Keep in mind that’s Income Tax. Most rich people don’t actually have income, they have capital gains.

Related to what you said, but not necessarily this post: I was so damn frustrated with my neighborhood community the other day. We had a vote on whether or not to repurpose a huge grass field that takes up a ton of water and sees very little use. We’re wasting a ton of money (and water) watering this pristine empty field.

The main argument for keeping the field was “we waste water in other areas of the community as well. The common-area sprinklers were on when it rained the other day. We need to address all waste before making a decision about this empty field.”

There are a lot of people that don’t realize you can make incremental progress towards a goal.

Instant karma. Love it.

Remember when gas was cheap because the entire country ground to a halt due to Trump mismanaging COVID? Those sure were the days…

On a somewhat related note, Crime Scene Cleaner is such an oddly relaxing, thought a bit gruesome, game.

I’m in the same boat. On the one hand, it’s the best car I’ve ever owned. On the other hand, Elon Musk.

That’s dope as fuck

How’d you pull that off? The question mark looks like filament, not like a neon tube.

Didn’t they actually have people in robot costumes previously though?

Sharing this post I made 5 months ago:

I’m an IT consultant and I had a meeting with AWS yesterday. My manager asked me to give the AWS team an overview of our solution so they could see what they could use for a new program they were pitching our clients. That’s all the information I had, so I started the meeting by saying “I’m not sure what you all are proposing, so I’m going to give you a high level but please let me know where you need more details.”

After I had finished giving my overview, I tried to get more info out of them about what they were proposing to build. I shit you not, their response was that they wanted to "build an app that allowed the business to run with AI and ML (Machine Learning).”

They didn’t say, “we want to solve X and Y problems” or “enable Z functionality.” Literally their entire goal was to build something with AI. I’m glad I wasn’t on camera or in person, because I literally face-palmed.

This boy’s got the look of a future Supreme Court Justice.

I love the angry eyebrows in the last panel

I’m curious if this is a straight port or if they updated anything.

“Alright, let’s turn on the AI Mega-Thinker 3000 ^TM and see what it says about solving climate change.”

INVEST IN RENEWABLE ENERGY AND OVERTHROW THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS

“…well that can’t be right.”

I think there are a few unchecked bots that do that. Every once in a while I’ll make a post or comment and it goes to 0 immediately.

I watched The Wire way too late in life. I watched it last year and my wife couldn’t get into it because of the old technology, but fuuuuuck was it good.

And then once you finish it, you can watch Breaking Bad again. Then El Camino. Then loop back around the Better Call Saul again. And once you’re done, you can watch Breaking Bad again…

The thing that’s so great about Mr. Robot is that it ends perfectly. You can tell the show writers decided exactly what story they wanted to tell and then executed on that plan. They didn’t just meander about and eventually land on a half-assed ending once the show’s budget dried up.

I went back to Voyager, which is a shame because I really like Sync and pay for the premium version. But yeah, it’s completely unusable right now.

I wonder if they censor mentions of Lemmy or if all the people that left for Lemmy are gone and no one noticed. Like, why are people still there and putting up with more of Spez’s bullshit? Do they not know they can just leave?
