Tbf, it’s not really the IT grunts pouring their heart and soul into this trend. It’s more the top-level execs seeing more $$ in their pockets at EOQ/EOY bonus time by hiring fewer 6-figure employees and relying more on AI hallucinogenic LLMs, while the grunts dabble with it fight with the stupid piece of shit just so they can say “Yeah sure I used X AI program to help speed this up” appease these idiots who believe it’s their saving grace.

This is an interesting take, and one I hadn’t thought of before. We should definitely keep punching up, and maybe start punching out, too.

Jesus how fucked is this. 4 posts into the feed and that’s enough internet for me today.

I don’t believe you’d be a constructive contributor here—or anywhere

Jesus did they use AI to generate their response, too

Eesh, behind the times here I guess. What does this mean? What are we expecting or antipating?

Edit: I see the article’s insinuation that increased traffic could mean something’s going down at the WH, but what are we thinking?

This. Cyclic sighing is where it’s at, can’t even begin to describe how helpful it’s been for me.

Oh shit same here, the winky face wasn’t meant to imply otherwise. Was more like “hey now, let’s be clear on what’s what”

I think the guy he killed

Allegedly 😉

Oh geez, no sorry, I’m not telling anyone to stop caring about anything, and def not something like climate change. I’m just some idiot on the internet lol, not anyone who should be telling others how to live their lives.

I was just trying to explain that therapy, again good therapy, can help people find peace, let go when they need to, or figure out how to carry the things they care about without being crushed by them.

Edit: typos and formatting

Totally get where you’re coming from. If you’re staring down the barrel of something massive like trauma, abuse, an entire system that’s completely fucked and seems way bigger than you and the others fighting it are or ever will be, it feels like no matter how much “self care” you do, the external crap stays the same, right?? It’s fucking maddening.

But idk, to me, therapy (actual, good therapy with a non-shitty therapist) isn’t about giving us power over the root cause, not always anyways because like you said, sometimes it’s impossible. Imo, a lot of times it’s about helping people stop handing more power to “it” (whatever it may be) than “it” already has. We don’t get to choose what happens to us sometimes, but we do get to choose how we respond to it, how we carry it, how we let it affect us, how we pass our pain onto others. Realizing that can be a super uncomfortable, yet extremely liberating, paradox. Like, okay, I might not be able to slay the dragon here (sorry, nerd here), but I can sure as hell stop feeding it in whatever way I was (constant unhealthy thought patterns, my own actions or the lack thereof, etc).

Therapy doesn’t fix the world for sure, but it can help us decide which parts of the suffering are necessary, or which parts we might be unconsciously choosing to carry longer than we need to. Idk, that’s where our power really is, imo.

Edit: fixed some typos

Why not MACO? TACO and MACO. It rhymes and makes sense ya know (T for Trump, M for Musk)

Probably this?

Looks like it’s been legitimized previously https://lemmy.world/comment/15468351

Is that a meth pipe, or a lighter heating up a spoon? I think we need to track down the original artist here to confirm.

Edit: there’s quite an interesting debate in the comments about this already 😅

Were you hoping for “the one’s she’s dating”? 😂

In all seriousness OP, I’m very happy for you and glad things have turned out so well for you!
