So does much of Europe. As oligarchs hoard wealth and the mob are increasingly hungry, poor and angry, the right wing will leverage dissatisfaction and come to power on the wings of lies.

It was ever thus, right back through recorded history. This is how Rome fell. This is how America will fall. Europe will hold another decade, I think. By then we may well be fighting.

I’m just sitting here in Europe munching popcorn right now.

Hopefully my kids wont die in Greenland fighting the American Nazi aggression but it’s a looming possibility, for sure.

I moved here and took a break from Reddit for a year after the whole API thing.

Recently been dipping my toe back in the water, lurking only.

It is noticeable that a lot of posts are obviously bot accounts trying to spur debate on contentious topics. And in general, it’s a sad echo of the community it used to be.

Nice.

Now print yourself a cable management solution, Jesus!

I actually stopped my subscription to Wired recently because the damn site never recognises me and login does not seem to support autofill or biometrics. Really pissed me off.

Anyway, the gist of this article is the companies are spending money on building AI and sacking people to save that money

What an amazing read.

My god, this is a masterful piece of writing.

“Make the situation more of a commitment”

Amazing.

Much of the North and Wales are still not very diverse Part of what you were experiencing is the fact that you really do stand out.

Bristol is not so very far away from you, and it’s a very cosmopolitan city… No one there will give a fuck I do assure you.

Yeah, no shit

Not now perhaps, but then it was. To me. I’d not pay them a farthing now.

100% I did pay for the premium version of Apollo and I absolutely would have paid about £20 a month for access.

It was the #1 most used app on all my devices.

Ok this is an amazing analogy, thank you.

This is a great answer, thanks!
