    It’s why ~40% of Americans didn’t vote in 2024.

    Well, I’m sure that the first past the post voting system that created two giant parties pretending to each represent half the population, while in reality only representing slightly different billionaires, has something to do with that as well…

    Doing something you don’t like for yourself feels quite different from doing it for someone else, though.

    Most people who do something they don’t like for a living does that thing purely because it is the thing that makes some shareholder more money. All (or most of) the meaning has been sucked out, and that definitely has something to do with capitalism.

    Of course we’ll probably never get to the point where everyone loves every day of their job, but injecting some value (that isn’t purely monetary) back into work would do wonders, IMO.

    I think you’re wrong.

    The glasses are absolutely smudged, but that is from the image processing on the phone. Low light most smartphones try to reduce noise by smoothing the picture, often excessively.

    The text above the woman is not garbled nonsense, it says “<indecipherable> is biGGer”. The upper case G’s makes it look strange, but it is cohesive text.

    The shoes look to be another smoothing artifact.

    Damn… yeah those samples suggest ~6–8mg of plastic per gram of sample tissue in the brains from 2024 😟 That would be like 10 grams in an entire adult brain if the distribution is even.

    “Thankfully” it looks like the brain has the highest concentration of all studied organs 🙃
