Plus they often feel like they're placed to catch people who drift upto 35 on the downhill section of a road that looks like it should be national speed limit anyway.

If they didn't feel like a way for them to make money people would accept them easier.

Personally I'm a rare sunday driver so they don't really affect me but I absolutely see how people can be annoyed by them

That's just going to put up the cost of living and result in more waste as less efficient replacements are put in place labelled temporary measures, also money will get spent on security rather than modernization of facilities - new builds got example using security focused design rather than energy efficient design.

It would be better to crowdfund the development of open source tools and products which are more ecologically sustainable while also being cheaper and better than the current option then collectively support and popularize it to put the prior company out of business.

Localized production of globally developed community products is how we actually beat capitalism, only problem is currently everyone wants to be rambo and no one wants to work as a cog in a citizen science r&d project, it's not as sexy.

Subsidiaries enabling a more rapid transition away from fossil fuels by lowering the cost to consumers is a great thing, and what's even more impressive is they're also using subsidized projects to install high-speed or low cost rail lines all over the world.

It's great that there's a country working so hard to help is turn the corner on climate change especially as they're focusing on making life better for the working classes. The country has lots of problems but we all do, they're also doing great things which I think we could learn a lot from them.

Six year old, easy choice - do something mildly special for a kid that age and get on TV then when they ask you a question the answer is 'well it was a dream i had, there was a pale horse riding towards us snd the horses name was Tod, it was going to run over everyone but an angel told me to call out to the faithful and save them....'

Kid can't even read and from an atheist family then starts quoting bible and making up complex visions and messages no child could ever create - plus very clear predictions that come perfectly true, knowledge of science before it's discovered... Admit it, you'd get sucked into my cult.

Could have a huge portion of the world believing, teach them the need for luxury gay space communism then when we're all living in utopia be like 'oh btw it was just a time travel prank lol'

I understand why it would seem unimpressive someone that doesn't do something like research or programming in their daily life but when you do those things it's very clear the difference they're already making.

The thing I'm coding at the moment for example I've been using it to tear ideas for image processing scripts, it'd have taken me a day to do one before maybe longer but even the free gpt can have an idea working after half an hour or fiddling. Being able to focus on coming up with ideas rather than the finer details of implementation.

We're going to see people get used to using them properly and their uses spread into many other areas of life - you will be customising games UI and making complex control input using natural language tools 'Linux, remove the clock and put a system resource thermometer there instead for whatever bits are most likely to overheat' ten years from now you'll look back and wonder how people did anything without ai just like people often wonder how we lived without internet and mobile phones

Which is good because offering a job to someone then lowering the price you pay them after they've done it is evil regardless of it you've decided that you don't like the company the person doing the task is working for

But it's possibly a factor in the minds of executives who decide if it's a good time to squeeze for more profit. They might have decided higher gas prices will push more people into buying ev which will fuel further infrastructure spending leading to a steeper adoption curve thus lower long term profits for oil companies.

So your original claim? You've forgotten about that and your not going to respond to anything I've said but will continue to throw out emotive but meaningless statements?

You've purposely tried to redirect the topic to avoid the very clear fact that the conspiracy theory claim you made is based on them doing things that you think they should be doing.

You just spoke about the current conflict as worse than what was happening previously, the article you used up back up your conspiracy theory that Israel created Hamas is based on the argument they should have had a similar reaction sooner and that it should be more extreme.

You say genocide which I presume you count as starting before this current conflict and is based on the flimsy arguement they don't let enough aid though, etc but you also want to use the flimsy arguement that they're letting too much aid through which is propping up a terrorist organisation.

The reality that you don't rely know or care about what you're talking about is very clear, you're throwing around buzzwords and meme talking points you haven't even thought about and have no idea of how they relate to the wider situation. You've decided your team thinks Israel is bad and you're on a quest to amplify that because you feel it will make you look like a passionate and intellectual person - unfortunately these hamfisted and empty arguments you're making just make you look like a gullible blowhard.

Ok so you're against Israel providing work permits to Palestinians?

Hamas was also included in discussions about increasing the number of work permits Israel granted to Gazan laborers, which kept money flowing into Gaza, meaning food for families and the ability to purchase basic products.

From one of your articles, they're literally complaining that Israel allows Palestinians to have jobs in Israel and saying that this practice of not totally starving out Palestine is proping up Hamas.

Since Netanyahu returned to power in January 2023, the number of work permits has soared to nearly 20,000.

The article is angry at him for something you almost certainly use the opposite of as a reason to call it an apartheid state or open air prison or whatever, this is something you surely think should happen right? Palestinians should be able to work in Israel, right?

They go on to talk about how he shouldn't be letting aid money into Gaza, etc

And do you agree with this from the article?

One thing is clear: The concept of indirectly strengthening Hamas — while tolerating sporadic attacks and minor military operations every few years — went up in smoke Saturday.

They argue that anything less than total military destruction of Hamas is equivalent to support, they want a boodier and more brutal war which is why they're saying the claim in the headline - surely you don't agree with that? Surely you don't think that Israel shouldn't let aid into Gaza and should attack more violently? Therefore surely you don't agree with the claim in the title.

You're parroting headlines without reading the article, probably because you've heard the claim repeated by so many people who also didn't bother to read the article and just assumed it validated their existing view.

Yes that's exactly what I said and exactly everything that went into my thinking, congratulations you're exactly the sort of binary thinking ideolog that makes any sort of political progress impossible on the left.

That's such a nonsense question even before the reality that both sides are killing innocent children, the most over used meme on the internet is the trolly problem but you're still trying to act like you've never heard of it. Yes, if inaction results in a worse outcome then action is permissible from a moral stand point.

Get a Bluetooth keyboard they're great, little fold out one size of your phone or a tiny or one that straps to your arm... So many different types, I even saw one built into a phone case

Do you know that's a baseless conspiracy you're pedaling?

If that was the qualification for losing the right to the land then the Palestinians would have lost it long ago

I really have to agree that it's posts like this that made me give up on left wing politics, in certainly not right wing but I see no hope for the left until fundermental problems are fixed which I don't believe politics or media is capable of addressing.

Further I am absolutely convinced a large portion of the loudest voices on climate change are so obsessed because they desperately want it to be the big doom that fucks up all the impressive things other people are achieving.

Yes I know that's what you want to happen but it's not very likely, we're not really short of anything that we don't have a dozen other options for.

We'll have oceanic floating factories harvesting sunlight and turning sea water into jet fuel and carbon fibre Christmas toys before consumerism gets close to admitting defeat.

If you want to change society I'm afraid you have to do the hard thing of coming up with a better idea and convincing people to try it.

The thing is that I don't really think anyone does, it's a buzz word construed by traditional media to let them draw hate on to modern competition without admitting they're even worse.

Fit example Kim Kardashian is an influencer unless she's on old media then she's a celebrity, Hank Green is an influencer on tiktok but if was on traditional media he's a science educator... None of these jobs are new it's just that they're not controlled by corporations to the same degree so the rich have invested some money in making you hate them.

I mean yeah, far more than are coming out of Marvel, Disney and Hollywood in general.

This is a fantastic idea, here in the UK we've just been dumping raw sewage in the rivers and poisoning the coast because it'd cut into water companies record profits to treat it (also Brexit chemical shortages or something)- if we can turn the poop into something useful that can sell then the won't let a drop off that precious filth go to waste.
