- Comment on Why The American Dream Became Unaffordable For The Middle Class 2 weeks ago:
If a lifestyle isn’t possible for everyone, then it’s an unsustainable and violent privilege.
Most people in USA don’t realize how their privileged lifestyle is based on the exploitation of the planet and other people. The most mediocre of white people will have a mcmansion with a grass lawn and a few SUVs.
TBH it’s disgusting and it won’t last.

The Jinan International Communication Center was the third most amplified account whose posts the cryptocurrency groups have shared. Its content was reposted over 2,200 times.
This is literally inconsequential. Just VOA doing what it does: propaganda.

It just takes one person to notice and tell everybody else that the teacher is setting a trap.
Once the word goes out about this kind of thing, everybody will be double checking the prompt.
- Comment on Clever, clever 2 weeks ago:
I can write a comment or even effort-post just fine, and I can type 100 wpm
Sure, because these are things that meaningful and worth the effort for you.
it’s just something about structured writing that makes me feel Ill.
It’s probably because the topic is contrived, the assignment is pointless, and the point is filtering out people instead of education them.
- Comment on Clever, clever 2 weeks ago:
There are lots of people who are bad at long tedious multiplications but still work productively in math, science, engineering, etc.
That’s the point of computational tools. The problem isn’t the tools.
- Comment on Clever, clever 2 weeks ago:
The point of writing papers for school is to evaluate a person’s ability to convey information in writing.
Computers are a fundamental part of that process in modern times.
- Comment on Clever, clever 2 weeks ago:
Ok but will those students also be deceived?
- Comment on Clever, clever 2 weeks ago:
Maybe if homework can be done by statistics, then it’s not worth doing.
Maybe if a “teacher” has to trick their students in order to enforce pointless manual labor, then it’s not worth doing.
Schools are not about education but about privilege, filtering, indoctrination, control, etc.

Me too. I was fairly raging until I read the rest.
- Comment on Your politics can affect whether you click on sponsored search results, new research shows. 3 weeks ago:
If I get a search result that’s an ad, I scroll down to click the non-ad result. It’s probably pointless but it’s somewhat satisfying.

Cool story about grifting with “AI” and crypto.
It’s funny how they try to distinguish between between “bots” and “ai agents”. It’s the same thing!
- Comment on Are 'micro-apartments' converted from offices the answer to the housing crisis? 3 weeks ago:
My work abandoned their offices during covid. The building is being converted into luxury apartments. Capitalism is fundamentally based on the deprivation, not the satisfaction, of human needs.
