the techbros that think that with sufficiently advanced AI we could solve climate change are so stupid. like, we might not have a perfect solution, but we have ideas on how to start to make things better (less car-centric cities, less meat and animal products, more investment in public transport and solar), and it gets absolutely ignored. why would it be different when an AI gives the solution? unless they want the “eat fat-free food and you will be thin” solution to climate change, in which we change absolutely nothing of our current situation but it is magically ecological

same, but i am go between “he can’t be that stupid, he must know he is lying” and “oh, he is that stupid, he might believe the nonsense he says”

If he thinks that any positive change in an election year is election interference, then that would explain 2020. Maybe it is not that he wanted the pandemic or that he was too incompetent to just let experts help us. He was too concerned with election interference! /s

“I’m the greatest of all time. Maybe greater even than Elvis . Because Elvis had a guitar. I don’t have a guitar. Elvis had a guitar. I don’t have the privilege of a guitar.”

that’s it. he has my vote. /s

yeah, soon they will “blur the lines” between immigrant and non-whites too

will it cover treatment for when a tech overlord decides to cut your hand on a whim?

snowballing

yeah, it is not snowballing, it is Network Effect. for the people who want to use a twitter-like social network, the value is in the many other people using it.

but, as you are doing, telling people to leave is the correct move. because for every person that the network loses, the network loses value for everyone (the network effect going in reverse)

that is true, we had to change administrators one time and it was not an easy process. my comment was mostly that the blanket statement of “politics in an apartment complex are worse that an HOA” is not true, it depends on the building and the HOA

Having lived both in buildings where my family owned one apartment, and houses where there was an HOA, i can tell you that the politics of the apartment building was not even close to how insne an HOA is. it was mostly taking about the budget, prioritizing repairs, and security

So when Biden and the party said 50 was enough to do stuff…

The Inflation Reduction Act passed only because of that extra senator. So it was true. 50 is good enough to do stuff. 50 is not good enough to do everything, only as progressive as the least progressive “democract” (which at the time were Manchin and Sinema

honestly, even if the house is turned in november and they vote to impeach them, the next step is trial at the senate. it requires 2/3 of the votes, so they won’t get convicted and removed

Water is almost 90% oxygen by mass. It is over for OP

not OP, but according to some of those definitions (cambridge, collins, longman), NYC would be the only metropolis in the US, as it is the US’ largest, busiest, and most important city.

Trump touted his recently formed TikTok account and accused Harris of having to “PAY FOR HER FAKE ENGAGEMENT” on social media.

since it is always projection, we can know 100% for a fact that Trump is paying for fake engagement on social media

Well, he had a brainworm. Fortunately for him, the worm starved to death before it could make much damage

legit, if youtube ever beats ublock origin, i’ll just stop watching youtube

yeah, there is no way the measurement instrument was precise enough to make that last decimal significant

oh, i understand why he was disqualified. but like you, it doesn’t make any sense as to why he would lie. i guess you can trust a brain worm to fill a form accurately?

i still don’t get it. it is not like you need to reside in NY to be able to appear in the NY presidential ballot

“soft landing” implies the economy went down

yeah. the afetrmath of the COVID recession, it is not a big mystery what they mean
