Frosted Flake posted:Well also, it was why the Americans were unique in preventing, certainly not recognizing, marriage, breaking up families, frequently reselling slaves, making manumission - even of the mulatto children of slaveowners - illegal etc. and then we let these monsters right back in the union love a good bipartisan compromise, i can practically picture johnson personally slapping all of the traitors on the back and thanking them for coming to their senses gently caress THIS DEMON CRACKER HELL NATION

Cuttlefush posted:yeah nobody should be calling it ai except as a shorthand because it's easy to say and most people know what you mean. people treating it like it's actual general artificial intelligence are dumb. it's a toy to gently caress with. capital is frothing at the mouth for a magical inscrutable expert box that lets them justify racism and harassment and worker abuse and union-busting. it has nothing to do with factual accuracy or any other objective measure, they want a 3rd party vendor-provided plausible deniability appliance. that’s the end game here, an escape hatch for liability when corporations do evil poo poo sorry employee who tried to unionize, but the hr system determined you’re underperforming using proprietary metrics and you’re fired now. you can sue but the courts will happily nod along and dismiss your case as soon as the company’s lawyer explains that the computer simply can’t be biased, it’s best of breed and standards based!!

Willa Rogers posted:if arbitrary generations were real, I'd agree with you. boomer is a state of mind, does that untangle this very complicated subject for you? its a state of mind that allows you to own multiple homes, multiple vehicles, and still complain about ungrateful lazy millenials and zoomers. like every single one of my multiple boomer bosses has done, multiple times.

Vox Nihili posted:The definitional stuff has been a media toy for decades. When you have nothing of substance to say you write a bunch of hazy, sweeping generalizations about tens of millions of people who in reality exist under wildly different circumstances from one another. Gen X are slackers! Millennials are slackers! Zoomers are slackers! It's the laziest poo poo in the world and other than the baby boom, which was at least an actual demographic event, it's all almost wholly arbitrary. cool now do every real-life boomer actually believing and saying these things, in real life. its not just the media my friend, these people are real, and they actually believe these things. how do i know this? they tell it to me, with their mouth-parts.

Smythe posted:my anecdote to agree, broadly, is my stupid apartment building. we are all of similar circumstance, i guess what used to be called middle class. the oldest is 50, im 38, some of my neighbors are in their mid 20s, another lady is 39, and one dude is in his 60s. there are a few more of us but we're all between say 25 and 50 aside from the one outlier, and we all share the same general social values. community, kinship, "progressiveness" although the degree to which some are "libs" and others are "marxists" varies somewhat. but i dont see any insurmountable generational divides. i wager its more about class, lol. SHOCKER!!!! 25 - 50 is not boomers, and that 60 year old would turn into a screeching prop13-loving nimby/landlord the second anybody handed him a property deed backdated to 1982.

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:Gonna lol when this turns into a “if you’re scared stay home” situation you nailed it with the "public health becomes personal choice/personal failing" transition, any systemic problem will be chudified and converted to "if youre a scared little baby with 40 genders, dont participate, but if youre a virile american winner, youll put on american sniper, salute the tv, and eat the prion-burgs before 2nd amendmenting your spouse" i know you idiots only remember sailor but you gotta keep in mind: its not DNA, its USA.

V. Illych L. posted:apropos of nothing much i never understood the antipathy americans have for coming in to work in the office until i realised that you people all live an hour's drive away from your jobs, which is an astounding notion to me we hate work for a lot of reasons, and that's just one. others include: -there's no legally required time off for anybody, and it's completely legal for your boss to cancel your vacation hours before it begins. -there's no national paid leave for new parents. you can get 12 weeks of unpaid leave, that's it, gently caress you -health insurance, which is basically required to obtain healthcare in the US, is provided primarily through employers. except for the ones that don't--then you, the prole, get fined by the IRS, instead of them. you read that right: it is unlawful for us residents not to possess health coverage, and it is legal for their employers and the government not to provide it. -in most states, it's legal for your boss to fire you for any reason or no reason, with no notice. -in many states, politicians are actively trying to kill or immiserate all the non-rich. one state actually *decreased* their minimum wage, and many others are trying to kick people off of free federal health coverage (medicaid) because america lusts for death. -in all cases, in all areas of life, enforcing your rights can only be done through the court system, which is unnavigable without a lawyer's help. boss loving you over? landlord loving you over? lol hope you already have money, and the judge isnt a landlord too, or trying to get reelected, or friends with your landlord and/or employer. i honestly don't know how you explain this place, other than "there's a national death drive that can't be stopped". a whole country full of the dumbest, cruelest motherfuckers alive

Frosted Flake posted:There was a book on eastern bloc agriculture I have somewhere around here that shows that they were able to grow tea, even kiwis and bananas in parts of the USSR, I think Central Asia, but the Soviets were looking to develop more-or-less equally and so, to their credit, didn't want internal bananas republics. That was a really incredible choice and I wish I could find the book because the politics behind it, it's fascinating. Treating the people of you know, the southern end of the middle of nowhere as workers who deserve development, and so proper development, industrialization, instead of maximizing the output of agricultural commodities that are in demand, that's pretty striking. This is dope, whats the book plz
