    It might indeed take effort and work to learn how

    A key part of the treatlerite fantasy is that somebody else does this part for you.

      Absolutely and I will never tire of pointing out to them how pathetic that is. I’m an adult and I’m great at adult things like being able to cook for myself. They are babies and their (lack of) skills is part of the proof.

      Guess leftists just built different. We can do things for ourselves unlike those coddled tallow bois

          Not wrong and unfortunately for them the computer can’t even pretend to make borger yet. Once I saw a robot barista. Like after every few drinks a guy had to come over and tinker with it. Get a cup unstuck. Clean spilled milk. Etc. Like sweet you just made the most expensive shittiest latte over ever seen.

        It’s the ultimate tragedy of wealth imo. Not that I feel particularly bad for rich people, but having your every want catered to can ruins you as a person as surely as being deprived of necessities can. The rich aren’t lizard people, they’re incomplete people, and the American Dream is to position yourself well enough within the imperial extraction machine that you too can afford to let your personhood atrophy.

          It really does seem true. The richest people I’ve ever interacted with were most notably boring. Talking to them was like talking to a statue. No thoughts.

          And these aren’t even ultra wealthy business ghouls just like a guy who I went to college with who happened to make like a few million via lucky crypto bets. He’d lost all personality from when I talked with him in college.
