I think you are right. Its just sad but it is true.

Americans dont really know how to judge a persons character… Look at the choices for the last few decades… They have all been horrible people, except maybe Joe Biden who was unable to function instead.

Yes, Jon seems like a good person but I dont think good people are attracted to career politics. Its for the snakes and the lizards.

But yeah, he would be a good fit if he wanted to sacrifice his happiness for that role. I think he is way too smart for that.

I think we are wasting our lives to a certain degree. As kids, we expected more from life than sitting in front of a computer to feed the family. And sitting at a computer is seen as one of the “good” jobs.

I agree, but people dont like to hear that.

There is always the possibility that we are wrong also.

I also dont watch news and havent for a decade. Its not like im missing something important, since I get to hear about anything actually important anyway. It would be hard to miss things like covid where we actually need to take action. Even here on Lemmy, people seem to be discussing a lot of current events in the news, so… Dont need to watch TV news.

I dont know. Maybe ive been unlucky but “diversity” has meant a lot of people with very different personalities, which has meant that people dont become friends. Has it meant something different to you? Maybe for you its the other way, and you dont have anything incommon with the typical worker (whatever bro means in this context, maybe males and you are female?) , so you welcome more people like yourself.

Doesnt everyone actually want collegues that are as close to yourself in personality as possible so you feel you have common ground?

Life.

You clearly are not a “team player”. HR already has a plan for your life, all you have to do is follow their instructions and things are smooth.

Feeling unhappy? Deal with that outside of work, and make sure it dont affect your work.

If its one topic i really feel passionate about, its the entire anti-work thing. Because we are human beings. All of us work because we have to. And thats it.

You would understand if you understood the mindset of HR employees. To them, you are joining a life mission, not just a job. And they have a plan for your life so it fits the company objectives. Super great. Except no.

Yeah its shocking we are not incredibly grateful isnt it.

“Nobody wants to work”… :)

Sounds exactly like what we do at Lemmy.today.

That specific part you said, about letting users decide, is the core idea of the entire instance and has been from the start.

But check out all options before you decide. The Lemmy network needs many different instances to stay strong.

It doesnt matter if they reach any end result, as long as stocks go up and profits go up.

Consumers arent really asking for AI but its being used to push new hardware and make previous hardware feel old. Eventually everyone has AI on their phone, most of it unused.

It’s what we all loved about the internet I think, before the web become… “that” (looking at the pile of shit the web has become).

But actually it’s not the web, not really. It’s the big tech platforms that most people seem to think is the internet now. It’s sad to watch how people log on to “Facebook” and not the general web anymore. And then Google in front of everything, like a big cancer growth.

Lemmy is not the new internet either I believe. But it’s here to show people that something else can exist. As soon as we let advertising in here though, it’s over.

If beginner, use PopOS.

If Linux nerd, use Arch.

That’s my guide. I don’t like any other distros. :)
