It means I think everyone else is an asshole.

I might be too, but I don’t think I am.

If they are closing the store because of the union, it’s warfare. If it’s just unprofitable, then I suppose it’s just impersonal harm.

It’s not betrayal, because they were always the enemy. It’s just class warfare.

At least I understand the words in the explanation.

But who the duck dislike being called a good boy?

Right, but that’s not to protect them from AI. It’s to protect them from us, once we come to our senses.

Because the people with money know they don’t have to listen to the little people.

We don’t even need overblown fears about AI killing everyone. AI is ruining students, ruining artists, causing massive layoffs, being used to monitor and judge our behavior, and is attempting to influence our behavior. It seems there are attempts to give these glorified auto-complete programs increasing amounts of resources and authority.

This is bad for most people. And those of us born after 1980 or so have no illusions that anyone in power is going to care about the welfare of the little people. They only recognize money and power. We don’t have money, but there are many kinds of power. I hope someone recognizes the signs, and changes course before it gets bloody.

That’s kind of the point, isn’t it? Our way of life sucks.

I think Friend Computer knows got to handle mutants.

That, too.

Amen. The web page will be fine.

The web page will be fine.

Of course it will. The chart of everything gets passed on to the consumer. Any concept of the business cutting back on profits or growth because of troubling times is behind us.

Capitalism has metastasized.

We can’t tell if it’s pointlessly gendered unless wet know what the questions are about. Seems likely to be a study of some kind, and knowing how men perceive other men, for example, might be valuable data.

I trust they replied “lol, no.”

Motivation, mostly. I have half a dozen abandoned projects in writing, model building, miniature painting, electronics, programming.

I’m a man of many talents, and limited attention span.

That’s why I specified lady minotaur. I know what I’m about.

Male minotaur need not apply.

If they switched that up for a timid young farm boy and a lady minotaur with huge . . . tracts of land that need caring for, I’d read it. Wouldn’t even need to change the title.

But desires to be less so.

Third time is probably not the charm.

Our incompetent fuck of a president might lead us to war with Iran.

“Feature Phone” suggests that this was from the late 1900s, or early 2000. Storage limits at the time were impractical.
