- Comment on Why don't people like Melon Tusk get tired of the shit they gave you pull through literally every day ? I mean doesn't the guilt of bad decisions pull them down enough like the rest of us ? 2 days ago:
They evaluate reality with other priorities. To them it seems like they are doing good.
Almost all cruelties are committed for the greater good. People just disagree on what is good.

This explains the ignorance of global warming perfectly.
- Comment on In North Korea, your phone secretly takes screenshots every 5 minutes for government surveillance 3 days ago:
if it were the same, you wouldn’t have been allowed to make this comment.
It works both ways. Is OP allowed to make the comment because he is priviliged or because he is powerless and no threat?
Remember the McCarthy era. There can be more restrictions if needed.

Developed by Xerox and Canon in the mid-1980s, the existence of these tracking codes became public only in 2004.

Does that taste like avocado?
- Comment on Ironically, people making fun of the "Gnu/Linux" copypasta is probably one of the main ways people know what Gnu is 5 days ago:
Not sure if that’s the reason but I heard that gnu was chosen because gnus, the animal, are essentially one herd spread across Africa. A gnu that loses its particular herd, e.g. while crossing a river, can join any other. Supposedly that’s not the same for other herd animals.

The couples that argue all the time, they hate smalltalk. Just tell him to bring out the trash.
- Comment on Techno feudalism, here we come 1 week ago:
It’s like machines replacing farm hands. It’s the end of feudalism because the peasants are not needed anymore. The feudal lords won’t make the profits but the factory owners and the mining owners.
If the AI companies are the mines, what are the factories?
With AI, essentially everybody starts at middle management or above because the grunt work is automated. Now it’s all about allocating resources, acquiring clients and creating new products.
Somebody has to monitor the AIs and write the prompts. It’s middle management for everybody.

They had to. If life in western Europe would have been worse than in eastern Europe, people would have elected communists.

If you don’t come to America, America comes to you.

Those were concessions to look good compared to communist countries. There is no need for a good impression anymore.

- Comment on A growing number of young chinese people are avoiding Starbucks Coffee. US executives are furious. 2 weeks ago:
Because it represents the tipping point where America lost its dominance. Starbucks doesn’t sell coffee but an affordable access to experiencing the American way of life.
If Starbucks loses its appeal it means that people stop looking up to America. Students won’t dream of becoming a scientist in America, business men won’t long for participating in the American economy, consumers don’t care about buying American products for being American.
All American products from now on have to compete on quality and service. This changes the value of the products and the value of the work that American workers deliver.

Lemmy should start developing a game to finance the development of the community.
- Comment on What's the worst spelling you've seen? 3 weeks ago:
The names were first. The locations are named after names.
Even America was a name first.
- Comment on Google's AI now listens to your English language phone conversations 3 weeks ago:
Like always, google is doing things for free to get training data.
All things are going into an authoritarian direction which needs control of the opposition. Google will have the infrastructure to identify people with opposing mindsets. There won’t be a rebellion if the rebel leaders can be locked up in time.

It seems like you escape your inner conflicts by being industrious.
Not professional advice but instead of going, you could halt posting for a moment and focus on your breathing. It will assure you that you are safe, and you can let the conflicts become a bit more aware without feeling overwhelmed by the terror. Do this for some time and you create the space to transform your conflicts.
