Its post covid. These a holes have been price gouging us. Everyone outside of costco is out to get you.

I can probably give some explanation. We as a household of 3 mainly cooks at home. We get fruits and veggies from costco and farmers markets mainly. The monthly grocery bills are close to 500$ with everything added up. We do try to eat as healthy as possible and cooks majority of the days. A days cooking almost looks like this

• Breakfast: Eggs/bread/avocado etc
• Lunch: Rice/Quinoa + salad/stir fry + protein(eggs/fish)
• Dinner: steel cut oats with yogurt or something similar
• Some snacks during the day and in the evening
• Coffee(homemade to reduce cost)

Almost everything adds up. Asparagus is almost 5$ a bunch. Spinach adds up to 4$. Milk is close to 7$. At the end of month when we tallied up, it was close to 500$. I dont think we are actually eating that much or even buying a lot of junk. Post covid has been a ride

This technology purely exists to make human drivers redundant and put the money in the hands of big tech and eventually the ruling class composed off of politicians risk averse capitalists and beurocracy. There is no other explanation for robo taxis to exist. There are better solution like trains and metros which can solve the movement of people from point A to point B easily. It does not come with a 3x-10x capital growth that making human drivers redundant will for the big tech companies.

The innocents in question are human shields being used by Hamas to protect their objectives. The suffering of those humans and children should have resulted in a massive operation to dismantle Hamas' financial teeth. Instead hamas leaders still take all humanitarian aid and repurpose them against Israel. Qatar and Israel are the real perpetrators of this violence.

Its classic projection.

Good bye Jagmeet. Even though I never liked you as leader of NDP, your policies were a welcome change in an atrophied left ecosystem. Thank you.

Most media in Canada are owned by Americans. Can imagine why PP gets a free ride.

Yup. Learned it the hard way. My first account was with lemmy.ml and it got banned because of criticizing China. I consider myself leftist and the amount of censorship the tank triad do to ensure China numba wan is mind numbing.

Not even communists. I have had communists as friends during my grad and undergrad. Tank triad are a worser kind. They actively hinders any discussion against China. Tianenmen? Never happened. Mao's genocide? western propaganda. Chinese imperialism in Tibet? China reclaiming its historical boundaries. Basically China and USSR can never do anything wrong. If they did, its western propaganda.

Also why cant they defederate from lemmy.ml? That should be technically possible as the code is open source and can be fetched easily to run an instance?

thank you!

Now please expose the powertripping reddit admins as well.

Okay I am gonna bite. What is the R slur?

The biggest toxicity comes from the tank triad. I have blocked them and now it is peaceful.

I think lemmy.ml and hexbear are run from China which might be why content criticizing China can get you banned there.

Thats what happens when news is either controlled by the rich via share holding mechanism or controlled by the state. News organizations need to be owned by all the people so that they are able to challenge people in power.

I would like to take a crack at this. There is this recent trend going around with ghiblifying one's picture. Its basically converting a picture into ghibli image. If you had trained it on free sources, this is not possible.

Internally an LLM works by having networks which activate based on certain signals. When you ask it a certain question. It creates a network of similar looking words and then gives it back to you. When u convert an image, you are doing something similar. You cannot form these networks and the threshold at which they activate without seeing copyrighted images from studio ghibli. There is no way in hell or heaven for that to happen.

OpenAI trained their models on pirated things just like meta did. So when an AI produces an image in style of something, it should attribute the person from which it actually took it. Thats not whats happening. Instead it just makes more money for the thief.

Depends on the distribution of income that you are aiming for. If you are young and working in an in demand job like tech or finance you can mint money in the US. Capital gains are really low and you don't need a lot to be spent on insurance so you can go for the HSA. Things start changing once you are mid career and have kids. US is not a safe place for kids to grow up and the lifestyle is extremely stressful because you have no safety nets if you lose your job.

This is something every company which tries to operate in China have to do. It's not a surprise. China is a fascist country which requires organizations operating in China to claim Taiwan belongs to China, Tibet is part of China and Uygurs are not getting genocided. Hell even american govt. can be prosecuted because they abided by the same rules that China set.

She is American Chinese. It's difficult to date in California and not go for Chinese women if you are working in tech. Palo Alto is majorly Chinese. Indians are the other major ethnic group but they don't usually date outside. My point is him being married to Chinese is not indicative of his preference for China over USA.
