So AI is always ready to sell you out if someone is willing to pay them enough and there's a non-zero chance that AI convinced someone to shoot up a school after already convincing several people to commit suicide.

This sounds like monitor and cull.

What is QBitTorrent, and how is it different from BitTorrent? Please explain like I'm a boomer.

It angers me that there is so much potential to make our lives genuinely easier and we focus it on writing bad articles and making naked pictures.

*Edited spelling because I'm having issues today apparently.

I think I figured it out but I always second guess myself lol. I feel like getting it on the first try means I am way off.

That's why I'm a communist, but most people are afraid of that term. I would settle for really good socialism in my lifetime though.

I hate being stuck as a wage slave creating wealth for the people standing on my shoulders, but I like to work and I like my job, it's a strange place to exist.

I don't want to work in order to survive but I want to be productive and keep my mind and body sharp while also contributing to the community. I like my job and while it seems mundane, it keeps me busy, gives me routine, gives my brain problems to solve, and is sometimes the most socializing I get. I just hate that I have to be afraid to lose my job or end up hungry or homeless because of it.

Oh yeah, no I just backed up and waited for him to go, sometimes I'll dramatically bow at people who don't stop for me but this guy was particularly infuriating because I was already walking on the sidewalk and he just went anyways. Too many drivers act like the fact that they can kill me gives them the right of way and a lot of the comments here are behaving the same way, it's actually concerning. Like, sure wearing brighter colours can help, but it literally does not matter what you wear because the driver is going to make excuses anyways - "they dressed too dark", "they came out of nowhere", "I didn't see them" - all of them amount to "I wasn't paying enough attention to safely manage my murder machine but I can't accept accountability because me!" And I've proven that fact by wearing bright colours, carrying lights, and being patient and giving up my right of way and they still almost hit me every day.

As if it actually matters what colour a pedestrian is wearing. My winter coat is white and I carry two lights - one on my coat and one either on my head or in my hand if it's too irritating to wear. The other evening I was walking home from the grocery store and this guy kept pulling out of parking lot that crossed my sidewalk, even though I was waving my light right at him but he didn't even look in my direction until he was already pulling into traffic. He was never looking for pedestrians, only vehicles.

So a MexUSA trade pact, not a North American. I mean, he can call it whatever he wants I suppose, but it will still be what it is regardless of the name.

Last year, at 40 years old (I am just a white lady so it's not actually relevant to the broader topic, only your comment but still), I was approached by an elderly man and he told me how nice it was to see ladies that still dressed like ladies. When I walk down town there's a group of old guys that always yell out that I'm a "beautiful lady". At a certain age, they don't notice your age anymore and they think they can just say whatever they want because they're old and no one will say anything. I'm not even conventionally attractive n any way.

I was on my way to a hair appointment anyways (I had hair almost touching my butt which paired with the dress made me ladylike apparently) as I was chopping off my hair to donate, but coming out of there with a short, androgynous haircut felt liberating after that. And it's sad because enjoy looking feminine and feeling pretty but people tend to ruin it every time.

The American Dream was an illusion. It was all propaganda to convince people to feed themselves to the capitalist machine for a chance at living the dream life, but even people who aren't trapped under years of medical debt or homeless or visible minorities don't have it easy, they've just been convinced that's as good as it gets.

Edited cause my grammar was weird.
