I might need it

I don’t remember where I put it if I do need it

But I can’t get rid of it because I might need it

I told you what you needed to know, it’s not my fault if you thought you knew more about my life than me

I’m not miserable at all. I don’t despise life in America, I’m just not proud to be an American anymore

I’m waiting for you to figure out that maybe I’m not a 20 year old teacher…

The uphill battle that I personally face is that I’m up there in age. I’m not old, but I’m not a young man who’s going to put more money into the retirement and health care system then I’ll potentially use

So countries are less likely to accept older people unless they have their own money or a valued skill

I do OK, by most Americans standards I’m well off, but I’m not rich. Not rich enough for a country to just be like, “yeah, whatever”. And my skills are common. I’m in software and so maybe in the 90s they would have jumped to have more developers, but these days they teach programming to kids and with AI being as trending as it is, I doubt they’re hunting for more developers

And it’s not just me, it’s my family.

And then there’s a quality of life thing. At my age with a family I can’t exactly start over at the bottom of a corporate ladder and try to climb my way back up. Even if I could get a job doing something like, “teaching English”, I’m sure it would be a massive pay cut. I make well over six figures, work from home, and set my own hours

My job is fantastic. My country is kinda shit. Not as bad as some other places in the world, life isn’t awful here, but the days of being proud to be an American are long over and if I could keep my job and just move to the other side of the ocean like I can move between states, I’d do it in a second

It’s not that easy

Why would it be a buzzword, that’s literally what it’s called

You can have different pipelines that do different things, but that is the proper term for it

You are talking to me, that’s how replying to somebody works

Great, make a comic about the costs then

You said I could go teach English. To who? The English in England? Scotland? Ireland? Canada? Australia?

I’m trying to move to a place where they already speak English, dipshit

hahaha, omg so funny. So clever

Good I fucking hate this comic

Just the worst low-tier unfunny shit and mouth breathing morons eat it up

“durr, I also think Nazis are bad”

I’m trying to go to England, not Singapore. Pretty sure they don’t need Americans to teach the English how to speak English

My age is a bit of a factor

I also have a family so it’s not just me

I’ve looked. Nothing too crazy but I’ve explored the idea of getting my child out of a part of the world where people think teachers should have guns

If only you’d make comics about that people might not think you’re all a bunch of children

I would, but I can’t just cross the border and declare myself a citizen of another country

So, no, I’m not. I’m kind of stuck here

Trust me, if England or Canada or Australia or Scotland, or Ireland, hell, maybe even Switzerland or France or Germany, etc… said I was free to live there for the rest of my life, I’d start packing my shit tonight

Again, the value of AI is not in its ability to make pictures, it’s in it’s value to do business tasks

Can it make pictures? Sure. Is that why AI worth billions? No

Nobody gives a shit that it make pictures. We’re using it to take notes, manage pipelines, review and write code, analyze data, make up-to-date reports every 10 minutes, looks for trends in the stock market, looks for planets and shit in images of the stars, help us develop medicine, etc…

The Weekend is OK I guess, but Blinding Lights isn’t that great. Better than the KKK sure but I’m more of a Slayer type of guy

“I think you need to be in Canada to understand how deep the animosity to the US is”

I too have deep animosity for the US, and I live here

I want to say most of these are clearly jokes

Tough to know for sure though

I can’t stress enough that most of AI is not used to create art

Can it do this? Yes. Is that what the majority of people engaging with AI everyday are doing? no.

The fact that this is your concern leads me to believe you know nothing of what AI is actually doing in society

You know Uncle Tom was basically the perfect human right?

That’s the point of the book. Pro-Slavery people use to argue that slavery wasn’t that bad so long as your slave master treated you well; so Uncle Toms cabin is a book about a flawless human who is also a slave named Uncle Tom that literally every single person who ever meets him deeply loves and respects but is powerless to stop anything bad from happening to him because he’s not legally a person

If Uncle Tom sucked in any way the reader could always justify the bad shit that happened to Tom not as a result of his legal status, but as a consequence to his shitty actions or personality.

It destroys in every way the argument that slavery can be fine if your slave masters treat you well and for this reason it’s rumored to be the book that broke the proverbial straw and kicked off the civil war.

I found articles from 6 years ago that says that uber drives have the choice to turn you down if they think you’re too drunk or obnoxious

I would have thought that was always the case, but maybe not.

So it reads to me that it’s not that Uber will be like, “he’s legally drunk, he can’t use our service”, it’s, “I went to pick this guy up and he was vomiting and his pants were falling down so I decided to turn him down”

It should be noted I did not actually click these links and read the articles or anything, that’s just how it appeared. So, take it with a grain of salt. I might have read the articles except I don’t drink so I don’t really care
