that is correct
if the experiment succeeded, their selfless and humbleness will lead to taxes and there to be no billionaires left in the world
- Comment on nature be freaky like that 1 day ago:
considering their apparent inability to learn, if you manage to teach 1 humility you’d best not waste it: feed the whole billionaire to the next, and then repeat the process until all billionaires in the world are selfless and humble
- Comment on Anon gets corrected 1 week ago:
i’m from australia and i’ve adopted yall for exactly that reason
it also makes me real happy that some very transphobic shit heads would be furious if they knew that “their word” was part of the solution to gender neutral terminology

- Comment on Elon Musk says X’s algorithm pushes “too much negativity" while reports suggest the platform will suppress "criticism of the government" and "attacks against powerful people and institutions" 2 weeks ago:
it’s possible that the grok model was trained or fine tuned somehow to help with moderation. in that case, it’s possible that things like these bullet points are somewhere up it’s context chain, or in its training data in a manner that it can relatively accurately recall
- Comment on My hotel elevator has a toilet 2 weeks ago:
i’d imagine using it would be in a similar category to an emergency exit: don’t unless it’s an emergency; the choice is yours and there are consequences for misuse

- Comment on What games have you sunk the most time into? 3 weeks ago:
for sure wow… i remember in xfire days it logged like 20hrs
… i literally have nightmares where my character is reaching out of a black void sobbing “please im so lonely come back and play with me”
fuck that whole game
- Comment on GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam” 3 weeks ago:
perhaps - i didn’t read the article, but if it’s your contract workforce rather than full time then sometimes you just want to transition from expensive “temporary” employees to permanent positions
- Comment on GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam” 3 weeks ago:
the reality of the situation is that these 2 things look exactly the same in 99% of circumstance and 100% of circumstances that consumers actually care about

- Comment on A ton of bollocks, more like 4 weeks ago:
no, we want metric tons - or tonnes
a long ton is also not 1000kg; it’s 2240lb… a metric ton is 2204.6lb

- Comment on Electric Cars Could Last Much Longer Than You Think - Rather than having a shorter lifespan than internal combustion engines, EV batteries are lasting way longer than expected 1 month ago:
less about easy to start an EV company (honestly you can buy engines, so that’s not really the hard part; manufacturing is, as tesla found out the hard way) and more about it being easy to build an EV from almost nothing… you can ram batteries and electric motors into almost any body as you pointed out, so if a company makes junk it’s pretty easy to replace bits with whatever you like
- Comment on NSW Police face fresh calls to be banned from Mardi Gras 1 month ago:
pride is a protest. it’s not a zoo - we aren’t here to be a spectacle, we aren’t here to be a tourist attraction for the state or federal governments
we are here to fight for our rights and equality - which we still don’t have, despite some of the white picket fence crowd trying to say that since we have marriage it’s over
police are the tool by which the majority oppresses the minority. as a symbol, police marching at mardi gras changes what it is - from a protest to an event - to a zoo for their amusement… their involvement is approval from the majority that what we’re doing is sanitised enough, is “ordinary” enough in their eyes
are there queer police? of course! can they be proud of themselves, and of their job? again, of course! but when they represent the police force, in uniform, they represent a group whose purpose is directly against the protest that is the whole point of the event

- Comment on Anon signs up for a dating site 4 months ago:
normalising words is still problematic - you never know who around will take it as “oh it’s okay to say then”
- Comment on Misinformation: Baseless claim about U.S. presidential candidate Kamala Harris crash spread by mysterious website 4 months ago:
that’s only partly true:
economically liberal indeed means free markets and capitalism (this is why the australian conservative party is called the Liberal party)
however liberalism as a whole includes individual rights like human and civil rights, secularism, etc (this is what the US tends to define as liberal)
it’s an overloaded and imperfect term for our current global political cultures
similar applies to left and right wing:
the left are supporters of change and generally change that supports less fortunate and leads to less social hierarchy
what both these things have in common is that liberal and left wing are about change and new ideas, whilst conservative and right wing are about maintaining the status quo (or as is more currently the case, regressing to a previous status quo)
- Comment on America's Smartest Man Finds Something Interesting 4 months ago:
optimised solutions often create negative secondary effects in other systems - it’s not (always) that people are resistant to fixing things, it’s that when people get attached to an “optimised solution” and it comes into contact with the real world, it’s often difficult for them to take valid criticisms that aren’t about the system

- Comment on Valve bans Razer and Wooting’s new keyboard features in Counter-Strike 2 5 months ago:
actually professional motor sports are quite an exertion because they drive for hours with no rest and they’re doing a lot of movement of the wheel and pedals - it’s not just driving down an interstate for a couple of hours
