The billionaires, and a disturbing number of people who aren't wealthy, long for feudalism.

Management really wants to push me into using AI, but I genuinely haven't found a use for it. It can't handle complex things, trivial or repetitive things don't need it, and I have two decades of content that no AI could ever reproduce.

I've seen what happens when people use AI to handle anything other than trivial tasks. Calling it useless would be an understatement. It touched code it had no business touching and tacked its own dollar store code onto the end of what it should have been modifying.

You do understand that the US bans ingredients that the EU allows for the same reason, right, sparky?

For example, in Europe McDonald's French fries contain 3 ingredients (potato, salt, oil) and in the US there are around 20 ingredients... The US adds all that extra shit to make the frier oil last longer, to make it easier to clean, etc. and fuck you for being poor if it gives you cancer.

That's actually a very poor example because the US and Europe have very different regulatory frameworks. The US actually requires more details when listing ingredients than Europea does.

I don't understand why people are bitching that the companies that they choose to use have so much power over their purchasing decisions. "First this, next sex toys! Then contraceptives!" Like Jesus fuck bro have you not heard of cash?

Because that's what groups like Collective Shout do, sparky. They think just acknowledging that LGBT people exist is "too adult".

When was the last time you paid cash for a Steam game?

Strangely, this may be the one time when the science agrees with them.

It's still "proper bread", sparky. You clearly know nothing about baking.

Yes, for tax purposes. It says nothing about the nutritional content.

The bread being considered cake thing isn't what you think it is. It was a matter of taxation, not nutrition.

Every chemical is potentially risky in sufficient amounts, even water.

It's not as much of a thing in the US today, but even the European Commission has found that it's not a problem unless you're eating 5% of your bodyweight in chlorinated chicken every day. It's mostly protectionism for European poultry farmers under the guise of safety.
