The nation wasn’t developed by the people who escaped. That’s an ahistorical way of framing the issue

Taiwan was developed by the overthrown proto-fascist military junta who just lost the civil war. After taking the island, they didn’t tell the people of Taiwan that the war had been over and they were no longer China until 1991. The first labor laws outlawing slavery were introduced to the people of Taiwan in 2006. The people of Taiwan still consider themselves China (it is afterall the name they go by, not Taiwan) and full Taiwanese independence is still a minority held belief on the actual island.

Just to be clear, I am a supporter of their independence, but this is a very messy situation in which the political party who comrade the country is the same fascist party who lost the war in the first place and still maintains to the UN that they are the legitimate government of the mainland. Full separation is convenient for the West, but neither side actually wants that, they just don’t want to be ruled by either fascists or communists, and I think that is incredibly fair for all people actually involved to want.

If anybody can patent it, it’s the W3C who holds it.

Aaron Swartz was working on self hosted social media before ycombinator merged his product with what became reddit.

Facebook is a little too late to the game to get any credit.

If you are expanding the deep state to include regulatory bodies, you are just talking about the state.

Can you provide an instance of the state ever hiding the fact that they regulate businesses, or did you just find out that was one of their powers?

I think I misunderstood you the first time. I thought you were a musk fan boy claiming the regulators themselves were the deepstate.

According to this podcast on collapse I once heard, not once in human history has a technological breakthrough made humans less productive.

A loss in coal jobs doesn’t mean a loss everywhere in the energy sector.

When we are looking at Appalachia, their descent into what could almost be described as fifth world or failed world alignment isn’t necessarily because of technological advancement but of cultural stagnation.

From the 1880s to the 1920s the rednecks were imprisoned and murdered while the hicks consolidated power.

The jobs are still there nationwide, just mostly in the places that still have educated workforces. A large reason why coal country is hanging onto coal instead of supporting those retraining programs that will allow them entry into the markets that historically red places like Arizona and Montana are getting in on is that the inhabitants of those States didn’t murder their intelligent people at the behest of business.

Does the game deliver on the camp or is it a legitimate game with just a bad English title?

The link you gave said this was a military policy used.on military, not civilians.

It also appears they stopped doing it a decade ago, according to your source.

I wouldn’t really classify Ruby ridge as a rail-roading.

This is a guy who uprooted his family to move across the country so he could hang out with terrorists who shared Hitler-loving beliefs.

He then sold a sawed off shotgun to a man he believed was one of those terrorists.

We can definitely criticize law enforcement for every single they did from the inception of the case, but Weaver was not innocent.

I think they assumed you were libertarian because you were giving off irrationally angry vibes while sucking up to a corporation.

Many fake libertarians behave that way. It truly was an honest mistake the other person made.

Pretty sure corporations running their own subreddits has been.a thing for awhile now. Fairly certain Costco’s subreddit is fully modded by their advertising department. Threads written by employees during COVID were getting nuked constantly.

This isn’t a resurfaced interview though, the full audio containing the unpublished material was released. I believe the text has been online for about a decade at least though.

Is Robin actually Banksy is no longer even the interesting question. It’s why the art world has pretended this is some great mystery for about 20 years now.

There is no one person we can ever point to and say without fail they were at these events on these dates where Robert Del Naja or Damien Albarn performed. But clearly the art world is aware that Del Naja and Albarn are the ones funding the creative operation of Banker, which is why every article will make sure to mention one or the other as a wink but never actually pull on that thread. Pretending there is some great unsolveable mystery is probably the only legitimate money fine arts based media congloms are making. It would be a shame to lose that.

Edit: I apologize for the spelling mistakes.

Capitalists?

It strikes me that you guys hate Jews for loving money too much, yet also accuse them of being communists who wish to abolish property rights. You hate the Orthodox for their anti-modern views, yet also hate secular Jews for the reason your children become atheist.

There is nothing you would allow a Jew to do without you using it to justify your hatred for them. Why is that?

brambledog ,

If you were to put minimal effort into reading compretension while rereading what I wrote, you will find that I did not state nor suggest all capitalists were Jews.

Best of luck, cadet.

Mistyping a word on a phone is a much different thing than reading comprehension.

If you buy enough cheese, it’s essentially free on a per serving basis with the expense being the shipping.

Honestly, I believe it.

I have worked at an amazon warehouse. Bezos was never referred to as anything but Jeff and every day during the stretches we would be told how impressed Jeff was with how well we were doing.

At Costco, we would have daily meetings. At least twice a month the assistant manager would interject to remind everybody that they had once had lunch with the original CEO. There was also this strange creation myth of how the company was able to dominate the grocery industry within less time than everybody else. It involved the CEO inventing a new way to filet a Chinook salmon or something like that.

Cult behavior is surprisingly strong within corporate America.

If you are over the age of 39 I highly reccomend against this. There is really no possible way yo meet your caloric needs without massively overdosing on salt when depending on ramen and Mac and cheese.

It’s honestly probably just as cost effective and slightly better for you to just buy a premade cold sandwich from the nearest bodega for at least one of your meals.

I truly thought shittymorph had come to lemmy.

You are angry and you deserve to be, and you should talk to somebody about it, but not like this.

Is it just me, or has the BS with OpenAI shown that nobody in the AI space actually cares about "safeguarding AGI?"

Money wins, every time. They’re not concerned with accidentally destroying humanity with an out-of-control and dangerous AI who has decided “humans are the problem.” (I mean, that’s a little sci-fi anyway, an AGI couldn’t “infect” the entire internet as it currently exists.)...

brambledog ,

I think you are being optimistic.

If you are old enough to remember AIM chatbots, this current generation is maybe multiple times more advanced, not exponentially so. From what I have seen, all the incredible advancements have been in image production.

This leads me to believe that AGI has never been the true commercial goal, but rather an advancement of propaganda media and its creation.

It tends to be in upscale hotels, generally around the holidays, but isn’t incredibly common anymore.

If you look at Polynesians, the women often tend to be bigger as well, maintaining the size disparity seen in other races and cultures. Wouldn’t this suggest that evolutionary pressures which will give preference to larger stature bodies are affecting the sexes equally?

If so, then the innate size disparity between sexes was written into our genetic code before we branched off.

I’m not an evolutionary biologist though.

The Chinese government doesn’t know you exist. The Chinese people are theoretically banned from site like this and even if using a vpn, they are almost certainly accessing webpages made in the language they actually speak.

Maybe there are better ways to take a stand against the Chinese government. Ones which aren’t empty gestures.

Really?

Please show me in which of Orwell’s writings he suggested that economies should be based off allowing financial criminals to commi their crimes against citizens, unimpeded.

The thesis of 1984 is that when totalitarianism takes hold, we will turn on those we love to protect ourselves. Which specific portion of that novel do you believe told you that true freedom is getting your money stolen with no recourse?

This is primarily the issue with libertarians. You guys are constantly applying a book you haven’t read to every situation you don’t like. It’s weird and I think people see through it.

Your favorite painting was likely commissioned by a rich person, and the person who received credit for it probably had most of the work done by an apprentice of theirs.

Rich people don’t like fine art and wine because they are so much more intellectually advanced than we are, they like them because they are a great tool of the wealthy. These people can’t tell the difference between a $7 wine and their $25,000 wine in a blind taste test, and if you tell them so, they will smile and nod, because the taste isn’t the point.

Your grandmother’s knit sweaters would be considered fine art if it could be used to launder money.

So a man whose wealth has largely been built off lying to investors and consumers about his products told you that his father only gave him $28,000, and you just believed him?

I’m not saying the rumors are true that Joe Rogan has been pumping him full of ketamine to get him to sign over his fortune, but Musk is clearly starting to lose his ability at what he was good at: making money.

I haven’t had a single complaint in my few months if using it.

That being said, I have 3 people to use it with so on average have only gotten about 20 minutes per week.

The people communicating with each other need a way to ensure that they are communicating with who they think they are; and for most people, they are trying to hide what they are discussing, not necessarily who they are discussing it with.

When I first got into open source I downloaded every app I saw that could make me feel like a spy, but I quickly deleted 90% of them because I had no use cases for them. I did find an app I believe based off the signal protocol which had no names or numbers and the only way to initiate contact between two people was by scanning each others qr code, but good luck ever meeting somebody to download the app.

It’s been hard enough convincing anybody over signal. Americans are pretty locked into SMS and everybody else seems unwilling to leave WhatsApp.

Well I don’t think we should judge all homeless people based solely off your close proximity to them.

Yeah, big disagree there. I would say the main reason trump supporters want to kill liberals is because they have been told that the liberals are secret leftists.

We can’t be telling the youth that it’s too late to make things better, and then criticizing them for not making things better.

If we are at the point where people who feel they have no future are destroying the past of those who took the future, we are much further away from being able to do anything than you are currently ready to confront.
