Fuck. That. Fuck the cards I’m dealt. I’ll make my own fucking cards. Play them how I want. And if I have to, I’ll make my own fucking game (creative commons licence, of course, in case anyone else is into it).
Limits are meant to be broken, not embraced.
Literally what the movie is about
Watch The Sound of Metal, it’s very good
I dunno man, just look at ol’ rudie guiliani and mike lindell (the pillow guy). They’re both broke as shit, ruined their lives. Now all they have left is grift
Tried to watch it, the casual attitude towards rape turned me off.
The everything is already awful enough without us having to carry around a device that connects us to all the awful everywhere we go.
nobody would care
Information Overload. The march doesn’t matter. The people who did the upsetting thing have already gone on to do several more upsetting things by the time we’ve started marching against the first one. The people reporting about the upsetting thing miss the point but it doesn’t matter because nobodies actually paying attention, it’s just fluff on in the background. The white noise we need to go about our day maintaining some false sense of “staying up to date” when it’s impossible to do. The torrent of information comes from all over the globe and never stops growing. Even if everything is suddenly perfect in your neighborhood, city, state, or country, it doesn’t matter because there’s a genocide somewhere else, and the pope died, and there’s a famine and a new study that says the sweet treats you like are going to kill you and the stock market is down but it’s back up by the time you check and you should’ve bought the dip so you could actually retire but you were too busy ignoring a TV while looking at bad news on your phone and eating a sweet treat because nothing feels real anymore and you just need a hit of dopamine before you start panicking and reach for the gun in the nightstand to put a bullet in your brain because at least the bullet will be real and the silence afterwards won’t be temporary.
Because he is so damned competent. A true leader that cares about his crew, and who respects life and people. He’s a student of history, an amateur archeologist, and he has his own damn saddle.
Although she was sterilized during her medical care, scientists believed that she had been capable of reproduction.
In August 2023, Scientists asked the caretakers at Mantenedouro São Braz for fresh pictures of Dogxim. The caretakers replied that she had died six months prior to the request, being recently sterilized.[9] The time and nature of her death were never reported.
Wow great job, guys.
Veterinarian and conservationist Ferrari recalled that the canid had “no indications of any health problems” after her recovery.[13] Six months after the injury, she had been noted as completely healed.[2] The Brazilian government issued concerns on the cause of death.[9] The Secretariat of Environment and Infrastructure (SEMA) is conducting the investigation.
I mean, the more money you have, the less compassionate you are. Having an abundance literally shrinks the part of your brain responsible for empathy. Essentially, excess money causes brain damage. These people at the top of the corporate ladder are, all of them, literally brain damaged. It’s foolish to think that they will ever choose to reverse course, they know only one thing: they want the number in their account to go up. And they’d do literally anything to stop it from going down.
“Eat the rich” isn’t some anarchist punk slogan, it’s instruction for a healthy species.
I mean, yeah, you’re right. However, the amount of jobs that robots like this would displace is astronomical. Like, the U.S. trucking industry is one of the biggest employers in the United States, so if ever we were to get truly automated trucking, the job losses would be catastrophic to millions of Americans. One can assume that something would have to be done to help ease the transition, likely in the form of stimulus checks and subsidized education. But that’s just for one industry.
These autonomous robots could be deployed in seemingly every industry, resulting in the potential loss of hundreds of millions of jobs (assuming widespread adoption and construction, that is). One would think that in order for society to continue, vast socialist reforms would have to be undertaken. The alternative would be something akin to having a couple people with the wealth and power of todays superpower nations, while the rest of humanity lives in abject squalor. I’d like to think that humans wouldn’t let things get that bad…
but even as I type that out I know it’s a lie 😥 ugh. Fucking humans, man.
The NYT article talks about how a technician in a call center is operating it now, and whilst operating, their systems are gathering information to guide the robot in future un-manned tasks. Much like an LLM analyzes thousands of essays in order to “write” it’s own, so to will these robots analyze thousands of hours of technician-guided activities in order to do it autonomously in the future.
Very interesting, and very much the same as how they “taught” self-driving cars to operate. One can imagine that if efforts continue in these fields, it’s only a matter of time before we actually do have fully automated robot butlers, that only need the occasional reboot, or technician support. This would be a massive boon to literally every service industry, from transporting patients in the hospital, working in a warehouse, assembly techs, to waiters and waitresses. Shit, how soon until they deploy them on the battlefield?
Considering they have robot cafes operating in Japan already, we could see this happen sooner than we think, if the companies choose to share all their training data, that is.
The only question that remains, is would this lead to a new era of prosperity and free time, or would this just be another tool to further enrich the entrenched capital?
Absolutely! Fred Hampton was all about building a rainbow coalition
After watching this movie, and researching Fred Hampton afterwards, I became a member of the peaceful off-shoot of the Black Panther Party, now called The Collective Black People Movement. They do good work with local unions and political activism. Consider supporting them.
Copland.
Read this article and tell me you think these cops are all 100% clean
This movie made me want to be an epidemiologist it was so good
And in 2004 he was killed all over again from being portrayed by fuckin collin ferral
Maybe in this trolley problem, someone pulls the lever. Stanislav Petrov did the right thing, perhaps others will too.
Fukin’ awesome. Science! I can’t help but wonder what his pulse felt/sounded like 😶 Would it be just a continuous “woosh” or would it even have a “beat?” His EKG must’ve looked WILD. And knowing it can work for that long… well, who’s to say it doesn’t become the preferred option in the future!
The fact that California, a state with THIRTEEN TIMES MORE PEOPLE than Mississippi, has less than half the number of traffic fatalities is mind blowing. Mississippi is just 30% of the landmass that California represents, and yet it gets more than double the amount of traffic fatalities.
Looking at the left side of the graph, the trend is easily recognizable. Drunk angry and repressed, poverty stricken republicans will drive drunk like it’s the right to bear arms. The further right you go, the more democratic the state.
