His concept of "utopia" is one where only robots work, and humanity looking more like B&L customers in a WALL-E world.

Elon Musk predicted that AI and robots would eventually allow work to become optional for human beings, that money would become “irrelevant” and poverty would cease to exist.
I mean first off, we'll need "AI" to actually mean something other than marketing bullshit. Actual AI (what's being called 'AGI' nowadays, but that'll be bastardized the same way 'AI' was) doesn't exist outside of science fiction. If that day ever comes (my money's on humans being extinct before we get there), then yeah that's gonna be a humanity changer in par with discovering fire or electricity.
Second, we'll need the folks who run that tech to actually be benevolent, and the odds of a billionaire becoming benevolent are even lower than real AI becoming a reality.
Third, poverty could cease to exist RIGHT NOW if people like Elon Musk got the guillotine treatment they deserve. No AI necessary.

Hypothesis: this is actually a safer way to ride due to cars seeing you as much more of a threat and therefore giving you MUCH more room than normal.

Key voting bloc turns against Trump in massive numbers: ‘He is doing something absolutely wrong’

Some internet digging points to an instagram page for Humaid Abdulla Albuqaish, who appears to be a rich and Middle Eastern version of Tiger King.

...I'm not super confident on that, as the pics on the linked page don't look quite like the dude in the gif; but maybe a 10-years-younger version of the dude just looked that different?

Anywho, if that is the dude, the footage is most likely of a pet, and the situation staged to produce the short.

What would be the most optimal way to have good bodily nutrition with the lowest cost per meal?

Sterile_Technique @lemmy.world 3天前

For the rice, look specifically for "fortified" - it has things like vitamins added in. From there, unless you want to actually track your micro and macro nutrients, your best bet is to just shoot for a good variety, and that's where things like food pantries will shine, cuz (for most of them at least) their inventory will be changing constantly, so it'll force you to try things you wouldn't normally have the desire or financial access to.

This is assuming your local area has food pantries - you'll have some homework to do to find those kinds of resources. Also look into langar kitchens if there are any Sikh churches near you. I've never been to one, but heard nothing but good things.

The Beast in Me review – Claire Danes’s astonishing new thriller is instant top–tier TV

My wife has been watching that... Per the glimpses I've caught, 90% of it is footage of the chick in the thumbnail looking from side to side with an utterly confused expression. 9% is the Hitler-sans-stache looking dude looking like he's on the verge of a roid rage. The remaining 1% was Dr. Bruce Banner breaking into a mansion, presumably to steal the formula for wish-dot-com-Hitler's roid juice so he can go back to being the hulk.

That's not the point I'm making - the people who chose not to vote over Harris's comments are fucking morons. They share responsibility for Trump's victory and everything he's done since.

But the time to look past Harris's comments, shut our mouths, and vote strategically for her was during the general. The election is over, and there is no longer reason to defend her, or contrast her against Trump. She isn't a lesser evil anymore.

And there's the core of my point: looking at her objectively, she is evil. She stands right alongside the voters who opted out in culpability for Trump's victory and enabling the current dismal state of our country.

That's why I think the whole "America isn't ready for a women" spiel is BS. Both of the women we've run recently were fucking horrible candidates: but even so they lost by a narrow enough margin that blaming the outcome on the contents of their pants is a failure to consider the other variables at play.

If we ran a woman who was actually likeable, doesn't have a history full of scandals, and doesn't come out in the 11th hour of the general to say something detrimental like support for genocide... then that woman will win.

Aren't most superpowers an infinite glitch by themselves?

Like if they used their voodoo to crank a giant turbine instead of causing or fighting crime, the entirety of the power industry instantly becomes obsolete.

Yeah no shit - for half of our voters, those things are all selling points. If we run a man who's an absolute piece of shit against a woman who's less so, but still very much a piece of shit, the man will win every time. As I said, sexism is definitely a factor.

If we run a man who's an absolute piece of shit against a woman who isn't a piece of shit... who fuckin knows: we haven't tried that. But Harris's odds seemed pretty solid until she started publicly supporting Israel's genocide on Gaza: so she lost a hefty chunk of support from the half of voters who are turned off by evil behavior; meanwhile the bigot's popularity with bigoted voters remained unsurprisingly steady.

SNAP.

...but for real, fortified short-grain rice, and dried beans are probably single best bang-for-buck you're gonna find. Mix in whatever's on the clearance wrack or provided by things like food pantries, and you should have no issues keeping yourself fed. Won't always be good, but it'll be dirt cheap.

He should put on the same suit, use the same tone and pose, set against the same background as his the "I did not have sexual relations with that woman." footage.

But say "I did not have have sexual relations with that man."

Then just let the internet do its thing.

Well, so far the women we've run are 1) one of the most hated politicians of all time, and 2) a cop who repeatedly stated her support for genocide.

So... idk if 'women' is the issue here. Maybe we should try running one that doesn't come with decades of baggage / isn't an overtly horrible person?

I mean, sexism is definitely a factor, but one that has thus far only become insurmountable in combination with a mountain other barriers.

Probably no catheter if it was an orchi - they do those for longer surgeries (current hospital's policy is expected duration of 3+ hours - dunno if that's universal) and orchies typically don't go that long, nor would they need a urethral landmark.

...I think my bladder tissue irritation hypothesis was probably not correct.

The best way I can describe what the pain feels like right now is when you need to piss like really crazy bad. (I don't actually have to piss though.)

That sounds like residual sensation from a Foley catheter - basically a straw that runs up your urethra and into your bladder. Once in place, the end of it's inflated inside your bladder so it doesn't pull back out, but that balloon puts pressure on the base of your bladder, and that's how your brain normally knows it's full of pee.

So, if the Foley was in place for a long surgery, that part of your bladder might have been super irritated - very common when people wake from surgery for them to feel like they urgently have to pee but the Foley was removed just before wake-up or still in place and actively draining their bladder (so we know the bladder is nearly empty either way).

I've never been in that type of surgery, so idk if they would have even used a Foley, but if yes, that's likely the culprit. If by 'balls destroyed' you mean complete genital conversion to include the penis, then Foley placement would make a lot of sense since that would act as a marker for the urethra's location as incisions around that area obscure anatomic landmarks with blood. The irritation and urge sensation would also make sense, since the Foley would have been handled a lot, making your bladder tissue REALLY angry at that balloon.
