Data was also wasn't a replacement for human labor to enrich the capitalist class. I think AI would be cool if the tangible benefits made everyone's lives better rather than just lining the pockets of rich people.because they fan pay less on labor.
If you're not going to take the effort type "can a government use patents" into Google and look at the top link. It took me less than a minute to find that government using a patent is just baked into the patent system. There's not additional law around it. So it might be better to go the WD 40 route and never actually file a patent to the formula to avoid sharing the formula publicly.
That's... not how eminent domain works...? Like it's scope only applied to stuff like building sidewalks, roads, bridges, and other infrastructure.
Because it's a lot easier for Disney to churn out mickey mouse cartoons than it is for General Electric to come up with an entirely new rotating joint for the helicopter mounted motorized minigun
For using volume measurements (weighs are still superior tho) flour shouldn't be packed in but spooned into the measuring device and leveled with the back of a knife but brown sugar should be packed into the measuring device.
In recipes, they'll call for a heaped teaspoon or tablespoon, everything else is implied to be leveled, especially leavening agents like baking powder/soda. There's also an understanding that certain things don't need as much precision, like adding in flavoring extracts.
I also do really like the nice even 25° increments that recipes align to for farenheight.
Personally I originally went to Discord because it was the alternative to skype which was increasingly becoming shittier and shittier when Microsoft bought it.
You'd have a point if this were good faith encouragement of civic duty, but it's not, it's a surreptitious attempt to gain control over the mechanisms of power at the expense of everyone else.
I mean if you literally just ignore all of the lyrics except the part where Bruce is nearly screaming "born in the usa" like a lamentation... I guess it's possible.
I'm not even sure Musk would appreciate a good Amontillado.
Bruh Musk is the elite. He's not some hardworking blue collar or even white collar worker. He started so far ahead of the rest of us financially, and just bought his way into everything, he's not some coding genius who built PayPal from scratch, he's not a rocket scientist who worked on the designs for SpaceX, he's an emotionally stunted manchild with too much money and nobody in his circle to tell him no.
Nepotism isn't loyalty to family, its corruption.
Getting lucky on the stock market with the large trust fund your parents gave you isn't exactly what I'd call "earning."
Ooh yeah that's another good potential use case too!
At the end of the day the choice fulfills a bunch of roles, probably even beyond just the sound bite splicing challenges and poking fun at conservatives.
Absolutely, there's a lot of planning that goes into events like this down to the wardrobes people on stage are gonna wear. Was it planned because Republicans lost their shit over the tan suit during the Obama administration and it was a jab at that? Maybe, probably, and it also serves as a way to more quickly identify shich day a soud bite is taken from and a bit harder for oppositional propaganda to stitch disparate quotes together to push an alternative narrative.
TTRPGs: first system playing in college, I've been playing and running games for various groups over the last ~13 years.
Video games: played so much Donkey Kong Country with my dad as a little kid. Never truly stopped ever since.
3d modeling/animation: It's my job, and I use it for personal reasons.
Cooking: Learned along side cooking with my parents and watching food network before it was overrun with competition cooking.
Well... were not on the other side of this yet. Were still in the sort of early 1930s Germany era where the real problems people face haven't gotten all that much better, and the fascists have made many decently successful smaller attempts at power but haven't quite succeeded in that big push for power. like the stuff that is planned in project 2025.
Specifically Contrapoints? Not sure why her specifically beyond her being badically one of the biggest leftist faces online., but thats pretty in line with a small but extremely loud number of very terminally online leftie types who are expecting perfect leftist candidates to run (ignoring that the US has literally never had a proper leftist political party) and trying to convince the rest of us more broadly left leaning progressives not to vote, even for the least shitty option available on the national level.
And yes she is a progressive and a leftist, all of her content is basically just exploring leftist ideas and concepts without calling attention to the fact that they're leftist ideas. Surprisingly people do actually like leftist policy if you don't say they're leftist.
I don't think fascism is capable of producing competent longterm leadership. Like the ideology preselects for loyalty above all, it's rabidly anti-intellectual and scorns anyone perceived as being an intellectual elitist. It's purely emotion driven and requires ever escalating emotional rhetoric to keep the based angry at external all-powerfully weak enemies (lazy mexicans stealing your jobs, sneaky jewish bankers crashed the entire economy, thuggish high school dropout gangbangers in the inner city are criminal masterminds responsible for all the drugs flowing through rural communities who would overrun everything if they were smart enough to unify, take your pick of contradictory scapegoat.)
That's not to say incompetence means harmlessness, there's a lot of blood that has been spilled throughout history due to incompetence.
