Worked manual jobs (assembly line) right out of highschool (well fast food during highschool too), and absolutely hated how boring it was to me. I'm not a social person, and used to have really bad social anxiety. I've always had an interest in computers, for whatever reason, so after a few years of manual labor, decided to go to college for that. Also, I lived in a very depressed area, and the jobs I had were very low paying, to the point I couldn't afford to move out from my parents, so something had to change.

Anyways, I made the right choice, because I'm pretty good at what I do, and I love encountering and solving difficult problems.

While in college, I did work at a metal fab shop for a summer, and I could've totally seen myself doing that as well. It wasn't mind-numbing like assembly line work, did involve problem solving, and the tools and machines were "cool."

I'm unfamiliar with that delivery uniform, maybe it's another country's postal service, but the USPS has had a kind of "higher purpose" associated with it. E.g.

The Postal Service shall have as its basic function the obligation to provide postal services to bind the Nation together through the personal, educational, literary, and business correspondence of the people. It shall provide prompt, reliable, and efficient services to patrons in all areas and shall render postal services to all communities.

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.

There's a lot of very attractive older women though. Arguably more attractive, imo. Not that I really care who DeCaprio dates as long as they're adults; it's just kind of weird and funny he only dates women under 25.

Too busy becoming the top-ranked Diablo player.

Cyberpunk 2077 is probably still one of the most demanding.

Oldest I got is limited to 16GB (excluding rPis). My main desktop is limited to 32GB which is annoying, because I sometimes need more. But, I have a home server with 128GB of RAM that I can use when it's not doing other stuff. I once needed more than 128GB of RAM (to run optimizations on a large ONNX model, iirc), so had to spin up an EC2 instance with 512GB of RAM.

Idk about this specific case, but it's probably targeted on demographics. Mail-in votes tend to swing Democrat. People without ID tend to be poor minorities who swing Democrat. Urban areas swing Democrat. The parties put tons of research into profiling demographics, so they can supress votes and do stuff like this.

He praised X, a competitor, in his video announcement. I guess Musk was right. "Zuck is a cuck."

Yeah, that's what I've been thinking since his speech. I'm thinking the people he's surrounded with are encouraging his non-sensical ramblings so they can replace him with Vance, who is a Thiel/billionaire puppet, and likely more predictable and reliable than Trump.

I think the ultra wealthy and powerful understand that revolution becomes more likely as the majority's material conditions declines, so their endgame is to throw just enough crumbs to the majority so that they don't want to risk losing those crumbs. Many of today's ultra wealthy and powerful seem exceptionally out of touch with reality and dumb though, so idk. Some are accelerationists (i.e. e/acc), and purposely avoid taking into account possible negative consequences.

Heard someone (I think that Shark Tank dumbass) already mention instituting some kind of "AI mandate" on healthcare. Musk will probably destroy OpenAI, because he seems to have a vendetta against them.
