@sircalebhammer I hope you’re able to find some fair-minded left leaning individuals to talk with. It seems these days any moderate or center-left voices are called right wing. There are plenty of them out there, though they may not be in the mainstream or you’ll have to death with the criticism

Friends- I need help. I keep getting TV/podcast invites from creators/channels that lean right, or are clearly on the right. I have NO issues with that- I’ll talk to anyone. But I NEED some left wing creators/channels to chat with for balance before I accept more. HELP!!!

@truckman25 @IkeNotabot @arielhelwani My point is they have an entire year to also be bringing value and I’m sure there are plenty of opportunities for additional funds in the space with like sponsorships and marketing.

@ArchanineDev @IkeNotabot @arielhelwani The most anyone’s fought in a year was 5 times, idk if that’s the right way to think about it

Ronda Rousey announces the minimum purse for any fighter on the MVP MMA card will be $40,000. “If you fight 3 times a year, that is much more than a living wage. That’s something the UFC cannot say.”

@reddit_lies Self fulfilling in the sense that people without actual brain chemistry issues are likely to pickup habits and rationalize their way into an ideology rather legitimately having gender dysphoria, like a fat person saying they have an eating disorder rather than lack of discipline

@reddit_lies Women are beautiful and fashion often highlights that, but acknowledging or appreciating beauty doesn’t make you a lady lol. Might be a long shot here but I don’t think clothed women exist in a constant state of arousal. Transgenderism is a self fulling cancer

Based mom

@Grummz One of them was represented by the Italian government soooooo

You can only choose one.

@felixaBlueSky @TheLegalMindset Retard alert

@TheLegalMindset I think you do this because he is not white, by keeping emphasising his original name.

We are petitioning the prosecutors office to move swiftly to file the appeal for a longer sentence (2 or 3 years), and putting together the relevant case law citing Korean cases far less severe than Johnny Somali (Ramsey Khalid Ismael) that received far more time behind bars

@IkeNotabot @arielhelwani I mean 12k in an hour ain’t bad lol

@arielhelwani UFC minimum is apparently $12K to show, $12K to win. I don't know how many fighters are on the minimum contract... but that is terrible.

@rushicrypto It’s like advertising your game in a game dev community, everyone wants others to play their game, no one wants to play someone else’s game. Well, when everyone has a billion dollar SaaS, no one will want to use anyone else’s billion dollar SaaS. Race to the bottom

If Ai replaces all the jobs, where do corporations expect people to earn money to continue being consumers? I am just not understanding why that simple question is not being asked.

@spotted_model We need more of this actually. All the people who think capitalism is bad because it takes advantage of slave labor need to ditch any electronic device with cobalt in it so we know they’re serious.

Frustrating

@SenWarren Are you referring to FreeTaxUSA? That already exists…….

Wouldn't it be nice if you could say goodbye to TurboTax and file your taxes for free, online, and directly with the IRS? I have a bill to get that done.

@ShaynOSRS @Tectone It is interesting because what he needs is some irl guy friends to keep him accountable but I doubt he really has anyone outside of the streaming sphere, and they’re obviously fake as hell and going to take whatever position they think is the most popular

@ArchanineDev @Tectone As someone who loved watching him during the Among Us days.. what he did was wrong and i agree with you on all that. I won't defend him though. He cheated on his girlfriend and lied. She TRULY is the only victim. He did this to himself. The girls who are farming him right now -

Sykkuno will now be known as a predator for the rest of his life. The women who falsely accused him and labeled him that will face 0 repercussions by the way. Sykkunos career is now most likely over if he doesn’t have the mental to be labeled that forever. Disgusting.

@EricLDaugh Was God on the side of himself when he sent the plagues to Egypt 🤔

🚨 JUST NOW — JD VANCE on POPE LEO: "He said that God is never on the side of those who wield the sword...how can you say that? [Was] God on the side of the Americans who liberated France from the Nazis?" "Was God on the side of the Americans who liberated Holocaust camps and liberated those innocent people from those who had survived the Holocaust?" "I certainly think the answer is yes."

@Steve_Yegge I think people are resistant because they see a skill they’ve spent years developing not only being outsourced away from them by machines, but then sold back to them with token prices they cannot afford. Its very much a people vs profits issue and I prefer people to corpo greed

I was chatting with my buddy at Google, who's been a tech director there for about 20 years, about their AI adoption. Craziest convo I've had all year. The TL;DR is that Google engineering appears to have the same AI adoption footprint as John Deere, the tractor company. Most of the industry has the same internal adoption curve: 20% agentic power users, 20% outright refusers, 60% still using Cursor or equivalent chat tool. It turns out Google has this curve too. But why is Google so... average? How is it that a handful of companies are taking off like a spaceship, and the rest, including Google, are mired in inaction? My buddy's observation was key here: There has been an industry-wide hiring freeze for 18+ months, during which time nobody has been moving jobs. So there are no clued-in people coming in from the outside to tell Google how far behind they are, how utterly mediocre they have become as an eng org. He says the problem is that they can't use Claude Code because it's the enemy, and Gemini has never been good enough to capture people's workflows like Claude has, so basically agentic coding just never really took off inside Google. They're all just plodding along, completely oblivious to what's happening out there right now. Not only is Google not able to do anything about it, they don't seem to be aware of the problem at all. I'm having major flashbacks to fifty years ago as a kid at the La Brea Tar Pits, asking, "why can't they just climb out?" My Google friend and I had this conversation over a month ago. I didn't share it because I wanted to look around a bit, and see if it's really as bad as all that. I've been talking to people from dozens of companies since then. And yeah. It's as bad as all that. Google is about average. Some companies at the bottom have near-zero AI adoption and can't even get budget for AI. They may have moats and high walls, but the horde is coming for them all the same. And then there are a few companies I've met recently who are *amazingly* leaned in to AI adoption. One category-leader company just cancelled IntelliJ for a thousand engineers. That's an incredibly bold move, one of many they're making towards agentic adoption. In my opinion, that company is setting themselves up for a _huge_ W. As for the rest, well, it's the Great Siloing. Everyone's flying blind. With nobody moving companies, no company knows where they stand on the AI adoption curve. Nobody knows how they're doing compared to everyone else. Half of them just check a box: "We enabled {Copilot/Cursor} for everyone!" Cue smug celebrations. They think this is like getting SOC2 compliance, just a thing they turn on and now it's "solved." And they don't realize that they've done effectively nothing at all. All because of a hiring freeze.

@sircalebhammer Seems reasonable that she wanted to date him and acted in ways she thought would achieve that. She’s a victim of failing to live up to her own standard

Are we still doing the “I’m a victim for having consensual sex that I regret” thing in 2026?

@xQc @pokimanelol That one girl is a victim of having a consensual one night stand with someone she wasn’t dating

Who are the victims in this case, and please elaborate on victims of WHAT? @pokimanelol

@farzyness Until they start building them in space

It's becoming super obvious that most people in the US do not like AI. But there's an easy way to fix this. It's actually super simple. AI companies pay for every home's electricity and water bill in the counties where data centers are built. Easy. You literally start proving out the abundance thesis the second those data centers get approved. Per Grok 4.20, there's roughly 50k homes in an average county in the US, with an average yearly utility bill for electricity and water of roughly $3k per year. That's roughly $150m per year per county. Each one of the biggest data center hyperscalers can very easily afford this. You'll have counties TRIPPING OVER THEMSELVES to get a data center built in their region. It's such a no-brainer solution.

@k1rallik These companies don’t care about individuals paying $20/mo for chat, they care about the people spending thousands of dollars per month on tokens. They care about cutting billion dollar deals with other companies. We’re just here to offset their losses, we’re not the gameplan

🚨 do you understand what AI is actually doing to the economy.. 55,000 AI layoffs in 2025. 61,000 already in 2026. companies are firing humans to pay for AI. then using AI to fire more humans.. then wondering why no one can afford their products. > Amazon eliminated 14,000 corporate jobs. redirected billions into AI infrastructure. > Salesforce replaced 4,000 humans with bots. CEO called it "rebalancing." > IBM erased its entire HR department. replaced with chatbots overnight. > 245,000 tech jobs gone in 2025 alone. highest cuts since COVID. the question isn't whether AI will take your job.. it's whether there'll be enough jobs left to keep the economy running at all.

@laetissima918 @RachelXReads Can we make houses a little cheaper? Lol

Personally, I am sick of people wanting everything to be cheaper, free, a human right, etc etc. When we make everything cheap, nothing has value. Not the quality, nor the labor, nor the ingenuity in its invention. It used to be that books were a luxury item. You have one as a status symbol. It is passed down. It is cherished. Like a piece of jewelry or art. Now people treat books like junk food. And the quality of books out there reflect it. There are very, very few works of literature past the nineteenth century remotely worth knowing precisely due to the fact that literariness itself is no longer valued.

My husband wrote a book that sells close to 250 copies a year, and it sells more every year. He gets less than a dollar per book. Writers don't write for money. They write because they believe in what they put on the page. Buying a book is one small way you can show appreciation for the effort it takes to create something they hope will make your life just a little bit better.

@tom_shepperd @GamewithDave Still, just because there isn’t a cost doesn’t mean you can do whatever with someone’s property. I generally agree though, the world was a lot cooler before everything became a service. I want to own things I buy, not lease them under terms of service

@ArchanineDev @GamewithDave True. That's a good point. Still, creating a copy of 1's and 0's doesn't cost them anything. If you spend $70 on a video game. You should own it for life. Especially if you have a disc.

If buying games doesn’t mean you own them anymore… don’t be surprised when people stop respecting the system.
