  • The collapse is already in process. So I guess that’s one nice thing - it’s already here, you don’t have to be worried about it beginning. Trump 1 destabilized a lot of things combined with COVID and Trump 2 following a limp Biden admin has finished the job. Pax americana is dead, and the world as we knew it relied on that status quo.

    I don’t know what’ll follow, whether in America or abroad, but we’ll all still be here and life will keep going. Don’t let it keep you down. If reading the news keeps getting you down, then stop reading the news for a while. Filter your feeds to show only happy things, or just disengage from social media entirely. Algorithms are designed to drive engagement and anger is proven to be the most reliable form of engagement, so social media is just an anger factory anymore. Disconnecting from it for a while can be good for your mental well-being.

    There’s still plenty of joy and hope and happiness to be found in life. Sometimes you might need to turn down the volume on other things to find it, though.




  • Aren’t the data center deals only finalized and paid upon actual completion of the project? Like that’s part of what makes the AI thing a bubble - companies are trading IOUs. I pinky swear to buy these chips once I have the data centers to house them in and the data centers have the power, water, etc from local infrastructure needed to operate and you pinky swear you’ll have the actual physical goods available at that time to fulfill that order.

    What happens if a large amount of these pinky swears, which inflated stock prices are built on top of, fall through?


  • Or you could just make a waifu gacha game that people install freely because, dude: anime tiddies! And it requires kernel level anticheat because you definitely don’t want people getting their waifus and husbandos for free.

    I don’t know that any of that is or could be connected to spyware, but it seems like if I wanted to orchestrate some kind of hidden state sponsored spyware network, targeting the gooners that will voluntarily install software on their phones and computers would be a lot simpler than hiding shit in RAM.




  • Breakfast: a couple peanut butter sandwiches or quesadillas (just tortilla and shredded cheese, maybe a little hot sauce.) Sometimes I’ll add an egg to the quesadillas if I have time.

    Lunch: none

    Dinner: Beans and rice or maybe rice or ramen with some mixed frozen veg and furikake. Or just more peanut butter or coldcut sandwiches.

    Being poor and too stressed/tired to give a fuck sucks. Just gotta make it a couple more months and I’ll be able to fix it all. That’s what I keep telling myself anyhow. Gonna try to scrape together some spare change this coming month for a bucket of Orgain or something. Extra protein, fiber, etc.
