Nice, new abusive relationship.

I loved that the Tesla stock dipped 15% :)

Totally agree about the endless meetings and never feeling good enough, always chasing a new technology, never satisfied.

I think its insane that we as engineers are supposed to sit in open offices and im on my way to quit my job also. Office politics, people are rewarded for being in office rather then being productive at home. And the commute, the colleagues, everything is exhausting.

I've been starting to look at how to escape the matrix and stop this madness somehow. I cant do this until im 65 and gets sick and old. I wont.

Emotionally mature women do calm down. It just depends on the level of trust she has in what you say.

If you are known to her as someone she trusts and listens to, then she will consider if you are right and start to calm down if she thinks you are.

But it depends a bit on age and maturity and life experiences and all sorts of things.

The mentality of someone who does things like this... Imagine being inside that head. Just wow.

I think if spiritual evolution is our goal here, then those people are the ones who didnt even find the classroom.

If karma exists, those people will have a lot of pain across many lifetimes.

Maybe 90% of fascists are men... It doesnt really matter if 10% are women in the context of things. We just need people to stop being fascist.

Maybe its too late. There are a lot of forces literally programming people into being fascists. You need to think outside the programming to realize what you have turned into.

Same thing at work. Bosses trying to make workers produce maximum output by making them feel appreciated when they work all the time, and otherwise not.

Its time to stop falling for all these tricks, and sometimes make hard decisions to improve your wellbeing.

You also dont need a woman/man (partner) to feel good about yourself. Its not like its some magical creature that validates your self respect. Just stop it.

I dont really feel the need to talk about traumas with my guy friends. I like to have a good time and laugh instead. :)

Also when im at the gym, I think its great. Every guy is kind of quiet or having a good time with a friend.

The women i listened to were talking about some sad story and seemingly shared some difficult thing (I dont know for sure).

Spread information about it. Use those shitty big tech social networks to constantly post and show people what is possible. At least then they can be fairly useful instead of chatting about what Trump or Musk or Zuck decided to say today to get their daily narcissist emotional needs met.

I dont have accounts and wont get accounts but if you do, do that.

But yeah, honestly? We are fucked. There wont be any motivation for humans to express their humanity through art or music unless its for making money. Absolutely everything will be Ai generated and full of shit.

Humans will long for real connections to other humans. But since there is also a huge agenda to make us fight eachother over race, gender, class, opinions, anything.. I dont know if we can connect as well anymore.

At least outside of this fucking tech i do feel I have real connections with people. Im grateful for that, because loneliness is horrible.

Its like having a junior developer with a world of confidence just change shit and spend hours breaking things and trying to fix them, while we pay big tech for the privilege of watching the chaos.

I asked chat gpt to give me a simple squid proxy config today that blocks everything except https. It confidently gave me one but of course it didnt work. It let through http and despite many attempts to get a working config that did that, it just failed.

So yeah in the end i have to learn squid syntax anyway, which i guess is fine, but I spent hours trying to get a working config because we pay for chat gpt to do exactly that....

Stop using that shit, your life will be better for it.

One of the best things I read was an 1889 essay by Andrew Carnegie called The Gospel of Wealth. It makes the case that the wealthy have a responsibility to return their resources to society, a radical idea at the time that laid the groundwork for philanthropy as we know it today.

In the essay’s most famous line, Carnegie argues that “the man who dies thus rich dies disgraced.” I have spent a lot of time thinking about that quote lately. People will say a lot of things about me when I die, but I am determined that "he died rich" will not be one of them.

 

He blamed a "concerted effort" by other countries that offer incentives to attract filmmakers and studios, which he described as a "National Security threat".

"WE WANT MOVIES MADE IN AMERICA, AGAIN!"

US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick responded to the announcement, saying "We're on it".

This is an actual thing. I figured it was made up, but no, Trump is serious. :)

 

I know this sounds bad, but maybe this is a blessing in disguise. Necessity is the mother of invention and maybe browser technology should be funded by governments instead of privately owned advertising megacorps?

 

I always like these articles that question the common mindset and teach us something.

Of course at the same time, my hope for humans goes down, but thats another story... :)

 

No matter what happens, I believe the author is correct. Europe will not trust the US in a long time. Trump actually has managed to destroy the image of America in the entire world, in a few months.

 

"The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy, the empathy exploit,” Musk said. “There it’s they’re exploiting a bug in Western civilization, which is the empathy response.”

Probably a lot of us are tired of Musks ramblings but I just thought this is clearly showing why he is so dangerous.

I think Musk may be more of a psychopath than Donald Trump, who is more of a narcissist but hopefully not a full blown maniac.

 

Dont forget that nothing bad lasts forever, and previous generations went through wars and hardships too.

It certainly feels like madness is in control of the US, but its just greed and lust for power and attention. There is no difference between the undeveloped child that is taking the entire sandbox and these people. Some humans desire nothing more than to take from others until there is nothing left. Maybe its part of their spiritual evolution.

Perhaps there something to learn from their behavior. We get reminded of how not to be towards others. They are a very clear example of souls that feels much more primitive than the animals we have around us.

This too shall pass. :)

Shows all the information Google gets from just one photograph, using Ai.

 

This is not dystopian at all, is it? Humans sleeping in pods. I guess it beats homelessness but this seems like a fail on epical levels (unless profits for these pod companies are what we care about).

 

New thunderbird available for android now. :)

 

It. Is. Never. Enough.

You paid hundreds of dollars for a new monitor, but it doesn't matter. More ads, more profits.

I hate it.

Alien Romulus (self.movies)
submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by 1984 to c/movies@lemmy.world
 

I just watched alien romulus and I thought it was really frustrating. What happened to the lethal face huggers and the older, experienced crew of spaceships that got paid like shit by the company?

Now they are hitting face huggers left and right with sticks, and people just get up after having one over their face.

I didn't feel like I cared about the characters. They were actually quite unlikeable. I really miss Ripley. She had enormous amount of character, strength and intelligence. What did we get in this movie? They are all super generic.

Just disappointed. How about you guys?
