"Like, I'm not saying that this is a good thing, but it's kind of bleakly entertaining how over the course of my life my skill set as an online researcher has gone from being:

• 1. Hugely valuable in the late 1990s and early 2000s because the discoverability of information in public-facing databases was fucking terrible and nobody knew how to organise anything; to
• 2. Effectively useless throughout the 2010s because search engines enormously and rapidly improved and computer literacy was at an all-time high; and 
• 3. Back to being hugely valuable once again because SEO bullshit and the proliferation of AI-generated content have degraded online discoverability back to pre-2000 levels and computer literacy is in accelerating decline due to mobile devices deliberately obfuscating basic functionality so that app vendors can sell it back to you with embedded advertising.

A cool thing about cyberpunk coming true is we got ALL the cyberpunk futures:

• * China: universal surveillance and social control
• * America: cool gadgets and wretched inequality
• * Russia: shadowy plots, covert ops, assassinations
• * Japan: Japan

From the comments: "you forgot alpha-testing high-speed pedestrian murder machines."

Alexandria "problem", "solution", "results"

"More roads is the solution for traffic problems like bigger pants is the solution for obesity."

Has he considered that by refusing to drive to his job any more he'd be hastening the collapse of society?

why do we bother with I hate my partner jokes when your boss is right there.  s/(wife|husband|spouse)/boss/gi;

Me: I feel fat, can you give me a compliment?
Boss: Can you stay late tonight?

- If you were my [employee] I'd poison your coffee.
- If you were my [boss], I'd drink it.

Arguing with a [Boss] is like reading the software licence agreement; in the end, you'll get in trouble anyways so you just skip to the end and say "I agree."

- Where's your [boss]?
- In the garden.
- I don't see him.
- You have to dig a little.

Want to know what it's like being [employed]?  chain yourself to a bear then kick the bear.
