Yeah this is a much better analogy, if you think cars are useless you probably don’t have relatives in places where the bus goes maybe twice a day if there is a bus going at all.
And if you think that commuting to your job within the city where there should be well built out public transport is acceptable then you are also mistaken
I mean I have learned the word itself really early, as for what it means that’s quite different.
i like this video on fascism, and has a quite good video essay series about how fascism works nowadays online, at the workplace etc.
The political ideology is Fascism, unless someone is a neo-nazi calling them nazi is weird, they are fascists.
In late October 2021, Elon Musk was challenged to end world hunger by David Beasley, the director of the UN’s World Food Programme. Beasley claimed that a small portion of Musk’s wealth could solve world hunger, and Musk responded on Twitter that he would sell Tesla stock to do so, provided the UN could provide a detailed, transparent accounting of how the $6 billion would be spent. The WFP then released a plan, but Musk did not donate the money.
Because it’s more likely that he got lucky once and his short position was strong enough that he could keep paying the premiums than it is that he is some super genius who knew something noone else knew
Isn’t this a stupid attitude?
Wasn’t the dot-com bubble anything other than people showing the internet in your face and how it’s a game changer 24/7.
We are simply at the peak of the initial hype curve of the Gartner hype cycle, the bubble will burst soonish and lots of companies go bankrupt, then real use cases will emerge where it’s actually revolutionary.
I don’t know which youtuber but one had a good video about it, at some point in the past, all hype was around drones and delivering stuff to your front yard, turned out that was stupid yet those things found their niche, e.g. some medicine deliveries to remote location in Africa and AED devices that can fly out to people.
Would be nice, I want to buy some ETFs at a discount
I can recall a few standout things, mostly highly emotional or embarrassing, but that’s it
Fun fact, in some countries like mine, downloading is completely legal, it’s the uploading back or seeding that’s illegal.
Red hat vs red coat fascists
That’s disgusting, I prefer furry-hostile tabs!
Ah my bad, I thought slur and swear are synonymous for some reason, I stand corrected.
Though I would argue both dick and cunt are kinda slurs as they imply negative things about a specific gendered thing, at least that’s how I feel about them.
Weirdly I don’t feel the same way about the word for bunch of sticks and the one that rhymes with regarded
Because for me they have a specific meaning that is completely irrelevant to what they mean originally.
Since when is cunt not a swearword you fucking donut
I recommend two good videos about superhero movies.
1 - Defenders of the Status Quo
2 - The people vs Clark Kent
Didn’t as much lose it as they called FIFA (an organization worse than EA)'s bluff when FIFA wanted like a billion for the naming rights.
That’s mostly because the west has become a bad place to build things, bike-shedding and a general loss of nuclear building expertise lost due to successful campaigning against nuclear by the fossil fuel industry.
We could be scaling up nuclear right now to help the goals for 2050 to be reached and then coast for a while as renewables pickup pace and fusion is finally cracked.
But no only thing people care about is immediate cost.
Yes renewables are cheaper per kw at the moment but they are also putting a lot of strain on the grid that’s not accounted for that’s expensive to upgrade, they are also not scaling up fast enough, which means there will be added cost to climate change.
Vs we could build nuclear reactors at a loss and bring on serious gigawatts of clean energy in a decade that would provide a stable baseline.
if you plan on batteries that requires lots of precious metals we will need elsewhere to aid in the transition to electric power.
Umm, what about sodium-ion that are now getting put into production?
Now it will be for the US fascists instead of chinese fascists, Nazis were german.
Kind of sad that you have to root for a fascist dictator prick to keep the fascist wannabe dictator prick in check.
There is no economical way to run buses multiple times an hour to bumfuck nowhere.
Just like there is no economical way to run 4 lane highways through cities and having 3 lane roads in the city all occupied by cars.
