my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

Germany gets 60% of its power from renewables and is shutting down its coal plants. No blackouts. No high bills. Every right wing lie about renewables has been proven false.

The more people who are denied care and left to die, the more profitable it is for health insurance companies.
Your reminder that for-profit healthcare isn't healthcare.
It's an exploitation of sick people and transfer of wealth from the working class to the mega-rich.

i keep seeing people say that LLMs are good at search.
NO. WRONG.
You have just forgotten how good search used to be.
Google broke it's own flagship product, and so you are accepting a demented chatbot's half baked gishgallop because we no longer have functional web search.

I visited this place today for the first time and was so stoked to see it! The selection of indie and small press ttrpgs was well represented which was a thrill to see!
Today is the day! Possum Punks comics and games is now open at the Rust Belt Market!
And to celebrate I'm offering 25% off a bunch of select titles all weekend. Hurry over! You can't even tell how tired I am!
