Well yeah, one of them involves standing up to corpos and the other one would require actually talking to your kids, and conservatives are nothing if not cowardly, so

My dad has been that guy! We sure ate a lottt of Silver Wok during that time 😋
Yeah if investors can’t make cartoonish returns for doing literally nothing what’s even the point of gouging customers??
People will be laid off
Spoils will be enjoyed
This great economy… it will endure
The working class will survive!
I think people miss an important point in these selloffs. It’s not just the raw text that’s valuable, but the minute interactions between networks of users people.
Like the timings between replies and how vote counts affect not just engagement, but the tone of replies, and their conversion rate.
I’ve could imagine a sort of “script” running for months, haunting your every move across the internet, constantly running personalised little a/b tests, until a tactic is found to part you from your money.
I mean this tech exists now, but it’s fairly “dumb.” But it’s not hard to see how AI will make it much more pernicious.
Man I’d be so mad if I’d built up a sweet severance, only to have to quit for better work

Let’s do both! I welcome our imperfect solarpunk future with open arms
Damn that sounds like a fun read.
Maybe your awareness splits with each copy, so you go from an “I” to a “we.” No such thing as a “master” copy then, just different organs of the same meta entity
Would you be able to live with yourself?
I mean I hadn’t seen this until now, so thank you
It’s funny because I always heard that the rich preferred perfumes over bathing, and looked down on peasants for their bathing, especially public baths.
No source. It’s just what I heard. Even if it’s true, who knows what era and people it applied to.
Parallel means poopie
Probably better to limit ownership to directly interested parties, like workers and maybe customers
