Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

Recently ive been recommended some troupe i wasnt aware of.

This “fix her” stuff.

Idk, i dont like the sound of it

Fixing her doesnt mean the same thing that happened to you when you were fixed.

For one, they dont have any nuts to chop off.

Ok. This video explained it well

Its worrisome if a buttplug wants to screw you...

Preparation complete.

Time for the last Palworld fight and finish this.

Holy damn....

Xenolord Ultra completely surpassed every single one of my expectations... It is way above what I thought he would be.

Force brute wont work here. Gonna need to get back to my bench and redo my strat...

Not gonna finish it tonight it seemms... what a let down...

1, What tech are you talking about? The steam engine? The internet? The rediscovery of concrete?

2, People are never happy with what they have. People are rarely happy with what they get once the fancy wrapping papper is off.

I agree that social media was a mistake, but this goes a bit far. Ecommerce is the only reason half of the amazing things we have available today are viable to produce on the scale they are produced.

Today I felt kinda annoyed.

I ordered a product from a local Amazon-like vendor. More specifically, 4 of those products.

Then I received it last weekend. But the packaging was danified, opened. And one of the 4 items was missing.

Worse thing is that I dont know if who stole that item was the vendor delivery service, or someone from the building, as I normally dont collect the package right away.

Annoying to feel insecure. That trust of a service is broken, and Im at a loss who is the culprit.

What you are really objecting to are the algorithms. The ones that were written to make people angry because angry = more engagement. The ones that were written to make people insecure because insecurity = more engagement.

More engagement = more money so you are really objecting to greed.

Two words:

Found my Musk email in my inbox when I got to work today, along with an all caps email from the union saying ignore it. They promised OPM would back the hell off by end of business, and sure enough, around 3 pm got another all caps email declaring victory. It's gonna be a stupid 4 years lol.

Was OPM ever actually acting like it would be enforced?

I just can't imagine the thought process behind thinking everyone in the federal gov't should send some itemized list of what they are working on to an email address. What an intelligence goldmine if some other nation state was able to get access.

I doubt it, especially since every bit of work that federal employees do is monitored already. They know what we did last week. They know everything I did today, it's on my production sheet. That said, I don't know how OPM was acting, this was a weekend shenanigan, and 99% of the workforce was at home.

Oh I see Musk is saying we have a second chance to respond, or else we will be fired. That's just not how the world works, Elon.

I’m surprised he had a chance to send those emails while he was getting toe blasted by his boss.

AI won't replace most jobs or people, it's just not that capable. It's good at some things but the capability of AI is more about perception than it is the realities of what it can and can't do. The scariest part of AI is not that it can actually do someones job, but that the perception is that it can and what's gonna happen is we're gonna end up with a bunch of broken ***no one can fix because they laid off the people who can.

I've worked in federal roles before and I agree there is a lot of waste, but I don't know that federal employees is the right place to start. The bigger issue IMO seems to be contractors who are put into place to maximize the # of people on a contract whether needed or not. My first contract had 4 people doing a job 1 person could have done and still had free time during the day, for instance. Most of us had literally no work to do unless we went out and found it ourselves. Most federal employees seem to be in a position that is needed and I'm not sure wide scale layoffs ever really work, even in the private sector, people who actually do work get laid off and people who suck get left in their jobs. It's just pulling plugs and assuming things will work out.

The opposite is sometimes true, though. The local forest service district has on staff archaeologists and biologists to deal with NEPA requirements, but this seems to me like something more efficient to be contracted out. Then again, these people don't make much money and do it because they are passionate about the outdoors, so in the grand scheme I'm not sure it is really saving much.

It's fine to hate Elon, and I understand that the email is meaningless. That said, what have you done in the last week? If you're a productive person, making 5 bullet points should be easy and satisfying. Are you opposed to it just because it's Elon, or are you ineffective?

I mean, it was basically a trap. If you wrote 5 things they didn't agree with they'd fire you anyway.

It was lose/lose.
