lack of transparency kills everything. especially when the government already has hostile reputation towards its citizens. which is weird because it is way easier to get reelected when you actually do something that makes life of your people easier and more self-sustainable. but that's probably a bit too much to ask.

meanwhile on reddit the very same premise leads to Epstein files or something.

therefore - fuck all'em

it was fairly on the nose and I thought everyone will have a laugh about it. I was wrong

tough shit, me too. i guess we're friends now.

Just try Star Trek.

Remember that weird ass stream of WWE 13 that used AI players and generative programming for everything else?

Narcissism is scary and ridiculous thing. I actually know a guy who desperately wants to get a Nobel Literary Prize because "he deserves it!". Except no one rightfully gives a fuck. He's an old timer who ended up migrating to US after WW2 with a whole can of worms and then some regarding his national identity. Depending on his mood he's either Ukrainian or American, I'd say he's 100% narcissist who is all about clout. Dude never made it as a writer and gained notoriety in Ukraine due to his outsider status first and yet he's so vain it is kinda morbidly funny - like he insists he's the most experimental Ukrainian writer (even though he disregards every other writer as primitive and retarded) or that he did this or that first (like who gives a fuck?). But even with all these "accomplishments" he struggles to publish anything in Ukraine because wants publishers to cover the expenses and give him "the bag" for their trouble and when he fails at that he blames it on "Ukrainian people being ungrateful".

what baffles me is how blatant the big tech behaves. it is comically Bond villainesque. even big oil and pharma don't act like that - at least they try to play-pretend they're good guys (albeit everyone sees through their bullshit)

why go that far - how about the environmental impact of shelling the area with all sorts of munitions? Pretty much the entirety of russian-occupied territory since 2022 is rendered into a literal dead moonscape and even decades later (if this shit ever ends) a good chunk of that land will remain a red zone filled with all sorts of bad things.

In the end of the day the only thing that matters is how a bunch of old guys feel about the way that thing makes them look

that's not how it works
