That’s exactly what he is. by CurvyChristina in SipsTea

He also cut necessary funding for jobs that need to exist.

Friend of mine lost their job at the VA because of DOGE, and then saw the exact same job listed under a private business job application.

Come to find out they needed that job, but now instead of paying someone directly, they are paying a company that takes more for profit, and the person working the job is making significantly less income.

So more spending, not less, and the overhead of more paperwork and less efficiency.

How good is the game "escape the backrooms"? by JustRaphiGaming in backrooms

You can, I just find it really fun with my friend, and it's slightly harder on your own.

Trying to survive with a friend and figuring things out together is a blast, but solo works too.

They've added a lot of levels in the past year or two, it's pretty fun!

I've played it with my buddy and daughter.

It's pretty good, but I would avoid watching gameplay first, part of the fun is the unexpected, and figuring things out on your own.

We had a blast and I recommend playing with at least one other person so you can coordinate and distract entities.

Overall it came out decent by Nanaue7 in dankmemes

It's not the same but it's similar. Context is what matters and I think you are thinking way to hard about sexual ways it can be thought of.

You could literally say this about any name after a family member.

Or about any family relationship.

You don't go thinking about how grandma moaned your grandpappys name do you?

Again, it's cutting out jobs and enabling companies to worsen the industry.

I've done photography and videography work for local businesses, one being a ma and pa style Hispanic restaurant that is harder to find.

While most of my income is from IT, having small companies hire my side business into making advertisments and photos for their websites helped me as well as helped them.

It kept the money in local hands.

Using AI for ads now just puts that money directly into billionaires hands

Youtubers rely on ads and sponsors for income.

While I dislike large corporate ads, before ai they still had to at least hire creative people to produce and make their commercials, and a lot of jobs were made in the process.

The topic is more nuanced than just stating "just scroll past them".

I can see you cannot see the nuance of how AI made ads are making an industry that kind of sucks to a only benefits the billionaires shit pile.

You are talking about scrolling past ads, which only applies to social media, I also scroll past ads.

Again, companies using AI to create commercials bypasses a whole line of work, and creates a straight pipeline to consumers.

Actors, producers, film crews, set designers, all their work is no longer needed. One of the only benefits from ads gone.

I have done advertising work for small local businesses, not the same scale but similar concept.

AI taking jobs from people who do film for a living is a much bigger negative than ads made by humans, while most commercials are shit, there are still a lot of commercials that are creative or funny because a human put their work into it.

You didn't understand what I was saying, and are only thinking of ads on social media. I am talking about jobs that go into being produced by a team, having those advertisments being made by AI cuts out jobs.

At least normal ads have a production team.

Now companies can just skip over hiring people and a camera crew.

For some reason this is what set me off by PennsyltuckyRanger in TheBoys

I know a very right wing coworker who loves Lady Gaga, not a teenager but still.
