  • Israel committing genocide in Gaza, world's leading experts say

    Jump

  • Whoever downvoted you is wrong. You made a mistake, owned up, and learned from it. That is admirable. More power to your elbow, friend. (And always look up the people you're quoting!)

    Jump

  • You're quoting a neonazi white supremacist to assert what? That Israel rules over us?Come on, that's not a good look is it.

  • Can you help me find the right word to describe this annoying person?

    Jump

  • The word is arrogant:-

    'having or revealing an exaggerated sense of one's own importance or abilities.'

  • Do you feel sad for people born today?

    Jump

  • I choose not to. I can choose to be hopeful for the future without being unrealistic. I can see intrinsic value in human life and the human experience even knowing that every single one of us will die at some point, some peacefully, some during suffering. The moment of death doesn't have to define one's life. Even a baby who lives for six hours has spent infinitely more time living than dying. Would you be so nihilistic as to erase that life, just because it was short?

    Your philosophy is valid; it's not necessarily correct.Starting from the assumption that it is denies you the opportunity to see things from a different perspective.

  • How to obtain standards - ISO, AS

    Jump

  • It's worth asking your local library. My library card gives me read-only access to every ISO standard I've ever needed.

    There's also the Estonian standards institute which offers the same standards for much much cheaper.

  • Does reading medicine books count too? Since we're all driving human bodies 24/7? Or is it just turtles down to the bottom of the tech layer.

  • Trump says he's placing Washington police under federal control and deploying the National Guard

    Jump

  • The fucks I give about Palestine come WAY after the fucks I give about America. Apparently you don't feel the same.

    Do you think that's justifiable? Only one of those nations has lost 5-10% of its population to US-funded bombs in less than 2 years. I would've thought it was obvious which nation is more in need of your fucks right now.

  • ‘We didn’t vote for ChatGPT’: Swedish PM under fire for using AI in role

    Jump

  • Gonna have to heavily disagree with this take. Firstly, "Luddite" isn't the insult you seem to think it is - Luddites were pretty righteous people.Second, and I think this is the most important thing, comparing a politician's use of Google, an iPhone and an LLM is a big fat false equivalence.

  • Every UK petition

    Jump

  • Things are getting worse in the UK in terms of wealth inequality, living standards, civil rights and democratic freedom.

  • UK pornography taskforce to propose banning ‘barely legal’ content after Channel 4 documentary airs

    Jump

  • You stop at the R and change if to a Z. Barry = Baz, Darren = Daz, Carol = Caz etc etc. Because British English is non rhotic, it doesn't work if we stop at the R (like USAians can say "Gar" for Gary) so the z sound gets used instead, because it's pretty close.Then the A gets added if you're being extra friendly or cute, a bit like Michael > Mike > Mikey. Gareth becomes Gary becomes Gaz becomes Gazza.Make sense?

  • Humanity will likely survive climate change, but the vast majority of humans won't.

    Jump

  • If, in some cataclysm, all of scientific knowledge were to be destroyed, and only one sentence passed on to the next generation of creatures, what statement would contain the most information in the fewest words? I believe it is the atomic hypothesis that all things are made of atoms — little particles that move around in perpetual motion, attracting each other when they are a little distance apart, but repelling upon being squeezed into one another. In that one sentence, you will see, there is an enormous amount of information about the world, if just a little imagination and thinking are applied.

    Richard Feynman

    So, if, during the apocalypse, you have access to a means of passing on a message to the poor bastards who have to live in the New World, it should be this:

    "Everything is made of atoms"

  • Hierarchy!

    Man, don't you know? The law ain't made to help earthy cats like us. Here on our planet, back in the old days - back in the real old days - it was just every man for himself, scrooblin' and scrat-scroblin' for the good stuff, the greenest valleys. And the strongest, meanest men got the best stuff. They got the green valleys and were like 'The rest of you, y'all scrats get sand.' And that's when they made the laws, you see? Once the strong guys got it how they liked it, they said 'This is fair now, this is the law.' Once they were winning, they changed the rules up

  • The Worst ICE Agents Are Coming | Tens of billions of new dollars plus a rush to hire 10,000 new agents equals a disaster in the making

    Jump

  • It's looking pretty catastrophic, the future. The climate catastrophe, the AGI singularity, and techno-feudal fascism are all imminent. Then, less imminent there's the altered nuclear threat, antibiotic resistance, societal collapse (due to all of the above, plus unprecedented wealth inequality) to name a few.Revolution in some form is inevitable, but it's not guaranteed to be effective in making things better.We're about nine historical turning points deep already, but I think the big ones are yet to come and I hate it.

  • History didn't start on October 7th. "Hamas was the aggressor" is a false statement. Hamas is one of the belligerents in a war of occupation that's been going on for a long long time.
