I used to like him for the "Let's play" stuff. He was just genuinely funny and his shit talking was goofy and made the game fun. But yeah, the second he was on about anything else, the more I realized he's a pretty garbage person.

Weeeeelllllllll. I never realized there was much of a "radical left" until Lemmy. I'm a SOLID progressive. I would consider myself a social Democrat. If you are the same then a Marxist Leninist leftist would consider you an enemy. They don't think their policies could ever be truly enacted through gradual change and that a violent revolution is essentially required.

I'm not a centrist, but ML leftists scare the shit out of me. Meeting them on Lemmy is when I discovered that I'm not actually a "leftist" and it made me do quite a bit of soul searching on what these political terms actually mean.

Lol at AI Engineer. It's like people describing themselves as AI Artists. Sure bud. Sure.

I find it insane that someone paid him money to deploy any sort of AI Agent at their workplace. I would imagine support contracts would be lucrative though.

I used to be that way at that age. I used to take delight in smelling fresh coffee grounds in the morning while making my coffee, and telling myself "Enjoy it while you can, because you never know when it'll be the last time."

Living like that was stressful. I'm in my late 30's now. It eventually goes away and you just learn to enjoy the life you've got without putting the pressure of "... this goes away at some point," weighing down on you all the time.

I mean, there's plenty of things that can be considered left-leaning about it, but they all pretty much surround the culture of programming work. I would tend to agree that there's nothing inherently leftist about programming in general, but I could see how they may feel about it when discussing open source software, AI, and how progressive the general demographics of college educated programmers would tend to be.

That said, your response is a little.... much.

I won't disagree with any of that. There's many many things that could have been done better.

That's not entirely true though. Biden got through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill that invested heavily in developing rural electric and internet. He also supported the USDA ReConnect Program, and several other initiatives. Many of these things that Democrats helped pushed through were celebrated as "wins" by Republican Representatives.

What were they expecting?

Edit". I will say that more investments should have been made in education, but I will always say that we don't invest enough in education.

It's a great age. It's also a great time to start building good habits. If I could go back, I would have spent so much more time developing better sleep and workout habits. Lack of sleep and working out has absolutely wrecked me.

yeah, ok.

"Salty salty insults and name calling"

Real astute observations there.

Iran has been supplying Shahed drones to the Russian military since the start of the conflict. Ukraine told them to stop supplying Russia with the very weapons that enable Russia to strike their cities.

Ukraine didn't go out of their way to start attacking random ships or murder Iranian citizens, or even attack their infrastructure. They sank a ship carrying weapons that Russia was intended to use to hurt them. That's pretty justifiable.

I'm sorry bud, but this is an absolutely ridiculous take.

Russia has been using Iranian Shahed drones to conduct nearly all of their long range drone attacks. In return, Russia has been supplying Iran with Intelligence on the US.

Ukraine didn't just randomly attack a cargo ship. They are effectively preventing Russia from acquiring weapons. Ukraine warned Iran to stop supporting Russia with drones and to not escalate their support. Iran didn't listen.

This has everything to do with defense.

Shut up and take my money!

For real though, casual and chill-out games are so cathartic. Sure, I love my edgy soulsborne action adventures... But a couple of edibles and some Slime Rancher and I'm happy as a clam.
