  • Zohran Mamdani says 'I don't think we should have billionaires'

    Jump

  • I would disagree, 100 millionaires don't own F1 teams or have boats so large and so much money they can take down bridges to get them out of port.

    The problem is people like myself and many other can't fathom even desiring things so absurd... And many of these billionaires won't rest until they own the entire world.

  • 128 Democrats join House Republicans to block AOC, Al Green bid to impeach Trump

    Jump

  • I imagine there are significantly more complex concerns the representatives are navigating than the reductive assessments being presented here.

    For example, the voter base has clearly demonstrated they are morons and SOME of the reps may reside in more moderate districts with split ticket voting. If they know it is a mathematical impossibility why would they waste political capital and open themselves up for midterm attack ads.

    While you and I, or anyone with more intellectual capacity than a goldfish realize the danger of Trump, they may also want to ensure when they support impeachment, they do it for an issue that has more broad support of public opinion.

    I often see reductive assessments of political behavior that lack any attempt to consider measured approaches within a given context, even historically. Hindsight is 20/20 and there are often many moving parts aside from what you or I feel is the correct thing to do.

  • Ahh thank you for that information! In all seriousness, I appreciate you correcting my ignorance.

  • List and Array terminology also bothers me ... Why not just call it an array?

  • ‘The Worst Internet-Research Ethics Violation I Have Ever Seen’ | The most persuasive “people” on a popular subreddit turned out to be a front for a secret AI experiment.

    Jump

  • Not remotely surprised.

    I dabble in conversational AI for work, and am currently studying its capabilities for thankfully (imo at least) positive and beneficial interactions with a customer base.

    I've been telling friends and family recently that for a fairly small amount of money and time investment, I am fairly certain a highly motivated individual could influence at a minimum a local election. Given that, I imagine it would be very easy for Nations or political parties to easily manipulate individuals on a much larger scale, that IMO nearly everything on the Internet should be suspect at this point, and Reddit is atop that list.

  • 'Very troubling': Leader of 'Abandon Harris' movement now anxious about Trump appointees

    Jump

  • It wasn't just Lemmy, I know otherwise reasonably intelligent people who became literally brainwashed from TikTok. We're talking far left, never Trumper's, knew he was an existential threat, but couldn't have their moral superiority tarnished and HAD to vote 3rd party. They bought into that propaganda hook, line and sinker.

  • shocking - It's almost as if there was a coordinated media campaign to paint both sides the same, and convince a bunch of people to vote against their own self interests. Absolutely did not see this coming... Nope, absolutely not.

  • Paris to Replace Parking Spaces With Trees | The city’s new climate plan promises to drop speed limits, repurpose traffic lanes, remove 60k parking spots & create urban “oases” to combat extreme heat

  • How long will it be until we realize AI is detrimental to society?

    Jump

  • It's saving me a hell of a lot of man hours on incredibly tedious tasks that would require looking up individual items in a wiki or the like and then directly populating the answers into a spreadsheet... Our team doesn't have the budget to hire someone to do it, so it basically just wouldn't get done without it.

    Useful party trick for me!

  • I don't understand why these passively cooling roofs aren't being used EVERYWHERE seems like an absolute no brainer.

  • The double standard for Harris and Trump has reached a breaking point | One candidate can rant about gibberish while the other has to be perfect.

    Jump

  • This is highly unlikely to cause a statistically significant difference in the polls. Having this strong of a view point on the matter is largely isolated to a specific demographic of younger, progressive voters, who are notoriously difficult to reach and accurately account for via traditional polling methods.

    It registers as the 15th most important issue via a Gallup poll, and that doesn't account for which "side" the individuals polled support.

    Of the 30% of the population saying it is an "extremely important issue," it gives no indication of what their desired resolution is.

    On the extreme end of the spectrum, consider that 30% of our nation is in a death cult that believes Israel plays a role in their eventual salvation, not to mention how many people are blatantly racist and view anyone with darker skin as a terrorist.

    I am registered, politically active, not difficult to locate and have had the same phone number for 20 years, yet, I MIGHT have been polled once in that time!

    This isn't to say there aren't those who are doing as they say, but it is not likely to move polls one way or another.

  • Treasury warns that anti-woke banking laws like Florida's are a national security risk

  • I don't understand this map, I live very close to the coast and am 20+ feet above sea level. 5 meters is 16' 4.85".

    The highest point in Pinellas county is 110', for those who don't know, it's the peninsula on West Coast of Florida.

    I'm not under the impression there will be a consistent land mass, but something more resembling new islands, keys and beach fronts makes more sense than showing areas entirely underwater.

  • Assuming this isn't an attempt at trolling, Trump ran up the deficit nearly double that of Biden. Given that the argument is generally government spending leads to inflation, how exactly would that not indicate who is more responsible for inflationary costs?

  • Gen Z are desperate to be eco-friendly but LinkedIn says they’re so underskilled they actually pose a ‘risk’ to climate progress

  • I e been espousing #2 for years.... Companies used to actually train and invest in their employees, now it's all about poaching someone else from some other company rather than training and promoting within.

  • PAC behind 'dictator' billboard comparing Trump to Fidel Castro says more is coming

  • They need these every block in Miami. I absolutely cannot comprehend how some people don't see Trump is a dictator. Left, right, center, it doesn't matter, a dictator is a dictator and no political ideology is safe from them..
