AI is just the new cool way for billion-dollar tech companies to steal even more from people.

We get the worst of both worlds here, we pay for our data to be taken so they can sell it. If they’re going to sell my data either way, I would prefer it to be free to use the internet at least.

AI will write them and AI will read them to us.

Congrats on getting a father capable of rational thought, better late than never.

I’ve been to Vegas twice and both times had a really great time. Its very fun downtown, and cheap.

General tickets are around $450, which is very high but not insane for what concert prices are these days. Shit it was $120 for the CHEAPEST seats to see Post Malone in my area this month.

Oh yeah they are! If you wanna get really crazy, for the last 3-4 years there’s been a music festival in Las Vegas called “When We Were Young” and its all the punk rock/pop from the early 00’s I mean like all of them. Its a 2 day event with 2 stages.

Here is a flyer for this years show.

She’s still doing tours too, last year she was in my area with Good Charlotte.

As someone with addict parents, PBS quite literally raised me. Like it was one of the only things I could watch for free that wasn’t daytime talk shows, had it not been for PBS I’d have been raised by Jerry Springer and Maury, and I imagine that some kids were.

2 things can be true at the same time.

You can pick whichever dinosaur you want though, if they want a chicken I’m cool with that, but its a boring choice.

Not fully sentient, smart enough to understand each other’s body language, but not to have conversations with, no magic.

I think I go dinosaur and pick a small one. I don’t wanna feed a damn dragon.

Raptors seem like a good pick, I could train it to guard my house, and it probably wont cost a million dollars a month to feed.

I agree, because I was the kid who didn’t have any respect for a hypocritical parent.

My mom did a very good job at teaching me that respect is something that is earned and THEN she taught me to think independently and stand up for myself. These are all things she was supposed to do of course. However she followed that up with becoming an alcoholic and crack addict who would leave me alone all the time so she could go party for days. Then was absolutely flabbergasted when I showed her that same level of respect and didn’t follow her rules anymore.

I was in counseling and anger management and truly believed I was the problem at the time, but looking back now that I’m in my 30’s, what did she expect? She’s the one that taught me not to take any shit, and then she started giving me shit.

Do you like to see how things work? I took my laptop apart once to replace the screen and it gave me so much anxiety, I was scared I wouldn’t be able to put it back together again, but I did! It wasn’t that hard.

One of my favorite things about this time of year is that I can finally sit outside with my laptop and work in my garden while watching the birds. Lots of times, deer will come around too if I am being quiet and still.

I’m good under pressure and I learn from my mistakes. Waiting until the last minute to get it right is exactly my style.

Like other people said, just keep coming back and participating. Lemmy is gaining users and lots of communities are very active. I’m rotting my brain very well around these parts.

You would have to explain the whole gig to every copy and I just don’t think you could convince 1 million people who have memories of their friends and families and lifestyles to co-operate in starting a new society from scratch, they would just fight each other and bring back capitalism and probably blame whoever their political adversary is at the time for ending up on New Earth. Humans with Old Earth memories would be impossible to work with.

But Idk I maybe they fight for 20 years and decide they might as well give it a shot with the humans that are left and then your society starts, hard to really say. None of its ethical, thats for sure.

I bet there is a crunchy mom that can tell you what plant to eat, but there’s like a 70/30 chance its gonna kill you instead.
