Dickhead?

Getting older. Lots of drama. Lots of political bullshit I can’t stand anymore and don’t want to hear about. Not saying my situation is the healthiest in the world but that is how I am feeling these days.

I dont even want to talk to half the people I know anymore lol. I stopped using FB but keep it running because there are many years of pics and what not for family. And when I bring it down people freak out and think something is wrong with me. Other than that, it has been stripped of any identifying information, only has people I know and I never use it anymore. That was the only real ‘personal’ place I had on the internet. Everything else is fake names and whatnot, always has been.

Yep… still much more active and more content there. I think Lemmy is great but Lemmy still has a long way to go.

I know some punchy english dudes but yeah, you right. Nothing like America.

Every state has its good and bad. We are out of control with the gun thing. There is a higher chance you will get shot and killed while minding your own business in America than most other countries. We are selfish and not much unity unless you are on one side or there and even then, we have become stupid and gullible. We are violent. We are much more violent in general than anyone I have ever encountered in other countries. Maybe England, but even there, it is not the same. Americans have no problem straight up killing each other. We are getting worse.

Is America great? Depends on who you ask. Is America a place where you still have some opportunities to make a better life for yourself. Sure. But it is not the same as that the pamphlet sold to everyone else. We are far from perfect and in many cases, other countries do things better.

Having said that, it is cool. Just keep your eyes open and pay attention.

They gimped it for the masses but AI is going strong. There is no question of the power of GPT4 and others. LLM’s are just a part of the big picture.

Yes… even there, it has been colonized and the real power lies in the hands of rich white people who are not from the land. The whole colonization experience that nations all over the world have experienced though time has happened there too. Whether by complete genocide or by slowly taking over, using blood quantum and other things. It is genocide.

I am white but born and raised in a pacific islander nation around pacific islanders. There are no men on the planet more manly and tough than pacific islanders IMO. But they are also humble, caring, giving, loving, respectful and in general some of the best people you will ever meet in this life. Piss them off and watch a real warrior comes out.

This weird American macho thing is not tough at all. To me I just see a bunch of weak posers that if called out by a real man, most would cry and beg to not get beat.

I am a straight guy and I don’t want to know what anyone is doing in bed at night. Straight, bi, gay, whatever. There are so many other issues in my life that are more important than the size of some other dude’s penis. I don’t care and don’t want to hear it. I am not trying to be a porn star, this does not concern me. Aside from that, be as fabulous or boring as you want in life, I don’t care, more power to you. It makes my life more interesting, full and well rounded to know you. Even you boring ones.

But these guys seem to be obsessed and weird about it. Caught between trying to use the hatred towards these people to their advantage but coming off looking like total freaks. Or maybe they really are, all just total weirdos.

Americans have not had it hard in a long time. No world wars have been fought on our soil. The wars we have been in since WW2 have not been very popular. I grew up gen X and we pretty much thought the world was going to end and that the previous generations handed us a pile of shit.

The kids now days look at all of us like a bunch of hypocritical ass hats. If I was a kid watching the shit adults are doing and talking about now, I would not be proud either. I would be embarrassed. I am embarrassed of what we have/are becoming. A lot of older people sit around and bitch about the younger generation but we are the ones that raised them. We are the ones not taking care of business like we told them they should. We are the ones babbling nonsense, disrespecting the law, doing all the things we told our kids not to do. Why the hell should they listen, or be proud or form the same values as we may have? We are literally showing them that none of this matters and then turn around and blame them for telling us all to fuck off.

Fuck you. I hate you all.

Just kidding. I like it here. Sometimes a little boring but maybe that is a good thing. I have plenty of things to do. This is a nice break and not stressful like some other sites.

Lemmy still has a small user base compared to sites like Reddit. Some of those features came out of managing huge user bases. And naturally when you have a huge userbase, you have people wanting to make money. Some honestly, some not. The site itself sees the potential to make money. Over time good intentions tend to melt away and the demons run amok.

The trick will be if places like Lemmy and Mastadon and whatever are able to over come this and remain pure.

I don’t operate that way. Kinda sketchy that so many do.

Missouri is one of the worst states ever. I found nothing good there. The people can’t even drive.

I think the key will be the adoption of all the sub-reddits coming here and producing the same quality content they do there.

People have become more open to “testing the waters” of other apps. Sure they are still using Reddit and Twitter etc… but many have also started playing with lemmy, mastodon etc… I have no idea where this will end up but there is a shift of willingness to try something else and that is good start.

American’s are caught up in so much BS that doesn’t matter. We aren’t even capable of focusing on what does matter. All the facts are right there in front of us but we ignore them. We are turning away from science and returning to superstition and religious fanaticism. This whole republic/democracy experiment thing needs competent, clear thinking people to keep it together. It doesnt matter if they are believers or not, they just need to be sane. There seems to be less and less of those people running around or at least speaking up about it. If we keep going down the road we are going now, there is no hope for us. We may have already lost the battle and just dont realize it yet.

I have no idea why he is even there. As far as I can tell it is just because of his last name. Why is anyone listening to him or care what he has to say? I can’t even get passed that part.

Tell my brain that.
