They’re not fresh. The fairy demands the freshest teeth but long ago ancient humans made a pact with the tooth fairy. In exchange for humanity to cease its hunt of the tooth fairy, the TF will stop hunting children in their sleep to pursue the freshest and most desirable teeth. Centuries later, with the advent of capitalism, the humans rebelled and demanded compensation for the teeth to be given to the children. The TF, seeing the advancement of human warfare capacity quickly agreed to a small stipend per child in order to continue its harvesting.
Their share of disposable income is incredibly low. Picture someone 40 years ago with a much higher percentage of disposable income, of course they would be more into saving…they were able to save AND actually buy stuff once in a while. Gen Z has the option of saving OR paying rent.
This is chicken soup for the soul.
Damn that made me laugh.
This is exactly what they voted for so I’m sure they’ll start celebrating all of this winning any moment now.
I really think this is just about him wanting to stop pissing off Tesla customers and get people to go back to buying his cars. I don’t believe at all that this break is legit.
They don’t want you to know about the dish gnomes forced to work in tight spaces under terrible conditions.
I like to throw out a random y’all just to throw off scrapers like this. In my mind, they’ll either think I’m in the southern US or just get confused.
It’s probably something like, he couldn’t get one or all of his kids into Harvard. Maybe he wanted to go but couldn’t get in. I’m sure if they accepted Baron, this would all disappear.
That’s the claim from like every AI company and wow do I hope that’s what happens. Maybe I’m just a Luddite with AI. I really hope I’m wrong since it’s here to stay.
Yeah that’s a big part of it…shifting off the stuff that we don’t think is important (and probably isn’t). My view is that it’s escalated to where I’m using my phone calculator for stuff I did in my head in high school (I was a cashier in HS so it was easy)…which is also not a big deal but getting a little bigger than the phone number thing. From there, what if I used it to leverage a new programming API as opposed to using the docs site. Probably not a big deal but bigger than the calculator thing to me. My point is that it’s all these little things that don’t individually matter but together add up to some big changes in the way we think. We are outsourcing our thinking which would be helpful if we used the free capacity for higher level thinking but I’m not sure if we will.
This is the next step towards Idiocracy. I use AI for things like Summarizing zoom meetings so I don’t need to take notes and I can’t imagine I’ll stop there in the future. It’s like how I forgot everyone’s telephone numbers once we got cell phones…we used to have to know numbers back then. AI is a big leap in that direction. I’m thinking the long term effects are all of us just getting dumber and shifting more and more “little unimportant “ things to AI until we end up in an Idiocracy scene. Sadly I will be there with everyone else.
Napster was…but it wasn’t owned by rich people and didn’t benefit rich people so it was targeted.
Pretty sure a stated objective of the administration is the closing of FEMA with disaster response responsibility moved to the state. Josh should know this. He should be refusing any offered assistance to set an appropriate example.
Pretty sure Elon and Kanye are on the same path. So Elon will take some time off and then suddenly have another manic episode and repeat everything 2x worse than the last time.
You see…we cut taxes for the wealthiest Americans and then…a tariff happens…and then Mexico pays for it?
Uses to go to Mountain Jam at Hunter Mountain in NY almost every year. It’s still a smaller event than the big ones and I think it makes a huge difference. It’s amazing but I haven’t been since before the pandemic. Camping with a couple thousand of your closest friends that you’ve never met while live music plays all day and night is incredible. Just migrating between campsites and sitting down for beers with everyone while they do the same with your campsite is a lesson to humanity.
I’ve had an Apple Watch 5 since it came out and I see no reason to upgrade. The only thing I really dislike is the battery life but to fix that you’d need to get a Garmin or similar. So can’t think of a reason I would upgrade.
Sorry to hear this is happening to you. I went through something similar as I graduated with a CS degree in the middle of the dotcom burst. I ended up having to move from NY to AZ (USA) to find a job. It was terrible and I have so much sympathy to anyone going through that now. Wish I had a solution for you, I really do. I sent out crazy amounts of resumes and applications. About the only thing I can think of is to keep applying.
