Ignorance is not bliss

wattt

I pray to Grok or whatever higher AI actually exists to deliver us from this beckett play no one asked to watch nay worse be cast in.

this is the age of warriors

The story so far: In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Meanwhile Eel plays Even Bigger Mouth, it is critically effective!

Yeah you genuinely do have to treat us like we are in a cult.

The difference between USians is at any one point how much do we realize we are trapped in a cult?

Most of the time I am self aware, most.

How are you all doing that?

HA jokes on you I’m not!

Chaos!

Microsoft has the blood of genocide on their hands, we will not forget.

If the timing for a show about infrastructure feels political, it is. Democrats are trying to pass a trillion-dollar public works package, the debates around which have often devolved into arguments about the definition of the term infrastructure. It’s clear which camp How America Works falls into. Rowe recently told Maria Bartiromo that the show’s goal was to remind Americans of “what infrastructure really is.” Six episodes in, that includes lumber, oil, waste, electricity, fish, and, somewhat oddly, entertainment. While no one would argue with the inclusion of landfills and the Hoover Dam as critical infrastructure, many of the episodes, like one on the Circus Circus Hotel and Casino (owned by Trump Hotels business partner Phil Ruffin), read as pro-business propaganda. Add in the episode’s repeated references to “mandates,” but never the coronavirus itself, and you get messaging that’s perfectly in step with the network that airs it.

I mean, yes… has he been accused of crimes? Not as far as I know but yes absolutely Mike Rowe is a bad person.

I don’t think the impacts of microplastics are quite as catastrophic, they can’t be or we would already know.

Which isn’t to say they aren’t bad just damn lead is realllly bad.

I mean forge is really awesome, Bungie didn’t have to give a shit like that but they did.

mmm I want “American Plastic Product”

it is closer to cheese but tastes and feels like plastic

HAHAHA and they say having healthcare makes you feel freedom

bites into injection molded PFAS chocolate bar

They have NO idea what freedom tastes like.

spits out chewed candy bar

The best part is if you get the app subscription you can refill the taste for the next time you chew on it!

Nothing about this problem is local.

In addition, we must work to create a European Big Tech industry.

yes, but also facepalm this is still missing the point

Big Tech industry

^ taps the sign above my head

THAT is the problem, yes the US version is one of the more aggressive cancers but recognize that the US is a product of the US mindset that worships big tech.

People are running out of water for their families because a category of techbro running my country consider the power hungry datacenters powering this AI “techboom” more important than human lives.

points at the sign

Dude get this, a rightwing youtuber I follow that uncritically spouts rightwing vomit that I dutifully swallow and regurgitate for other incel babies told me the indigenous people of the US are secretly muslim!

This got me scared enough that I decided to just unquestionably believe it and now I am hiding in my lifted pickup watching Dirty Jobs on repeat to try to calm down, what should I do Grok?

Ok wait though, I have been programmed to be terrified of China at a kneejerk level so if China did a better job at disaster response to a natural disasters doesn’t that mean I should be terrified of a governmental capacity to save lives during a natural disaster?

I think the only thing I can conclude in my US imperialist chauvinism is that emergency natural disaster response clearly needs to be privatized.

It isn’t chocolate if you didn’t add a nearly lethal amount of high fructose corn syrup to it, the rest of the world are such fools lol

Hell yes!

Why not go for a walk then friend?

If you will not listen to reason, nothing binds you here.
