When in doubt, the AI is gaslighting you.

When you’re sure, the AI is still probably gaslighting you.

Paramount these days innit?

SNW is, like, almost there…

…the article literally says rents are down 7% on the whole.

I’d love if rents trended down here. I couldn’t really care about investors.

So it’s cheaper to rent homes in China? God, wish that would fucking happen here.

Sorry, I don’t trust someone who chose to fight for mercenaries during the Trump admin and I do not believe for a second that he, at no point in the nearly twenty years between 2007 and 2025, didn’t know about the Nazi symbol on his chest, and only found out last week when he had it covered up. If he did learn prior to that, he was comfortable wearing a Nazi symbol on his chest until it became politically inconvenient.

That’s especially unbelievable if what the Jacobin article says, that he’s “… a left-leaning guy who runs frequently in hyper-right wing circles”, is true. Heck, that concept on its own is suspicious and off-putting.

My single opinion is irrelevant, I have no say in politics, and it looks like he’s gonna win anyway, so here’s hoping he does good things, but I will never trust him.

Edit: On paper his policies and opinions look good. But so did Fetterman’s in PA…

Making sure to never use this law firm, fuck your ads

That colon in the title really saved 2 extra characters

I want a vacation as a secret agent on Mars.

Barrage à trois

It’s mind boggling how terrible they look. I’ve seen photos of people putting vinyl wraps on them to make them look like other trucks and it’s shocking that it’s an improvement.

They’re astoundingly ugly cars almost exclusively driven by assholes.

O wow h8 wife so funni

Wait no, this sucks.

Six or seven hours. I think I’d like to get 8, but scheduling makes that tricky.

Tho, perhaps more ideally, I’d prefer to not have to sleep.

That sounds better. My friend is working in their field, but the positions are set up knowing that they’ll mostly be applied for by PhD students with masters degrees during their coursework, so they know they can pay like crap and they’ll take it anyway. All my understanding of these systems come from the US way, so it’s nice to know it’s better elsewhere.

I’m not sure, though I don’t think I’d use the word greed or entitlement there. That said, I think people who aren’t working through their doctorate often don’t appreciate just how lucky they are to avoid such a burden. A friend of mine was kvetching about a fellow in their cohort complaining about how the dissertation scheduling was interfering with their European vacation holiday while my friend is trying to pick up as many shifts as they can at two part time jobs that wildly underpay them for their education level. My friend never has a consistent schedule and never seems to have more than maybe ten hours of free time a week outside of sleeping. That person is entitled and clueless.

That all said, I don’t think you need to take the words of anyone on social media or an internet forum all that seriously or personally.

Personally? The academic system seems utterly fucked up and abusive. In a way that favors education for the few that can mitigate the pains of capitalism already.

There’s two kinds of people I’ve met pursuing doctorates.

Those who are independently wealthy and don’t need to work while pursuing it and those who aren’t and do.

Both seem incredibly stressed and depressed almost consistently. Though the latter seem to be, understandably, bitter at the lamentations of the former.

For shame for you to say that Star Trek has run on too long.

We need messages about cooperating to create a classless, moneyless society of benevolent people now more than ever.

Gen X isn’t as radical on the whole as one might think (of course there’s some incredibly rad exceptions) and, well, boomers haven’t died off yet. They still hold most of the wealth ergo most of the power in America. It’s a geriocracy and it ain’t the 50+ year old Millenials running the show.

It tastes like ass and has a texture unlike any pizza and more akin to a fried sponge?

It’s gotta be daunting to cover Oingo Boingo and throw it out to the world, so kudos for that alone. It’s fairly faithful, tho I feel I’m missing the horns. Maybe synths are simply more postpunk than horns.

I get what you’re saying in terms of “why hide it?” but I think someone with his background belongs in a prison, not in the Senate. And it’s not like fascists haven’t been trying to infiltrate any part of government they can for decades.

And I simply cannot accept that someone has a nazi logo on their chest for nearly 20 years without learning its origins. That’s absolutely absurd. There’s no way he only found out it was a Nazi symbol this week.

I can forgive Nazis who had a brush with that kind of interest in their teens. Adults with fully formed brains who engage with Nazi imagery and are willing to shoot civilians for their government are fundamentally not good people. I cannot trust that person doesn’t have something inside them that is inherently antisocial and anathema to just society. In my personal experience, Nazis never reform, they simply learn to be quieter. If it’s even possible to be a reformed Nazi, they certainly shouldn’t be in government.

It looks like he’ll win the primary regardless. My opinion is ultimately irrelevant.
