All to do what? Write emails and generate mediocre pictures?

The usefulness of AI currently is not much better than predictive text.

In case people don’t know what Project 2025 is.

Here’s the document:

AT LEAST READ THE FOREWARD. It very meticulously lays out their 4 goals:

1. Restore the family as the centerpiece of American life and protect our children.

2. Dismantle the administrative state and return self-governance to the American people.

3. Defend our nation’s sovereignty, borders, and bounty against global threats.

4. Secure our God-given individual rights to live freely—what our Constitution calls “the Blessings of Liberty

In plain language they want to:

1. Effectively make LGBTQ+ persons illegal, unable to marry, adopt, or even exist openly, nationally ban abortion, ban education about black history and systemic racism;
2. hamstring or eliminate a bunch of government agencies like the Department of Education, the EPA, the DOJ, Department of Homeland Security, and to eliminate many positions within the federal government or install loyal puppets;
3. close our borders completely, pull out of NATO and the UN, invest heavily in oil, coal, and natural gas while divesting in renewable energy and removing environmental regulations, and exert extreme control over tech companies and universities;
4. create school voucher programs which very much are to allow parents to segregate their children and use tax dollars to fund conservative, religious, private schools at k-12 levels, and eliminate social welfare programs. Also includes the contradiction of “champion the dynamic genius of free enterprise” and “include antitrust enforcement against corporate monopolies.”

The whole thing is full of conservative buzz words, “anti-woke” rhetoric, and contradictions about free enterprise while wanting to exert control over people and “big tech.”

But it’s also dangerous because they’re going to attempt to consolidate power to the next Republican president. There are complicated and far-reaching consequences to the things they’re proposing that would take an academic paper to get into. For example, Ron DeSantis just signed a bill making lab-grown meat illegal because of the “global elite.” It doesn’t make any sense, but it’s part of the reactionary, anti-leftist, culture war bullshit the Republicans are on right now.

That summary should be enough to show why this is so dangerous.

Doesn’t matter what job I’m in, Adobe anything is always trash and their seeming monopoly on digital certificate signing in PDFs is disgusting.

And also insurance companies charging just as much as they can get away with.

The US system is designed to squeeze every last penny out of a person, to the point they can still “survive,” but not so much that they become destitute and can no longer buy things and pay for essential services.

I love lemmy, don’t get me wrong, but I do miss the niche and specific game and music communities on there. Lemmy is mostly politics and memes at this point. All the more specific communities are very small.

It’s the same boomers that make those complaints whining about Gen Z

I wanted to like the game so badly because it looked like so much fun.

But my brother and I spent 29 minutes getting a treasure just to be steamrolled by a group of three more experienced players that killed us and took our shit.

I get that it’s the point of piracy, but it’s not much fun to spend 20 minutes accomplishing nothing. There’s a reason piracy is illegal in real life.

Maybe this new mode will let me enjoy the world they’ve built a bit more

Joe Biden is a big fuckin wet noodle of a president. All of the democrat voters are on board with doing something about climate change, but Biden can’t even be bothered to attend a global meeting about it.

Pathetic.

It forces corrections for racists doing harm to large groups of people.

If you couldn’t get that from that explanation, you weren’t paying attention.

Fucking Sweet Caroline. Such an annoying song because everyone expects you to sing along to that stupid-ass part.

Partly true, but mostly not.

The vitamins and minerals are called essential because they are essential.

Bethesda hasn’t made a great game since Skyrim. And tbh, I probably look back on Skyrim more fondly than it deserves because I was in highschool when it came out.

I’ve played 30 hours of Starfield and feel like I didn’t really have fun the whole time. It just felt like a 6/10 game. Very pretty, 10 miles wide, and an inch deep. And there’s too much of it that is actually downright bad.

It’s sad because Bethesda used to be the gold standard for RPGs, but their ambition is getting the best of them. It’s very apparent in Starfield with all the empty space, the same 5 repeated planetary buildings, only like 3 types of enemies, and a severe lack of planet flora/fauna. And the missions are mostly really boring and not challenging.

I’m not hopeful that Elder Scrolls 6 is going to be anything better than mid-tier.

She is short of values. A disgusting piece of shit that needs to be removed from her position.

And car-centric infrastructure. It’s dumb to drive somewhere for a single shop, so people wanted an excuse to drive their expensive cars. Hence the one stop mega mall, where you can find everything you could want to load your car up with.

When your country is so young, nearly everybody is an immigrant. So it’s hard to take pride in a family lineage that is at most 4 generations of being American. Plus, we don’t really have a unified national identity. “American” could literally mean every type of person.

The Brits would never.

Queuing is a national pastime.

More power to them! Shut it all down and get those shit companies to pay fair wages.

One of their demands is a 32 hour work week, and if they get that, it would be a huge group to do so and may jumpstart the transition in other industries to a shorter week as well.

He just wanted to make sure people knew he was a bigoted dumbass from a distance.
