In general I agree but a few people are lucky enough to have jobs that are cool enough to be obsessed with. That doesn’t excuse them from being able to talk about other stuff with other people, but I think it’s fine for them to be that way. I work in some fairly advanced science facilities and some of the people I’ve met are working on stuff that’s crazy enough and difficult enough that you almost need to be a little obsessed to succeed at it.

We have more than 10% of people who want to emulate the USA, I’m not surprised some of them are stupid enough to think that.

That’s a really weird reason to think it’s fake. There are plenty of reasons, not least that it’s on the internet at all, but this describes a very normal human thought error. I understand it’s not the type of mistake any individual person would necessarily make, but if you don’t understand that some people definitely would, I think you could use more insight into the variety of personalities and thought processes which exist.

If there’s not already enough data for someone to be convinced, more data isn’t going to help. All the information people need is readily out there. What we lack is solidarity, community and movement building, and some slop video isn’t going to help that.

They shouldn’t scan anyone. It will always be abused.

He straight up bought it, never lived there or anything.

Just because it’s possible does not mean it’s inevitable. It’s incredibly optimistic to think that we can get our shit together enough to pull it off before we destroy all our productive capacity through hubris.

Ok? They do that anyway. Sometimes people leave and they have to hire externally.

China is strategically investing and they don’t care about Africa, only China

Yes, sure, it’s not altruistic. But there’s a huge difference between non-violent trade relationships which benefit one party more, and also benefit the other party, just less, and purposefully ensuring that an entire continent is in a constant state of civil war and desperate poverty so you can extract the maximum amount of resources through slavery. China’s foreign policy is absolutely for its own benefit but they’re taking a “rising tide lifts all boats” approach there and while there are some specific things which are fair to criticise it’s way better than what other major powers are doing.

Would you be willing to cite a link to medical information regarding such issues? I’ve spent a long time looking for such things in the past and have never been able to find any evidence for what you suggest.

That’s just factually wrong. It simply takes more resources to make the same amount of protein in meat as in vegetarian foods, that doesn’t matter where in the world you live. It takes 50 times more land just to grow the feed for beef or sheep than to grow the same amount of protein in legumes.

What do you mean by “eat enough meat”? Humans don’t have a biological need to eat meat, so by definition technically everyone has “enough” meat. If you just mean in terms of fairness then sure, the global south should get a bigger share of resources, that’s clear.

No, let’s get rid of ai and meat and eat more sustainable foods.

They understand it in the same regard as the people handing out the clearances, nothing to worry about.

honestly a bit surprised he’d start a fight with the FBI like that

What kind of things does the overhead go to?

You would find yourself in all kinds of legal disputes, permits not getting approved because the wife of the owner of the expensive corporate facility is on the city council, anonymous “stories” about your facility being told to the media, higher insurance prices because you don’t have the same bargaining power, etc.

heat protection rules in Germany are actually quite weak, above 30 they have to let you wear some lighter clothing and give you water… but yeah I think over 50 would not be allowed

We already have all this stuff, stop larping as a 1337 h4x0r and go fix some bugs in your preferred xmpp client or one of those Firefox forks
