Holy shit your assumption says a lot about you. How do you think AI is going to "help impoverished people live better lives" exactly?

nomous ,

How do you think we got the 40hr work week?

nomous ,

Hope for the best but prepare for the worst!

nomous ,

Stop after your first 4 words and you'd be correct but all your other words are just your imagination and you trying to rationalize what you've already said.

nomous ,

he wants to stop it from helping impoverished people live better lives and all the other advantages simply because it didn’t exist when.he was young and change scares him

That's the part I take issue with, the weird probably-projecting assumption about people.

Have fun with the holier-than-thou moral high ground attitude about AI though, shits laughable.

nomous ,

Such a great show, hail to the king baby!

nomous ,

I can run a decent small engine for a decade and when it finally breaks I can rebuild it for $50 and get another decade out of it.

I have battery powered stuff for my home but for commercial use, literally thousands of work-hours, the battery tech isn't there yet.

nomous ,

A restaurant that doesn't have milk is a probably a shitty restaurant anyway.

What kind of kitchen doesn't have milk in it? Even the hardest-core vegan cafe would have some kind of passable milk substitute right?

Next thing you know they'll be saying they don't have salt.

Does everyone already have their guns, boots, and beans?

Nows the time, get a couple guns (a long one and a short one) and learn how to use them. Learn some basic first aid, you really just need to know how to stabilize someone. Start networking with like-minded people in your community. The police will not protect us, they'll happily club a senior citizen to the ground and shoot you in the face with a rubber bullet.

If a MAGAt caravan comes rolling through your (or your friends) neighborhood with bad intentions you don't want to be caught lacking.

Each person should assess their needs and prepare appropriately. Maybe a person wants one general purpose gun. Someone else might want a very long range rifle with a small sidearm as backup.

Frankly getting bogged down in the minutiae immediately (and talking gun control of all things) is being unable to see the forest for the trees and really emblematic of why "the left" can't get anything done. You don't want two guns that's great don't get two it's not a difficult concept. In case you missed the point your protection is on you so prepare accordingly.

It's like you've never actually fired a gun. Do you think shooting something 100 yards away is the same as shooting something 4 foot away?

I can see you don't like guns and that's fine, that means my comment was clearly not meant for you but for people who are willing to defend themselves when the worst case scenario becomes reality. Maybe you'd feel differently if you had a family to protect, but maybe you'd just equivocate and "ackshually" while they carted your trans kid off. I don't know and don't really care tbh, the post was for those paying attention. Have a nice day.

nomous ,

I feel like you can't read, that would explain why that's what you took from my comment, good riddance, dork.

nomous ,

I remember them getting haircuts and piercings and everyone being like "wtf?"

That and the Lars/Napster stuff really soured them for me.

nomous ,

I'm not much of a metal head anymore but it was the first genre I was really into when I started developing my own taste in music.

They're not really for me but they're definitely still one of the biggest bands in the world with millions of fans and I'm not gonna tell all those people they don't have any taste in music you know? To each their own.

nomous ,

The thing is, if you take care of it, the pan will outlive the owner. There's just not many products with that kind of life these days.

nomous ,

He makes some tasty dishes!

nomous ,

As I've aged and having been around for both fads I feel like a waist that fits but with very roomy legs is probably the most comfortable.

nomous ,

For a moment I wasn't sure if you were talking about the people in the picture or some of the users here.

nomous ,

They put stickers on every pump everywhere warning about static electricity causing fires. Do you think they just put those on there for fun? I bet you're not vaccinated either, idiot.

nomous ,

"Something else is more dangerous therefore the less dangerous thing doesn't exist." - You

nomous ,

How do you feel about vaccinations? Is that something you do?

nomous ,

"I ignore clear warnings because I haven't personally experienced the issue so it must not exist." - You

nomous ,

Yeah I have youtube too I can watch car crashes, not sure what point you think you're making there. Do you wear a seat belt? Do you drink and drive?

nomous , (edited )

Alright, have fun being an angry little whatever you are. I have better things to do than warn you about your car burning up, enjoy the rest of your day, keep full coverage on your cars or something. Have a nice one.

nomous ,

Brother I won the argument when you started typing, I really don't care to engage on this topic anymore, have a nice day.

nomous ,

Also the other user seems to be in the UK which I believe already has stronger worker protections and better access to healthcare than the US; two major things a union in America would push for.

nomous ,

I just listened to the BtB: How Conservatism Won today. He breaks it all down and shows us how we got to where we are. Laid out in a nice chronological, easy to digest order connecting dot to dot; it's very enlightening.

I highly recommend it to everyone interested in what's happening in America right now. Robert Evans is a gem, the definition of an actual journalist, and the kind of people The Left in America needs.

Leather still can't be beat for footwear, a good shoe/boot will break-in to your foot, it's literally thick skin.

Leather jackets are basically windproof too.

Please, for the love of God, VOTE! (pawb.social)

I don't like Biden either, but anyone with half a brain knows there are two choices in the 2020 election. If we had a sane voting system, voting third party might be worth it, but as it stands, no one but you knows your favorite candidate exists and unless you want to become their campaign manager that will still be true in...

nomous ,

I've had "leftists" here on lemmy act like Stein and West are legitimate candidates. She hasn't gotten any traction any other time she's run and I'm not sure why this time would be any different.

nomous ,

Let's suppose there are going to be genocides, what's better, 5 or 10?

nomous ,

Thanks for not answering a very simple question.

nomous ,

Oh, I was having the conversation because of her failed run in 2012.

nomous ,

I agree, unfortunately .036% isn't a winning percentage.

nomous ,

Hey I'm sure Trump will release the sales records right?

Right after he tells us who's buying up all the shares of Trump Media & Technology Group that just went public but just BEFORE he releases his taxes.

I'm all for giving the benefit of the doubt inititally but those days are long long past. He's definitely using this to funnel money into his campaign.

nomous ,

You know fascism has an actual definition right?

nomous ,

It's so weird to see it framed as an either/or. Voting is the absolute bare minimum you can do to participate. So yeah go vote, and also organize your friends and network with like minded people around you and work towards the change you want. I doubt any of the ideologically pure abstainers here have even ever turned out to vote much less actually worked on a campaign.

nomous ,

Lotta hyperbole and angry assumptions about who's privileged and politically uneducated in this conversation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism

nomous ,

Like I said, absolute minimum you can do.

nomous ,

They also compared Japanese U.S. internment camps during WWII to the current suppression of Uyghurs in China so maybe take what they say with a grain of salt.

nomous ,

Well, not "communist" capital C, but certainly socialist, or at least with socialist leanings.

For example private land ownership isn't really a thing in China, making essentially all natural resources defacto state-owned. It's actually a really interesting idea IMO.

nomous ,

You think Japanese camps were to kill a culture?

nomous ,

Do you think the current treatment of Uyghurs by China is comparable to treatment of Japanese people in US internment camps during WWII?

nomous ,

A major problem with media and algorithms today is exactly as you said. Engagement is engagement and they don't really care if you're raging or agreeing as long as you're Interacting.

nomous ,

I feel about Pizza the way I feel about burgers, put anything you want on there, I'll try it.

nomous ,

Among other things.

If it only showed you what you interacted with the most it'd be less of an issue but that's not how it works. Thats not even how it works on YouTube.

nomous ,

And all bi men are gay but won't admit it. Bi-erasure is a thing and the alphabet mafia is hardly innocent of it.

It'd be really cool if people could mind their own fucking business if it doesn't involve them.

nomous ,

Yeah seems like some yogurt squirting up there might be something at least a few people are into.
