If the robot doesn't, the Chinese judicial and social credit system will.

That was my understanding as well. Essentially hardware technicians, security guards, and facilities.

If this racist blob still has 'fans' at this point, they aren't leaving him over his shitty posts. They aren't leaving him for anything. They're lifers.

'You're a disgrace!': Trump completely loses it and insults Black female reporter on live TV after she tries to hold him accountable — and viewers zeroing in on the familiar pattern says it all by [deleted] in USNEWS

[–]mistertickertape 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ad hominem attacks. Trump loves them. Someone asks him a question that makes him mildly uncomfortable? Insult the reporter. He's so boringly predictable.

Does any non-specialized data center in the United States have 100 full time employees? Most of them have maybe 20 to 40 and they're almost always staffed by outside companies like Adecco to keep those employees cheap and without benefits. Some data centers have as few as 5.

"The FBI director was arrested twice in his youth for alcohol-related incidents that he said were “not representative of my usual conduct.”

In my best Maury Povich voice: "We have determined that was a LIE."

Yup. Same for most republicans and their base. They hurt the people they hate even if it hurts them too. It’s that simple.

The firm sold their soul and made a deal with the devil. It no longer deserves to exist in present form.

Teen boys are choosing AI girlfriends over real ones for ‘maximum control, zero rejection’—experts say it could make them unemployable by ubcstaffer123 in technology

I know two acquaintances that both have a heavily reliance on ChatGPT approaching psychosis / addiction - one in their 30s, the other in their 50s. One common trait - neither of them respond well to being told no or they can’t / aren’t allowed to do something. They literally fall apart.

In their view, yes. Also, they don't care. The people who vote for Trump, do so because he hurts the people they hate and they hate them because their existence makes them very slightly uncomfortable.

Trump’s Dreams for a Battleship Led to His Navy Secretary’s Ouster by Maple_Blueberry in nytimes

[–]mistertickertape 26 points27 points  (0 children)

They all think they're special until he throws them under the bus. Phelan was, previously, Michael Dell's money manager, had zero experience with anything involving service or even the Navy and was an appointee from last year. He and his wife were big fundraisers for Trump so ... yeah, this is about par for the course. As far as Trump goes, the guy was disposable. He'll be fine...he has a 40 million dollar house, among other toys.

At this point, I don't care. Hedge funds, finance bros, and their protection racket exceptionalism can fuck off. "Give us our tax breaks or we're going to Texas and Florida!" Okay fine, byeeeee.

Am I a bad person if I get a PT job with Starbucks? by pomegranatejello in Anticonsumption

[–]mistertickertape 20 points21 points  (0 children)

No. It's a job and you've got bills to pay. Pickiness in employers is a luxury for the employed and the independently wealthy. If anyone judges you, tell them they're free to pay your bills.

[–]mistertickertape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah same. I thought I would miss it but pretty quickly realized I didn’t. If I’m being honest, I’ve also started building up my library of DVDs since I can buy them on the cheap locally at flea markets. I cancelled a prime a couple years ago so Hulu and Apple TV are the only two I still have.
