It’s like the “We’re all trying to find the guy who did this” skit with the guy in the hotdog suit and the hotdog car.

I remember talking to a coworker at a tech startup once. He was leaving to go work for some like military intelligence spy company. I was like, “But what if they have you work on something fucked up, like spying on innocent people, or sending drones to kill people?” He was like, big shrug, the pay is good.

Some people just don’t care about other people. He was nice to people he knew, when it didn’t really cost him anything.

Our society isn’t really set up to discourage that kind of worldview. That kind of selfish person typically thrives.

This is a deeply off topic whataboutism that only serves to distract from how horrible the trump administration is. You are benefitting the conservatives.

Even if they all stupided themselves to death today, it would take years to repair the damage. Some of the damage can’t be repaired. And we’d still be behind where we could have been if we had had competent leadership to begin with. Or even just less bad leadership.

We should never forgive the Republicans. Every one of them should be a pariah.

All the people who were mad about Clinton’s email that aren’t furious about this are hypocrits that should never be taken seriously again.

If you think ‘voluntary’ is acceptable for anything important you want corporations to do, you have no business making decisions about real life. If it’s voluntary, they’ll only do it if it benefits them.

You’d revive that program over the bloody corpses of many conservatives. Which, actually, yeah let’s do that. A lot of other problems go away if the right wing bleeds out.

Labor hasn’t organized enough to say “Fuck this shit” and demand a livable wage in exchange for their labor.

Meanwhile, management is salivating at the idea of firing most people and replacing them with AI.

The ownership class needs to go. Workers need to at the very least unionize, but should also take things further and seize control of what they’ve built.

If those Internet duds that get mad about black people in video games spent like half that energy being mad about, like, wage theft, we’d be so much better off.

If they thought about things and came to good conclusions afterwards, they probably wouldn’t be driving this kind of car to begin with. The people who are driving it are probably not good thinkers.

I think we should organize and go demand everyone working for DOGE… stop. And not demand like with funny signs and chants, but like with 2nd amendment arms.

That’s really bad. You might get other people sick with what you have, but if they’re immune compromised or otherwise vulnerable they could have a really bad, possibly fatal, time.

Apply it to healthcare, science, finances, and the world will become a better place, especially in healthcare.

That’s all kind of moot if we continue down the capitalist hellscape express. What good is an AI that can diagnose cancer if most people can’t afford access? What good is AI writing novels if our homes are destroyed by climate change induced disasters?

Those problems are mostly political, and AI isn’t going to fix them. The people that probably could be replaced with AI, the shitty “leaders” and such, are not going to voluntarily step down.

There’s a shared theme with like all of humanity’s woes: people don’t care that much.

From pollution to injustice to shitty websites, if people cared just a little more the problem would be dramatically reduced or even eliminated.

But so many people are just apathetic. Overwhelmed and checked out.

I’d like to privatize Wells Fargo, where I also mean “dismantle and leave behind an unrecognizable corpse”

Conservatives aren’t generally considered smart, kind, people.

No. Your reading of it is unusual, in most contexts. It almost always means “agreement, and I have nothing of substance to add”.

It can be rude if the thing you’ve said should warrant a substantial response. Like if you wrote “my brother just died in a car wreck”, a thumbs up (or probably any emoji) would be an inappropriate response. Heavier stuff warrants whole words.

But if it’s like “Can you get cat food at the store? The kind we always get” then a thumbs up is an acceptable shorthand for "yes, I understand and commit to this request "

Ah, I always liked Three Panel Soul. Shame it doesn’t seem to update anymore.

On the one hand, this is bad for a lot of innocent people.

On the other, I kind of just want the anti-vaxxers and their enablers to die.

Need to either organize so you and your closest 50,000 friends can march up to wherever he’s living, or go the stochastic route and hope some random person decides to rid you of this meddlesome priest.

Organizing is probably better overall, but harder.
