  Regardless of AI, anything you create will be stolen from yoy by corporations that already control the market.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Our government spends more on healthcare than anyone else as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The US spends more on Healthcare than Europe, or anyone else. We just get worse care for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨World Cup: Can I support England after far-right claimed the flag?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Given the nature of symbols, it will really require an effort to reclaim it’s meaning. Possibly an intentional movement to establish a more positive meaning. It’s always easier to tarnish a symbol than to restore one. It can be worth the effort though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why exactly are nursing aids paid so poorly?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You would think, but for the most part daycare is a very low profit industry. The problem I think is that all the costs tend to scale with size. So having a lot more clients just means a lot higher costs.

  There are exceptions of course, but all of those that I’ve seen also have some other luxury additions to basic care.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why exactly are nursing aids paid so poorly?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Daycare is a crazy one. Insanely expensive, yet the workers are damn near indentured servants.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump Urges Canceling Freedom 250 Concerts After Artists Drop Out⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I admit I know nothing about them, but considering Trump has been booed when mentioned at least a few times at UFC matches, I’m wondering how long until they start dropping out of his cage match.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What does everyone think of the economic outlook for the next year?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The global economy is severely weakened, but stable. There is also a long list of developments that could crater everything, both literally and figuratively, and very little to look forward to for the vast majority of the population.

  Best case scenario is the ending of multiple hostilities, allowing the resumption of trade, and a slow grinding recovery.

  Worst case scenario is an extinction event, either caused by escalation in Ukraine, or to a lesser extent Iran, leading to nuclear conflict.

  Both extreme’s are unlikely, and the entire range between them is just various levels of who is going to get fucked.

  Depends on the actual spot, there a holes in the bottom of some of those canals, there could have been a head injury when she fell. Until someone is actually standing where she fell in, you don’t actually know the depth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apes smart⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The human/gorilla common ancestor walked upright on two feet. Humans kept it, gorillas evolved towards foot/knuckle walking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An 82-year-old YouTuber grandma was raided by police and SWATs during her live stream last night where she plays Minecraft to raise money for her grandsons cancer. Authorities brought 20 police cars⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  From the point of contact, or including time to find a good one? A good assassin can be very quick.

  I’ll give ya cheaper though. Good work costs good money.

  Swimming with corpses, what everyone does on their weekend…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Six different ways that prove the wealthy pay a lot more than their ‘fair share’⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They also get far more benefit from police, military, legal protections and processes. As far as tax burden goes, they’re getting a bargain. Add in the regulatory capture of the labor market and they’re getting slaves cheaper than slavery. Except when they’re using actual slaves in our prisons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Six different ways that prove the wealthy pay a lot more than their ‘fair share’⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Notice they start with only the progressive federal income tax, then don’t mention sales taxes, property taxes, fuel taxes and every other regressive tax? Because once you fill in the rest of the tax burden, it’s essentially flat. The top 1% takes essentially all productivity gains in the economy, while tax burdens are spread across the entire population.

  While taxation isn’t the only answer, or cause, of the problem, it is part of the solution.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Subnautica 2 Early Access Gameplay Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah Krafton can fuck right off, but at this point game sales will determine what the devs get paid, so it’s well worth it to support the game. Assuming it’s up to snuff as a game of course. I’ll be waiting until after early access myself, but I have high hopes it’s a good game. The video shows what could be some nice improvements.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Subnautica 2 Early Access Gameplay Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks like the devs won their lawsuit, so totally worth checking out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do all cis women support single-sex spaces being based on ‘biological sex’?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sadly the government has decided to hurt all women in pushing for these new hate rules.

  They wrote a whole project about it.

  Nothing you type on the internet is truly private, if it were, you wouldn’t be allowed to do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dont do it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Anyone know how much ram is in one of those security dogs?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨3.9% APR⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It wasn’t what I’d call a highway vehicle, but it would get your around town. No power, but it weighed nothing so they were ok for slow off road use. If you draft a big enough semi you can get them up to 85.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me emitting 20KG of CO2 by using Google search to spellcheck individual words⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Most of the time for me it’s not even that the spell checker doesn’t know the word, it’s that it can’t unmangle my typing or misspelling. Teh it knows is wrong, and obviously knows ‘the’, but doesn’t even suggest it as a correction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If someone opened a store and just sold stuff at cost, which undercuts every other competitors by alot. Would this not for the big corps to come way down on their prices?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You mean googlw fiber?

  You kinda have to when most local spell checkers suck so bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Question, Star Trek fans: What makes Captain Kirk a good leader?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  High situational awareness allowing decisive action, and impeccable plot armor.

  Ah Spring is in the air…and the drains apparently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the bigger problem is going to be too much support for solo play. A big part of what made EQ work was getting people into groups and guilds and the connections made in that pursuit. Without it, the game was just a boring grind, the game play and story lines were all very basic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has a hobby⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The truth is out there.

  Sure just double the vram and your AI can run, unfortunately you can’t afford that vram because billionaires are running AI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is "dark humor" generally acceptable or is it just my parents/culture more sensitive towards jokes?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve found that people who are offended by dark humor (the non racist variety) tend to be people I don’t like, and don’t trust alone with children.
