I drove Amazon Flex during Covid, having an AI as your boss is deeply and perpetually unsettling but ultimately doable! Just do what the push notification tells you to do. If you want to say something to your boss, use the feedback form on the corporate website. So simple.
The Mac one could be a lot more realistic:
“Mac OS Yellowstone is available for your Mac, and will update tonight.”
“Mac OS did not update last night because you left some windows open.”
“Mac OS will update tonight, but you must enter your fingerprint and password to make it happen.”
“Mac OS did not update last night because you didn’t enter your password again at 2AM and we weren’t sure if you really meant it”
I live in a city that’s half black, in one of several gayborhoods. I keep wondering when black and pink panthers will form and start patrolling. Probably when we get hit with our first localized stochastic terrorism incident. There’s a rainbow crosswalk that rednecks love to come do burnouts on. Tensions run high with highly conservative MAGA folks dominating the rural areas just miles from our very flammable houses with rainbow flags.
But you know what happens when the panthers start patrolling? Suddenly, gun control.
Our cops wouldn’t arrest them but the feds would probably escalate it. I am not sure how it’d play out today.
I lived in Seattle for a while and got used to the nudity, imagine my sadness moving to Arkansas which bans any public nudity “within view” of the opposite sex (hello gay campgrounds) - but last year I saw a lesbian go topless at Pride and I was SO happy! My straight neighbor made it a point to mention how she didn’t care for that, and I’m like, it’s our event lady, don’t come.
He basically shredded the Hatch act his first term, there were no consequences, of course he’s just gonna flat out ignore it this time.
If you dig through the finer marketing print, it seems like this is a concept you can “lease” for the next 12 months, meaning it’s not a rebrand at all, just a year of alternative packaging. But hey everyone is talking about them, so it worked.
If you argue it with any of these smalltown dinks, they’ll tell you it’s just the liberals molesting kids anyway, so the solution is to get rid of democrats. There is no amount of stats or math or logic that will sway this.
See, you can build coal plants in poor/black areas, so you don’t have to see the pollution, nor your kids have to get cancer like those silly poors. And then you don’t have to put up with woke shit like windmills. Sigh.
I suggested drawing in chalk on the street outside of the governor’s mansion, to protest the GIANT chalk Christ she had commissioned across the driveway to celebrate Easter one year.
It wasn’t even a serious call to action.
well… therapy absolutely helps you figure out your needs as an autistic person (complete with a real diagnosis) and helps you develop safe coping strategies for this and being queer in a hostile place.
A good should help you build a real support system and protect your self-identity from harmful family, including forming a plan to leave them. And learning to love yourself, awkward as you may think you are.
I guess I see a lot of things in your post that a therapist could and should help with. I’m wondering if you had good ones, and what they were doing with you in that time.
Just as you wouldn’t go to a surgeon or dentist and let them work without a treatment plan, you should agree on your goals and the modalities a therapist intends to use to get you there, at the beginning. And you can refer back to this to see if you’re making progress or not.
Unfortunately like all healthcare now, you often have to research and become your own self advocate first. You should fire a therapist long before you spend thousands and years doing nothing. Bad therapists are out there, a lot of them. But good therapists can move mountains.
Ding ding ding!
Yep my current account exists because when I got here, I said something that hurt a mod’s feelings, and so they decided to ban me across multiple communities. In the mod log, they even say “I need to cool down now” so it’s obvious it was an emotionally driven decision, but there was no reversing it.
So I couldn’t post in LGBTQ, 196, and several others.
Don’t hurt mod’s feelings.
As the death of the Internet becomes more obvious, new technologies will spring up to replace it with a decentralized, non-commercial version. Already seeing apps coming out, like BitChat, that don’t use the internet at all.
Steve Jobs figured it out, you just have guys parked outside the engineers’ homes, ready to kill their kids if the demo fails.
Put that bad boy on the national mall so the park service can come destroy it in the night
I’ve been averse to trends like this, but I did get on Facebook and Insta this summer at the urging of some friends (I run a nonprofit so it’s useful to network). By last week I had both apps on my phone and was just numbscrolling through Insta videos. Realized my mental health had gone to absolute shit in weeks. Deleted the apps andI’m feeling myself again.
It really is dangerous what they’ve created, if I didn’t have ambition, I would be right there zombified.

Stamp. Someone will come out with an easy-to-use stamp that defaces these coins in a uniform way that can’t be removed.
Not if the IP is purchased by another company leaving the original saddled with the debt, or spun off so the parent company can rebuy it thusly, or the government bails them out, or buys it to be the State AI too, or a bunch of other scenarios in this dark new world ahead.
