A bit too “the card says moops” for you?

Everything you said is true.

So did he sexually assault his sister? She seems to think so.

He’s clearly from the “bad things have to happen bow, because I’m claiming they’ll lead to better things later” - which is the premise of every scam.

The Nigerian prince needs a fraction of his fortune now, so good things can happen later. Multi-level marketing only needs your initial sign up fee paid now, so you can be locked into ongoing costs later. Three card monty and heroin only need you to try your first taste so you can chase the horrible outcomes later.

The meme doesn’t say parents or boomers, it says Grandma.

Believing it can do Game Dev, but will for some reason stop at being able to transfer all those 3D modelling and animation abilities for VFX is a bit of a pipe dream. If it can model and animate characters and events in video games VFX tools will start dropping too.

…and did nothing to establish todays wide spread organizations, networks, ideas, and engagement. History doesn’t exist!

Hmmm… Cheese steak.

Ant good cheesy smells or did it all just smell of clean industrial stuff?

Generational war is a way to distract from class war, and a way to disconnect people from being inspired by the long HISTORY of class struggle.

The 8 hour day? Unions? The wellfare system (such as it is), maybe Grandma was on the picket lines for some of that too? Especially likely if she was poor.

There are labour activists and socialists in every generation.

I mean Microsoft is currently preferable to Google.

Microsoft:

Microsoft’s “biomimicry” program is reshaping the land around its data centers with restored wetlands and native gardens to help the buildings blend into local ecosystems at 20-plus sites, reports The Verge. Critics question the company’s motives after recent energy deals, such as a 20-year deal inked in June to buy power from a planned Chevron gas plant in West Texas. Public Citizen’s Texas director, Adrian Shelley, called the plan “basically lipstick on a pig.”

The Mount Pleasant site, home to Fairwater, which Microsoft calls the “world’s most powerful AI data center,” has 100 acres of prairie and forest in a Lamparek Creek restoration with the Root-Pike Watershed Initiative Network. Its executive director, Dave Giordano, told the outlet that Microsoft developed its stormwater ponds with forebays to retain sediment, one of a number of accommodations for the environment. “Not all data center companies are the same,” he said. It is a living example of the company’s answer to AI data center backlash.

Google:

As Finnish newspaper Kaleva reported last month, Google is under fire for clearing over 300 hectares — the equivalent of almost 500 football fields — for two new data centers in the northern part of the European nation without concluding the necessary environmental assessments.

Despite the assessments still being in progress, the tech giant’s contractors started clearing trees in the area months ago, raising the alarm bells at the Finnish Nature Conservation Association.

But it’s ultimately leverage for killing the planet and making a destructive technology seem acceptable. We’ve seen “industrial parks”. It’s a bandaid on a heart attack.

An insect house, with different sized holes/enclosures for various insects to try to live in.

Yes they embraced the revolutionary technology of cars, which enabled post-WW2 suburbia to boom, which established the economic base for the rest of industry to progress to what we have now.

…so do we blame them? Because if you blame them, then expect Gen Alpha to blame you for letting AI take hold.

With AI replacing the games and VFX industries, they’ll be lots more of this stuff going on I imagine.

Holodeck-like game dev will probably eventually be a thing… And I thought I’d be happy about that. But I’m not.

Hopefully the planet and the species will last long enough that we’ll laugh about Data Centers taking up huge buildings… And how toxic everything was back in 2026…

… hopefully we’ll survive long enough to see today like we now see the 1950s (with nuclear techniques) and earlier. But I just don’t think we’re improving the world.

…and Nuclear Power hasn’t really be that great either.

Say more.

Calling progressives Communists and Marxists started with Hitler. Even after the war it was carried on by Fascists. From Wikipedia:

Origins

The phrase “cultural Marxism” to mean a cultural attack from the left aimed at destroying society and installing Marxism/Bolshevism can be traced back to the 1930s, appearing in the 1938 July-September volume of “British Union Quarterly”, the journal of The British Union of Fascists.[11][12] The short essay claims the source of cultural Marxism is the “deracinated” nature of “city-dwelling”, and the “indiscriminate toleration-psychosis of liberalism, inherent in Social-Democracy”.[11][13]

It’s not pointed out enough that Conservatism is Cultural Fascism.
