  • xkcd #3020: Infinite Armada Chess

    Jump

  • If they get to choose, it's probably going a pawn every time which kind of makes the option null.

    Explosive would be interesting as it could force you to choose a less than optimal piece to prevent explosion.

  • My first thought is that the game would become one sided very quickly, but it'd be interesting to try.

    Also what if the starting position for that piece is already occupied?

  • "Russia ready to end war in Ukraine if sanctions are lifted, says Lavrov"

    And keep gained territories, and demilitarise Ukraine, and to enforce that Ukraine will not align with other countries.

    Honestly, the sanctions are pretty much just a footnote. If the sanctions were all that mattered, they'd simply withdraw.

  • I haven't watched the video, but I'm guessing it's about college football.

  • Car tyres shed a quarter of all microplastics in the environment – urgent action is needed

    Jump

  • I take your point, but unfortunately we live in the real world and we have to be realistic.

  • I'm not arguing whether cars are good or bad for society as a whole.

    I'm just saying that if the choice is between internal combustion engines and electric motors, it's a no brainer.

  • Montreal shopping mall plays “Baby Shark” on repeat to prevent unhoused people from loittering

    Jump

  • Everyone likes at least some classical music, most people are far too cool to admit it though.

  • Montreal shopping mall plays “Baby Shark” on repeat to prevent unhoused people from loittering

    Jump

  • It's a joke. The implication is that the repeated playing of Baby Shark could be considered torture, other cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment and punishment.

  • The mob is fickle, brother.

    The hive mind has concluded AI=bad and any comment that doesn't go along with the consensus is going to get downvotes.

    It's really not that different from the beginning of the industrial revolution, when cotton mills first started to implement the spinning jenny, leaving many workers out of a job who'd go in to the factories at night to smash the machines up.

    No one wants to go back to spinning cotton all day now though and it will be the same with jobs taken by AI.

  • I take your point. But you could make the same argument for many things that are already very affordable.

    Personally, I'm against nanny taxes, they only work against people who are financially struggling, yet ironically it's generally the poorest people that have the worst health, especially when it comes to obesity.

    I think there is work to be done on improving the health of the population, but I'd like to drive that from a perspective of education or a carrot rather than a stick method.

  • Well your comment sounded like you were implying that regulations are needed that currently aren't there.

  • Collapse of Earth's main ocean water circulation system is already happening

    Jump

  • Right. We survived the ice age with stone age tech.

    Not saying that this makes any of this OK but resilience is absolutely one of humanities highest spec traits.

  • Imagine getting downvoted because it was fine for you. Completely stupid.

    It was fine for me as well, bring on the downvotes!

  • Kate Nash and Lily Allen on OnlyFans should be a wake-up call for the music industry

    Jump

  • Show me the demand for my body parts on only fans and I'll give up my minimum wage job.

    Why should they work menial labour if they can make much easier money?

  • What's your purpose of life?

  • Hard disagree. I think we're born stupid, that's very different.

    Honestly, your comment sounds a lot like the "original sin" shit that the Christian church tries to push.
