How do you even misspell things, when every device you have has spell check and autocorrects you?

Auto Correct causes me a lot of grief tbh
I hate autocorrect, but I at least still have spellcheck with it's funny lil red lines.
Ain’t that the ducking truth.
'Mericocracy
Heh,
Cock
She has, uh, other qualifications.
Assets bro
go watch idiocracy again. and again. i think they were on to something.
To be fair thats a hard to spell word but im not steering a country of 340 million people so i get to spell it wrong.
Did she have the squiggly line turned off or did she ignore it?
If the US was actually a meritocracy, I’d be rich. I built my career in comp sci and UXD from nothing. I left school in 9th grade then taught myself programming in multiple languages – BASIC then Perl, Java, C, and on to C++, C#, ObjC, JavaScript, and markup languages, – and UXD including related important fields (psychology, sociology, philosophy), and worked my way from a delivery driver to cook, to assistant mgr in retail and restaurant to manager (to make ends meet whilst learning) to programmer, to assistant lead, to PM assistant, to project manager, to designer, to lead designer at a company where I had more than 10 million users and was submitted for an Apple design award for my design.
Then I got sick with a genetic disease for which there’s no treatment or cure. Now I can no longer work and as a result, I am destitute, my savings are gone, and I have nothing but social security and Medicare, which is horribly broken. I can’t afford housing, and have to choose between medicine and food.
This is in the US, obviously. I have plenty more to contribute – my mind still works fine – but I can’t contribute in this system because I can’t reliably work.
I am fucked. I can’t afford to live anymore and, regardless of what I could contribute in a system that might allow me to, I am stuck doing nothing and slowly dying because this system is designed to fuck me as hard as possible.
This is not a meritocracy. If it was, I would not be in the position of choosing whether to eat or buy medicine.
e2: and we wouldn’t have a complete moron making billions by stealing the work of others (people like me) then just casting them aside like they’re nothing. Yes, I mean that absolute shitbag poser, you all know his name.
Sorry for all the edits, this pisses me off.
e: I also wrote a scifi novel that I can’t market because I’ve been too sick. Because I’m so desperate, I’m going to mention it here – I could use a couple of reviews. Based on current reviews, it’s not bad: Blue Are the Hills by Lilly Piper on Amazon, if you’re into dystopian fiction. I’ve tried to market myself as much as I can, but it’s hard. That’s why my Lemmy icon is my face – not because I’m a boomer, but because it’s my branding.
I resonate quite a bit with this, I just had to take a demotion because of a long term medical condition renders me unable to return to office 3 days a week. I was doing a great job as a Solutions Architect, but since they feel that the role is only good in person and not over technology I had to step down to a senior developer role. Hopefully I overcome this condition but it is lifelong but can be managed, but this feels like the first gate I've been hit with since starting to ascend as an IT Professional. RTO is dumb, especially with potential pandemics on the horizon. My wife is complete and total disabled and barely makes it out of our room, so I'm on the hook to bring home the money to keep everything running. It is frightening times in this shit show.
I hope it works out, I hope you keep going as best a you can. I've been stuck in a health crisis for years and everytime I think I'm almost out I remember that recovery is for the rest of my life. I don't know why our society discards people who desperately WANT to be of use and I saw it a lot in retail too, there's a lot of people I kept around in the backroom working just because I can't imagine looking at someone in a part time minimum wage dead end job and saying ''This isn't working out, please leave'' that's already the bottom. I'm not telling people to start living in their car.
We need to stop being in shock and awe at how stupid these people are and start understanding that they are our enemies. They work in direct opposition to the welfare of average Americans. They're also stupid. But more importantly, they are our enemies, and we need to start framing it as such.
Intelligence and Cunning are two different things.
If I'm walking through the woods and I'm being stalked by a predator the fact that it cant do long division doesnt matter for shit.
I mean, depending on the predator it can probably divide you lengthwise. Does that count?

What's even fucking worse is that we live in an era of autocorrect and autofill.
"Corespondent" is a word, though. It just has a totally different meaning.

One of the top people they've appointed to OPM, (yes that OPM sending scam resignation deals to civil servants), graduated high school in 2024.
When they say Meritocracy they mean Aristocracy.
Local radio fired their news department and brought in cheap new talent.
Last night they mispromounced Potomac and i shook my head.
But a few weeks ago when the news reader mispronounced Orwellian, a canary died somewhere.

There are certain things which are required of those who wish to serve in the Trump Administration. None of those things happen to be intelligence.

Going for some Ivanka resemblance, perhaps?
This journalist is going to have the nuclear codes in the tabloids before long.

These people don't deserve to breath the same air we breath. If you can't see everyone as equal then you are beneath us and need to be dealt with in the most severe method possible.
f you can’t see everyone as equal then you are beneath us and need to be dealt with in the most severe method possible.
Does that mean you need to be dealt with in the most severe method possible, after all if you see them as beneath you then you clearly can't see everyone as equal, by definition?
There is no requirement to be tolerate the intolerant.
I don't know where I got it from, but I like the quote "See that tree? Go apologise for wasting the oxygen it produces."
