I have some devastating news for the hindutva fascists (not Indians in general): you will never be white or part of the west.

Remains to be seen, it is a very fluid composition

Late stage, no, not so much, earlier stages? Yeah, absolutely, especially compared to like the west

Car infrastructure is just, and I do mean this seriously, unimaginably expensive. If you do not priotize the car you have such a shitton of money left over you can just put like, chandeliers in your metro stations.

Fuck urban rents, how about that?

Boy I wonder where we might be able to find lots and lots of space within a city for new construction to densify it.

The thing is you're just not right. EVs serve to save the car, not the world.

It's not like without EVs, so many people would be rushing to areas of greater density and riding public transit, so your message

Correct! Which is why you should fight cars in general, cause then that happens

For all his many, many faults, Gerhard Schröder isn't exactly a bumbling oaf. His purpose for saying it is his multi decade close relationship with Putin that has netted him a very comfortable life in Russia and he ain't about to throw that shit out, he'd always give you the line that paints Russia in a positive light. Doesn't really have bearing on whether it's true or not, he's just absolutely not a source to be trusted here

I wouldn't trust Gerhard Schröder on anything regarding Russia to be honest.

I'm not arguing pro ICE cars over EV cars, I'm arguing against cars, be they EV or ICE

To get anywhere close to the grid being considered decarbonised (I'm ignoring carbon capture here because that's not going to happen at any meaningful scale unless we geoengineer shit) all of the materials, all of the manufacturing and all of the building and maintenance would have to be run on renewable energy. Like from the mines of Australia over to all of the plants in china to assembly, for every component.

And to have it make any difference at all, you have to do it within the next 30 or so years. And then there's still the tyres, also you gotta do the entire shit again for the very climate friendly processing of building roads that withstand cars for give or take a season, extra challenge mode due to the increased weight of EVs. And also then there's still the tyres.

hopefully the battery tech and infrastructure investments will help pave the way to better solutions.

We've already got those, it's called trains and bicycles, former have been EVs for like a century

Wasn't the hyperloop supposed to be pod based in some far back concept iteration? It's not even train in tunnel, that's just a subway, it's gadgetbahn in tunnels

3. a self-fulfilling prophecy of pitbulls having a bad reputation and actively being sought out by people who want vicious dogs and who will treat their dogs in such a way as to encourage that behavior.

I'm pretty neutral on dog genetics but tbh it still ends you at the same conclusion; not everyone should just be able to get the dog that kills you

Even if ChatGPT was literally a perfect copy of a human being it would still be 0 steps closer to a general intelligence because it does not fucking understand WHAT or HOW to actually do the things it suggests.

What if we AI passes the turing test not because computers got intelligent but because people got dumber

I understand your vision now

Explore might be pushing it but there's the old 3rd Gen AA title Darkest of Days where you you're a timecop and get to mow down american civil war formations with your future machine gun

I feel like Battlebits gets pretty close to this?

TF2 Competitive

the grind got so shitty the logistics players actually went on strike

love to have people in management who cannot for the life of them manage their own workload or inbox. I don't even know when I last got a response from my manager for anything, I just send it to the void at this point as shit falls apart

we get a lot of people learning what "digital sovereignity" means

just kidding, the state is going to pay every business affected gajillion dollars to buy more google

It is rather clear, that this code is not aimed at firefox users to slow down their loading time.

alternatively it's just well designed
