We should fund military in space, says guy funded by military in space

It will still raise eyebrows because that’s not how it’s said. The English language is full of similar spellings that sounds differently and people would raise their eyebrows at you there too. Most languages are like this actually.

This is such a weird comment to make. Why is the stat dumb? There are many words to use to describe a stat, dumb doesn’t mean anything. You don’t even explain why.

How does that help me blame consumption on others? You’re confusing “i want billionaires to stop polluting too” with “I can pollute because look at this dumb stat”. And we all know where you got the latter and why you think people are like that. Projections as usual.

Why be a billionaire apologist? Whatever you want billionaires don’t help you achieve it, and are arguably worse for you in every way. It’s really weird to defend them, especially on this topic

I was watching the taxi thing, and they didn’t know on which sentence to cheer. Some would cheer when others cheered for no reason, but always sporadically between small groups.

It’s a cult and they reinforce their worth in their echo chamber (cyber chamber? No echo chambers work).

They know taxpayers will foot the bill and they will make astronomical amounts of money off it. Plus they get a stranglehold on energy.

Tech companies aren’t going to buy power plants and enshitify them. Allowing the tech giants at the table at all is far passed enshitification of democracy (and your tax dollars). Governments should have built the energy using the people’s money, and profited off businesses using extreme amounts of it (bringing a lot of dollars back). Instead they’ll use the corporate money to build energy, and profiting off the people who need to pay the corporation

Subsidies are important. You pay enough tax dollars that some of those should be used to help the country be stronger economically. You don’t want all farmers to disappear from the US because China can make food with slaves for waaaay cheaper.

The problem is theyre laughing at you helping their friends with that money, and calling it capitalism. It’s socialism for corporations using the people’s money really

Basically what happened with meme stonks too. The rich want to keep people from playing their game…

Not so huge, he’s a billionaire.

In theory he’s allowed to:

• mistreat his workers
• not pay his bills
• pump and dump stocks
• undermine the worlds help to Ukraine by messing with their internet for Russia
• Steal subsidies for EVs and lying about the capabilities
• Bribing officials to get public transport contracts and never fulfill them
• bribe voters / election interference
• defame everyone on his platform with misinformation and supports domestic terrorism

There’s plenty more, he’s probably heavily cooking the books at Tesla too.

Not just that, but it’s so they can profit from even more taxpayer subsidies. That’s why theyre trying to convince us it’s all for humanity.

In a way, i think we’re all still there

Imagine if we had 10s of billions a year to drag all these companies and governments into long court battles for OUR rights. Corporations should be second.

Because it was a pandemic fueled rush. Everyone thought gaming was the best bet because we’re all at home. Companies like meta, Microsoft etc… grew astronomically on tax payer subsidies making it even better money. Other companies tried to invest or spin up game divisions.

Now the party is over, it doesn’t even matter if these games are good or have potential. They put the sunk cost in the “pandemic’s fault” spreadsheet, and take all the liabilities and costs from the expense spreadsheet. It looks fantastic on paper to investors, the real numbers dont really matter.

Same here (15 years). I work in all sorts of frameworks and languages. I normally would have just googled a given question to see the code i need, paste it in with everything that’s wrong, and fix it to my liking. I know what I’m doing I was just missing the specific words i havent used in a couple years, i still understand them. Copilot just avoid me opening google, clicking through some bad SEO, passing the bad answers, and doing that a couple more times to bring in everything I need. It’s a google formatter.

It’s also exactly like searching google. If you ask “is this cancer” you’ll find cases where it’s cancer, if you ask “is this not cancer” youll find cases where it’s cancer. You can’t trust it in that way, but you can still quickly parse the internet. I make juniors explain their code so even if they paste it in, they’re kind force to research it more to make sure they get it; it’s on the reviewers now to train llm kiddos.

It’s like when you say something is full. Double full doesn’t mean anything, but there’s still a difference between full of marbles and full of sand depending what you’re trying to deduce. There’s functional applications for this comparison. We could theoretically say there’s twice as much sand than marbles in “full” if were interested in “counting”.

The same way we have this idea of full, we have the idea of infinity which can affect certain mathematics. Full doesn’t tell you the size of the container, it’s a concept. A bucket twice as large is still full, so there are different kinds of full like we have different kinds of infinity.

And this is an american. Republicans should be afraid he can change whatever “american” is whenever he wants.

What’s funny is his dumb brain immediately went with “What are the costs? I can blame the dems for cost” without even considering the circumstances

And not pocketing the money

It’s a fallacy to think the loudest are the majority. I’m not saying it’s not true in this case, it’s just a flawed premise.

A good lawyer knows the law. A great lawyer knows the judge.

International trade is complicated. I say US here but almost everyone put tarrifs on Chinese EVs. Germany’s economy for example heavily relies on the auto industry, and a collapse could mean a lot of problems.

You also don’t want a monopoly. If China are the only one’s selling cars, it won’t be long before they are no longer cheap. We speak of cars but it’s the same for food. You don’t want a foreign country to have an economic handle on your food.

It’s also worth noting that these other products are often cheaper because the people making them have a lower quality of life. We don’t want to end up in a race to the bottom.
