spendy culture in general is disconnected from reality

be advised that these programs are often co-opted by local officials to boost numbers and reduce actual available services to incarcerated populations, or to deflect blame for employee drug smuggling

your experience will vary depending on the county

its wise to partner with an existing, experienced program first to learn the field a bit and avoid the pitfalls counties lay for beginners

for example, many counties will use bureaucratic expense approval hurdles or materials clearance and transportation hurdles to slow down and exhaust your efforts, but there are people with the specific experience and networks to navigate that stuff already in some cases

AI doesn’t have “its own sake.” The LLM boom has very little in common with “AI” as you described. The product called ai doesn’t live up to a utopian sci-fi fantasy because we do not live in a sci-fi utopia and fantasies are not real.

it isn’t about surprise silly goose its about moving the interaction from a suspected unknown to a known interaction in our collective threat models

silly goose

USA today is a rightwing propaganda rag and this is rightwing propaganda

“my peers aren’t country club conservatives” shut the fuck up you are literally writing for the largest syndicated colonial newspaper network

let’s ask Americans about the 2 million people they have incarcerated domestically next

gang what if the volk are bad actually??

Yes that’s the specific reason they give. They’re fascists though, ultimately they just like finding excuses to throw away mail, so you don’t give them any.

propaganda like this is so fucking sad

colonizers don’t have anything to value in their culture and they don’t have a future so they want to rip on people who aren’t buying their garbage

This is what I was also going to advise! Pick a couple of styles to emulate for a purpose and use them. In my 20s I picked up block print so I could write to my buddies in the armed forces without the censors throwing my stuff away. It also comes in handy for whiteboarding at work. If you are into game design, maybe pick a style from one of the D&D dungeon illustrations and it might come in handy for your purposes?

why do lib magazines write about nation-states and regimes as though they are MCU characters who quip at each other

it kind of reminds me of the way american pastors will talk about their weird god like he’s a Black Adam starring The Rock, blasting through their enemies in their fantasy sermons

that seems bad

their podcast diet usually

keep a rag bag handy and just wipe up cooking grease with those, them throw them in a pile next to the wood stove

you end up needing the oily rags to wipe down the wood stove anyway or else it will rust

a liberal arts education isn’t applicable to being a detention center guard or retirement home laundry operator

college education isn’t for the kind of shithole the colonies have become

“and america could be next!” they literally have domestic concentration camps in america there is no freedom there

sure Fritz i think you can just chalk this up to moral and political differences

So you read the paragraph about how she was a high ranking imperial officer during the war on Iraq

why would a “brilliant” person be working as an imperial officer at an imperial finishing school

it’s just long knives, you don’t have to act like the imperials just now realizing they aren’t immune are cool

it’s just a crappy and lazy image regardless of origins, but the fact it is AI makes it crappier
