As long as it cycles correctly, it'll be fine. You got the shitty meme gun so it looks a little shit.

But also a handgun is worse than useless unless you practice shooting it. I'd trust someone to just pick up a rifle and use it in self-defense. I wouldn't do the same for a handgun. Unless you can hit a man size target from draw regularly, I wouldn't use it even in an emergency. A fucked up trigger pull or flinching will literally prevent you from hitting the broad side of a barn.

Copious amounts of chemical filters in order to avoid processing reality.

Or just disconnect from the false internal narrative that things were ever going to be okay. History is one big story of shitty things happening to good people. If you get rid of the just-world fallacy and accept that this part of humanity just crops up sometimes, you'll probably be happier.

Yeah the world is collapsing, it does that every 50 years or so.

I made this shit up while high on kratom lol. It is a funny idea though.

As someone who does back end, If I was in a locked room with two bullets, one web dev, one Scrum Master, one HR scum, and an 80 year old boomer client who doesn't understand how the internet works....

I'd shoot the web dev twice.

Nah, I meant exactly that actually.

I'm a sub for a local Middle school and the kids are so fucked.

Some history teacher taught about the Maine ship explosion and how it was used as a pretense for the Spanish-American War and immediately a group of kids started espousing anti-Spanish views. I thought it was a joke at first but then a kid from Spain got jumped at lunch today and was called an Spanish slur I never even heard of before today.

Sure, here's a couple from Tech:

  • "Web Developer" -> I'm a bad person.
  • "Java Developer" -> I drank the OOP cool-aid and gave my first-born to Moloch to not have to deal with garbage collection.
  • "Site Reliability Engineer" -> I would murder every single one of my employees for a .2% increase in yearly profits.

Never trust bourgeois weather outlets. Use Marxists books and shamanic trance to divine the answer or else you're a liberal.

Barbecue is absolutely a class issue and I have unironically ghosted people over it before.

There's a very large distinction between an AI capable of emulating human intelligence and an AI capable of making decisions.

ChatGPT can give you an answer but it's incapable of acting on that answer. Even if it was a perfect intelligence beyond humanity, it would still be stuck in the same old box. The most these types of AI could do is replace code/text or use software to perform some per-determined actions. The "solution" to this problem given by lots of AI-brains is that once it reaches a certain level it will somehow gain the capability. But technology isn't a linear advancement to infinity. Eventually Moore's law will fail because there are limits.

We're probably centuries away from AGI. By then, any critique we have today would ultimately be outdated.
