Old world middle eastern religions have been following the same pattern for 3,000 years … and there were other traditions that came before that.
Modern AI wasn’t programmed for us … we were already programmed to be idiots already.

I have run out of cyan … I am no longer sentient :(
Oh … I thought those were therapists
They’re actually blind … blinded with rage
The planet with finite resources is more than enough to sustain every living person on the planet and probably more. The problem is that those limited resources are being horded and guarded by a handful of people.
… before exploring a new area of land … they download a map of the area first … otherwise they could get lost
I have a bit of respect for these people in the photo (not that much mind you) … because they are actually showing their faces and let everyone know who they are.
Modern day white supremacists constantly have to hide their face and identity because they know what they are doing is wrong and won’t be accepted by anyone.
Are you talking about the Specific Ocean?
God chillin out watching some exotic alien flying behemoth gliding through the atmosphere of some gas giant planet in an entirely different galaxy that humans will never hope to see: HEY!! Are you masterbating again!!!
Give them another four years and it will be the White Trash Trailer Park
So … does it mean I still get to go to heaven?
Having to ask continously for positive feedback is usually a sign that you are a shitty app or person.
If you are genuinely good at what you do or provide a valuable service or activity … people will be willing to say so on their own.
Reminding people for feedback might remind some people to say something positive, because people are lazy and don’t usually comment.
But if you remind often, all the time and badger them, then it’s usually a sign you don’t have anything valuable to offer and you’re just marketing something as hard as possible.
Break from the norm and make a little money however you can and live within your means.
The price you pay for living with little is not that bad when you have your total freedom to gain.
I spent the past 30 years scraping by doing odd jobs, building, construction, renovating and whatever hands on work I could find. I’m no pro, I just work and work continuously. I’m not wealthy by any stretch, but I do own outright two old used vehicles, three old motorcycles and I own my own small property. If you saw my old house and old car and truck, you’d think I didn’t have much money. My greatest wealth is in being able to say I own all my things and property without debt.
After spending years wondering what to do with my life, I’m happy with where I am now.
‘The customer is always right’ … doesn’t mean anything any more.
Don’t get me wrong - actual customers will always have no power no matter what platform there is.
The problem these days is that sellers, competitors, marketers and salesmen have co-opted the idea of ‘customers’ to screw over the entire system for everyone - customers and sellers.
Whatever you do in online sales, whether it is selling or buying … never trust anyone and don’t promise anything beyond what you are originally expected to do.
Capitalism is like a cancer that invades, infects and destroys everything it touches. When you think it about the definitions for successful capitalism and cancer are exactly the same … runaway, unrestricted and unlimited growth is the goal.
I agree because that is the main reason why they became such a powerful empire … but if they had entered into the modern industrial age with their military and even into the technological age … they probably wouldn’t look or act any differently than the modern US
To be fair … if the Roman Empire had their hands on a modern technological military industrial complex and nuclear weapons, they probably would have blown up Germania and died in the nuclear winter a lot faster than what we’re doing now.
Depends on who had the largest marketing and advertising budget and the overall support of corporate America, who coincidentally also control the private media and basically regulate the messaging of everyone’s political campaign.
Negotiations? … but what about the military industrial complex? Won’t someone think of the military industrial complex? YOU MONSTERS!!
I think in WWIII in about ten years time, one major front of the war will be the Open Sourcers fighting against the Corporatists … it won’t matter what country anyone is for or against, it will just be a fight for human independence.
Give the fight about a hundred years and it will lead to something that looks like the Matrix and no one will remember why the fight started but we slow humans will be fighting an unwinnable war against computers and machines … and the reality won’t be as heroic or hopeful as the movies.
Did they eat lunch? … or are they lunch?
