Middle-class Americans are selling their plasma to make ends meet
Last year, people in the U.S. made an estimated $4.7 billion selling their plasma. Donation centers are popping up in middle-class neighborhoods, including suburban strip malls and college towns.

These specific kids (relative term, observing from my 60s) are not alright.
When they get to my age, will they realize that at your funeral, no one is gonna say "I'm really gonna miss his code/agents"?
Just a cog spinning to its own extinction.

Ah yes artists, famously undedicated to their work, never obsessive, who don’t understand {checks notes} creating things.
This shit right here is why people hate you AI assholes. Myopic and arrogant.
You’re not creating or iterating anything? You literally invented a soulless box to do it for you.

My main opinion on Graham Platner is if there was a 41 year old guy running in the Republican primary for the Maine Senate seat and it turned out that he had a Nazi tattoo for 15 years and then he claimed that he just didn't know it was a Nazi tattoo, none of you would ever stop screaming about it.

One of the great myths of our society is that really rich people are rich because they are smart.
They are not rich because they are smart.
They are rich because are broken. Because nothing matters more to them than hording wealth. Because they lack morality, empathy, and social responsibility.
