Gen z in America is hard mode on life, for sure.

Maybe not compared to India or Asia but still hard, from a western point of view.

Also because growing up on social media made you compare with others all day long, and you realized you dont have the same options as the previous generation in your country.

Its because we are moving towards an economy now where humans will work for Ai in exchange for basic income. For that to happen, you cant have too many people who can opt out, so you need a poor population.

I hope at some point, Americans realize whats happening and starts getting rid of data centers and flock cameras and whatever else they are putting up to make this happen.

Or engage in politics if you believe that will help. There will be a lot of discussions and decisions about these data centers being built. They need a lot of them.

That seems super annoying to use actually. It all makes sense now.

Aha, interesting. Yeah I figured there must be a reason. :)

Yeah, context is very important, and also ability to see through propaganda and brainwashing.

Hehe. :) Well its interesting to think about language. And how words are connected with certain emotions. We make noises with our mouths or write letters with our fingers, and that can create massive reactions in other people.

Gen z comment.

To me this joke should be about Teslas, not BMW…

Just based on what im seeing when driving. I was starting to think that Tesla made that function very difficult to use or something.

Not originally, but some people started using a perfectly normal word as a slur.

It happens a lot. The word bitch was also a completely normal word for a female dog.

Probably many examples if anyone cares enough to find them.

And airplane tech still looks like 3 decades old. :)

I guess it is like that always… The airplanes are always quite old.

Like an middle aged baby.

I think books are cool. Anyone who read books is a cool person and not yet lost to social media addiction. They can still be in the moment with themselves.

I had a period when I could not read a single page in a book because my mind was constantly wanting to use the phone instead. Many people are like that right now.

People seem to care more about synthetic benchmarks than using a browser that gives them much less tracking and ads. Remember when chrome was popular because its so fast? I never noticed a difference between that and Firefox in ordinary web pages, except Googles, since they are intentionally making it slow for Firefox.

And with all that going on, people still picked chrome. :)

There is a bigger picture here. Food in America is using ingredients that is not allowed in the EU because its seen as toxic. That is what the focus should stay on i think.

The stock market is going up despite all this. I think investors think that profits will continue to go up while jobs are being cut. Which means these corps must now do more with less people. And the market thinks thats going to lead to more profits still.

I guess they think the future will be much more automated and need people less. And they could be right.

I would recommend endevour OS which is based on arch, so you have the latest drivers and kernel always. Ubuntu is always old and may not work properly. Try that one and things will likely just work out of the box.

I dont think its difficult. Nobody has a gun to my head forcing me to do it.

Difficult things in life are things like being permanently sick, disabled, being poor, being ugly, being bullied, being with a toxic partner, having a toxic boss etc.

But not eating unhealthy food, thats not difficult. Unless you are poor, like someone said above. Then its difficult because you cant choose something else.

Special media needs to be called toxic media or something.

I think its horrible that so many things are happening to us from our own government. They are supposed to be on our side but that was long ago now.

Ah yes, didnt think about that. I dont blame any poor people for doing what they need to survive. I would steal food and do what is required if I needed to.
