Believe in yourself. If these dipshits can become the president of the united states or the wealthiest man in the world, even a dipshit like you can make your dumb dreams come true too!

@luckytran Pneumonia isn't a virus which can be prevented by a vaccine nor is it a bacteria which can be cured with antibiotics. It is a symptom caused by many different sources in much the same way a cough is a symptom. There are no vaccines for pneumonia and no vaccines for a cough.

I know we live in a world where AI companies and big tech often don't seem to have a strong code of ethics. They sometimes appear to disregard guidelines. However, here is an old page that explains the Code of Ethics for System Administrators. As an individual, you must always follow certain ethics and codes of conduct, even if others aren't. It helps you sleep better, and at least you're contributing to making the world a better place.

I am still seeing tons of articles in the mainstream media about how Democrats need to win back disaffected Trump voters. This is despite the data which clearly shows that Trump's vote did not increase significantly over 2020, but rather that Democratic voters voted in substantially smaller numbers.

I see no articles about how Democrats need to energize their base to vote, which is what the data indicates. The mainstream narrative is pure bullshit.

Under #Trump, #EPA scientists say managers encouraged them to delete evidence of chemicals’ harms, including #cancer, miscarriage and neurological problems, from their reports. And in some cases, they said, their managers deleted the information themselves.

Hey everybody, remember when Kristi Noem put into her memoir and then very vocally told the world that she'd wantonly and pointlessly shot a puppy to death, and "everybody" was horrified?

Everybody except for a few people who pointed out that she was advertising her qualifications for a major role in a fascist government, by clearly demonstrating her willingness to do anything regardless how morally and viscerally repellent?

Proposed Head of the DHS, how about that, huh?

it is weird every time one of the humans asks me their only question "where are you going for christmas" motherfucker I do not get my dopamine from accommodaton and other peoples religious holidays(???) I get my dopamine from learning and doing cool shit.

is my kind really so rare a breed that nobody has ever asked me what I am reading this summer, or what systems am I experiencing, or even just what am I designing right now.

are the interesting humans of earth only on the fedi?

A friend lent me his copy of The Unaccountability Machine, which is about how corporations have adopted systemic approaches that make it virtually impossible to hold any specific people accountable.

Any trans person that they eject from the army will be welcome in mine.

"AI" developers: I'm going to make something intelligent and then make it do exactly what I tell it to do.
