I feel like this is one of those bell curve memes. At the start you see that it’s publicly edited and you turn away. Then you see the extensive source citations and why not? Then you get involved in editing Wikipedia and you see what constitutes a “source” and what happens on the talk pages. And you’re right back to not ever citing Wikipedia.

Seriously though, Wikipedia isn’t going to be nearly in depth enough for any research paper worth a damn after you do your first couple. And that’s because those are meant to teach you how to do research papers. Wikipedia isn’t as bad as AI but anyone who’s neck deep in a field will find problems with any Wikipedia page about their field. And it just gets worse the more politicized your field is. So the answer is as it always was. Go to the primary sources.

Said like someone whose “screwed the pooch” too many times.

Nah, then it just becomes a defacto situation of the content creation companies (Disney, Sony, etc) owning the telecom companies. So you will truly be a single content household, like a Disney Household or a Paramount Household.

Sony wanted mo money. Yo money wasn’t enough for them. So they got a jury to agree that Cox owes them 1 Billion dollars.

Let’s all sing about how much we love Corporate Governance.

I don’t think many people realize that cost of living has increased so much that the lifestyle we used to associate with the middle class now isn’t available until 100k without kids or significantly more with kids. Income for the 0-89th percentile has gone down in real terms for decades. 90th to 99th has held stagnant against inflation. Only that top 1 percent has been beating inflation, and they’ve been really beating it. Rand estimated that there’s been a transfer of something like 47 Trillion USD (not a typo) from the rest of us into the top 1 percent since 1975.

Anyone who thinks this was the norm also thinks that women didn’t enter the workforce until World War 2. The real story here is how cost of living is now coming for echelons of society that didn’t have to worry about it before because greedy billionaires require multiple super yachts and support vessels.

From what I can find you’re talking about sale pricing. Which also happens to other proteins.

I’d love to know where you live that one of the most marketable pieces of pork is cheaper than chicken and ground beef. Because that would be amazing.

Pork loin is 7 dollars a pound. Ground beef is cheaper. Chicken or tofu are by far the cheapest proteins.

And I’m sorry but you cannot survive on spinach, oranges, pork, rice, and beans. Not to mention that rice is a 20 minute cook and dried beans take literal hours.

You can’t just say something is cheap when the knock is time, money, and mental energy. You sound like those yuppis born into money, just telling people to buy a house to get on the financial freedom train.

It’s really not cheap. We have the studies about how it’s more expensive and about how food deserts exist. And time? Lmao. You get home from an 8-5 job at 6-7 depending on your commute. Which means you have 2-3 hours for relaxation, food, exercise, social activity, bills, and house chores before you have to go to sleep so you can get 8 hours.

And expecting someone to work all day and still have abundant mental energy is just pure toxic positivity. That’s not the experience of most people. We also have historical studies showing we didn’t “work” as much in pre-industrial times and that with the rise of shift work comes the rise of prepared food as a calorie source.

The answer here is plainly to regulate the prepared food, not blame people for their lack of a pocket universe operating on a different timescale.

That takes money, time, and mental energy. None of which are in high supply for most people working shift jobs or 8-5. The best personal solution is to make and freeze your meals on your off day so you can just heat them up whenever. The best systemic solution is to guillotine a capitalist for producing toxic food that masquerades as healthy and delicious, then ask the others if they have any questions about the new food regulations.

This is far less of a problem in other countries. We don’t have to let corporations treat us as an exploitable resource.

There are cities that use medics on motor bikes for this exact reason. They can’t evac someone but getting there quickly to use a defibrillator or control bleeding could make a difference.

The sheer amount of money being removed by the 1 percent is regoddamndiculous. It’s something like 45 trillion dollars since wages diverged from productivity in 1975.

It would require Apple to accept a dollar less in profit.

In this case there was no real issue. He was trying to get free advertising out of the court. But also, we’ve had animated avatars and text to voice for over a decade now. This isn’t an AI use case.

Yup

Jokes on them. I got a hard time for a formation in hell.

You could look at it as them building future US military bases…

I had to check the sub. I was loading the proverbial shotgun. You got me OP. :)

There is training of course. But that is the stress part.
