Baby, I may have micropenis, but my monster truck will vibrate enough to make you orgasm!!!
Some time later, the woman breaks up with the dude and starts a relationship with the truck

Define "being useless". It certainly seems that "being useless", to you, it is either "not working" or "not creating monetary value", which would be super ironic given that there are many jobs around the world that make the person feel useless or worse

I'd say that anyone that feels the need to define themselves "by their role" has no clue on who they are or can be, needing the rest of society to direct them

Nothing like comparing a technology that took more than 10 years to get "released in the wild" and had several "killer apps" built using it very early on (email, instant messaging, web pages, online games) and many companies had no idea how to get money with it, vs. a "content generator" that is run almost entirely on promises of increased productivity and profit.

You have a very limited view of what life should, or even can be.

boring-ass investor presentations (...) It’s all filler nonsense.

I mean, you could probably just copy-paste that and call it a day for all presentations

'Round my parts, robbers just target the armoured trucks that move money to ATMs.

Brazilian under a similar situation. Gambling and casinos are illegal within the entire country, but in 2018 online gambling/casinos were allowed to run ads everywhere. Every other week there'd be a new betting site throwing ads on every TV channel and tiktok/instagram influencer. Some regulation started showing up last year, people on Bolsa Familia (govt money for people in extreme poverty) were dumping that money straight into the gambling sites, but it's too little, too late. A significant portion of the political right is now being ~~bribed~~ lobbied to legalize casinos again, "It'z gun generert jerbs and tworism!!!!"

If you make it illegal, they'll just run back to a tax haven like so many are already doing, but at least people will be less likely to find them. If you tax them to hell, they'll also run to a tax haven and do money laundering+tax evasion. Gambling companies are lose-lose-win for people-govts-themselves.
