Can you not make that point without the ableism?

Exactly…

Victimhood is like an accessory to them, put it on when they need a little pity party, or to socialise some financial losses, but quickly take it off again the rest of the time and be free to enjoy their vast privilege.
Which is how they think actual oppression works, which explains shit like the idea of a “race card” and pulling yourself up by your bootstraps - they’ve genuinely convinced themselves that since their problems are mostly superficial and easily resolved (or buy your way out of), so are everyone else’s.

Anything to avoid addressing the actual cause of the issue… 🙄

Let me just get out my worlds tiniest violin for these exploitative hoarding motherfuckers.

It’s either that, or the guillotine…

Or they could, you know, just give up their wealth if their suffering is so great?
Nah?
Didn’t think so… 🙄

That, or they have a vested interest in continuing to perpetuate it and keep it “alive”, like the owners of this publication clearly do.

Anyone who still believes in, never mind promotes the lie that is (and always has been) the “American dream” should be categorically ignored, if not publicly chastised.

Or one can aim to abolish the entire system instead of applying band aids to the cancer that it is and and pin all of your hopes on them sticking (not even fixing anything, just… sticking)…

If only they hadn’t criminalised abortion, and consistently cut funding to sex education and instead funded shit like “Crisis pregnancy centers”.

Get your head out of your ass.

And before anyone even tries - I have no kids and want no kids, but to answer this bullshit with “don’t have kids” is unhelpful at the very least, and actively licking boot at worst. These problems are not the fault of the people having kids.

Unfortunately this affects many more than just zoomer, fucking depressing either way…

It doesn’t read on demand

Yes, it does, from the information it was trained on (or - stored), which like you say, requires a lot of hardware power so it can be accessed on demand. It isn’t just manifesting the information out of thin air, and it definitely doesn’t “remember” in the same way we do (E: even the best photographic memory isn’t the same as an indexable one).

But the AI isn’t “recalling” in the same way you do, it doesn’t “remember” what it “read”, it “reads” on demand and has instant access to essentially all of the information available online it was trained on (E: though it’s becoming more or less the same thing, and is definitely the same when it comes to law books for example), from which it collects the necessary details if and when it needs it.

So yes, it is literally “sat” there with all the books open in front of it, and the ability to pinpoint a bit of information in any one of all the books in milliseconds.

Just finished watching Praying for Armaggedon and my mind went straight back to my comment here about the crusades never ending. I know they probably won’t, but all the people here who see no issue with OP really need to watch this film. Everyone does.

Silly me, I assumed all people, those in the working class at least, genuinely fear becoming homeless…

Seriously though, what an odd way to frame it, but I guess when you look at the source, it makes a bit more sense that a financial publication will be spreading this kind of out of touch divisive crap, it’s not like they’re going to be honest about capitalism and the fact that people of all ages are finding it harder and harder to survive under it…

Honestly, that’s shockingly low, depressingly even.

As long as people, of all ages, continue to have any faith in the status quo (or in the possibility that “reforming” or regulating it is all we need), even though it is clear (once you look) that they should have none, they will not revolt, or even support a revolt, against it.

I hate to think how much worse things are going to have to get before enough people realise the system was never there to serve them, even if it makes them feel it does sometimes (because they’re a man and/or white and/or abled and/or cis and/or hetero and so on…).

According to these comments there exists some fairy lands untouched by inflation and food deserts don’t exist, it’s just those damn millennials and their avocados again… 🙄🤦‍♀️

The kind of privilege that enables for that level of detachment (within the working class) is already obscene, but then using it to literally claim other peoples’ reality simply doesn’t exist is just so fucking gross…

Maybe people should just be thankful they’ve magically managed to escape the global inflation and all the rest of the bullshit companies are pulling to charge more for less, instead of calling people less fortunate than them, liars.

Meanwhile
Billionaires’ wealth has risen more since COVID-19 began than it has in the last 14 years. At $5 trillion dollars, this is the biggest surge in billionaire wealth since records began

The crusades never actually ended…

New England stone walls lie at the intersection of history, archaeology, ecology and geoscience

Also, cinema

Mmmmmm, eugenics…

Back in my day no one had to tell us not to put a banana in our ear, I’m telling you, the youth of today… Shakes fist angrily at clouds

(sorry, it’s the first thing my brain pulled up when I read the title 😂😂)
