Oh, I know full well that the free market did not get us here. I’m saying that the politicians will, at best, force us to use the free market to make progress. Rules for thee and whatnot. Things will probably happen more slowly than that, as auto makers will resist the market forces more than we can push in the markets’ direction.

The law actually does a better job than you’d think. While it says little about stealing work to train neural networks, it does say that the final result requires significant human input to be eligible for copyright. It’s the same precedent that prevents the copyright of a selfie taken by a monkey. Non human intelligences can’t own stuff, and AI art isn’t made by a human intelligence, so it’s all public domain right now. It cannot be stolen unless someone has put in significantly more work on top of it.

The only way this could work is communism, but I don’t think tech bros will call for that any time soon.

They must, but they aren’t. The infrastructure investments to make mass transit preferable in sprawling cities will not happen soon enough. The people in power will not compromise their worship of free markets for climate change. Over time, the market will transition that way, but not any faster under the current system.

Most of the growth in solar has been market driven. It’s why Texas has a lot of solar despite them subsidizing oil and gas. It’s free, plentiful energy that hits the ground almost every day. If you have boatloads of land that’s not ideal for farming, yet not too hot for much of the year, it makes economic sense.

Indoor farming is on the rise, as you can have the optimal climate anywhere. It’s more spatially efficient with vertical planting, but it has a far higher energy cost for air conditioning and potentially lighting. At least the farm workers are cooler too 🤷‍♀️

The tags are probably sports related. It likely HAS been reposted for decades.

I don’t. They might commit more hate crimes, but mass shooters usually do it because they’re demoralized and feel powerless. Trump supporters are the opposite rn. The shooter rolled a natural 1 for agility and Trump rolled a critical success for luck. It couldn’t have gone better for him.

They shouldn’t have gone for the head. COM dumbass! Even I know that 🤦‍♀️

Pro tip: only base armor rating matters with that perk, meaning you can’t boost it through tempering. Daedric gauntlets have the highest at 18. Additionally, Khajiit actually do 10 damage on top of the 12 damage from their claws as a result of being a “beast” race. Therefore, they do 22 damage at the start and at most 40 with the perk. Without exploits or mods, you can boost damage by 86 points through enchantments for 126 damage total.

For me, it was GMod dark rp. I somehow repressed the memory, but there was a time when my friend and I would set up “strip clubs” and emote in front of patrons while only using text chat. Some fruity shit happened on those servers, most of which I don’t remember.

Even if we are, idgaf

AI have brainrot confirmed? 🤯😱

You’re right. They can be oh so holier-than-thou about an individual choice that can’t practically solve the problem. I saw your comment about vegans not harming anyone(even though those vegans harm by being mean), and assumed you were a chud. It’s really important for all of us to be more clear about our intentions. If we aren’t, it invites reactionaries to feel comfortable here.

Nah, I love meat. I just eat it without any illusions that it’s not fucked up. Ultimately, many people can’t afford to not eat animal products. Being a vegan is expensive in time and money, which is why lower income people aren’t as commonly vegan. It’s possible for them, but it does take a ton of time and effort.

Things are this way because the full cost of the meat industry get passed off to the public as negative externalities. It’s the same way with the fossil fuel industry. Chevron doesn’t pay for the harm caused by greenhouse gasses in the same way that the meat industry doesn’t pay for the diseases their industry spawns, the increased agricultural production to feed livestock that cuts down forests, or the fucking cow farts spewing methane.

Mocking vegans has the same energy as mocking renewable energy. It’s not as bad, but only because we aren’t as totally reliant on meat. Our current society cannot function on renewable energy. We’d need to effectively degrow to reach net zero, and markets will never do that. Average people cannot solve this problem by going vegan or getting solar, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad to do those things.

Not a vegan, but you’re an asshole. People recognize a genuine problem with an industry that contributes massively to climate change, antibiotic resistance, and environmental destruction, and you’re mocking them? That’s some South Park level shittyness/stupidity. Maybe one day you’ll realize vegans have a point, but you probably won’t own up to how much harm your attitude caused.

GTFO. You aren’t welcome here.

Edit: thank you for editing the post. It really wasn’t clear that it was meant to mock a shitty subset of vegans when you first posted it rather than the entire movement. I 100% agree that those people can be snobbish dicks.

Where do the 3rd and 4th swords come from?

He’s 80 years old though. He’s a very terrifying 80 year old, but he can’t really throw down like he used to when he was in his 40s-60s. People always joke about Keanu being immortal, but Trejo made Machete when he was 66.
