Yeah the AI companies are chomping at the bit to let their killer robots loose on us. Wish I were exaggerating but I’m not.

I’m sure they’ll be dropping their kilts for you in no time.

I wouldn’t go so far as to read objectification into it but there are definitely a lot of women out there against vaccination. So yes, I agree it’s one of the weaker Cyanide and Happiness comics.

How long until enough Russians start asking?

And it gets gifts for exam season. Go Terps!

Just a pinch of a fire truck on standby should do the trick.

DIVEST DIVEST DIVEST.

Oh, so we’re one GBU-15 and one executive order away from being rid of several of the most evil people in the country at once? Now all we need is for Dark Brandon to pull the trigger. As long as it is an official order, it isn’t even illegal. Supreme Court said so!

Perhaps. But unlike nutritional facts, the fair treatment of workers/farmers, the sustainability of the company’s product sourcing, or the ethical treatment of animals are extremely difficult to monitor and evaluate. All too often, even respected labels do not represent the truth.

I remember a TV report about ethically sourced cobblestones a few years ago. Reporters showed through painstaking research in the source country that the stones had in fact been hewn by children working in a dusty quarry without any form of protective equipment…

The only way around this is probably to buy local whenever possible, and that is something which is truthfully indicated on the package.

Bullshit. All the information you could ever need is on the packaging already.

edit: if you disagree with me, please enlighten us what you think should be added? We have a complete list of ingredients sorted by amount contained, a detailed breakdown of nutrients from carbohydrates to fiber to sodium content, as well as a declaration of origin…I really don’t see what’s wrong. If you care about the quality of the product and/or your health, just read the information provided. It’s all there.

Of course the consumer must not be so gullible to look only at the shiny claims on the front. If you don’t want to get confused by “puzzling claims” just IGNORE them altogether and assume they’re on the packaging to entice or even mislead you into buying the product. If it says “made with natural ingredients” you know that it’s mostly artificial ingredients. Otherwise it would say “made from all natural ingredients”.

There is no such thing as an “amount of people”. It’s “number of people”. And the question given is basic game theory, just worded to be nasty.

And a healthy swig of bleach for good measure. Cheers!

I think there is some merit to this notion but the Steam Community forums are actually quite helpful sometimes. Yes, having more discussions move to Lemmy (not Reddit!) might be good. But my main point is that Steam has a lot of nooks and crannies for Nazis to hide in, e.g. Steam groups. Those are entirely separate from the actual game discussions and could be easily done away with at no loss to the average gamer.

So conquering other countries is wrong after all? Or are you being serious? Because that is precisely the Kremlin’s rationale for this war: Take out Ukraine before it joins the west and becomes too powerful to conquer.

Correct. My example for another necessary intervention would be YouTube. That’s a space in which Google does have a monopoly.

Bu-but hitting back is escalatory!

Tust du schütteln oder stoßen - der letzte Tropfen geht in’d Hosen. Ancient German proverb.

I don’t know if you thought the message through here. Why depict NATO and Ukraine as the villain of the movie? Also, they are not the same. That’s a myth Putin’s stooges love to spread.

I don’t even know why things like this get posted anymore when we all know it doesn’t make one lick of a difference.

Yes, “people” will remember how easy it is to get filthy rich when all you have to do is cast your morals aside and exploit the basic needs of human beings. This will be a glowing example for generations of “entrepreneurs”.
