I think it was the venues they were set to play at that refused to let Macklemore perform

Co-founder donated to a fringe party supporting remigration

I love memes that are created for one specific purpose and can never be used again. Perfect

I think Black Ops 2 was as far as we needed to go with realistic graphics

Your link is broken btw

“You had your eyes wide open… Why were they open…?”

I really wish my cactus never died

Artist: Knapsack Can’t remember the song name right now

It’s the opening lyric to the song, and I just think it’s a great way to illustrate depression, and wanting with every fibre of your being to do something but being unable to.

Technological progress alone (AI included) is not going to solve poverty, homelessness, starvation, inequality, etc.

We have the ability to solve those now. We already know how to solve those problems (no AI needed). But as long as we have capitalism and heirarchies, much of humanity’s labour is going to be spent toiling away at meaningless jobs instead of improving the human condition.

We are in the dystopia you fear we’ll descend into.
