Wander into the woods and never return, probably.

“So, Greg, what do you do for work?”

“Uhhhh…. I’m the control group for AI toilets.”

He ain’t leaving unless it’s in a casket.

I’m absolutely convinced that there’s a certain threshold of money/power/privilege that just destroys a person’s humanity.

We have to remember that the people making these decisions have no idea what life is like for a poor person. The kinds of payments that would ruin my life and yours are nothing to them.

So, they think we have the ability to afford these payments because they’re damned fools. They don’t expect mass defaults.

I think they’re wrong about that.

Hey. Thank you for sharing this.

Websites like this are the good part of the internet.

Now that you mention it, I might be a bit off in my math. It’s not my best subject.

Thinking about it a little more, I probably made the account in 2006 or so.

Deleted my FB account just now.

I’d had the thing since 2003. It was the last non-fedi social media I was holding onto (the only way to keep in touch with certain people, and all that.)

I’m honestly just deeply interested in this guy every time I hear about him.

Not because I think he’s smart, on to something, or at all worthwhile though.

It’s just…. Kind of morbidly entertaining to watch a man spend so much time and money to deal with an obvious and incredible fear of death.

He’s going to die some day, and probably from one of these things he’s paying for to avoid dying. It’s Qin Shi Huang shit.

And, ya know what? There are some truly wonderful and interesting works of philosophy dealing with his exact problem, but our boy is too much of a tech bro to even consider that someone may have found a way to deal with the fear of death a few thousand years ago.

So, fuck it, burn that cash bud.

I’ve been using Mint and Pop!_OS on two different machines for a few years.

Neither has really required much from me as the user, although I have needed to use the terminal once on each of them.

Personally, I really like the way Pop does window tiling and workspaces.

I’ve been thinking for a few years now that, since no one with power ever seems to know what they’re doing, there’s something about power itself that makes the person who holds it selfish and incompetent.

My head went to the exact same place.

Geez, NYT, how’s the boot taste?

Do you know if the doctrine he’s been taken in by is religious or secular in nature?

I ask because I could recommend some books you could get him that just might get the kid to think a little harder about things.

For context, I teach philosophy and religion for some community colleges and have been looking for ways to get these Gen Z alt right boys to quit the propaganda.

While a lot of them seem to be lost causes, there are some who can be challenged to read outside their sphere, so long as what I give them isn’t too overtly “other.”

Depending on what he’s into, there might be some authors who know how to talk to an oppositional reader.

Ibuprofen if I’m at work, but at home I usually take a short nap and have some coffee after, which works better for me.
