@frozenaesthetic Texas has been part of 6 different countries including Texas as a country itself. There is no other state like Texas, it is mostly a pride thing.
English

This is my vague consensus of some US states as a British person
New York: Big city, very diverse and I remember it has yellow taxis
Kentucky: Fried chicken, redneck land
Wyoming: Nothing happens there, it's boring and barely anyone remembers it exists
Florida: Insane people, retirement homes
Minnesota: ????
Delaware: I feel like it's very industrial
Texas: Cowboys, loud and excitable people
Louisiana: More chicken
Hawaii: Obama was born there, beautiful place with volcanoes and I believe an indigenous language
Pennsylvania: Talks like bish bash bosh, extremely American and enjoyable accent
West Virginia: Country Roads take me home to the place that I belong
Alabama: Incest and very very Christian
Nevada: Desert
Iowa: ????
Oklahoma: I think JD Vance is from there and it had a big emo/scene thing
California: Sun sun sun, very liberal and world famous oranges

@richa_lq Thats why I tell everyone to carry around a lucky crystal.

My cousin has a very odd look that could be described as having a big doofy head. he also has a minor speech issue and a thick new york accent. He comes across as a tad crazy to some.
But he’s attractive in other ways, and to some people very attractive. Hes 6’4”. Has a college degree, some connections in NYC.
One time this dude at a bar misinterpreted the things my cousin was saying which were actually quite clever, but he being drunk, thinking my cousin was “foreign” and tried to “rescue” a girl from him. The girl was my cousins wife who made absolutely no indication to anyone she needed help from anyone let alone this drunk moron. so he ended up in jail for randomly assaulting an above average couple at a bar.
The convo about this guy reminds me of that for some reason.

Am I in another reality because this guy is very attractive imo? Smooth clear skin, tall, well dressed, smart glasses, cheerful demeanour, strong build, nice face? I’d be flattered if he liked me
Westside L.A. Guy@WestsideLAGuy
This is successful founder of Airtable Howie Liu & wife (she’s 3 years older). They have a great life together, new baby, and I’m sure he’s a loyal provider husband & dad. But she’s not genuinely sexually & romantically attracted to him. To deny this reality is cope.

@Noahpinion And if you’re a lagomorphic extremist AI is more likely to pull you towards a guinea pig appreciating center.
English

AI is a force for moderation. If I'm a Republican, and I talk to AI, I'm talking to something that was trained on data from both Republicans and Democrats. So the AI is more likely to pull me towards the center.

@greatestbkfacts I was planning on creating a github profile. I didn’t know code was involved?

@LutheranNerd @MOOOOrion @LokiJulianus Some people who support ubi are basically. My ideas would be more like a respurce dividend. In any case, similar solutions will need to be put in place because overall resources are going to increase but traditional wage income will have serious issues.

5th is harder. Russian, German, Japanese, Portugese, Hindi, Bengali, Arabic are all serious candidates. Strictly ROI based I think German might be a good 5th pick.

@MOOOOrion @LokiJulianus welfare is targeted aid. ubi is cash for everyone. This will be easier and easier to do as gdp increases.
English

100 years ago most americans worked as farmers. Most of our jobs would seem like bullshit jobs to people 100 years ago. This is in part because the economy is based on wants not needs and there are infinite wants. So 100 years from now most people will do services ie jobs that seem like bs to us now to satisfy wants- things like social media influencer for example. Money and “jobs” will be easier to come by not harder.
Ubi would likely not be enough to pay your mortgage alone assuming a high mortgage . You could always refinance or do some work that appeals to you on the side.
English

@BryceFrank40887 @LokiJulianus Oh ok so they will pay my mortgage with ubi. Cool.
English

@MOOOOrion @LokiJulianus No because overall production will be up and we will have ubi.
English

@BryceFrank40887 @LokiJulianus Oh so people who's jobs are replaced (50x in the next three years according to Anthropic) will just have to fend for themselves in unemployment?
English

@BryceFrank40887 @LokiJulianus Oh so the government will pay my big mortgage if I get laid off?
English

@balajis us box office is like arcades. It used to be the center of the video game industry but now it’s insignificant.
English

@MOOOOrion @LokiJulianus With the money from excess goods and services. For baseline needs part of the excess is used to fund ubi.
English

@MOOOOrion @LokiJulianus The overall production will be greater so those people will have more free time to do what they love.
English

@LokiJulianus Ok how about "once AI can do all the work of 1/3 of american jobs?"
Sound better?

I have often said if I was a billionaire id open a fully staffed blockbuster. Not because it would cost a billion of course but id need to be that rich to justify the 10-100s of thousands it would lose per year. People are not quite nosralgic enough to bring it back but almost. Too many malls and public places closed for online spaces.
English

There is something going on with pre-smartphone nostalgia.
This isn't just "meh I must be getting old because I miss the past" (I'm older millennial).
I've never seen people crave the past as much as they do now.

@GarrettPetersen Why didn’t you vote for him, and what can he do better in his next term to change your mind?
