  • Lol no these companies are now building their own fossil fuel plants. Mortgage the future is always the plan. I've been in the power industry for 15 years and only since AI have I been asked to work on fossil fuel construction projects rather than decommission projects

  • Gemini lies to user about health info, says it wanted to make him feel better— Though commonly reported, Google doesn't consider it a security problem when models make things up

  • Neurons are much more sophisticated than transistors. A neuron can have multiple connections and can provide a range of values. Digital logic is all yes/no. I'm not sure we even can build something that mimics a brain with current technology.

  • Trump vows voter ID requirements for the midterms, 'whether approved by Congress or not'

    Jump

  • I think the issue is you assume it will be enforced universally. It won't. It will be dependent on the makeup of the district and the color of the individual voter. It will be up to individuals at polling stations (and any ICE present) whether 'exceptions' can be made for people that are 'obviously citizens but forgot their ID'. Or whether a married woman's name mismatch is an issue or not based on her skin/hair color and way of speaking. It's going to be selectively enforced, by design

    Edit - see poll tests

  • We should have genocided all of Germany? We should have killed the POWs? Not rendered aid to enemy casualties?

    Generally the correct answer is, it's complicated. If you're arguing something is black and white you're probably privileged enough to have never had to make one of these decisions yourself. Do I want ICE to exist? No. Do I want all conservatives to die? Also no. What's more, people have all of 2 seconds to make these kinds of decisions and generally fall back on their training, which is to render aid first and figure out the rest later. Personally, I like that that's what their instinct is, and I'm not going to give them shit for it

  • 'No such thing as a better colonizer': Inuit emphatically reject U.S. takeover of Greenland

    Jump

  • I think the issue is they would argue that independence would be a 0/10. Why fight for 3/10 when you can fight for 0?

  • Reports say ICE kidnapped Native Americans in Minnesota for having no ID days ago, now holding them & refusing to let them get ID cards to try to force tribe into some shady deal

    Jump

  • Uhh. Not sure if you're intentionally referencing how their ancestors got genocided but if not may be good to be aware before saying something like this in public .

  • Joe Rogan criticizes ICE tactics: 'Are we really going to be the Gestapo?'

    Jump

  • Yeah I think what's missed is that there weren't a lot of long form podcasts like that at the time. It was great to be able to hear someone like Sean Carroll come on and talk about Spacetime for 3 hours and then have Joe convince him to start his own podcast, which is still going and really dang good. Joe served as the interested but uninformed audience to just kind of keep the person talking. Not to defend what it's become, but it wasn't always like it is now

  • You're saying they shouldn't spend money on this? What alternative would you propose? In my mind this seems to fall pretty squarely in the good column.

  • Mate I'm not arguing with a Christian. And I've been one, trust me they ain't got any poetry that compares with the awe inspired by the existence of galaxies. And lol at certain animals on a particular planet doing particular things with their genitals be vital gears in the machine. On this planet alone there are (and have been) so many different forms of sexual reproduction that the idea that the human way is somehow more important than any of them is laughable. The clockmaker has made an incomprehensible number of gear types. What you do with your dick isn't going to impact the time in anyway. The clock ticks on regardless.

    Side note. The absolute incomprehensible scale of the universe is part of what helped me see through the cult bullshit I grew up in. Hearing the poetry of Carl Sagan spoke more to me than any patriarch. Just because you're not inspired by the Cosmos doesn't mean others aren't either

  • always watching

  • The point is if there is a god the dude has bigger concerns. I agree morality exists, but it is an entirely human construct. We're on our own, there's no sign that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. So don't be a dick, but do whatever you want with your own dick so long as it doesn't impose on others.

  • You can replace battery packs. I plan to drive my current EV for a long long time. Eventually I'll replace the battery but I'm hoping by then there's an easy way to use the old battery in a home system. Reuse beats recycle

  • Lol it's not about getting the US access, it's about getting his personal business ties access at the expense of the American taxpayer/lives of American soldiers. He doesn't care about wealth for the country, he cares about wealth for himself.

    Americans were told "The Peace President. No new wars." But the punctuation was wrong, it was actually "The Peace President? No, new wars!"

  • Who is arguing that money existed before people invented it? Who is arguing that America existed before 1776? The issue with God is people are arguing that it is not just a human invention, but in fact that humanity is an invention of God. Which is in direct conflict of our scientific understanding of the world around us which leads to a variety of issues. I have no idea what point you're trying to make. Is it that made up things can have real influence? Sure, I don't think anyone would disagree. But the difference is I use all sorts of things humans made up, I know they made up, but they are useful. If I started to argue that currency has existed since before the dawn of the universe you'd say I had a mental condition

  • Regular gym-goers probably avoid the gym on New Years Day because it's too crowded

    Jump

  • I think the all or nothing mentality is really holding a lot of people back. I know I can't do that kind of thing personally and always build my habits slowly. Want to go full veg? Give up one animal a month. Want to learn woodworking? Add one new tool (and only one!) each project. Want to run every day? Start with once a week and build. Also don't get all flustered if you miss one. Just do it the next day, don't consider yourself defeated and give up.
