14, actually.

In our post-AI era, is job security strictly mythical? Or How to believe in careers as a concept worth doing?

With the lastest news of AI layoffs, I’m struggling to understand how the idea of a career still holds. If careers themselves effectively become gambles like lottery tickets, how do we maintain drive and hopes in the longterm endgame of our struggles?...

ColeSloth ,

Welcome back to blue collar, boys. Just keep it union so no one gets fucked on pay.

Despite all the AI and robotics, semi trucks will probably stay manned at least another 20 years, manual construction of houses and building will still be around for another 25 years, welders (non mass production) like building and piping will be around for quite some time, auto mechanics, and Healthcare workers, hvac techs, electricians, plumbers, construction, mailman, airline pilots (at least passenger airline), gun for hire, firefighter, police, emt/paramedic, and MORE.

There’s a lot of jobs that aren’t even close to being phased out. It’s just that most of them involve you actually not sitting on your butt all day.

Scam how? Selling pre-launch could have been a scam. Money taken from investors could have been a scam, depending on what they pitched. But selling after a complete and known flop of a release? There’s no cards left on the table to be scammy about. “Here’s our brand name. Here’s our patent collection. We’d like to think our patents are worth a ton of money, but we know we’d be lucky getting twenty million.”

Even if they did want to give up their phones, they wouldn’t for anything with a two to four hour device. Let alone something that only has a mild neato factor of a low powered laser projector. Smart watches do the same shit with a longer battery life and virtually no one’s replacing their phones with those, either.

Sell it and buy a steam deck. I’m over 40. The deck made me like gaming again. So many fun games and immediately being able to sleep the system while in a game and then waking it back up to be right where I left off is a huge benefit to me.

ColeSloth ,

Easy to solve.

Buy one of those electric hand warmers and wedge it between the two thermostats.

ColeSloth ,

M1, Tiger, t-82,…wait, I think that might be a calculator.

ColeSloth ,

You mean a Tigger?

You generally don’t buy a business and then figure all of that out. You figure it all out and then buy the business. IGN already would have 100% known the managerial setup at these companies.

Beyond the other good recommendations here, go on amazon and do your search for “mechanical keyboard” armed with a bit of information first, like knowing that you won’t find a good mechanical keyboard for under $40.

Then click on one you’re interested in that has at least 50 reviews and check that it’s been for sale for at least 6 months. If anything hasn’t been for sale very long, or hasn’t gotten many reviews, it’s likely a poor product.

Now for the other important bit. Go to the reviews and sort them by NEWEST. Every scam product in existence gets the initial ball rolling with fake/paid reviews, but then stops after a couple months. So when you sort by newest and look at the most recent 20 reviews, those are almost always mostly real people. Those are what you want to look at. If a product is rated 4.5 stars with 500 reviews, but the most recent 20 don’t average out anywhere close to 4.5, you know the product is a lie.

New Details on Valve's New Game 'Deadlock' - Insider Gaming (insider-gaming.com)

As already leaked, the game is a 6v6 third-person hero-based shooter. Heroes include magicians, robots, creatures, humans, and more. There are currently 19 different heroes, each with different abilities and playstyles that you’d come to expect from a MOBA including ranged, healers, tanks, assassins, etc....

ColeSloth ,

My issue with games like LoL is that they start making changes and adding so many new heroes to it, that eventually, unless you’re playing it several times a week, you fall way behind on gameplay. I never like taking a couple months off to play some other things and then feeling completely swamped on new content or having to recognize 150 different heroes.

ColeSloth ,

Any pay wall that let’s you read that much article before showing itself to be behind a pay wall can burn in hell and would have no hope of getting my business purely out of spite.

ColeSloth ,

I need a hot key on my android phone to just flip off scripts real quick instead of having to go three pages deep in settings to turn it on or off.

ColeSloth ,

I want a blacklist instead of a whitelist. On by default, but always off on some sites.

ColeSloth ,

Now we’re talking. I wonder if I can set up the apk I use for Lemmy (Thunder) to use ff instead of chrome. Time to check some stuff.

Society did let this happen. You know how many rednecks I run into who think billionaires are just success stories who did a good job? You know how people chose to listen to the anti union propaganda back in the 1950’s onward? Up until around 5 years ago back on reddit I was in the minority on being pro union. The population absolutely allowed this to happen. We have 80 year olds running the country because the 20 year olds are 100% straight up too lazy or apathetic to vote in elections. When only around 30% of the eligible under 30 crowd vote in elections. Go try and do something that’ll change it.

ColeSloth ,

Society allowed themselves to be lead around like sheep and fall for the propaganda. The rich kept saying unions were bad, and you fell for it. They said socialist ideas were bad, and you fell for it. They allowed for all sorts of things that were bad for society, because they said and advertised they were bad for society, and you all bought into it. The people here just fall for the propaganda. For decades and decades. Society allows all the propaganda to shape their opinions instead of thinking for themselves and now we’re neck deep in shit from corruption and greed. The oligarchy needs eliminated and we can’t even manage to get a 25 year old to a voting booth.

ColeSloth ,

I rarely get McDonald’s, but one of these ones was built near where I live a couple years ago (replacing an old one). It is always a complete ghost town inside. No one eats there. They have all the parking and all the seats. Just none of the customers.

ColeSloth ,

Their fries used to do it for me. A long time ago they were fried in tallow and they had a better ratio of longer fries. They also used an amount of salt that tasted good right after getting out of the fry oil so it would stick to the fries, but the huge difference was the oil. They tasted so much better. Now my favorite fry choice is Arby’s curly fries.

ColeSloth ,

I imagine in 20 or 30 years, after they’ve decided there’s no other way, we’ll start blocking out the sun in order to cool the planet. There’s a few different quasi realistic options they’re actually looking into to try. Currently, they’re hard or wasteful.

ColeSloth ,

Not the Mac n cheese for the last like 20+ years. It used to use real cheese and really did taste better. I know the internet got all uppity against kraft a while back, claiming they started making the noodle portion worse somewhere around 2016 or something, but that’s nothing compared to the big taste difference that happened when they stopped using real cheese.

ColeSloth ,

I’ve thought of an improvement to an existing product, but don’t have the thousands of dollars to try an patent it, or start selling it in it’s improved fashion. It sucks, cause it would be nice to have and I think a lot of people would want to buy it.

ColeSloth ,

Just learn to play the 4 chords so you can make a pop hit.

ColeSloth ,

Oh my God. This brings back memories of me in 7th grade via 1996 taking a spelling test.

Over half the class got the word “combat” wrong, and we were dumbfounded enough about it that our 60 year old teacher had to pull out a dictionary to prove it. Thanks a lot, Midway Games.

Krazy times.

If you read another article that has more information to it, instead of just this opinion piece, it looks like they hired and paid a voice actress and that it is her natural voice (supposedly).

Which begs the question: Can a voice actor be denied work or denied the ability to have their voice used, if they sound similar to someone else who is more famous?

ColeSloth ,

Well one of the other articles I’ve read said they listened to and sampled 400 voice actors and selected 5 of them to have flown out to do all the voice work. The voice in the product also doesn’t sound that much like Scar Jo. Just similar. She never had a very unique voice.

ColeSloth ,

Then what about impersonators for hire? Or like a Motley Cru cover band?

ColeSloth ,

The voice they’re using isn’t a replicated one, though. It’s a paid voice actress and it is supposed to be her natural voice. It also does sound a bit different than scar jo.

ColeSloth ,

Ditto.

If you ever re-watch Milo and Otis, you’ll be traumatized at how many puppies or kittens they probably went through.

ColeSloth ,

By the rules of Shawshank Redemption, this now means that the mailer must start sending TWO cardboard letters a week asking to make video about Brazil.

ColeSloth ,

For real. I almost never turn my deck off. It just stays suspended right where I left off in my game. I push one button, and 3 seconds later I’m right where I left off.

ColeSloth ,

The point is you don’t need to be at your house, or a place to set a tiny TV, or a kickstand, or a wall outlet. Also, if you’re using an Xbox controller, I can’t overstate how hard you are missing out on gyro controlled aiming on a steam deck. It works incredibly well.

ColeSloth ,

Nope. No issues at all. Uses up like 5% of the battery per day to be suspended like that, so if I’m playing through a game I can play the entire thing without ever seeing a boot screen or intro or having to worry about getting to a save point. Just right back into or out of the game within a couple seconds.

ColeSloth ,

I remember having that happen to me sometimes when I was playing borderlands quite a while back, but what I’ve been playing the past several months doesn’t have it happen, so I thought they fixed it. If they haven’t, I guess it must be game specific.

ColeSloth ,

Between the microplastics, the pfoas and other fluorine based stuff from 3M, and the lead in fuel that airplanes are still allowed to use, and the lack of a more natural diet, it’s no wonder we’re all so screwed up.

ColeSloth ,

For thousands of years it wasn’t aerosolized. It isn’t even debated anymore. It’s a known and accepted fact that it has made people dumber.

Iranian President Raisi feared dead as helicopter wreckage found (www.yahoo.com)

(Reuters) -Hopes are fading that Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and his foreign minister have survived a helicopter crash in mountainous terrain and icy weather, an Iranian official said on Monday after search teams located the wreckage. “President Raisi’s helicopter was completely burned in the crash … unfortunately, all...

ColeSloth ,

From other stuff I’ve read tonight, the pres and the SL were both pretty much sharing the sane agenda, so I really doubt this will shake stuff up, much.

ColeSloth ,

Probably? Lol. Bro

ColeSloth ,

If Ian’s shoelace site dissapears, I’ma bounce too.

“David Copperfield cannot hide or make his close friendship with Jeffrey Epstein disappear,”

Oh, I beg to differ. That guy is good.

ColeSloth ,

That’s snoop dog looking like he’s gonna go break some laws.

ColeSloth ,

Took me several tries back in the day to sing that all in one breath, but damn it, I was determined.

ColeSloth ,

I bet it will be made to run awesome on steam deck.

ColeSloth ,

It’s obvious because the woman “factoid” origin is completely made up and untrue.

ColeSloth ,

Sure, if you need less power and want to deal with the extension cord, and where you’re blowing is within 100 feet of an outlet. Doesn’t work well for gutters or large properties or houses with only 1 or 2 outlets outside.

Huh. I can’t think of 297 other uses for a leaf blower, so I guess your 99% claim might be a bit…overblown.

ColeSloth ,

30 minutes from a $100 battery vs an hour from a $1.25 in fuel, no recharging, and no batteries that go bad.

ColeSloth ,

? Not high enough to keep leaves from plugging them up. I mean, I could technically get it done with a huge extension cord, but that would be a terrible pain in the ass.
