clearly, Fauci created COVID which is a bioweapon that isn’t serious enough to employ biodefense measures against including barriers (masking) and immunizations (vaccinate), but serious enough to have triggered a recession that the present trump slump is fixing, etc. So yeah clearly Fauci’s fault.

nah, they don’t even know which direction to point those boomboom sticks, but probably Biden

I’m glad y’all in the news are upset that it’s happening to white people from rich countries.

If trump knew this couldn’t be more DEI. I mean, he’s working diligently of improving the representation of (foreign) white folks among those abused by border agents.

This has been happening for years to Hispanic people, and much worse.

And the majority of Hispanic men still voted for trump…

Only children think that discussions are settled by “internet approval points”, and it’s a very nice demonstration of my take above, so thanks!:)

Exactly! It’s all about knowing its limitations and how to use it. If one believes AI responses over their own judgment, they lose, if one uses it to “do all the work for them”, they lose, if one uses it to steal artwork from others, well, we all lose. But it tells much more about humans than AI itself.

It’s an insight and integrity issue.

these are the humanities people. those with labs and funding will take much longer to leave.

Republicans don’t understand “soft power” in any way.

They have plenty experience with “soft power” in their bedrooms, hence the compensation.

Nah. Humans are “garbo” in general.

While AI is boosting productivity and is amazing, it also appeals to our worst inner instincts of giving in to authority and outsourcing and taking credit for others’ work.

Edit2: forgot this is the luddite thread:D

"Usha Vance was reportedly scheduled to attend a dogsled race in the foreign country, sharing in a video statement on Instagram that she was “reading all about it with my children” and was looking “forward to meeting” the island’s residents.

“I’m also coming to celebrate the long history of mutual respect and cooperation between our nations and to express hope that our relationship will only grow stronger in the coming years,” the second lady said. “See you soon!”"

These people are actual fucking sociopaths

I have zero expectation that Tesla RoboTaxi will arrive this summer as promised.

RoboTaxis will also have to “navigate” the Fashla hate. Not many will be eager to risk their lives with them

To me the weird part is that one of LOTR’s main themes is that power corrupts.

WTF is up with these defense companies named after LOTR items?!

It’s all good, your third reply was actually the 14th post on the very bottom of this pile, sorry that we wasted each other’s time. Unfortunately there is nothing new about the fact that people living in functioning social democracies surrounded by wealthy neighbors can actually downsize without risking their children’s education, or healthcare.

My problem?

…and I live in Denmark (or some other country where people don’t default on medical debt).

This thread is wild.

yup. many people don’t understand that while salaries are lower in the EU, your taxes cover actually life-changing governmental services the US doesn’t. (i personally know both perspectives)

I don’t know why you’re looking to argue about it but I’m not interested. I simply stated that where I live 100k a year would take you so much further than it does in the US.

it took you 5 posts to tell us you’re not in the US. it’s simply impossible to interpret your takes without context. you’d need twice as much money in the US to have a comparable lifestyle.

but it’s misleading through and through. what’s the median household income where you live?

5 room house I rented

as a single, barely surviving?
