Be thankful on this great socialist American holiday for the people.

I always give the Amazon delivery people a good revie (if they dent mess up). Those are the average people just trying to make it every day. They work their asses off for the dark empire. If I can help them get a raise or a better bonus Amazon gift card at Christmas, I will do my part.

Getting older. Lots of drama. Lots of political bullshit I can’t stand anymore and don’t want to hear about. Not saying my situation is the healthiest in the world but that is how I am feeling these days.

I dont even want to talk to half the people I know anymore lol. I stopped using FB but keep it running because there are many years of pics and what not for family. And when I bring it down people freak out and think something is wrong with me. Other than that, it has been stripped of any identifying information, only has people I know and I never use it anymore. That was the only real ‘personal’ place I had on the internet. Everything else is fake names and whatnot, always has been.

Yep… still much more active and more content there. I think Lemmy is great but Lemmy still has a long way to go.

They gimped it for the masses but AI is going strong. There is no question of the power of GPT4 and others. LLM’s are just a part of the big picture.

Yes… even there, it has been colonized and the real power lies in the hands of rich white people who are not from the land. The whole colonization experience that nations all over the world have experienced though time has happened there too. Whether by complete genocide or by slowly taking over, using blood quantum and other things. It is genocide.

I am white but born and raised in a pacific islander nation around pacific islanders. There are no men on the planet more manly and tough than pacific islanders IMO. But they are also humble, caring, giving, loving, respectful and in general some of the best people you will ever meet in this life. Piss them off and watch a real warrior comes out.

This weird American macho thing is not tough at all. To me I just see a bunch of weak posers that if called out by a real man, most would cry and beg to not get beat.

I am a straight guy and I don’t want to know what anyone is doing in bed at night. Straight, bi, gay, whatever. There are so many other issues in my life that are more important than the size of some other dude’s penis. I don’t care and don’t want to hear it. I am not trying to be a porn star, this does not concern me. Aside from that, be as fabulous or boring as you want in life, I don’t care, more power to you. It makes my life more interesting, full and well rounded to know you. Even you boring ones.

But these guys seem to be obsessed and weird about it. Caught between trying to use the hatred towards these people to their advantage but coming off looking like total freaks. Or maybe they really are, all just total weirdos.

Sanity is not playing in to mainstream discourse anymore. The loonies are out and have been empowered. Best we can do is try to get them back on their meds and professional help.

We would all be just a little better off as a whole if we ate some beans instead of a steak more often than not.

They saw the movie Snowpiercer and now the future of humanity is eating bugs. And it very well could be. People have been eating bugs since, forever. Roaches will probably be around after many food sources are gone and we will eat them. You can bet on it.

Many cultures eat bugs for protein. The fact that this all becomes some kind of conspiracy thing just shows how stupid and gullible people have become.

I wish I could say I can fight them with my wallet but I haven’t paid for a service or movie except the very rare and occasional trip to the movies, in over 10 years. They still make tons of money despite putting out bad products. We get maybe 1 or 2, maybe 3 good movies or shows a year if that. The rest is crap. Lets be honest. Hollywood has been barfing up old ideas and re-making them more than coming up with new stuff for a long time now. People still pay the prices and go to the movies. Our standards have fallen very low but we are all willing to pay even more for it.

How many people went to see Barbie or Oppenheimer this week? All those people just spit in the face of everyone on strike.

And the actors who get paid way more than they deserve or need to. They demand it. They ensure the movie is going to cost millions of dollars, right off the bat. Before even thinking about the budget for the rest of the film.

And then you throw AI and the real legitimate concerns on how the industry is changing because of it. But then again, who’s industry isn’t changing because of it. I think many of us are learning that we all are going to have to adapt and use the new technology to survive or get left behind. Especially in the entertainment industry.

I am not complaining that they are striking or that they don’t deserve to get paid what the need or that their concerns are not legitimate. I support them 100%. But there are a lot of moving parts, public opinion etc.

With the quality of the entertainment produced in recent years being so bad, many people have lost sympathy. Most people are don’t care if AI creates some stupid show they watch, as long as it produces something better than what Hollywood has been putting out. What people have been complaining about for years and ignored.

Executives don’t care. They just see dollar signs. They have always taken what was there and tried to squeeze as much money out of as they could. They aren’t in it for the art. If they can get away with screwing people over, they are going to do it. They have ALWAYS done it.
