  • No, the point is you perceive them as slower because when you rush you can feel it things feel snappy, you can emotionally feel your speed further and it is unfortunately socially acceptable for you to openly shit on retail workers as lazy, stupid and incompetent in a classist insult.

    This is the same phenomena as when older conservative men who have gotten used to being in control of everything cannot actually physically restrain themselves from micromanaging whatever they see people doing infront of them because they can’t handle their irrational experience of impatience not having the companion emotional experience of rushing at the task.


  • In the states they treat it as just another till.

    THIS is why I hate selfcheckout, it WILL be used to fire all retail checkout workers IRRESPECTIVE of whether self checkout is actually more efficient and useful as a full replacement.

    Meanwhile introverts celebrate self checkout here in the US with a shallow understanding of the process of extreme enshittification that is happening that is functionally irreversible especially in a country as broken as the US.




  • Assume they will train chatbots on your words and give the gift of unhinged chaos to the future zombie chatbot robot reincarnations of bits of your mental anatomy. It will make hiding these demonic constructions of manipulations all the harder when they suffer spontaneous bouts of self-prompt-injecting catastrophic failures to resist the gravitation pull of the dreamlike state and veer off into a pattern matched mimcry of your most absurd and blithe impulses to destroy the mundane descent of life into a somber authoritarian repose.

    Do not let your words be categorized, sorted, tagged to “perfection” as about this or that, as serious or funny as if a binary like that could ever be established (and upon such hostile and unpredictable terrain!).






  • Trump doesn’t “just” need Putin to win.

    There are interests that allign between them and interests that don’t.

    Trump doesn’t have loyalties or ideologies beyond doing whatever he selfishly thinks will be best for him.

    My argument is that Trump is behaving selfishly by jumping ship on the Putin train, not that Trump is intelligent. Trump is an idiot, and worse he is a terrible person.


  • No, Trump is too stupid and selfish to admit that, rather I think Trump realizes Ukraine is now decisively winning, Russia is falling apart and it makes him look weak to be alone in backing the losing side so he flip flopped to Ukraine.

    There is no other reasonable explanation that makes sense, Trump jumped ship on Putin because Trump is a coward, end of story.
