I had this one Singaporean guy visit me and say basically the same thing, and then he said there was this dish i had to try. And it just tasted like Umami The Dish™ to me.

Turns out, people typically enjoy the cuisine they grew up with and that’s not wrong. To imply that it is makes you annoying.

Oh god. My local branch of the Communist party of Canada is like that and it’s so full of relationship drama

Economic collapse doesn’t matter if you:

1. Own the means of production to sustain your way of life

2. Have fully automated it

3. Can protect it using automated security

Which is what billionaires are going for. They do not care if economic collapse leads to billions of deaths, as long as they live in an automated utopia themselves.

It is about the prospect of profit. If you can make a machine that puts everyone out of a job, the profit is literally infinite. The same or better productivity output with zero labour cost input. You would have to be out of your mind not to invest in the infinite money machine.

Unfortunately (fortunately?), the infinity money machine is not possible with LLMs. These bullshit generators are a dead end in AI tech. But nobody with investor money believes that yet.

Most of the water use for corn isn’t necessary either, because nearly half the corn we grow gets burned in engines in the form of corn ethanol mixed into gasoline.

I’ll say that again because it is an unfathomable stat. Nearly half the corn the US grows gets burned to make cars go. That represents 40x the water use of AI if OP is to be believed about the 1/80th stat.

Socialism is when the government does stuff. The more stuff it does, the more socialister it is. And when the government goes a whole lot of stuff, that’s communism.

And Sippy is joking that felsiq should try boot licking instead

Wait no that would put it on the empty track!!

How will they maintain their office real estate portfolio if the demand for offices drops precipitously?

Alternatively, a more generous interpretation was he was trying to gain ground to topple it from within. That’s if you want to give him that much credit.

Well you can’t believe them because they’re brainwashed /s

We can’t kill fascists because, gasp, they have families too!

Well, a nuclear power plant typically has at least one reactor.

Being less of an ass, yes, you’re right, there’s also reactors not part of a public electricity generating station. Mostly military, but some for training.

To a degree, paying off loans in full actually reduces your credit score. Credit score is purely a score of how juicy you are to lendors. Lendors don’t like people who pay off loans in full because that means you’re not paying them anymore.

To increase your credit score, take on more debt that you can pay off and pay it dutifully every month.

Wine in the same aisle at children’s cereal.

Lmfao the fucking doorknob on the hinge side of the door.

Even if, I think it’s still a valid comparison as it’s a rate.

I use Yank. I understand some Yanks think Yank only applies to New Englanders. I don’t care, they’re all Yanks.

Harry, it’s an inanimate fucking object.
