I’ve been discussing with my sister (a big fan of her cats) about what lives we would save in an emergency. I think a human live is worth more than an animal’s no question asked but she thinks otherwhise. So to end this discussion I’m writing here....
Gonna change your question to “dog”, as that’s what I have
I would choose basically any other life over my worst enemy’s. In a choice between them and no one, I’d save no one. I feel you don’t understand how emnity works.
Better question, dog,
because he’s a member of my family that I’m responsible for. As annoying as his theivery is and as bad as his farts are, he’s my friend. Would you choose a stranger over one of your friends?
Exactly the type of fucking idiot that’s never created art in their life.
“Art is paintings of horses”-ass motherfucker.
The reason you can’t make art isn’t because you’re bad at drawing or painting and need AI to help you, it’s because you don’t have the creativity to overcome those limitations. No matter what words you put into stable diffusion, you will only create pictures, not art - there’s no meaning underlying the piece, you just typed “t-rex with massive tits” and called the output art because you can’t tell the difference.
>fights off 5 ringwraiths while protecting a gang of hobbits

>kills an unreasonable number more at Helm’s Deep
>beats up an actual ghost
>just one of those supersoldiers could easily kill like 10 regular humans, but here he is again just mowing them down
>charges the entirety of mordor on foot: survives
But yeah, I’m sure the regular human of above average skill will be fine.
What if the wheels fell off every single car in the world at the same time? I can come up with ridiculous hypotheticals too.
What about all the ambulances that no longer have to pick up to traffic collision victims? What about the ambulances being able to transport people faster due to the roads being clear of traffic? It’s not just a ridiculous hypothetical, it’s one that’s much more likely to happen with cars around.
just that it will take a very long time, because the complexity is spread across several very distinct scientific disciplines, integrating them is a challenge of its own (again, watch the videos),
Dutch managed it, why wouldn’t the chinese, with a centrally planned economy that can directly integrate the different disciplines, be able to?
packaging this into a system that meets the scale and reliability requirements to make it commercially viable hasn’t been reproduced to date.
Communists in shambles - how could anyone fund science for the sake of progress instead of making money?
If you’re gonna do RP shopping, you gotta establish before the session that’s gonna be what’s happening so everyone can come up with ways to interact with the scenario.
You also absolutely have to (looking at you in particular, 5e) establish availabilities and exact prices beforehand. The back and forth of “how much does X cost -> I can’t afford that” is the biggest waste of time when shopping.
Wow, fuck you very much. Trump’s FAILED coup is more dangerous and egregious that Bush’s SUCCESSFUL coup? Trump’s complete lack of power is more dangerous than Bush redestroying the middle east on false pretences of chemical and nuclear weapons, mobilising terrorist attacks and organisations worldwide?
The only excuse for such a pathetically stupid statement is that you’re a little baby who wasn’t around for any of the last 2 decades and are just making things up based on vibes. “wah wah wah, I can’t remember bush so nothing must have happened”. You are an embarrassment. Delete your account and jump in the ocean.
Of course they aren’t, and you’re making another nonargument - nobody says there aren’t Nazis in Russia, but either way Nazis existing in Russia has 0 effect on Nazis existing in Ukraine. The most you can claim is it’s the pot calling the kettle black, but you’re going for outright denial instead.
Truly pathetic article. It’s only counterpoints are “nuh uh” and “zelensky is Jewish”, which are nonarguments. Numerous Ukrainian battalions are festooned in Nazi iconography, and half the news articles about Ukraine from before 2022 were about it’s Nazi problem. It’s too late to deny it now, the cat’s been out of the bag for years.
God, you’re such a big dumb idiot of a lib. That’s the definition of a democratic socialist, not a social democrat - you can tell by the way one of the groups are call socialists and the others are called democrats. Not only did you mix up your definitions, but you never actually managed to define democratic socialist - do you really know what the difference is if you can’t even remember to talk about one of them? The answer, scrolling down your post history to where you called yourself a socdem, is no, you think they’re the exact same thing, because you don’t even have a surface level understanding of leftism. It only takes 5 minutes in leftist spaces to discover that anarchists, socialists, and communists of all flavour hate socdems for exactly your “no really, somehow we’ll manage to vote socialism in this time” attitude, but you’ve never spent a single minute in them, because you’re not a leftist.
My version of leftism is called Marxism and is based in historical reality and current material conditions. Your version is fantastical utopianism that’s convinced the elite are just going to give up the reigns any day now.
For me it is the fact that our blood contains iron. I earlier used to believe the word stood for some ‘organic element’ since I couldn’t accept we had metal flowing through our supposed carbon-based bodies, till I realized that is where the taste and smell of blood comes from.
Quantum superpositioning. Schrödinger was right, it’s absolutely ridiculous and the cat can’t be alive and dead at the same time, box or not.
The problem is it provably does work that way, or at least in a way that is indistinguishable from it, ridiculous or not, and we don’t really know why. We’ve learnt many of the rules, managed to trap particles in superimposed states, even discovered that plants take advantage of it to transport energy more efficiently, and it’s just a thing that happens, an apparently fundamental rule of existence. And it doesn’t make any fucking sense.
Observation in quantum physics isn’t about a consciousness being able to see it happen, but about it interacting with the universe in a way that could potentially be measured. There doesn’t need to be a physical observer, just a theoretically measurable result of it interacting with something.
British colonialism killed a whole lot more than that in India, that’s just the figure for the worst 40 years. There’s plenty more millions either side.
