Well this is partially true. I'm pretty sure even a cat on a perfect diet will still have very high chances of developing chronic kidney disease in old age because it is just common in cats.

Could be wrong but my understanding is that It's partially because their kidneys are so efficient that they often get kidney disease in late age. They're always under a super high workload.

As others have pointed out, this is a Starbucks, but take a look at this photo I took a couple months ago. It was a line for an In-N-Out burger that was not even new, but it was the longest drive-through line I've ever seen. It was like ~500 feet long and split off into four separate lanes that all filtered into two main lanes that they actually took your order at. I was across the street getting Chipotle and I spent about 15 minutes inside watching this line and all of these cars only move forward by about one car length. I guesstimate that these people are gonna be waiting in line for two plus hours and that fucking blows my mind.

And the fuckers were spilling into the main road blocking traffic.

I think there are a good number of people who are trying to deal with the problem, but a significant portion of the ruling class do not want to and have no plans to deal with the problem. So, dealing with the symptoms is the next best thing.

The only way we can deal with the problem is by unplugging all of these people in the ruling class and starting fresh. But that's not something that is going to happen very easily or maybe at all sadly. Plus, we might just get a batch of fresh shitheads to rule the world.

Life's tough, sorry you've had it rough. Keep sticking it out for those good moments, there are many many more to come!

That's great, but you aren't "normal"

Not really, amazon has a very diverse income stream and AWS isn't going to stop making them obscene money.

Plus with project Kupier starting to launch they will have another infinite money printer just like SpaceXs starlink that has been generating significant revenue for them.

Are you factoring in the fact that there have been substantially more Tesla's sold than a Ford Pinto? Like, what's the per 100,000 units car sold metric?

Not really copium. OP makes a great point. It's like comparing Xbox sales to the sales of a specific pre-built PC. The pre-built PC could never compete, but all PC sales over a given period likely outnumber Xbox sales significantly.

I don't own either, and probably never will, but IMO, you are the one who is coping.

Its a rendering from this funny cage Amazon patent, originally an idea for people to enter one of Amazon's robotics floors to get amnesty, otherwise known as items on the floor.

In that case, the cage was for protection. So maybe the data labeler is being threatened by outside forces and needs the cage.

I think he was only using it to work on the MacBook, Which, I really don't think is his daily driver.

True, but I think it would be extremely easy to identify them from the strings of dozens of identical letters still visible on the hat.

If you pay attention to most normal people, they actually are infatuated with gen AI slop and it's sort of cringe, I work at a large company and half of the people's profile pictures on our communication application are gpt ghibleified images of themselves. Hating image generation is fairly common in these online circles, but overall the average population seems to like it.

Personally I would never refer to image generation as art, but image generation in itself is honestly a super cool and fascinating technology.
