Eh we’re already seeing massive drops in skilled labor. The political environment will create food scarcity in 12 months. It’s already paying to be able to fix your home and car. Can’t imagine what next year will bring. Probably unemployment for many.

Yea time to fill up the garage with portable generators and nintendo switch
- Comment on Mark Zuckerberg personally lost the Facebook antitrust case 1 week ago:
Yea i guess the most simple explanation, that is most coherent with the rest of the administration’s actions, is that it’s just a mob style shake down of every major economic player. Pure extortion as the japanese said.
But ya its funny to see the SEC and DOJ neutered and then actually used against big tech. Ironic and poetic, and fucking stupid. It really burns at the senses, and creates confusion.
- Comment on Mark Zuckerberg personally lost the Facebook antitrust case 1 week ago:
Absolutely. As an investor and enjoyer of US markets and economy, I am truly terrified at the ramifications of all this. No safe harbors left to hide in and it appears to be hit the economy with a wrecking ball, and funnel the remaining funds to elon. I’m not so interested in US markets anymore and i can imagine this will have a lasting effect on investor confidence and companies bottom line.
What confuses me is if you steal all the money and destroy the stock market and USD in the process, what do you even do with the stolen wealth?
- Comment on Mark Zuckerberg personally lost the Facebook antitrust case 1 week ago:
We’re in post law society, I can’t even believe the trump admin is going after tech giants. So i believe anything is possible here. I can’t imagine anything the admin does will be good for society so maybe its safe to assume they will be broken up so elon can buy a chunk?
- Comment on The therapy I can afford 1 week ago:
Oh I know, I’m not a kid and I share your concerns for media literacy for future generations. Part of media literacy will be learning AI. Kids will need to know that reddit is removing real people, and replacing them with AI’s which are harming the AI data bases. Iran and China make propaganda tick tocks and that gets picked up. Russian disinformation seeps through right wing media and into the internet and onto AI’s. I was just talking to the AI about it yesterday it’s very aware. I’m aware. My mom has no idea, and is addicted to facebook products. Media literacy is the problem and there’s really no way to teach it to the people left behind. I’ve been a student of it my whole life and its still a pretty complex problem to grasp. It is made worse by AI. but the solution is not, ignore AI. It’s a tool and if you don’t understand it it will be a tool to control you.

Usually it will pull up sources when asked. “ChatGTP you said “x…” could you please provide a source for that information”
- Comment on The therapy I can afford 1 week ago:
To be fair, it is actually quite useful from a business standpoint. I think it’s a tool that you should understand. It can be a crutch but it can also be a pretty good assistant. It’s like any other technology you can adopt.
They said the same thing about Wikipedia/internt in the early 2000’s and really believed you should have to go to a library to get bonafide sources. I’m sure that’s long gone now judging by literacy rates. You can check the AI’s sources just like a wiki article. Kids are going to need to understand the uses, and drawbacks of this technology.

That was a wild read, im suprised i missed that misadventure.

- Comment on It's a sin in Christianity to consume media based on ancient mythology and folklore? 2 weeks ago:
No. but you could losely apply thou shall not worship false gods. However learning, and worshipping are two completely different things.
Christianity was formed long before there was media, so there are no scriptures that prevent you from enjoying media, and last i checked nothing that prevented you from learning.
The sin is saying someone like Donald Trump is Jesus, and worshipping him in your home and the house of god. That’s what’s sending everyone on a first class ticket to hell. You’re cool tho. Coming from a Catholic with a lotta guilt.

I was going for Barney Stintson but i will take it! glad it had some voice
- Comment on Call it an excuse. I call it therapy 3 weeks ago:
Mmm those physical withdrawl symptoms are something once you’ve been at it for some years.
Also it makes you fat! You may not notice now but you will! Took me 2 years to sweat all the gin out. I still drink on occasion as well. I know all to well the cycle of drinking making work suck, work making you want to drink, wash and repeat. The end result is fat, sad, and physical addiction that makes your hands shake.
- Comment on Call it an excuse. I call it therapy 3 weeks ago:
Yes I just wanted to add a meme to the meme. but if you wanted a psych anal: I think that someone who looks for inconvenience to drink, is probably frequently inconvenienced. They are already maladapted to negative stimulation, and instead of confronting that problem in a healthy manner, they are tricking themselves into thinking is therapy.
This isn’t a fun problem drinking meme, this is just a cry for help. There’s certainly a time and place for drinking, I usually think celebrating and spending time with loved ones. If you’re drinking because something upset you, you are creating a habit that even non-alchoholics will have a hard time kicking. It invites more misery into your life quickly. Medicine and a poison. Intentions matter. If you liked this meme and thought it was funny, it’s not, and its never to early or to late to quit and seek help.

Oh so you don’t care about actual americans. Thats all i needed to know. I’m not whining, im doing fine myself. Clearly i didn’t die from Oxy overdose and im happily retired forcused on gardening. I just care about the people who’s lives were ruined, i forgot empathy offends you fucking snowflakes so next time i’ll tone it down. Good luck feeding your welfare dependant family memebers this year!

I just described rural America. From sea to shining sea. Did you actually have a historical fact? It sounded like you were just were just speculating without conculsion and casting judgement like that was the only intent you had.
- Comment on Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. 4 weeks ago:
You always gotta think about use lazy users too. Settings are great but you actually need to draw people into a level they want to customize. I’m almost there thanks for the heads up! I’m coming from the lemmy.world url. It’s not bad it’s just not good. It’s great for us older folks but I can see where it would create an age gap. The trend of people who enjoy windows 97 UI is declining.
- Comment on Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. 4 weeks ago:
You are right, but as I sit here and use Lemmy, I can’t help but think while being a perfectly functional forum, it lacks aesthetics. What I’m looking at is Windows 1997 High contrast text editor. It tickles my nostalgia, but I can see why Reddit has a broader appeal. People like gimmicks, as much as they like aesthetics and simplicity.

Oh I thought the American dream was having crony capitalism destroy your small business and send you to work at the Walmart that replaced you. Only to have to rely on government benefits because its the only job in 50 miles and it pays $7.50 an hour.
Thats the rural american dream baby. Sprinkle some opioids on it. It’s glorious.
