It isn’t a short read

I’m convinced that this is why Americans don’t know

i want to imagine that it came from a world too innocent to believe that drones would become so ubiquitous in warfare. lol

don’t know; that’s why i asked

Does dronies define liberals only or is it anyone center-right?

again, feelings are not facts

i literally just pointed out many instances of the same thing happening outside of china; my point is that it happens everywhere and your feeling that it only happens is china is not reality.

it’s not just the usa; similar actions have happened in the uk and france regarding the genocide and they’ve also punished people for advocating for lgbtq rights in the past.

that feeling that you have regarding repression from countries like china is only a feeling; not reality.

I just have this feeling like you get persecuted for speaking against the government in countries like China

Tell that to the students that were expelled from their universities and had their degrees revoked or the public employees that were for fired for speaking out against the American government’s support for the Gazan genocide.

Not to mention the civil servants that were fired/fined for advocating for LGBTQ rights in the decades past.

plys there’s profits to be had in crushing dissent.

that’s probably to be expected from youtube

the only surprise is learning that people still didn’t already know.

why is it not surprising that the .worlder’s use them?

lemmy is not even a blip on anyone’s radar and huge majority of its users still primarily use reddit and twitter.

ai is a water and power intensive tool for the ruling class to further suppress people and labor movements to their benefit as well as help control who is permitted into the “in-group” for the future.

it’s actively accelerating climate change that will result in ending our civilization in the future and, like our captured political process, everyone sits aside and just lets it happen out of fear of being harmed themselves.

meme’s are more consumable because of their brevity and their humor and i wonder whether or not they’re more proned to manipulation given that longer forms of media DEFINITELY are given that they require much more capital to create.

This field is so incredibly lousy w people like us that it makes me marvel at the ones w the kind of job security that I crave because it means that their hyper focus not only aligns w the company’s profit line but they’ve also managed to have a tenure that steered clear of enough clueless neurotypicals to keep them from getting fired or on the chopping block for a layoff.

I qualify as an aspie too and I would likely be in the same boat were it not for my software development skills.

i love this and i’m stealing it. lol

i’ve recently had to accept that my neurodivergence makes managers, supervisors, etc. uneasy about me despite my stellar track record and the sole reason why i was able to maintain continuous employment was because of my high demand skill set; which means that employment will become increasingly difficult as i continue to age.

my experience suggests that they usually either go into consulting or software sales/relations; it went back to IT because it’s easier to find work due to the lower levels of gatekeeping, which helps ensure that i meet my need to remain in the place i’ve chosen to live out the rest of my life.
