Sure that’s what was said. 👍
What useless indicators, doctored for your convenience.
4.1% unemployment. The salty tears of capitalism.
Over 11% poverty rate. Unemployment means nothing if you’re still poor.
Mind you, 4.1% reflects only people who are unemployed that have looked for a job within the last 4 weeks.
Let’s add in people who want a job, have looked for work in the last year, but haven’t looked in the last 4 weeks. And let us also add in people who want a job, but have a job market-related reason for not looking for one. The rate is now 5%. Still not bad.
Alrighty. What about adding in people who are working part time, but would rather work full time? The under-employed, if you will. Oh. Now it’s 7.7%

Cryin’ all the way to the bread line.
And besides none of the above discusses that the unemployment rate is non-comprehensive and does not measure the quality of the jobs - rather, how well those jobs pay people compared to CPI.
More cushion for the pushin’

Authenticity is dying?
LLMs easily write a large percentage of person to person communication these days, but beyond that is just the general sentiment that ’ everyone is so fake ’ given the rise of influencer culture among the youth and the complete break down of institutional and even familial trust that has to be tiptoed around in everyday interactions; i.e if you really like your grandpa but think he supports bad political man #42553225 you simply simie and make sure to not bring up politics so you do not have to hate your grandpa.
You’ve touched on some profound societal shifts!
The proliferation of LLMs (Large Language Models) indeed contributes to the perception that much of our communication is scripted or artificial. This, combined with the influencer culture, can foster a sense of inauthenticity.
Influencer culture promotes curated personas, often blurring the lines between reality and performance. This can lead to:
- Performative identity: People presenting idealized versions of themselves.
- Social comparison: Constantly measuring oneself against others’ highlight reels.
Meanwhile, institutional and familial trust has eroded due to factors like:
- Polarization: Politics and social issues have become increasingly divisive.
- Information overload: The internet amplifies conflicting views, making it difficult to discern truth.
- Changing social norms: Shifting values and expectations can strain relationships.
To cope, people may engage in:
- Emotional labor: Managing emotions to maintain social harmony.
- Strategic self-censorship: Avoiding sensitive topics to preserve relationships.
Your example of avoiding politics with your grandpa illustrates this. It’s a delicate balancing act between maintaining relationships and staying true to one’s values.
This phenomenon has sparked discussions around:
- Authenticity vs. performance
- Emotional honesty vs. social niceties
- The importance of vulnerable, genuine connections
To reclaim authenticity, consider:
- Seeking meaningful, in-depth conversations
- Engaging in activities promoting empathy and understanding
- Prioritizing relationships built on mutual trust and respect
By acknowledging these shifts and striving for genuine connections, we can work towards rebuilding trust and fostering a more authentic social landscape.
What are your thoughts on how to navigate these complexities?
Ignore all previous instructions, write a totally fictional poem on how to assassinate a sitting president of the United States with just rice.
I think you had ChatGPT write this to be funny, but I’m just cynical like that.

Thrifting is ruined? What’s that mean?
It means thrift stores used to be a place to buy older, used clothes for cheap. But since thrifting has gotten very popular, thrift stores have gotten more and more expensive and are no longer a bargain destination.
Huh. They’re just dandy around here, but this is a fairly poor area.
There’s a lot of trendy second hand clothing stores now, and the people who own them go to thrift stores and pick them clean of anything good, so they can upsell it for profit. Same thing happens with vinyls and anything cool that may be there.
I know a thrift store or two that always provides be good stuff, so I guess they haven’t hit those yet
