There is has been a long campaign to make Americans dumber. Easier to control and more perceptive to propaganda.

Look at the state of the education system. This happened not by chance but by design.

Amazon search was never good, but it was not a problem before it got flooded with cheap Chinese crap.

The cheap Chinese crap makes Amazon worse, which results in loss of customers, which frightens the Shareholders (line has to go up), to increase the profit the management milks their cash cow (AKA cheap Chinese crap sellers) so more Chinese crap is in the site. The circle of life.

You, my friend, have to read up on super PACs

Oh, we could probably create giant trees with selective breeding and gene editing. But those trees would still need hundreds of years to grow (and that's a good thing, since it would store CO2 while growing) and if there are problems with the gene editing we would only notice after decades.

I miss LAN parties... Duke Nukem 3D, Doom, CS, Diablo, Alien vs Predator 2, Quake and the successors of those games. Good times. Online is nice and all, but nothing compares to playing the night away with friends in one room

This opening move is called "The Russian Statesman". Very traditional.

Oh yes. The company where I work at does these performance reviews: doing 100% gives you a 'C' (as a grade). I do everything that is expected from me without anything to complain about? Yeah, that's not good enough.

Fuck that.

There is the silent complaint that you could do more... Give up your spare time for your work. Work yourself tired and burn out for your company! That's what they want to see.

I'm looking for a new job while I still work there.

AI is a tool that makes us X% more productive (X is still debatable and bound to change)

But instead of making our job X% easier or let us earn X% more, work X% less, corporations are hellbent to fire X% of the workforce because that makes the most money.

It's simple: Germany always does what Israel wants.

You know, because of our history.

There are many people (especially the older generation) who think we as Germans can't say anything bad about Israel no matter what they do.
