Yeah it’s, what, pretty much just a fancy looking wand that shoots a fancy looking projectile?

Edit: I was wrong. It was a bow

I mean, sure, but that’s really easier said than done. Good luck getting good mental healthcare for cheap in the vast majority of places

Why does legality matter? Laws are set by the government, why do you expect a fascist one to be beholden to them?

The interesting thing though, is that technological life continuing leads to more entropy faster, not slower.

Is your argument that we should use generative AI to mislead people? To make fake videos and images and such to use as “proof”?

This is just that zizek quote

Well, the thing is, death and destruction isn’t more profitable. But that’s not the point. The point is to keep global hegemony by keeping the military-industrial-complex rich as fuck while at the same time getting bribes as “incentive”

For humanity as a whole, it’s all a net loss. Not only does the rocket cost resources, but so does the building that it blows up

And you need to keep in mind that targeted harassment campaigns are perfectly content twisting and manipulating the truth. I have plenty of experience with shit like that from my personal life. So I do not put a lot of stock in info sourced from places like those

In addition, I highly doubt the founder would have been this deeply affected by the harassment if she actually was a person that didn’t care much for the animals or others and their opinions

Yeah sorry if I don’t believe this when the source is fucking kiwifarms

I love heat pumps I love heat pumps I love heat pumps

(I agree! I do love tech connections. Although I’d argue that knowing how heat pumps work can be quite beneficial ^^ at least in my case)

Why would anyone want to watch AI generated content? What’s the point? I get using AI generation as a tool but if there’s no human intention behind it, just a pure algorithm, why even bother?

“if the US falls, you will be next”

Yeah, and that’s effectively you (as a group) threatening me, isn’t it? For stuff that’s going on in your country? That I had no influence on? Why do you expect me to do anything but prepare to defend myself?

I won’t be saving your country from your own mess, no. And as a non-local I would be less than useless even if I did cross the border. What I will be doing, however, is preparing to the best of my ability myself and my home community against a fascist US.

Besides, that wasn’t the point of my comment. The point of my comment is that the fascists in charge won’t hesitate to use violence against you. If you choose to not defend yourself from it, then you’re sitting ducks, and they get free reign. It has nothing to do with “bloodlust”. It’s about defending yourself from an abuser. Why did you assume I tried to shame you? I’m not the original commenter.

It’s not about bloodlust, it’s about not being sitting ducks

It’s your country that’s falling apart, it’s going to affect primarily you (at first, and then the rest of the world)

Another comment mentioned that she did, in fact, elaborate this right after

Outer worlds just felt so uninteresting to me. I played it, and it was a forgettable experience imo

Well, that doesn’t matter for blåhaj, which disables downvotes, at least

The bigger issue is nukes I think. You cannot overthrow a regime militarily these days, countries have simply a tool that is far too destructive to realistically risk it

As a rule of thumb, there typically are very few people clamoring for volunteer leader positions. It’s a constant problem you see even in irl non-profit organizations, unless they’re fairly big/famous

It just turns out that, it’s actually just a lot of responsibility and work. Most people realize this, and don’t have the capacity to do the work, so often there even are no candidates for the leader positions… until someone reluctantly steps up because otherwise the organization would die

At least, that’s my experience in the real life organizations and clubs I’ve volunteered in

Britain was also broke after WW2, and couldn’t really afford, nor did they want to, keeping India

So in a way India’s freedom was fought and won violently, it just wasn’t mainly India’s violence

You need to rebuild roads to maintain them every couple decades anyway. That cost is already baked in, it just depends what you so with it
