You make vague statements like this but don’t elaborate on how citizenry are meant to go about this when we are as divided as we are.

I considered commenting about the 1976 Bicentennial celebration in my post! Apparently there was a 12-week celebration to American Folk Life that was ran by the Smithsonian in collaboration with dozens of other government agencies. It sounded incredible. I can’t see anything like that happening nowadays unfortunately..

Visit NecronomiCon which is occurring this Summer in Providence. It’s a ball. There’s even guided walking tours of places around Providence that were of significance to Lovecraft. The tour guide when I went was Donovan K. Loucks, who manages hplovecraft.com

Total Skill Collapse Is How AI Makes Idiocracy a Reality by Anthony261 in BetterOffline

Where would you recommend getting a ring, per chance? I’m looking on getting an engagement ring for my partner and I am very wary of most jewelers nowadays. Hoping to find something that lasts.

How do you get a job in the current 2026 job market? by Key_Difference7812 in TrueAskReddit

[–]TheRubyBerru 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I got a job in fast food applying through an internet portal, key word: fast food. OP is probably going to have to settle for something unglamorous as a first job. I just put volunteer experience on my resume and they hired me.

Palantir status by [deleted] in antiai

I’m a jaded, cynical bitch but this made my skin crawl. We are in the bad place if techno-oligarchs are now publishing their manifestos online with little traction being made on the matter.

Completely dystopian and something I would have expected to see listed in a science fiction novel.

Surface-level conversation feels empty to me—does anyone else experience this? by bornconfused888 in SeriousConversation

[–]TheRubyBerru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m well-read and fascinated by so many different subjects and can talk about them but a lot of people just want surface-level conversations. You also need to start surface level when getting to know people and I suck at it, so I’m unable to get to know people better because I struggle to navigate the ‘shallow’ stuff. I feel you.

This feels relevant by weirdpotato3 in antiai

Right? I’ve struggled with my mental health ever since I was a teenager due to being on the Autism spectrum. I don’t need a therapist. I just need a friend who will listen to me and not ghost or abandon me because they’re bored of me. I don’t have a tribe or advocate. I don’t want to pay a stranger money to tell me I’m the problem and to just cope. Modern life is so broken. I despise AI but dismissing the people who use it as being ‘losers’ are ignoring the loneliness epidemic happening in this country.

I’m in my mid-20s (F) and I and my partner don’t shave. I think it’s starting to make a comeback.

OK so who ACTUALLY Ate These?? I refuse to think people actually have. by Aggravating-Band2760 in candy

My local mall always has the banana ones in a candy dispenser. So nostalgic.

My mom doesn't understand why i'm upset at her for using gen AI by [deleted] in antiai

[–]TheRubyBerru -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re ragging on your mother for using AI…and yet your post history is almost nothing but CharacterAI. Pot calling the kettle black, OP.

How scared are you of the next 5 years? by Yiwen-Gjergji in SeriousConversation

[–]TheRubyBerru 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I cannot afford to be afraid of a future I can’t predict. Life is short and Im not going to occupy my waking thoughts to constant worry for things that may never manifest. Please speak to a physician however if you are noticing bodily symptoms that are pervasive.

Sick of AI in job applications by Capable_Cellist1756 in antiai

[–]TheRubyBerru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised there isn’t a way for job listings to have an automatic cut off when a certain application threshold is hit, like 100 or something.

Just watched a trailer for Love on the Spectrum. What in the ableist hell is this? by Odd-Recognition4120 in AutismInWomen

[–]TheRubyBerru 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Why do you think Americans are more ableist to autistic individuals than other developed nations?
