Oh. Surprising!

I can relate to claude.

But not sure if it meant the same type of revolution

It is a downward spiral. Worry, loss, wory, loss, worry andvmore loss.

Loss of future perspectives, worry over basic needs, losd of health, worry over future of kids, loss of mental health, worry over wars, etc.

Top 10 countries of origin for non native Americans which are like 99% of America today:

Top ten countries of origin for Americans (non-native)

1. Germany ~14% 4–7 generations ago
2. Africa (Sub-S) ~12% 8–15 generations ago (enslaved)
3. Mexico ~11% 1–5 generations ago
4. Ireland ~10% 4–7 generations ago
5. England ~8% 8–15 generations ago
6. Italy ~5.5% 4–5 generations ago
7. Poland ~3% 4–5 generations ago
8. France ~2.6% 6–14 generations ago
9. Scotland ~1.9% 5–10 generations ago
10. Norway ~1.4% 4–7 generations ago

(1 generation ≈ 25 years. Based on US Census self-reported ancestry.)

Those meager few generations don’t do anything for defining a specific look. Americans are genetically just everything thrown together while pretending to be “established”.

And these are just top ten. Look at how many percent are still open to be filled with a large number of small percentage origins…

Yea, that I can agree on too.

Changing established characters from something people already identify with breaks that connection and result in anger for obvious reasons.

People like you are the reason why I specifically chose the words: “Any too obviously genetically impossible traits”

Americans and brits do not look clearly different. Similar enough.

But you must have skipped that part of what I wrote or have just jumped to a knee-jerk answer after the first words?

Also: americans are a nation of immigrants. Except the few native Americans, so they can be realistically be played by a wild mix.

I don’t agree.

In most modern movies it doesn’t matter because they are full of random stuff anyway. Multiverses, magic, history that never happened, and so on.

But if they were to make a movie about an african tribe of the 1800s based on real events I wouldn’t be able to take that movie seriously if half or all of them had pinkish-beige skin or any too obviously genetically impossible traits for the geological area and time the movie plays in.

Immersion sometimes also means accuracy.

Any knee-jerk blanket statements like yours are bad. Not as bad as the racist people who just want to find dumb reasons to exclude actors with skin colors darker than theirs, but still just not very smart.

Which is true for many here.

People really need to find the sweet spots between extremes, sheesh.

Rather, the trick is to figure out what is important for you individually and learn to not care for the opinions of others thst go past factual decision making information.

I really hope you can see the difference between a tech company hire and dudes on the streets playing SS

You do know that meta doesn’t only have high level jobs, right? There cannot just be middle managers everywhere without the bog standard workers.

What kind of perception do you have of tech giants? That all who work there are some kind of imaginary elite?

You do realize that the problem is that people need money? Yea, many would likely have a choice where to work but many might Not have had options.

What is needed is financial basic freedom for everyone. Countries need to sit down and figure out how to make it work because as it stands, jobs have turned into a form of slavery by design.

At this point I wish for every mega Corp to die before they turn even more into tge cyberpunk dystopia visions of 80s movies.

So much greed.

No wonder most of us give a fuck about our company. Why should I care if I am nothing more than a number that is unfortunately not a robot.

Working could be to just create something good and do so in a community with like minded people. And if it earns enough money to pay everyone’s comfortable life needs then that is enough.

That they constantly force growth is just the most toxic bullshit imaginable.

No idea why I was so drunk. I had only one glass!

I really do see the issue with AI. I see people around me outsource thinking to it too much. Like literally. As if they are happy that a machine can make their life choices for them. This is extremely worrying It’s About how people use it

That’s the best answer he gave. Based on the limited, implication based knowledge we have of this conversation we don’t even know is real or staged.

Hey. It’s not necessarily a fascist thing!

Could also be an oppressive dictatorship!

I sure hope some good quality manufacturers jump in and fill the consumer need for dumb tech cars and everything else that can be “smart”

These days any AI or Smart feature just makes any product far less interesting to me

True. I was too lazy to differentiate it and check what “Sozialabgaben” is in English.

German here. It’s all paid by my social contribution aside taxes. And when I go to the doctor I pay nothing, no matter what I have as long as its not a vanity issue.

If I want something unnecessary done I would have to pay myself. But injuries or illnesses are always fully covered.

Same for teeth, but there are bigger quality differences. Paying extra there for some actions taken is common.
