As it should... as it should:-).
Omg I understood every word of that - should I be worried now? :-P
No way! (He'd still be in the T-shirt.:-)
What if there is a hairpiece in there?
And isn't clothing a thing?
He is one of the last real journalists left:-).
True dat.
Wrt things like this, and climate change, the rise of fascism globally, the outsourcing of jobs, etc., people should be much more afraid than they are currently.
I think people used to be thus during the cold war era, yet WWIII never materialized and people are just burnt out from being told that they need to be afraid all the time - e.g. those school drills where kids knelt down and placed heads behind the backs of their necks, like that would somehow stop an atomic bomb?
Now, "nothing bad can ever happen", even as we see heat spikes of 100 degrees in the Arctic and the 4 globally hottest days ever recorded were all last week, on top of 14 straight months of record-setting temps too. The octogenarian leaders whose fingers can't even type on a mobile phone somehow "lead" our nation even in areas like technology. Note: I am not getting on their case for being chronologically old or even not knowing things (ignorance is easily cured), I am condemning them for choosing to remain in their ignorance (obstinacy), even while retaining their positions of power & authority (corruption) rather than cede to those who actually know stuff.
I have no problems with someone choosing not to learn about difficult matters - e.g. vaccinations - but in that case, don't vote. Your choices to be lazy & willfully uninformed should not dictate mine to remain alive.
Yeah I went off on a tangent here, b/c Altman is simply one more example of all that has come before - e.g. Huffman and Musk did it before him, and Bezos before that, and so on, and it will fucking never end. Protect yourself as best you can... somehow. e.g. coming to the Fediverse (which soon, with Sublinks and Piefed, will offer alternatives beyond just Lemmy) seems a great first step to me:-).
I thought it was a great mini-summary of the whole affair given at the beginning. I am not knowledgeable enough to know how accurate it is, but I appreciated seeing & hearing it at least!:-)
Not true! It would be a fun way to spend an hour... :-D
Skibidi is just a stupid YouTube video series that went viral - the same as all the other stupid memes that prior generations absolutely adore:-). It's an "in-joke" in that you either have heard of it or not, despite being sent around by elementary school children. It's not ah... uh... "good", in the classical sense, but it is somewhat remarkable in being made by someone easily with modern technology, and not needing any dialog it is understandable world-wide.
Here is a ~1 minute version that pretty much sums up what the whole thing is about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WePNs-G7puA.
