It makes the existing situation worse for Trump. It could be the straw that breaks the camel’s back or another scandal to add to the pile.

Close enough. Which is why I think having a “purpose” is bullshit.

How do you want to define yourself? Who do you want to be a decade from now? Do you have goals?

If you can start to define your future self, you can define your present self as trying to target your future self. You can also change your definitions over time; after all you choose them.

I don’t have a meaning currently. The meaning that I was created for stopped being a thing since I was 3.

Social media companies created algorithms to allow people to find content without having to look for it. This drove users and content creators to their sites and off the web.

For social media companies, a user’s value comes from having an account, so they have a vested interest in locking away content.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

I don’t know. A lot of us here are autistic.

Depends on the features.

We’ve already see baseball start to respond to some of the problems you listed, but I see it continuing to be a major issue for most leagues as the teams have got caught up in the asset appreciation seen in other kinds of assets.

We don’t really know. I expect things to degrade until we hit a constitutional crisis of some form.

In the workforce?

The value of my work is that what it produces is correct. AI hallucinates way too much to provide anything of use that would save time at work.

My value is creating things that are correct, not just creating things.

Some people like spreadsheet sims.

The game series also mixed in a lot of mafia movie vibes and satire.

Then Rockstar realized you can release a lot less content by pushing online gameplay, stopping the release of single player content.

That sounds good.
