      Sex is a psyop invented by the government to pressure neoliberals into suicide.

      I sometimes wonder why I ever bother defending other Indians online, especially first-gen Indian immigrants from the northern part of India, when there are so many online who relentlessly shit on my Indian ethnicity like this. Just so, so tired of experiencing a massive tidal wave of racial abuse from them tbh

      I’m not going to stop defending them because it is in my best interest to do so since I am ethnically Indian too and the haters don’t distinguish between us, but still

      I imagine some people give positive reinforcement to their llms. I just tell mine it sucks all the time. Hopefully either way works.

      This is one of the worst DTs we’ve ever seen, from the standpoint of comments.

      > Today in my American Government class we were going over the anatomy of the U.S. Constitution. We defined each of the Articles, the Preamble and the process of Ratification. It’s one of the driest parts of this class and frankly I welcome tangents and distractions so we can get a more in-depth discussion going. One of my students latched onto the phrase “promote the general Welfare” and wanted to investigate the idea more. I was all for this, and asked the students what ‘welfare’ meant in their minds. I’m in a Title 1 school (a large percentage of students qualify for free or reduced lunch because their families are low-income) so the concept of a government stipend was familiar to many in the class. I asked if they could think of other instances of the Government providing direct support to people. Some students remembered the Stimulus checks during COVID, others brought up social security. I added these to the board as examples, and intended to go broader, but then a student asked why Social Security was needed if people could have retirement accounts.

      > I brought up the historical basis for Social Security, how aging used to be a near-guarantee of poverty, and how even today it’s hard to build up enough to retire while you are young. At this, one student said ‘That’s cap, it ain’t hard to make money when you’re young.’

      > I assured him that for many people it is hard, that lots of young adults in their prime are having a difficult time saving or investing for retirement. He said ‘I don’t have to listen to you no more, what you said is fake.’ He then put on his headphones (not allowed in school) and tuned me out.

      Imagine being the face for a technology you hype as possibly killing us all or maybe merely put the majority out of work and living somewhere that’s not Molotov proof.

      If Dems win big in 2028 (like a filibuster proof majority somehow, idk, or they can convince libertarian Republican to cross the aisle) then I really want them to pass a massive data protection bill. Do a better GDR. Don’t make it so legalistic that it stifles companies, but also i don’t my neighbors camera feeding an AI that causes my health insurance to sue me cause I took an ibuprofen and took out the trash and didn’t walk in a “injured fashion”
