You know that “stop forcing AI into fucking everything” graphic that went around on here?

Around DC, the DC Question when people meet you is always "what do you do?"
I ask them, "do you want to know my interests, like my wabbits or music or watches, or do you want to know what I do for money?"
They almost always mean it as "are you important, or can I safely ignore you?"
This is DC, after all.
@the_turtle @rebootdeluxe @itsmeholland I’m in the DC area too, but I mostly meet people through hobbies, so we talk about the hobby.
If it’s the SCA, tell me about your persona and your crafts. Infodumps about weaving or glassmaking would be normal.
If it’s tango, how long have you been dancing, did you learn here or in another city, who are your favorite teachers, do you dance both roles or just one, been to any good festivals lately, do you do any other dances?

@the_turtle @rebootdeluxe @itsmeholland once we get off the hobby it’s probably what other hobbies do you have, restaurant recommendations, families…
But upcoming events are always a discussion topic that brings it back to the hobby. “Did you hear Germán Filipeli and Rocío Leguizamón are visiting next month? Are you signing up for their class?” “Are you headed to Kingdom Arts & Sciences Festival? I’m entering the pentathlon this year.”

@itsmeholland you can be friends with someone for quite a while without discussing work. It didn’t come up until about 6 months ago that that’s where she works.
@maco @itsmeholland personally I would stop being friends with someone who works for a company that helped and possibly still helps ICE -

@0x4d6165 @maco like ICE is not even the peak of the evil McKinsey has been at the center of, spanning at least 30 years. It's unspeakable how there are still people who will work for these companies as if this doesn't make them accomplices. Same with those clowns who feel sad after finding out their employer PALANTIR is working with ICE. Like you didn't put together that you're one the bad guys until just now, or you still haven't? What
