Everything old is new again

Hmm, this is very reassuring in the wake of grok calling itself mechahitler
About to start my vacay and uh... I actually set something up with some old friends? We had a running joke for a while where every new year we'd be like "hey we should hang out" and then someone else would say maybe next year. And it just kept on going like that until one dropped out. After that the remaining two of us kind of kept it going until we had agreed to meet up a couple years ago. That fell through and the dream was pretty much dead.
Since I was going to take my vacay I decided to try and set it up again and, well, to my surprise I was able to get everyone to agree to something next week. I've never really been the friend that invites people out and this past year or so I've been trying as much as I can just because I've grown distant from the friends I used to have that would drag me everywhere. So to finally have some success. Well, fingers crossed that we actually end up meeting up. Need to fill out a few more days, but things are off to a nice start.
Yeah, both are via conference call, but it really doesn't make it much better. Especially when there's actual shit to get done.
I fucking hate that I'm now in the corporate world, even though its just a toe in the door. We're have a meeting where its completely irrelevant to anything I do. And its one thing if we never had any other meeting, but we do! I fucking hate this shit.
Also making cuts to programs like SNAP and other social safety net programs aimed at helping families, and in particular children, goes a long way towards making having children less affordable. Again, something political. These fucks want people to have more kids while cutting down any sort of help they could have to raise them and then turn around and whine about how kids aren't being raised right these days and blame the parents.
NGL I was a bit confused by people joking about it getting flooded. Like its obvious they don't give a fuck if the camps they built get flooded, as a matter of fact it clearly part of what they want the prisoners there to experience.
Is my hatred of AI voice videos irrational and unwarranted?
Hearing the same one or two voices is fucking grating to my ears. The flow and tone always seems off and I fucking hate it. Yet a number of people I know constantly watch AI voiced videos.
I recently saw a meme where one panel had Spiderman saying "treat minorities with respect" with a kid admiring him in 1994, then the next panel was Spiderman saying the same thing but now the kid is grown up in 2025 and he's raging at how Spiderman is woke and he wasnt like this when he was a kid.
Lesson being, Spiderman didn't change, the kid just grew up to be a chud.
I'm not a Nazi
Anyway here's grok calling itself MechaHitler
This is the man that Democrats wanted to recruit as an ally, all while screaming down anyone against the genocide in Gaza and labeling them as the antisemites.
This is being pushed by Big Footwear to keep your feet imprisoned within the cages they sell to you.
Happened to me for the first time in... maybe ever. It really does feel nice. We've slowed down just a bit in the past few weeks though.
