Yeah. It’s really weird to not want to cut your kids for no clear benefit.

Just do what the americans do. Make homelessness illegal, then you can arrest them and put them into the for-profit prisons to become slave labor.

Oh bullshit. There are plenty of good reasons to be against “AI”. Look at any of the multi-paragraph, well-reasoned arguments right in this thread.

I understand it’s very difficult when you’re just trying to get by. I truly get that. But if the average citizen doesn’t risk the things they hold dear in order to do the right thing, no one is going to do it for you. There’s a point where they’ve consolidated too much power for you to realistically do anything about it. You’re not there yet, though it’s headed in that direction fast. There’s still a window of opportunity.
I would look, for example, to the Ukrainian Euromaidan as inspiration. They risked everything, and many lost their lives. But they succeeded. It can be done. If you give up before the fight has started, what’s even the point of being alive?

I would respectfully disagree with the assertion that most people operate in survival mode. I understand Africa is different from Europe. Here, we’ve had things relatively stable because of our good relations with most of our neighbors (with the exception of russia). If you can trust most of the people next to you, you can prepare for the worst with the rest, but still live life in peace and tranquility for the most part.
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs shows that if you have the basics - such as physiological and safety needs - taken care of, it frees you to pursue higher goals. We’ve prepared for another war with russia for some 80 years, but we’re still a safe, developed nation where most people don’t really need to worry about their physiological and safety needs too much, which leaves them free to pursue things like belonging, esteem and self-actualization.
That’s my understanding of the situation anyway. I’m not saying I’m 100% right, but that’s how I see it so far.

If being able to rely on the US depends entirely on the next president for the next 4 to 8 years, that means we can’t rely on them at all. I say that as someone in a country that needs its NATO membership.

Not sure if you mean the Moskva, that one was taken out by anti-ship missiles. But let’s do both, just to be sure?
- Comment on What gaming console you owned disappointed you the most and why ? 1 month ago:
I’ve replaced the HDD with an SSD a few years ago. It’s very easy. Just make sure you backup your savegames and settings first.
