To those apologizing for being tricked into supporting #Fetterman in the 2022 Senator primary:
No apology necessary. Per the saying, “fool me once, shame on you.” There was no indication he’d go MAGA back in 2022. The shame is on Fetterman for misrepresenting himself.
The second part, “fool me twice, shame on me” applies when you had ample warning. Example: 3x Turnip voters upset their non-citizen spouses are deported.

Is it too late for someone early 50s to decide they want to abandon their data analytics career (BA, MS, 30 years experience), and start a new path studying television academically? Uh, asking for a friend.
Incidentally, what would be a good title for a thesis studying the left-at-the-altar trope, and how and why it appears much more frequently in sitcoms than in real life, and maybe explore some sociological intersections with that?

Realistically, I may never get around to writing anything more about this than what I have here. I'd be delighted if someone takes this idea and writes a story around it. If you do, I'd appreciate a hat tip, and please tag me so I can read it!

At some point, the teenager remembers a friend who tinkers with old electronic gadgets. When he visits, the friend reveals an ancient computer he's repaired and is working on getting it to do something. What stuns the protagonist is when he shows him some of the ancient books that clearly state that humans made the computers.
At some point, the protagonist realizes that his brain is starting to entertain heretical thoughts... the computers were created by humans to serve humans.

As background, humankind's skills have deteriorated so much that they don't know how to do things like basic medicine independent of a computer to tell them how to do it. Doctors as we know them, with the ability to diagnose disease and decide upon a course of treatment, don't exist.

I had this interesting idea for a short story this morning. It starts with a "senile" old man in a retirement home telling a teenaged volunteer that "they (the silicons) once served us". The teenaged protagonist goes through a journey of discovery, asking questions like "why would they serve us when clearly the silicons created us." "We can't even have a baby without silicons to guide us." "Nobody I know has any idea how to make a computer."

Who was the jack hole who thought 10 AM on a Tuesday was the right time to silently start installing a Teams update? Like, no. That's when meetings are happening.
Don't make a tool mission-critical, then think you can take it down at the moment when it is most needed.

A great way to boost your token use is to reply to any answer and ask it to explain in detail. It’s completely defendable as a way to understand what it is telling you, to help you determine if it’s based on reality, to see if there’s anything salvageable in the web of bullshit it heaped up for your review.

RE: https://mastodon.online/@davidaugust/116524462187963129
I took a symposium ~18 years ago on partisan divide in the USA. One issue I researched & presented was that conservatives had billboards all over town, but progressives did not. Why?
My explanation was that conservative positions could typically be reduced to a bumper-sticker slogan, while progressive positions typically involve nuance and reason, which doesn't translate well to a billboard.
"Ballroom Republicans" is a great billboard-length slogan.
