Depends if my wife is around.
- Comment on Guess this is where I’m at now 2 weeks ago:
I do it in bed.
My brain likes to loop every scenario that can happen during the day (When I’m at work. When I’m off I’m just a house cat). So I always set my alarm at least an hour before I plan on getting up (I can start my day at work mostly on my own schedule).
So say my alarm goes off at 4am, (unless I’ve woken up 45 minutes before it) I hit snooze. And I just lay there in the dark, snuggle the dog, get comfortable, and let my brain work out all the anxiety and situations it needs to. Alarm goes off, my brain knows it’s 4:15am. I have 45 more minutes. Get comfy, stretch, let brain work through the noise.
Fast forward to 5am. I get out of bed, get dressed with my work clothes already for me at the end of my bed. I let the dog outside while I pour the coffee I prepared the morning before on a timer into my big travel mug, wait for dog to come back inside, kiss dog, kiss wife, grab keys and go.
I’m normally out of bed and out the door in roughly 15 minutes.
- Comment on Robots will solve wealth inequality, they say 2 weeks ago:
Until robots can drive revenue for corporations by spending actual real dollars, everyone being poor is a bad thing.
Capitalism used to be about getting move money, improving previous things, and making more money. Now it’s just about the next quarter.
Eventually that next quarter won’t go up. Because not enough actual humans can afford to make line go up. Companies will lay off more people and there will be even more people who don’t make line go up.
Capitalism has a hard end. Not a soft one. Eventually there just is not enough money for every day people to make money. When you funnel all of it into the top 1%, unless you’re just trading money back and forth or hording it while the world burns… What happens after the latter? What happens to the multiple multi-trillionaires who all of a sudden can’t find plumbers to fix their mansions, pilots to fly their planes, or chefs to cook the famine they created?

I’ll travel from Canada just so I can take a shit on his grave.
- Comment on That's how the world works. 2 weeks ago:
Hey bud. I’m Canadian. I’m Canadian and North American. If anyone ever called me an ‘American’ I’d punch them in the throat. The last thing I ever want to be compared to is your dogbowl of a country.
- Comment on That's how the world works. 2 weeks ago:
No one has. I live in Canada. If anyone called me ‘American’ I’d take compete offence to the word. If they called me North American, I’d nod.
OP is an idiot.
- Comment on That's how the world works. 2 weeks ago:
North America is Canada and the USA. And there’s also central America, which isn’t included in those two terms.
Just casually ignoring Mexico as part of North America says everything I need to know about how intelligent you are.
Name checks out, you’re obtuse.
- Comment on That's how the world works. 2 weeks ago:
Are you American? Then yes it’s your fault. This is because of the USA.

This will only affect poor countries.
This is a remarkably ignorant statement. Gas in Canada has skyrocketed over 40 cents in the last week. This will absolutely affect grocery prices. I’m a local truck driver for Dairy Farmers of Canada and the fuel prices will limit transportation of goods and we will see not just fuel prices rise but grocery prices across the entire store because of how expensive it is to transport anything now.
If you don’t think this will have a catastrophic rippling effect across dozens of industries and factors, you’re completely hopeless. Lumber will cost more for construction projects. Food will cost more. It will cost you more to mail a package to a friend. Everything will go up because of this. This is a seismic global economic shift and it’s all because the USA elected the dumbest fucking person to lead the USA.

We value your call. Unfortunately we don’t value our employees so we are experiencing a limited amount of agents to take your call because we don’t pay them enough. We thank you for your patience while our slaves work hard to deal with your frustrations with our enshitification of our products. They have nothing to do with it but we know how much our company has pissed you off. Your call will be received in the order it was received. Your current wait time is… SEVENTY. FIVE. MINUTES. We appreciate you as a customer.

All to overthrow a foreign government because they might harm America’s economic interests.
If a communist government has that massive of an effect on the US economy, maybe the US economy should change how it economies.

Consciousness doesn’t mean it doesn’t have defencive measures.
Carnivorous plants don’t have consciousness, but they still know when and how to eat bugs that land on them.

- Comment on “ChatGPT said this” Is Lazy 3 weeks ago:
If it’s important enough, we’ll fact check. Or search for it ourselves. We basically just use it as a very quick, simple resource for basic information. Mostly “What’s the weather tomorrow?” or something like that.
It’s mostly used as a bluetooth speaker for our kitchen.
