Wait til the deepfakes that will be rolled out next summer putting words into everyone’s mouths. Completely erosion of institutional trust, which is fine except for you know, clean water, public health, climate mitigation.

Ahhhh so that’s how Newsom was born

Like 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 I’m sorry people pulled politicians out of their beds for less in the 1900s. It’s batshit ridiculous that our voice has no say, meanwhile we outnumber the politico class exponentially. They aren’t afraid of us at all. They don’t care what we say, we are a necessary inconvenience at best.

I’m in California and in my town our downtown main st has been closed to cars since 2020. They have tried to reopen it multiple times, getting voted down by the public so what do they do? Create little schemes to override the will of us. How is that allowed? How does my vote matter?

Have some milk, you deserve it. Get it girl!

Do what you gotta do for you. I’m not voting federally unless the PSL candidates make it to the ballot, with I doubt will happen because someone will sue them to prevent it. Which is wild because how can you sue to keep someone off of a ballot? Ain’t this a democracy? We all know the answer is no

Trump will be fine with it as long as she seats in his lap and plays with his drumstick a bit just like she did as a kid.

Exactly!

I have set up a fake satanic ritual behind my door whenever I saw Jehovas Witnesses coming to my door growing up. A pentagram on my forehead in ketchup, raw chicken in a bowl and candles in a 5 pointed star usually sent them scrambling

Dude we had rotten.com and Boomers had us looking over their shoulder when they got an email on AOL from a Nigerian prince. We also know torrenting and designed html on MySpace while GenZ only knows how to use apps.

Paywalls are easy to get around and with a VPN, finding the right thread on Reddit and some proxy configurations on your local machine everything is available. The internet of the 2000s still exists, just overseas. You have to actively choose inconvenience vs the availability of modern American tech

Do you want to live in a world without access to information on demand? It’s a very scary thought. Personally, I think the internet should be open source and run through the library system. Software should all be free, open source, encrypted and federally funded.

Keep in mind AI firms buy stolen data as well. Imagine a world in which scam callers are AI and they know all of your personal details, they just need verbal confirmation over the phone as they are indistinguishable from a phone rep at a real business. And GenZ fall for these scams more than boomers

Electoralism is a farce when my options are 2 war criminals with eroded gray matter. It’s a farce when local politicians fill city halls with cops and arrest you protesting their decisions. It’s a farce when the very system need dismantling else we all become climate refugees

True alpha mindset requires you to not even think. Go out, grind, do what everyone else is doing because YOU are an individual, everyone else is following you. Genocide is just green tea lemonade don’t let commies fool you. Raise prices in single moms, it’s a solid business model.

Another fun fact, all of your data has already been stolen as firms prop up profits selling it to 3rd party vendors. While Meta for example may have a SOC2 certification, the brokers they sell to have easily decrypted auth. Those firms are constantly hacked and data is sold over the dark web

I can argue Trump has done less harm than Biden with a simple equation.

Which was worse for America?

4 years of Trump who was pushed back against at every point by resistance libs or 40 years of Joe Biden who’s policies are the very reason we are here today vis-à-vis student loans, war, Roe…

But Dr Dev, Biden IS the most pro Labor president of our lives.

He is PRO letting disease spread amongst workers, straddling them with debt, and sending their kids to die for profits.

You’ve got to adjust your mindset and switch to an alpha hustle grind mentality.

I work in tech and guys, it’s going to get worse. AI is resource intensive and the more advanced it gets, the more energy and bandwidth it needs. Our infrastructure is decades old and you will see soon that the internet will be prioritized for commercial enterprise vs consumers due to this
