I think a big reason why tech people keep Inventing the Torment Nexus so to speak is that the people who are most influential on the overall attitudes and goals of the tech business are not actually programmers or engineers, they're philosophers who have read a lot of science fiction and think that makes them qualified to speak on programming and engineering from a birds-eye long-term perspective. The entire transhumanist/rationalist world revolves around assuming that a bunch of shit from scifi will inevitably come true and that our goal as a species should be to make sure all this dystopian sci-fi bullshit is as beneficial (in the capitalistic sense of that word) as possible. No one cares about solving actual problems facing real people in the present day because they're only concerned with future problems caused by fictional technologies that will probably never actually exist.

So I used to have a Russian friend who had a pretty thick accent and like a lot of Russians tended to eschew articles. She would say things like “Get in car.” And stuff.
Well one day this asshole who had been kind of tagging along with us asks her why she talks like that because it makes her sound dumb and I still remember her response word for word.
“Me? Dumb? Maybe in America you have to say get in THE car because you are so stupid that people might just get in random car, but in Russia we don’t need to say that. We just fucking know because we are not stupid.”
I know this site is so painfully western and I know caring about every issue in the world is very fatigue inducing, I just wish that argument wasn't always used when non-western countries ask for help and recognition where western issues are always so prominent they spike worldwide memes which take up everyone's attention.
Before it gets out of hand once again like it did back when we were protesting against Vučić for lying about the COVID epidemic (he called it the dumbest most harmless virus ever and immediately after he got elected inflicted a lockdown and blamed the people for being careless which in turn spiked protests to take him down for lying), right about now there are massive protests against him and his criminal regime regarding the Canopy that fell in Novi Sad that ultimately killed 15 people (there are most likely more). I'm writing this to tell everyone before it's too late. When we were protesting to take him down during the epidemic we did so because his lies killed people, but the narrative he spread to the rest of the world is that we were protesting against the lockdown itself, which has never been true, it was against him manipulating and literally gasighting the entirety of this country. Right now we're protesting once again because his lies killed people, this time even more directly. The reconstructed Canopy was one of his many money laundering projects, reconstructing something with cheaper equipment so that all the money goes into his pockets, and when something disastrous happens they blame it on outdated construction and, their favorite argument, the "Opposition" (my grandparents specifically love this one, they buy all of it). In this instance they said the Canopy fell due to age, but they reconstructed it not long ago. After this happened they went on to erase any and all evidence of the Canopy being renovated, but people aren't stupid, they use the rail station regularly, they would see and know it was renovated.
Enough is enough and faculty students all across the country are getting on the streets to protest the incident and many more of his money laundering projects in the works, theater actors are heavily joining in, farmers are backing them up and also protesting against the Rio Tinto Lithium Mine project that's being pushed by Western Countries. Now mind you he's from the same regime from the 1990's when Slobodan Milošević was president who's leadership spiked the biggest protests of this country. Because he's a lying dictator he has complete control over how this narrative is shared not just within Serbia but to the rest of the world. Before Western Media twists the narrative again to also push the Rio Tinto Lithium mine further, I want everyone that reads this to remember this: The students protesting aren't paid to do this from the Opposition like they are being accused, the President doesn't "care more about the victims than angry protestors" like he claims, he is a heavy HEAVY criminal like his whole regime and all of this is so scary to be happening once again.
The Novi Sad Canopy incident was the straw that broke the camels back, enough is enough. Please support us the best you can by not buying into propaganda, we're protesting against his criminal regime and nothing else, just like how we did back in 1990's with Slobodan (the US happily took this opportunity to bomb us so all of this happening again with the same regime is so scary). Please don't ignore this, if something ever happens to us again due to Western Powers meddling I want everyone to know the root cause.
The West avoids us like a plague, that is, until they have something to blame on us for their personal interest.
I hate hbo max. I hate Disney +. I hate Amazon prime. I hate streaming platforms that treat their staff and creators like donkey shit. I hate that they don’t compensate for rewatches or popularity and can’t even take out the fucking commercials. I hate our monthly fees for media that can just be put in the vault and written off as if it never existed. I hate our reliance on mega corporations for our daily serotonin. I want weekly shows where I can theorize with my friends. I want dvds to be popular again. I want no commercials and for my favorite creators to be paid to imagine a better world than this.
this is what happened right
A day where everyone's happy and nothing happened and they're all just being funky little teens in the human realm🥲
