The question is "what would they say about your current self", not what advice would you give them..

The question is not "what advice would you give them?", but "What would they think of your current self?"

Agree, but also I CBF if no one else thinks it's a good idea. Which is why I posted this: https://lemmy.world/post/27963154 - I'll see how that pans out for a day or two, and then I might post that as my first suggestion ;)

I'm also aware that this particular community could be a problem as it could lead to brigading or things like that.

I feel like there should be a "fediverse gold" community, that just links to crazy shit like this...

Yeah, could be. Could also be related to the car, or electricity adoption. They were both a little earlier, but things moved slower back then too.. And they were perhaps more directly impactful to many, especially the middle class.

But I'm not sure whether those were actually financial bubbles... though I guess they might have inspired some kind of excessive technological optimism regardless. It would be super cool to see a time series of public faith in technology over time..

edit: now that I look at it - are those initial down-turns in electricity and autos (and the telephone) adoption between 1925-1930 indications of a bubble burst? I guess poverty probably drove them, but presumably there were factory ramp-ups before that that resulted in excessive production capacity?

The common thread is a lack of understanding of system complexity and a lack of foresight/forethought.

And hindsight, I guess, if you consider that the great depression was at least partly triggered by the Smoot-Hawley tariffs.

And that the AI bubble is almost perfectly analogous to the Dot Com bubble. Makes me wonder if any of the early 20th century technology expansions coincided with the 1929 crash..

So "unqualified labour" might make more sense? Makes you sound like a bit of a wanker saying it, but maybe that's a good thing.

That, and dealing with dipsticks who think your job is easy

I've done one or two nights of hospitality work. It wasn't fun, and I had fairly easy roles. I appreciate it when others do it for me.

Yeah, but it's not gonna grow unless people use it...

Also, Lemmy's Scaled sorting algorithm (which everyone should be using, though I'm not sure it's the default), will up-weight posts from low subscriber count communities.

I reckon "polish american" means something like "culturally polish, but living permanently in america"

Beyond that, does it really matter? Labels are just shortcuts to give other a broad overview. Tell people what ever you want. You can always add more details later if you get to know them better.

Ask on !bulgaria@lemmy.world ?

edit: Or !bulgariaeu@lemmy.world ?

The "obviously wrong" thing is that it looks like a photo of stones, but those things can't be stones (e.g. the feather pattern, radial patterns).. I guess someone could have 3d modelled it, but it seems too random for that..

But yeah, not complaining about the AI-ness, but "old" hurts when you've been using the internet ten times longer than the thing being describe 🥲
