  • I mean... We still don't know why the honey bee is dying (yes, specifically the honey bee. Other bees seem to be doing OK).

    Yes, it could be the industry, or it could be climate change, or it could be the use of pesticides... But while it could be all of those things, none of those things fit entirely.

    So even if a whole lot of people are willing to do something to prevent the honey bee population from going poof... We wouldn't know what to do exactly.

  • The guy in this meme always reminds me of Edward Norton.

  • I should check it out. Thanks for the suggestion.

  • I've had everything and everyone try to assert their beliefs. If nobody has ever approached you about anything then you've been very lucky indeed.

    Anything from Jehova's Witnesses and their dumb little pamphlets, Muslims blaring prayers across the street while displaying billboards on intelligent design, to scientologists starting the most disingenuous arguments.

    These are fairly normal occurrences in cities. Perhaps not so much in the countryside, but even then I've had the Christian priest always casually bringing up joining Sunday mass.

  • This is not a popular belief. There are more religious people in the world than none religious people.

    But to your point; there exists no evidence that there is something after death, certainly not in the wishful thinking way people do. Ergo, there is nothing after death.

  • Honestly, though... What did you guys expect? To me it was very obvious since day 1 that if the files were released it'd be heavily redacted.

    I didn't think it was going to be redacted to this comical degree, but I knew it would be redacted to the point of being useless.

  • There are a handful, but they're either too mundane for the typical conspiracy guy, or actually invalidate certain conspiracies.

    Like climate change deniers. They believe that climate change is created by scientists to make more money or by shadow government to keep people in line with fear, or some combination of both.

    The real conspiracy is, however, that Exxon Mobile knew about climate change 11 years before scientists at large discovered it and spent all that time creating the climate denying talking points we all know and love.

  • It requires some heads to role first. Some old dinosaurs still around are dragging the whole world down with them.

  • You cannot have equity without first enforcing equality. Otherwise equity just becomes spoiled entitled behavior.

    Equality is absolute.

  • How about doing something worth more than merely protesting, or voting in a broken system?

  • I still have my 5600x going strong.

  • Used to believe that humanity would inherently self-improve, especially the more easily information became accessible.

    People couldn't read and write at first, and didn't know much about the world, and now we have instant communication and access to vast repositories of knowledge.

    I believed that people were naturally curious, and wanted to learn and figure things out. Education systems sucked, but with improvement it could foster that curiosity in everyone!

    Turns out that was incredibly naive. Humans have an inherent ego that tries to make themselves more than reality. Their problems are more real than another's. Their inconveniences are more important than anything bigger-picture. I thought religion were old dinosaur structures of primitive belief systems that lasted for too long, but humans will literally make shit up or believe in some made up shit from someone else if it helps them ignore the inconveniences of reality.

    COVID-19 really helped sink that in.

  • This comic seems out dated. Right now a lot more people are in a similar situation, regardless of ethnicity. The only ones at the top are those of the upper class.

    Then there are the racists who are all below like everyone else, but in their unintelligence turn against their fellows.

    The only ones at the top right now are the rich cunts who profit from ethnic and cultural divides.

  • If these "tools" equate to "vibe coding" then Apex Engine will be useless.

  • Because that's exactly what it's used for. The kinds of AI uses where it's actually useful "as a tool" either literally don't exist or are nearly impossible to find.

  • Ok, but as far as I'm aware very few people, regardless of gender, take rejection well.

  • There's nothing mature about enabling a person's prejudices or delusions.

  • I for one like all of it being in one versatile device. My issue with smartphones isn't technology, but the corpos that profit from you even after you've bought the phone.

  • Yes, and you have been patiently countered. You might not like it, but this comic is a fallacy. There's nothing else to be said.

  • As it should be towards prejudice. If you were expecting anything else, you're an asshole at best, a fascist at worst.
