This is why you have no ads

So the colea notes is in the old world DB was how it was setup. You paid company a set amt of money and they set you up with x dollars a month for the rest of your life.

Fine when boomers are a massive cohort propping it up via sheer volume alone with people dying younger.

We started living longer and surprise future cohorts are not massive like the boomers. That means the model of DB is not economically feasible. Around the world from left and right countries you are seeing this. Public pensions are being rewritten and people are rightly angry but you cannot sustain the model.

This is why the collective move to DC specifically when it comes to newer employees. What you get is tied to what you put in.

Granted my parents are poor and have no pension but no, I don’t want their pension i didn’t earn it.

If you meant having similar structure pensions as in defined benefit vs. defined contribution you’re damn right but they’re not fucking sustainable and that’s why we are in such a mess. To make our parents or grandparents pensions sustainable requires a hell of a lot more investment in them and/or shareholder greed to fuck off and companies re-prioritize their wealth accordingly.

Both of those solutions are a big LOL.

The melding of the audio and visual on a high art concept album is just chefs kiss. Everything she does is just genuine Christ she’s on Twitch now and just a blast to watch. Genuine creative people are amazing to watch.

His first few albums really are seminal. If you’re a HHH there really is no comparison to them.

If this makes sense, there’s a feeling of old outlaw country in those albums and the stories he tells.

My girlfriend 😏

Of course! I’m GenX and I use it at work and home as well for a variety of purposes but do I **need ** it? Does anyone **need ** it?

I was taking my kids to the dentist yesterday and was listening to the radio with them.

It’s anecdotal and a small sample size but the only people talking about AI are journalists and money men.

I work in IT and the consensus is it is a valuable tool but it really isn’t taking anyone’s job.

For my kids and those their age and younger (15) the consensus is AI can fuck off and it’s responsible for polluting their social media with crap.

Tl;Dr - the only people pushing AI are the money men and the policy makers. No one wants this.

Anecdotal but my ignorant ass has had conversations with my friends that “so god if I find out my son is gay I will love him but please for the love of God let him pitch.”

What actually is consent? /s

I feel dirty even joking that’s a possibility

To crush my enemies. See them driven before me, and hear the lamentations of their women.

Please take this for the dark joke it is but as someone who has been in Corporate IT for 25 years, congrats on losing your job!

When you die and reach the pearly gates is God really gonna be like “yeah I see you missed your kids soccer games but man in 2024 you really got those deliverables done for your work!”

I’m thankfully OoL enough but I guarantee there are some AI backed crypto out there which is so deliciously awesome given the double down on smoke and mirrors.

Seriously the stock market can remain irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

People are idiots.

Is there a consensus there’s an AI bubble? Sure?

Can anyone predict what will happen? LOfuckingL

I’m in the socialist hellhole Canada and my day is spent chasing away genderfluid canvassers trying to convert me and my kids to they/them and then when my kids get to school they’re forced to have group sex led by cross dressers!

/s and really sad the state of the world I have to put that

Unexpected factorials!

I have been the perpetrator of dicks on faces but never had done. However a buddy did fill a 2 litre bottle with his piss and put it under my pillow while I slept once. That was just gross.

And the majority of Americans:

A. Openly wanted this

B. Didn’t care enough to view it happening as a problem

C. Didn’t think it would happen?

FML
