It is a politically savvy and ethically correct move. Really nice when those line up.

The argument I'm making is that we should not call them chemicals when they don't have the capacity to make chemical reactions.

An analogy could be how we use the word weed. We call unwanted plants weeds. If there is mint growing in your yard and you don't want it, it's a weed. If you sell your house and the next owner likes it that mint is not a weed anymore. It's still mint (element) but no longer a weed (chemical).

You make a good point. I should have said "things in the plasma state" should not be considered chemicals.

Hydrogen and Helium are elements, I guess it depends on what your definition of a chemical is.

The reason I'm saying plasma is not a chemical is because it is too energetic to make atom to atom bonds which I feel is the basis for chemistry. If something cannot interact chemically I feel we should not consider it a chemical.

Please note that I did not look up any formal definitions, just expressing my reasoning for my argument. (Aka I'm probably wrong).

I think plasma isn't a chemical since the elements can't form molecules. So the sun and lightning aren't chemicals.

Suspiciously timed post, right after they announced a release date for GTA 6.

Humans gotta human!

I get the sentiment, but this is a pretty strawman argument.

But we can't get a database for firearms?

Hard to tell if this is a proposal to fight over hardware or an offer for free stuff.

I choose to believe the former because it makes me chuckle more.

No need to be scared. It's a loving relationship.

What is the easiest way to look that information up?

I heard a hypothesis that the first human made consciousness will be an AI algorithm designed to monitor and coordinate other AI algorithms which makes a lot of sense to me.

Our consciousness is just the monitoring system of all our bodies subsystems. It is most certainly an emergent phenomenon of the interaction and management of different functions competing or coordinating for resources within the body.

To me it seems very likely that the first human made consciousness will not be designed to be conscious. It also seems likely that we won't be aware of the first consciousnesses because we won't be looking for it. Consciousness won't be the goal of the development that makes it possible.

Nonono, you see it has factory in the name so it's different.

Thanos' plan was so fucking stupid. He wanted to eliminate half of the population to reduce the lack of resources. This completely ignores how populations grow exponentially and will be back to the original quantity in a generation or two... His plan kills half the population while not actually fixing the resource problem.

Should have just snapped his fingers for unlimited resources. What a dum dum.

Can someone provide a summary on what this means? I thought there were malicious exploits in this. Why is it back up and the perpetrator unbanned?

Yay! We get to rename the drink "Irish Car Bomb" to "MAGA Tantrum". At least something good came out of all this.

The hadrean period (lava earth) was approximately as long as there have been vertebrates. So pretty long!

Personally I think the biggest hurdle will be moderation and defederation as it pertains to the first amendment. I believe there was already a supreme Court case where blocking a user on Twitter (from an official govt account) was deemed unconstitutional. This precedent might mean a govt instance is not allowed to defederate with any other server unless they defederate with all(?) This is pure speculation on my part, but I can guarantee it would go to the courts.

It's a bold move, but the payout is a happy professor!
