That is good advice for visiting most countries, America it’s crazily complex and expensive to get a phone especially if you don’t have an address and American ID. It was cheaper to buy a cheap phone in the UK and connect to someone with decent roaming charges than it was to get a phone in the US
It’s a computer science term that’s been used for this field of study for decades, it’s like saying calling a tomato a fruit is a marketing decision.
Yes it’s somewhat common outside computer science to expect an artificial intelligence to be sentient because that’s how movies use it. John McCarthy’s which coined the term in 1956 is available online if you want to read it
Yes perfect example, people use quantum as the buzzword in every film so people think of it as a silly thing but when CERN talk about quantum communication or using circuit quantum electrodynamics then it’d be silly to try and tell them they’re wrong.
They did studies that demonstrated this kind of thing can make political progress more difficult because politicians don’t want to look like they’re weak to it and voters don’t want to be associated with it.
But they, and I guess you, don’t really care, it’s not about actually making positive change it’s about feeling like a hero and getting followers on social media.
Why would I care it’s probably stupid, all these groups have childishly stupid goals like ‘why don’t we just not use oil, I’m sure no one ever though of that, right?’ and ‘force everyone to live the lifestyle I personally happen to prefer’
Their plan always overlooks the fact that total chaos would ensue if anyone ever tried what they’re demanding, if they had anything worthwhile to say they’d be saying it in the relevant places and people would be listening.
It’s just the obvious trajectory of social media attention seeking within the disaffected aesthetic. Someone that loves to feel special and the center of attention picks a cause almost at random then throws themselves into the fray as loudly as possible.
It’s always happened, you can see them in every community and aesthetic - conspiracy theories, political types, sports fans… Protest communities are especially attractive to attention seekers, it’s great for social media clout to pretend that you’re doing these crazy things for a bigger cause
Of course your going to ignore it, it’s the inconvenient reality ignored by everyone that wants to feel like a hero because they wished for an easy solution to difficult problems
That was a fantastic one yeah. I really can’t imagine what it’s like being one of those people yelling about these crazy things and being wrong every single time
The sad reality for commercial porn lovers like yourself is the industry is doomed anyway, when we start fixing the poverty problem and transitioning from a greed based society it’ll be very hard to coerce women into forms of work like this. If we had a good UBI and housing program where people have access to resources to improve themselves and their material situation there aren’t going to be many women that choose to get fucked in the ass for several unsexy hours so the crew can film from all the right angles.
You should probably join with the campaign to stop ai completely if you want to maintain a society where enough women find themselves desperate enough to do porn that it can sustain the industry - imagine if automation efficiency gains enabled localized manufacturing from locally sourced materials thus significantly lowering the cost of living for all! Even women in third world countries wouldn’t be poor enough to need to join the commercial porn industry.
Yes sir if there’s one industry we need to protect it’s the one that uses poor and substance addicted women as sex objects to be exploited for capitalistic gain.
It’s interesting because no one could believe Alex Jones or any of these greedy mega/maga church leaders if they came at it neutrally, they believe because they want to, because acting like they believe it benefits them.
But then such a cult gets built up you start getting true believes who are so caught up in the cult that they can’t think anything else. People feel the need to prove how much they belive so they join these crazy groups and movements, they love putting on a big show of being a warrior for the cause but of course they don’t want to actually mess up their life because then they wouldn’t need the excuse to be selfish… So they do meaningless things like go to protect the boarder knowing full well what everyone knows - it’s just some roads with gates there’s nothing interesting or even slightly dangerous there.
You see that, these damn immigrants coming into our void and stealing our jobs! Messing it all up separating the water and the land, making light and all the creatures… they should send em back to the metadivine where they came from if they’re not going to integrate!
Pretty sure that’s what they want, destabilise the region with big wars and their brand of hate can have the victory it’s currently having in Afghanistan and Iran where girls can’t go to school and where they get beaten to death for showing their hair.
This is kinda racist, as much as you might not want to admit it the people in this world with darker skin are actually real whole people - they have emotions and feel pain and yes sometimes they have a bloodthirsty hunger for power no matter the human expense. They’re people and sometimes people are like that.
Your knowledge of history might only involve things from the European perspective so yes nothing happened before we got there and everything that does happen there we’re at the center of - that’s not actual reality though, read history from their perspective and often we’re just not that important.
The middle East conflicts are painfully complicated, different factions of Islam with different factions in those factions all with their own power struggles and conspiracies and political needs… Just like everywhere else,
Conspiracy loons are wild on Facebook so I know what you mean, it’s so hard not to poke them occasionally. I like that the feed is so broken you just start getting the most insane things - block as many shitty pages as you can, like all the ones that post about how a guy with one leg drove a truck 19 hours a day to pay for his grandsons double cancer so that means poor people shouldn’t get hand outs. Then you start getting into the real weeds, oh and block the bot farm ones, you’ll recognise them they post pickles comics and no human could bring themselves to do that.
When you start seeing Indian mechanical engineering memes like ‘how to design flat roof pitch common mistake 💯 slope degree 13.5° ☑️’ you’re getting close, you’ll start seeing things like ‘today it takes us two years to build a family home but ancient people could do it in three weeks’ the comments will be full of people who know every facet of whatever conspiracies the post is somehow referencing, which is normally a lot.
‘normies don’t realize how much easier life was when we had sonic resonance construction tools, if they did they’d rotate the sixth tower of Thomas Tesla to reopen the Elizabethan Toltec free energy portal’ and you think they’re just in their own world but everyone will be replying ‘yeah, robin Williams was killed because if you watch Mrs doubtfire at the same time as eyes wide shut the dialog syncs up and they warn biden will cover up the free energy machine’
Except of course they can say it in 20,000 words if they feel like it.
Yeah I could never get into everything being spread around and jumbled up, I have my own rapid and jumbled stream of intrusive and inane thoughts, I don’t need to see everyone else’s.
Really though I just hope the people who enjoy it find a good replacement, because if those idiots start shitting up the rest of my internets I’ll be pissed.
Because people are desperate to feel superior, for some reason it’s even more intense than normal with anything involving women or sex - I guess it makes people feel like expert sex havers if they can one up someone on female sex organ words?
Picking the most emotive term for everything has a very short lived power, everything is a genocide these days according to someone.
The reality is it’s a very complex situation with many facets, it’s an asymmetric war with very well funded and trained terrorists getting support from Iran and other fundamentalist groups - it’s not a small group of innocent people in an open air prison as you want to paint it, there’s a huge oil rich and bloody handed gang of despots who maintain power much like any despot by distracting everyone with ideological conflicts - Iran needs the region to hate Israel so they need a war like this, they get their trained terrorists to fire missiles they supply and that’s all they care about.
Israel has been making great progress politically in the region, the deal supplying Jordan with desalinated water transformed a crisis everyone predicted to be the start of the water wars into a partnership. With Saudi Arabia moving towards similar partnerships countries like Iran didn’t want to sit idle and outy happen. How should Israel and it’s allies respond?
Read the article, the world did not say it’s a genocide nor did they suggest a ceasefire - you’ve been caught up in emotive memes probably largely pushed by Russia et all and are using headlines you don’t understand but like the sound of.
You’re acting like you don’t know how the world works and it’s silly, why would anyone expect you to have a sensible opinion when every response involves you willfully ignoring the most basic facets of life.
Yes people use emotive language for political and personal reasons, yes people make dramatic claims about world events for a variety of reasons on both sides.
I don’t know if you’re aware but October 9th 2023 was a while ago, it’s getting close to February 2024 - this means we can use a magic tool called retrospect to evaluate statements. We do this by looking at the statement and seeing if the thing said happened, in this case the thing said did not happen - in fact the rafah crossing was opened for humanitarian aid only nine days later so we didn’t need to wait so long, or we could have looked December 17 when the Kerem shalom crossing was opened for aid, or whenever maritime aid corridor was opened which is how British and EU aid is entering gaza…
The UK has delivered aid into gaza and the west Bank via UN agencies with a £87 million commitment, USA $100 million, EU €100 million plus extra as individual donations from member nations…
So the reality very strongly disproves the statement made and therefore we can in retrospect discount it from being useful in your argument.
Yes and as the article actually says all they actually said is
“take all measures within its power to prevent the commission of all acts within the scope of Article II of the Genocide convention.”
Which is an obvious non statement, of course Israel is going to continue to abide by the various conventions which it’s signed upto and which according to them they’ve been obeying, something they expect to be proven in the case that’s going ahead.
This is a court agreeing to hear a case, it’s like when they agree to hear a libel case and the person is told not to make defaming comments in the lead to the trial - it says nothing about their actual guilt or intent, it says we’re going to start trying to find out.
I guess my brain works differently, I couldn’t just ignore the fact that the animal I’m eating did have the personality of a real living cow or chicken, cows sing and play, they’re curious and friendly and make friends - chickens mostly just recognise me as someone who carries food to them but they have personalities and emotions when you get to know them. I know that about them so if I was going to eat one of them I’d think about that and think about the brutality of their life and death.
Code is just code. It is (so far) just a series of logic choices that determine which pixel to light up or how fast to vibrate the speaker - it might look like personality but when you kill it there is no fear in it or pain, it doesn’t feel anything when you kill it’s children or it’s friends. I guess I just see numbers when I look at a video game, when I look at a chicken nugget I see real suffering and real death
