Future Shock,Alvin Toffler argued that society is undergoing an enormous structural change, a revolution from an industrial society to a “super-industrial society”. This change, he states, overwhelms people. He argues that the accelerated rate of technological and social change leaves people disconnected and suffering from “shattering stress and disorientation”—future shocked. -from WP

- Comment on Can Bash aliases be nested? 3 weeks ago:
Should work. Just try it out and see if you get what you want. I tried:
alias llaa='pwd && ll'then ran
llaaand it did what I expected, current directory and ‘ls -al’ which is aliased. - Comment on Oh Shit 5 weeks ago:
If I found out someone bugged my bathroom, I think I’d apologize for what they heard.

Browsing responses here, you aren’t wrong.
- Comment on AI bots now beat 100% of those traffic-image CAPTCHAs 1 month ago:
It seems like every other captcha I get has a picture of a moped and asks to click for a motorcycle. When I don’t click on the moped it says I’m wrong. Pisses me off.

Jealousy-> ENVY - Comment on Why is the internet overflowing with rubbish ads – and what can we do about it? 1 month ago:
Anyone who wasn’t around then can’t really know what they missed.
- Comment on What started “weirdo” as a slur just recently? 2 months ago:
As I read somewhere recently, there is good weird and bad weird. You know which is which by how the target reacts. Almost all my friends are weird. Good weird. Except for Steve.
- Comment on First of its kind 'energy dome' storage project takes another step forward in Wisconsin 2 months ago:
This seems kind of inefficient, but I love all these large-scale energy storage attempts. And these people are a hell of a lot smarter than I am.
- Comment on New Cobalt-Free Silicon EV Battery Is The Best Thing Ever 2 months ago:
I’ve decided to just ignore battery hype and tune back in when it’s time to swap out my house battery in 5-10 years. Hopefully some of the vaporware will have actually materialized in the market by that time.
- Comment on What is the safest way for a partially disabled person in the USA to use prison for food and shelter as an alternative to dying homeless in a gutter on a cold rainy night? 2 months ago:
My symptoms are similar to yours, if not quite so bad. I can’t walk more than about 50 yards, or stand for more than 10-15 minutes. I have tried for disability after my physical issues made me quit my job (after a couple of decades being a teacher for the same school district). I moved back in with my parents. Sucks to be in my 50s and stuck like this, but at least I have a roof over my head. I’m in north OC. There is zero help until you run out of all options and all money. It’s really fucked up. Good luck.

I’m happy for a new streetcar line that is almost done in my area. My happiness is pretty pathetic and sad.
- Comment on why isn't anyone calling for Trump to drop out. 4 months ago:
The illegitimate SCOTUS failed to rule on his 14th Amendment disqualification because they don’t care about The Constitution. The fact that he is even a candidate shows how many republicans wipe their asses with the document.
- Comment on Google Message Attachment Error 5 months ago:
When I have that happen, it’s usually someone (I’m guessing on iPhone), sending an attachment to a group thread. It shows up in the group thread, but then it’ll pop up in that person’s individual thread and give me that warning. Not sure if that’s what’s going on. I think it also sometimes happens if I’m using the browser on my desktop for messages.
- Comment on How to opt out of the privacy nightmare that comes with new Hondas 6 months ago:
I guess when/if I buy another car, I’ll look into gov’t fleet auctions.
- Comment on How to opt out of the privacy nightmare that comes with new Hondas 6 months ago:
Remember when gov’t banned Furbies (sp?) in some places? Seems like they would make the same decision for a lot of people in important positions regarding their car purchasing.

- Comment on Joe Biden Hands Out Obamacare to Illegal Immigrants 6 months ago:
The GOP attitude toward Dreamers is just another side of their bigotry, hate, and short-thinking ignorance. We, as a society, want people to have access to health care for a multitude of reasons. But not the good ol’ GOP shitheads.

That was hilarious.
- Comment on Elon Musk Laid Off Supercharger Team After Taking $17 Million in Federal Charging Grants 6 months ago:
I’m OK with grants for certain things/times/whatever. But it seems like if the owner is worth billions and comes to the gov’t for a handout, the gov’t should just tax them correctly and say,“No you.”

Could have just said “billionaire”. The arrogant and above the law are a given.
- Comment on "Bernie's Failed Four Day Work Week" 6 months ago:
If greedy business owners alone determined wages, then surely workers wouldn’t be paid. So why do workers get paid? Well, as any business owner will tell you, valuable workers have alternative options. If you underpay good employees, they’ll find something else to do. Maybe they’ll find a new boss, or maybe they’ll start their own business.
Ha. What a load of bullshit and stunning ignorance of the history of labor in the US.
