Average feddit user

The meme isn’t judging all men, people. It’s calling out a specific behavior and attitude. Not sure why people are so upset. Unless you actually do this, of course.

Oh no!

Anyway

Hey, give the guy a break, cult leaders aren’t known for their grammar.

I used to think this, but here’s the problem: new resources to extract mean absolutely fuck all under the current global paradigm.

There’s enough iron out there to make several tons of it available to every human in existence for whatever they need or want to do. Will that happen? No. It’s not profitable for the owner class to do that. Instead, they will fight amongst themselves until someone has an effective monopoly on asteroid mining, and then limit the supply so they can generate maximal profit (De Beers, anyone?)

We have the capability, right now, to feed everyone on Earth. To clothe everyone. To house everyone. We don’t. Any resources out there that we might find useful will be gated behind the same greedy, psychopathic group of leeches that currently control everything else.

The planet isn’t being destroyed because we had no choice. The planet is being destroyed so a bunch of MBAs could show off a nice graph at the quaterly meeting. It is very much delibrate. Any resource extraction in space will solely be done in that it is more profitable than doing it on Earth, climate be damned. We need to fix that problem before asteroid mining for the good of Earth and humanity is even an option.

This is a bit, right?

Really? That’s funny, I seem to remember the DNC canceling the primary last election. Huh. Odd for a party where, “the voters decide who makes up the party”.

Empathy for others should be a legal requirement

That’s exactly how I curate my feed. Do you have any idea how many sports sublemmies my instance has? It’s the Midwest. It was a lot.

Lmaooo I will stick to turning down all the settings on my shitbox computer because apparently that’s the same experience hahah.

Bring back guilds.

I could go either way on this. Having a bunch of armed people and vehicles running around unfamiliar territory basically guarantees you’re gonna have accidents. Heck, people die during training in as controlled an environment as we can manage.

OTOH, that amount of accidents compared to only a few acknowledged combat losses is a bit suss.

This will last right up until all the right-wingers get pissed they’re being identified as teenagers based on their 5th grade writing level.

Sooo…

-Trans athletes form their own leagues. -Other athletes start competing because they go where the competition is and/or ideological reasons. -Olympics slowly become irrelevant.

Good job, Olympics.

I will remind everyone that as of 2023, about 3% of 18-24 yr olds identified as transgender. That’s a lot of people, and that percentage is only going to go up.

Not the mod, but IMO anyone who has a rational outlook on AI is fine. That is, it’s a technology that has some use cases for some problems, mostly involving neural net stuff that the average person will probably never interact with.

The problem people are the ones who insist that it will ‘revolutionize society’, that the well-documented errors of the tech are overblown, that it’s not currently in a bubble, that it’s not being used in utterly unethical ways that nobody asked for, that AGI is just around the corner, etc.
