politics @lemmy.world•Zohran Mamdani says 'you have to luck out in some big way' to achieve the American Dream now—and many people see better odds of winning the lottery
15·5 hours agoWell, we’re not very democratic anymore. Yeah, yeah…we get to vote for our leadership. “Democratic”. But that leadership is already vetted and chosen by the wealthy with campaign contributions to ensure that an elected candidate will do what the wealthy want with barely a veneer of helping the actual country and citizens that are supposed to be the beneficiaries of the democracy.
The wealthy fuck everything up.
Democracy turns to oligarchy, socialism overrun by authoritarianism, liberal revolutions usurped by dictators. All systems fucked up by people consolidating wealth and power.

Technology@lemmy.world•'Big Short' Investor Expects AI Bubble Burst 'Sooner Than Later'English
5·6 hours agoA broken clock is right once a decade.
I partly disagree. They won’t follow the rules because they have their own way of doing something, right or wrong, not simply because they reject following rules. That also doesn’t mean they won’t follow a rule they initially rejected if they FAFO the reason for the rule.
As for being pissed when others don’t follow the rules, 100% true. Whether it’s office favoritism allowing someone to get ahead rather than doing the work, or someone taking cuts in line. That’ll blow a fuse.

3·12 hours agoMaybe if they were sedated first. I can’t imagine having my head shoved in a place to cut it off and hearing the thing start sliding down.
Work computers and devices are for work.
Personal devices are for personal stuff.
Never ceases to amaze me when people get a work-issued device and they’re like “free (laptop, ipad) dude! and load it full of personal stuff. No effing way.
Any decently equipped IT department can see all that crap, and you’d better hope it’s decently managed because if it isn’t it could leak, whether by remote managment or if you break the device and have to surrender it for repair/repalcement.

Technology@lemmy.world•'Big Short' Investor Expects AI Bubble Burst 'Sooner Than Later'English
61·12 hours agoThey’ve been saying the “bubble is going to burst” for a while now. If they keep saying it eventually they might be right. Then everyone will jump up and down trying to claim they were the ones who rightly predicted it. A quick search by date shows plenty of articles discussing the AI bubble from 2025, 2024, and even a rare few from 2023. Three years of doomsayers waters it down to meaninglessnes even if they‘re eventually right.

1·12 hours agoI can’t believe they don’t just use barbituates like some countries with physician assisted suicide do. They just fall asleep, essentially. Not that I’m arguing in favor of the death penalty in any way.

8·1 day agoIt certainly feels like we’re treated as peasants like they are in those movies where the king and royalty just treat everyone beneath them like shit. We’re just rabble to be mocked, fodder for the peerage’s disposal. Except you know, unlike real life, in the movie the bad guys get it in the end.

I clicked through rewatching some of it and it’s generically raunchy, like it was trying to outcompete the American Pie movie for sex references and topless women.
Edit: It can be very depressing in winter.
