"Ensuring that your population's basic needs can be met comfortably by mandating a livable wage is essential to creating and maintaining demand in the economy, after all you cant squeeze blood from a stone"........
"Wait, why are you only writing the last bit down?"
Idk, I feel like allegorical communication is a bit different than someone believing that building a telescope is going to destroy the universe because it takes up too much ram.
I mean there are literal cults out there murdering people because they think AI is going to punish people who dont help AI take over the world.
There is something inherent about spending too much time with computers that warps people's brains into compulsively perceiving everything around them in digital logic.
Fucking dude sounds and looks like if Kevin from the office turned into a fascist after the paper mill shut down.
This is why my garden has at least a couple sacrificial dill plants. A couple fat caterpillars can wreck a dill plant, the little guys love dill but it usually grows fast enough to satiate them until metamorphosis.
I think a lot of people get really attached to the plants in their garden and have a reflex to attempt to subvert nature by sanitizing it. But there's an old rhyme that I like to remember when it comes to remembering that we are part of a working ecology, not the masters of it.
Four seeds in a row: One for the mouse, One for the crow, One to rot, And one to grow.
Basically, expect most of your plants to fail before harvest. That has been the expectation since agriculture has been a part of human existence. It's only in modern times where we actually expect to reap all of which we sow.
dont see a reason not to, if its handled well.
Big caveat there. The big problem is you don't really know how people will really handle things until afterwards.
I think that's a massive mischaracterization of the elections in 33. Hitler mainly rose to power because the traditional nationalist party and centrist party thought they could control him and use his popularity to ward off a coalition from leftist and unionists. The centrists were among the first parties to vote in favor of the Enabling act, which granted legislative powers to Hitler's government.
It's a bit pedantic to say that Hitler rose to power without the majority because he only received 43.9% of the vote..... especially considering that over 17 million people voted for him and the next most popular candidate only received 7 million votes.
That really only makes sense if you are reviewing the election through the lens of someone used to a two party system. If we are going to evaluate it as if it were a two party system and combine the right and left into two coalitions......the Nazi, Centre, DNVP, and BVP would make up nearly 26million voters while the SPD and kpd would only make up nearly 12 million people.
Even though the Centre party was much more willing to work with the Nazi than the SPD, if we added their votes to the left coalition you'd still have 22m on the right and 16m on the left.
I don't think many people working outside pediatric healthcare really have an understanding about how comfortable healthcare providers are prescribing interventional care.
When diagnosing and treating a patient we come up with a plan of care that is weighted on total outcomes. Now this isn't a perfect system, for example we may not completely understand the potential harm of new medications. However, we are creating the plan of care with the best information we have at the time. Taking potential side effects and weighing it against the potential harm that could occur without any treatment.
I specialize in pediatric orthopedics and rehabilitation....so take anything I say about gender affirming care with a grain of salt. However, the potential outcome for not treating gender dysphoria as I understand it is pretty bad....self harm and suicide are about as bad as an outcome as one could imagine. Now weigh that against the medications that are usually prescribed for gender affirming care which are well known, and most often prescribed without negative effect for a plethora of treatments ranging from precocious puberty, to monitoring rate of which growth plates close.
Hormone replacement therapy has been going on for decades and is very common place at any hospital that atends to pediatric patients. To claim that intervention isn't appropriate for something with a potential total outcome as bad as suicide, based off "kids can't consent" is a ridiculous notion considering that the same drugs are often prescribed to make sure a child doesn't develop a limb length discrepancy after an orthopedic surgery.
This guy bought so many rare monkey tokens. Ai is impressive in some aspects, but it's not nearly as impressive as the marketing that drives the massive amounts of investment into it.
The US economy is doing anything it can to create growth, which is causing investors to create a bubble around AI that is "too big to fail".
Lol, it's not. The IRS doesn't care about your brokerage sales unless you're liable for a capital gains tax, which wouldn't happen if you are not making a profit.
Plus, if they received a huge pile of paper about your trades that didn't include a 1099-b, which is literally just like 1/4 of a sheet of paper....they would just request it from your brokerage.
Anyone who thinks the IRS is some evil org has just never done their own taxes and listens to propaganda from billionaires who don't think taxes should exist.
If you've ever really had a legal problem with the IRS, you were more than likely purposely evading taxes and deserve the trouble. They are actually really reasonable to work with, and usually bend backwards to resolve the issue in several different ways before pursuing anyone legally.
Babyboomers will literally die before acknowledging they've ever done anything wrong.
It's sad to say, but I honestly think the vaccines came out too soon. If the virus has another 6 months to a year to actually scare/eliminate some of the older people in Congress we wouldn't be in this mess. A literal miracle of science allowed people to engage in mass denialism so great that a significant portion of the population literally won't acknowledge millions of people died.
We saved a bunch of geriatric fucks just to allow them to ruin lives of their grandchildren.
Fascinating idea....... Can you please expand on this "squeeze blood from stone" idea of yours?
