Ryan Hall can be very entertaining but there are much better and professional sources of information out there. My favorite is Tropical Tidbits (https://youtube.com/@tropical-tidbits)

It’s a general feeling of dread of the weekend ending and having to go back to work on Monday. Some people let it ruin their Sundays.

Thr scaries start for me once it gets close to noon and the day no longer feels young. The feeling that the day is lost merges with a similar feeling about life, which urges me to do something, anything, with my time.

That’s when I usually get a burst of productivity that lasts until it’s 5pm. The weekend is gone and it’s time to enter self care mode. That usually means good food and entertainment in one form or another. As it gets dark I’ll start trying to stop time with booze or a bit of weed as I indulge myself with sports or a movie.

I will often go to bed early so I can be all cozy and in a safe space to go down a wikipedia hole, read a book, listen to music and just veg in general.

Once the day is actually over the scaries usually have disappeared oddly enough.

Maybe. The people who have always said 30 years were scientists and engineers. Those now saying 5 to 10 years are VC backed startups.

Progress is definitely being made but I’ll believe the optimists when I see the results.

One reason is that he has demonstrated over the past 8 years that he’s not really better at forecasting than others. But the main reason I say that is he’s shown his ass on social media time and time again. I don’t have specifics so can’t really defend my accusation.

Nate Silver is a hack, but agree with everything else you said.

Of course, but the percentage of capable zoomers who are actually tech savvy is much smaller than millenials, for the reasons already stated.

Just the other day I witnessed a zoomer grad student who didn’t know how to use a file explorer on his new windows laptop because he had grown up with an iPad and iPhone.

Are you 10 years old or just stupid?

This has been a popsci fantasy for a quarter of a century or more. Google tried it and gave up.

I still do, but I used to, too.

Wobbly windows, rotating cube workspace switcher, and a flaming bonanza animation when a windows was closed.

The year was ~2003

You sound more like an agitator trying to sow resentment than someone who actually believes in liberal values.

Shitting on anything except a magical savior that waves a wand and makes the world anew is a delusion, not politics.

Me: hey, some sorely needed common sense reforms got passed. Rural hospitals in a majority of states have the desperately needed federal funds to stay open and people are less likely to die because they cant afford their life saving medicines, great right?

You: fucking idiot, not every problem on the planet has been solved! How dare you celebrate solving just one problem we’ve been fighting for a generation to get fixed!

This comment is proof a certain segment of liberals just can’t be happy.

“just Medicare expansion and lowering prescription drug costs” Just?! Oh you mean just two issues which voters have been demanding for over 2 decades? Just what democrats have tried to accomplish forever but Republicans have blocked?

Political parties are capable of having and achieving multiple policy goals at once. Jesus christ.

I was very against Hillary running in 2016 for this specific reason. I don’t care how qualified a candidate is. If they are related or in a relationship with a previous president I don’t fucking want them. This is America goddammit, we aren’t supposed to have nobility.

I am 100% convinced Twitter is being intentionally destroyed by a cabal of evil oligarchs and nation states.

You’re probably thinking of cobalt or perhaps hard rock lithium mines. Most lithium is just pumped out of the ground as brines, just like oil.

Fire their ceo that they’re paying 6 million a year

IMO Linux has had superior usability for at least 8 years.
