The current Pepsi max podcast ad is a mangled aberration of copywriting with too many competing priorities

It is not that automation will destroy jobs as is commonly supposed but that a surplus of labour vs productive work will create niche systems of hierarchy and busywork to give everybody something to do
Replying to @krrishd
the idea that “bullshit jobs” are at the highest risk for automation is entirely backwards. a “bullshit job” is the only kind you don’t actually need done faster or better

Elon seems like quite an easy target to goad into doing something illegal or expensive and then make the money enforcing. Some people would say that’s how he came to buy twitter in fact

@houseoffraser hey my order for trousers has been sat with your courier evri since 31st December. Your chat bot tells me that I should wait to receive the order before returning “within 28 days of purchase”. But I don’t think it’s ever coming. Can you please refund me

You say I think we might have met, but squint as though you’re not sure. Then you say yes I remember we met at X
social grace q: if you meet someone (who's not famous but pretty popular) a 2nd time after e.g. a party and they introduce themselves like they don't remember u do u a. gently remind them right away you've met b. pretend you didn't c. introduce yourself and remind them later

When you put a coffee in the microwave and forget and about 20 mins later think ooh fancy a coffee and remember it’s in the microwave but it’s cold now so you hit “on” for one minute and you’ve forgotten again

Accountability a symbolic ritual, a Christian sacrifice. Failure to achieve or act legally or morally is the negative externality

Why are we such a society of cops that we would ban wildcamping
This is my 2 year old I took wild camping on Dartmoor and he loved it. But he may never have the opportunity to do it again. What an awful decision which has robbed the younger generations of having experiences like these.

Also don’t fancy being the thing this crashes into tbh
I can't believe this has to be pointed out: the reason cars are designed to crumple, rather than be indestructible, is to divert the energy of a crash around the cabin and protect the occupants. If you crash in this thing, the car will be fine but YOU will shatter into pieces.
