I do wonder whether it would be possible to use drones with explosives to blow these things up, ideally before people get there.

today i learned. and it alignes so well with how in medieval times, only firstborns were expected to inherit the family farm and have children themselves. At least that's how it was in many areas.

I always assumed that homophobia is about a subconscious fear of spreading diseases and stuff, as that's more common in gay people by a lot.

Uuh that's a very difficult thing.

It's like wearing agressive perfume full of hormomes. It might cause somebody to get an erection but it's still hella uncomfortable and annoying. Not really consensual and i see why it pisses people off.

no they were spot on. it just takes a while for the change to take effect in the outside world.

actually yes, figuratively is the word that i should have used.

The article is well-written. I wonder how many employees will still be needed in 10+ years from now.

In case you haven't heard about it, the labor market is regulated by supply and demand. That means, if there's less demand, but supply stays equal, wages decline. That's what people experience for the last decades. If this trend continues, demand for human labor might become very weak. That's why people for one can no longer rely only on the incomes through the labor (wages), but need good safety nets (Universal Basic Income, UBI).

And also, demand for labor is another way of saying "how much are humans needed to perform tasks". What if humans aren't needed? Will people be ok with that?

You don’t need much of the things they market to you.

Today i learned i don't need food ...

Also considering how physicists cant stand biologists and probably vice versa.

only if you're immature

exactly this. i suspect that in any parallel universe with god, there comes a time of enormous stress right before the eternal paradise that awaits behind it. that is because we have to be waken up, and that can only be done through a rough time.

so, in a certain sense, the current circumstances of long work hours aren't so much avoidable as it is an unavoidable part of history that we have to go through. As such, "we" are the consciousness that carries us through these difficult times.

be glad you weren't born on a desolate island surrounded only by sharks and inhabited only by poisonous food

point is, don't compare yourself to the worst alternative. labor hours spiked around 1800-1900, but were significantly lower before and after that.

feminism: now women can get exploited too

the keyword you need is "DDoS protection" i guess

it keeps the server from getting overloaded due to too many requests

i heard a story that monks used to not sign their works, as they saw themselves as one of many, merely guided by the holy spirit. and that really really really vibes with me. i'm nobody.

What's bothering you?

• Is it to give out data for AI training? I guess you can't fundamentally protect against this, except by limiting how much content is provided to each address.
• Or is it the resource strain that it causes on your server? In that case i recommend limiting how much a single client / IP address can request in a day.

People give me shit for getting hung up on specifics, but remember that the majority of Germans really didn’t know what was going on at the camps till the very end of the war when they were shown film evidence of camps being liberated.

I don't actually want to say this but the USA was founded on genocide. It literally killed the native americans to take their land, same as hitler attempted to do with the polish people.

I just want to mention that there's a series of difficulties:

• practically, a good 20% - 30% are still backing trump, especially among "republicans for life". It would be easy to topple a government if 99% of the population despised it, but if 20% back it, it's difficult because it can retract and re-collect strength.
• normally, conflicts are decided by who can stay solvent longer, i.e. who has more money. normally, that would be blue states, but if trump can just print money through the federal reserve, then that kinda makes that point more questionable. blue states kinda would have to start using their own currency, or some foreign currency like the canadian dollar or the mexican pesos, to be fiscally independent from washington. that's a logistic challenge to pull off so quickly. but it can be done.
• then there's a shitload of cultural issues. the vietnam kicked the american's butt because they were fierce and willing to die for their cause, because they were willing to die for their community. america doesn't have communities like that, america is very atomistic, i.e. everybody fights for themselves. establishing a good sense of community is a whole lot of work and takes a long time. i don't see it happening overnight.

The civil war that follows isn't even the difficult part.

The difficult part is coming up with a vision for the time after the civil war. And that's gonna be difficult. If americans couldn't agree on a policy before 2025, why would they be able to come up with one after that?
