Gun-related channels are reporting that Google/YouTube is not only demonetizing them, they are also no longer allowed to feature private sponsors that market gun-related products. #censorship

First thing is AI.

Is this worth 20 min of watching? AI is not coming for any devs job any time soon (unless you want wrong answers only).

The reason for the tech layoffs is super simple. Companies vastly over hired in 2020 for way too much. My friends in Finance at Amazon told me they were hiring devs for ~220k, not including options. Some Total Comp (TC) got over $300k. That's really insane, even for like a SRE or DevOps person who puts in 50~60 hours a week.

What resulted is pretty much just a correction. Does he get into that in this video? Because if he doesn't, he's skipping the very obvious answer.

My predicts from July of 2022 was that people who were laid off, who work remotely, bought houses in TX/TN/NC/etc. for Chicago and NYC prices .. raising the floor of single family homes to $300k:

I thought eventually we'd see another housing collapse by now. Layoffs would mean people walked away from $1800/month mortgages they couldn't afford and housing would get sucked up by all the Blackrock/Vanguard backed rental companies.

Some of that has happened ... but new housing construction hasn't slowed down here in TN. People are still buying houses. Locals now understand that $300k floor isn't going back down ever. Local wages for skilled workers are rising to grab some of that influx, along with other remote work.

The commercial real estate market hasn't collapsed yet either. I'm not sure if maybe this is being propped up so it will happen under Trump/24 instead so they can blame him, but I have my doubts. I think my predictions didn't pan out.

Possibly. I just think back to the fact I haven't voted since the first Obama election, and even then I wrote in Mike Graven and Ron Paul.

Even in 2016 I though there was literally no difference between Orange Bastard and Murderous Bitch. The obvious lies in media were so blatant it felt surreal; and people just kinda believed. By 2020, even I was convinced maybe Orange man was marginally different.

But I think we just watched an 8 year long WWF match in politics, complete with stupid gimmicks. Trump was the perfect bad guy + underdog and all the deception made people emotionally invested like a kid watching wrestling or an man-child simping for some twitch streamer.

But in the world of the rich, that's not enough. The events of last Saturday felt like a blood sacrifice. It's not enough to flip the script. I think these crazy fucks really believe killing people in these shticks grants them some kind of power. In a way, the fact they can get away with it is a very real representation of that power.

Lots of reports that DEI is "going away" but I can't help but think it's just going to be replaced by something else.

Ah joy ... Google is turning off its URL shortener and breaking every link that ever used it:

A quick search on lore.kernel.org:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/?q=goo.gl%2F

...turns up about 19,000 messages with affected links. That's a lot of history that is going to become harder (or impossible) to find.

@PurpCat I don't know if they're fangirls, it seems like they're trolls. People have been trying to get Butch Hartman to bring up Randy Stair for years now either because they want his apology, want to hear his thoughts about it, or just want to fuck with him. Though I'm pretty sure that he either isn't aware of it or is just way too traumatized about the event that he doesn't want to talk or even think about it, but I don't get why it's a big deal. I mean iD Software had to bring up Columbine and their stance on it after it happened.

Anyway, most people who follow Butch Hartman don't seem to be aware of Randy Stair. Outside of lolcow circles, not many people were aware of it. It was really just another workplace shooting in some small town. Butch Hartman has been controversial over the years for other reasons, such as taking credit for other people's work, tracing other people drawings for commissions, "liking" Paul Joesph Watson and anti-SJW videos on YouTube, and probably the most egregious, openly joking about Mary Kate Bergman's (Timmy's VA for the Oh Yeah shorts) suicide on a podcast.

defederating dobbs.town haa to be the epitome of "fuck'em if they can't take a joke" :)

Time for some schizo postin'!

Thank you for reading my blog!

There’s a rabbit hole for every possibility. But as far as objective and probable reality goes, four things appear to be true...
