Paradoxish posted:Part of this is that media literally only shows a lifestyle that exists for maybe 10% of the population, or even less if you want to talk about the percentage of the population that can afford that lifestyle without financial stress. It creates a ton of absurd contradictions and completely poisons any kind of public discourse. And then social media turns this into a nightmare feedback loop where everyone has to present a fake life to keep up with a status quo that nobody is actually living, and the worse everyone's life gets the more they have to overcompensate in their presentation. So we end up in this situation where if you scroll through Instagram it seems like everyone is living their best lives and all their dreams are coming true and every day is such a joy, but then you go and look at statistics and it turns out everyone is anxious, depressed, drowning in debt, suffering from imposter syndrome, etc.

The original problem with social media was that everyone talked about their life like they were bragging at a high school reunion, but IG and TikTok are filled with loving social media "professionals" who spend absurd amounts of money to portray a completely unattainable lifestyle. It's insane.

My favorite part of the Theranos saga was how obviously bullshit it was and how evasive they were being the entire time but the investors still just ate it the gently caress up and went  mystery box.They even brought along a lab scientist or pharmacy guy and they didn't even pretend like they were going to listen to him and instead went to a sushi restaurant and clapped like seals at the performative nonsense they trotted out. No one was ever going to not be good paypigs for Bloodbae. Vox Nihili posted:Italy was one of those countries that got wrecked by COVID almost on the level of the US. Could be a downstream impact of the impact on the older workforce plus energy prices connected to the Ukraine war. For whatever reason it's no longer popular to bring those up when rising prices get mentioned, but the EU in particular is still looking at major cost increases due to the war. Italy had the most American like healthcare system, particularly in Lombardy, which has the most American system in all Italy.

Beached Whale posted:Intel is really getting clobbered in the server market eh? Yikes, and where a bunch of their plants are in Oregon they are building luxury homes around a million. In a somewhat impoverished area, there really isn’t much else around there for high pay jobs other than intel. Seems bad! This is on the heels of cutting compensation a few months back too so they could pay a dividend.

It creates a ton of absurd contradictions and completely poisons any kind of public discourse. Coupled with the fact that TV constitutes the bulk of people's "lived" experiences and interactions with this society. I should know, because I was such a person  . Isolation as a teenager meant the only time I would see people interacting with each other was on a screen. I got really good at making tv show references and not so much the socializing, and then weird kid gets isolated and the cycle continues. This is also why a lot of guys are running around with guns thinking they're going to Live Free or Die Hard and why people think relationships and dating work in a way that it doesn't in real life. Everyone is watching shadows on the wall and forming their worldview based on that. I figure this is also why people get their hackles up pretty much only about media properties not doing the thing they want. This is society to them, and it's unfair that these people aren't on the TV or that these people are on too much and that this TV show should have a THIS telegraphed moral.

so the details of TD's anti-money-laundering measures are sufficient for them to carry out normal operations, but insufficient to get regulatory approval for a merger. got it. https://twitter.com/DeItaone/status/1655634663145127937 quote:The banks called off the proposed union Thursday, citing uncertainty over whether and when they could receive regulatory approvals, without being more specific.

As a big bank, just how obvious do you have to be to get in trouble for this sort of thing? Also I think First Horizon is fishy too, they gobbled up a bunch of smaller banks quickly and were trying to get bought out, I think… I think that our banking system might not be strong or stable.

Dr. VooDoo posted:desantis’ entire plan has been to setup timebomb policies in Florida that make good sound bites for the baying chud hogs on a national level and escape to national politics, a shot at the presidency, before his policies really hit the fan and Florida bursts into flames. Turns out he’s a sniveling nerd that people don’t actually like so now he’s squirming because it’s looking more and more likely he can only perform well in Florida and his sacrificial offering of the state is gonna go off with him still there I kinda get that so many failsons are incapable of thinking more than five minutes ahead. And that DeSantis is just throwing anything out there that scores him points with the ravenous horde that is his core voter base. But at some point doesn’t he have to think at least far enough out for the next election? Or at least have some sort of advisor to think that far ahead for him? Doesn’t matter how many points he scores today, if his state implodes before the primary election even starts, much less the media cycle for the regular election. I guess I just haven’t been brain damaged by money/power enough to not think through the repercussions at least somewhat.

There are people who go to the park every day to eat said meal, which I guess might be worth it if you live close enough and like overpriced hamburgers. *restrictions apply

Supposedly DeSantis is a pissier bitch than Trump is and pissed off a substantial portion of his campaign advisors and staff to the point that they switched to Trump and are feeding him information on DeSantis' weaknesses.

skooma512 posted:Coupled with the fact that TV constitutes the bulk of people's "lived" experiences and interactions with this society. This thinking has also completely taken over politics too, both in the sense that politics is presented like a TV show and that people can only conceive of politics as interactions between notable characters. Trump is seen as the good economy guy not because of anything he's actually done, but because that's what his character is. He's the business guy and Republicans are the economy party. Everyone knows that. Just like everyone knows the Dems are the party that cares about minorities. Their actual record on minorities is immaterial because caring about minorities is their role on the show. The war in Ukraine isn't allowed to be placed in a historical context because that is taken as a suggestion that didn't flow entirely from Putin, the main villain of the story.

When I was just a lil' undergrad Hubbert, I picked up a copy of Jerry Mander's Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television for some light summer reading. Thanks to that book, I no longer watch television (except for maybe The Last of Us), and now very rarely watch movies.
