The first thing the AI Bros want, and the absolute last thing I want, is for my country and social security to get entangled in a pyramid scheme.

i’ve got bad news for you then… 🧑‍🚀🔫🧑‍🚀

You don’t have to be Nostrodamus to predict that the 80 year old man who really looks their age and has near monthly “routine” health checks and brags about passing the kinds of cognitive tests they only give when they think you have dementia is going to die soon…

That allows us to have career politicians

I don’t think politician should be a career… There’s an old saying i’ve never much agreed with “those who can’t do teach.” I think that a more accurate saying would be “those who can’t do go into politics.”

Yes it is!

I didn’t use that word because no one ever knows wtf it means lol

I kinda like the term randomocracy

Some of us are greedy fucks, we let them make the decisions for some reason.

I’ve always advocated for a system where people who are qualified but don’t want to should lead…

I’m so used to ignoring who tweets are from that I didn’t notice till you mentioned it and scrolled back up, lol

As someone with a problematic relationship with alcohol, from a family of the same, i get addiction, but I don’t get gambling. The way it’s become normalized by society is so weird to me.

That’s how I felt about half way through the pilot, I said to my partner “I don’t think I can handle a grimdark trek,” but then they started introducing the actual premise of the show, how starfleet had a dark time, but was now rebuilding and reaffirming it’s ideals.

I personally liked the vibe, it felt hopeful. Dark times don’t last forever and things do get better, but still leave an impact.

There is still a utopia though, it has just been tested and they failed some of the tests and now they’re trying to rebuild.

It’s back to basics hopeful, a society trying to live up to it’s ideals again.

when the aliens arrive, and kill our leaders, I will write them a letter that says “what about their kids?”

But the underground society seemed to be more about finding their own version of freedom rather than outright exclusion.

In a world with super aids they still wanted to raw dog it.

there’s no paywall, there’s a donation ask, but you can just close it.

Just don’t give the TV your wifi password, boom dumb TV.

I read the headline earlier, with no picture, and thought yeah he always looks like a bloated orange monster that tracks.

Actually seeing the pictures all I can think of is the training I did on FAST, literally the F is for face drooping, that old mother fucker is having a god damned stroke…
