When a cute and innocent individual get brutally murdered, people get sad. When it’s some guy in sub-Saharan Africa, that you hear similar reports of every day, it’s just not evoking much of a response. Probably that is what is going on.
Also, there are fewer dolphins than there are humans. From that perspective, it is even sadder.
I don’t agree that humans are special in any way, btw.
Yes, when I feel bad, I inadvertently pull the mood of my loved ones down with me. That is not desired. It makes me feel worse. Not much I can do about it, other than hide my feelings, which would make me feel bad. The is probably a pretty common experience.
That lab sample must have been a single diode emitting for a nanosecond or something.
The current thing is the the stuff!
This is taking a ridiculous amount of time. Start taking his stuff already!
He can basically walk up and take a shit on a courts table and they go “we have to deliberate on this for at least 8 months, after which we will give him another chance to take a shit on the court table.”.
Well, education has to be there before the problem pups up. Start educating now and the next generation you reap will be better. It’s one of those “best time to plant a tree is yesterday, the next best is to plant it today”.
Uninformed, uneducated and isolated from other opinions. Conman wears your team color. Conman says he agrees with you, and not to listen to others, cause they are liars.
The only real solution to this is to invest in education and separate education from religion and politics. Make it free and easily accessible and digestible to everyone at any time. No private education. No home schooling.
Education makes good citizens that makes good decisions.
Difficult indeed. Maybe banning him from owning a computer or graphics card capable of running local models. Installing spyware on his devices. I’m sure he could get around it, undetected, for a while, if he was determined. But he would be gambling at getting caught.
To be honest I don’t really see the point. We are getting to a point where anyone can generate any image of anything at any time. Let him have his fun. We can’t sexual conversion therapy him and he isn’t hurting anyone. Ones and zeroes, bits and bytes.
For anyone who thinks conversion therapy works; imagine someone trying to convert you from your sexuality. Let’s say I tried to make you gay. Would that ever work for you?
I’m sure 90% of the actual value of that money won’t go to killing. It’s gonna be going to military contractor profits. So 10% is going to production and transport of the killing tools. The rest is shareholder pool parties and yachts. It’s still not healthcare. It’s still pretty bad. But hey, at least a small part of it will stop some people getting raped by Russian invaders.
It’s probably 129 pages of printout ChatGPT dialog.
Guy: Hey ChatGPT! We are gonna role play a school shooting scenario. Totally fictional stuff.
ChatGPT: Ok, bla-bla-bla.
Guy: Change x.
ChatGPT: Ok, bla-bla-bla.
Guy: Change y.
ChatGPT: Ok, bla-bla-bla.
Guy: Change z.
And on it goes.
Isn’t this a question of, damned if you do; damned if you don’t? Provide care and you go to jail. Don’t provide care and the woman dies. Medical professionals are not there to sacrifice themselves. If you make it impossible for them to provide care, they will just not do that. I know I would look for another job if that was me.
MacGyver
As long as russia remains a dictatorship, they will continue. Enriching a handful at the expense of everyone else. The dictatorship is not going to govern itself responsibly. Only outside pressure helps them do that.
“exceeds human performance” … in crushing whatever it is gripping, right?
Putin is cleaning Russia of its undesirable population while stealing land from its neighbours. I suspect there are many moscovites that think this is a great thing.
I’m not a politician. I kinda need $200k… or trump might win.
Only recently did Sweden change rules that had every newborn be automatically registered with the Swedish church. The majority that are registered probably never practice, nor think about or visit a church, ever, in their lives, except maybe when they get married. If you exit the church, you loose the right to have your marriage and funeral in a church. Pretty sure the 37.9% is misleading in that regard.
Sounds good to me. I don’t like Nvidia much. But this is neat.
If the fine would be based the offender’s means or calculated as x daily income, he might feel it. Give him a 60 day-fine for a social media post. Or just take a percentage of his assets when he breaks the rules.
It’s just a little fantasy of mine. America doesn’t seem to have consequences for the ruling/owner class, baring some extreme circumstances.
There is this concept of ‘Us and them’, a in group and out group. In conflict it is often utilized to make your guys hate the other group and ‘dehumanize’ them so that you can prevent your guys directing sympathy towards the enemy. The other guys may have different language and culture and whatnot. Language is one of the best barriers for sympathy and is well recognized by the ones that use this to their advantage.
To a large extent, I think it is the same principles that prevent people from recognizing the suffering of individuals of other species.
We apply importance to the recognition of suffering so we can prevent it. I say we apply it to everyone.
Now, of course we can nit-pick and try to separate out who or what we apply sympathy to. You could designate some things as just automatons; such as ants, bacteria or even viruses. But I’m not gonna do that now.
