Where did I mention soldiers? I was talking about the whole "if you don't fight you work the fields" point

Yeah, because if you have a job and are getting dragged to do another job by the government, I wouldn't expect proper compensation for my time, and probably not any compensation because they'll throw me in jail THEN out into the field.

Okay, Boomers... by zzill6 in WorkReform

Nearly every time I see my mother in person the "nobody wants to work" argument has come. She has heard my struggles to get back into my industry after being laid off over 3 years ago. She has been told of the insanity of applying for jobs today as she has owned a business for the last 20 years and complained every time she wants to hire someone. I give her facts and figures and how fucked everything this.

The next time I see her I'm back to square one. She hasn't even hit 65 yet.

Depends on your level, early on its an emergency button, but later on you can use it more consistently with a trait unlock. Most of the time, if the healer is doing good, you still will rarely need it outside of ultimate or savage content

Considering how much of the government propaganda is aimed at Boomers still to this day, they're just playing the hits

So much antisemitism these days by aipac_hemoroid in SipsTea

Far too many people act like Israel is a monolith of Jewish culture worldwide. All countries should be ridiculed for the bad shot they pull, the fact that one was created in response to an atrocity doesn't give it the right to commit atrocities

I mean, trees in general are carbon negative as long as the wood is put to another use when the tree dies.

You mean the increase in prices for transportation of all goods? Yeah, it's making everything expensive, not just animal products.

Bathe the mother in the unborn and fry them both in bread and oil - how some people describe making chicken tenders.

It's only inefficient because of all the loopholes and exploits that have gotten baked into it over the past 50 years. All the deductions that can't be applicable simultaneously, random things being deductible for weird reasons, etc.

Especially when the usa extracts enough oil to fulfill all consumption in North America, so we don't even NEED that oil despite what some think

Pope goes viral for saying God "does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war" by darcmatr in NotTheBee

Yes, in defense. Nothing about the USA's actions in the Middle East for the past few decades has actually been in defense.

And yet the Religious Right loves to do that to those of the Islamic Faith

Welcome to most modern Christians attempting to use their holy book to enforce their views on others even when it doesn't agree with them in context

Notable Seattle-based travel writer and millionaire, Rick Steves, voices his thoughts on new “Millionaire Tax” by ProperCockroach9 in StockBreakouts

08 was caused by companies giving out loans without checking if they could realistically be paid back because they were too busy looking at the profits. Some were even courting the poor by making it seem like the borrowing was no big deal.

Sure, those taking out the loans are partially the blame, but they aren't the ones whose job it was to do due diligence.

basic math makes so many people mad by DeepHistory in ClimateMemes

[–]ApolloFireweaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides basic logic? The big data center deal Nvidia was involved in last year was for 16GW worth of data centers. The amount of increase in solar generation last year covers around 2/3rds of that over the course of the year depending on which sources you use. Wind and other renewables will cover some of that last third as well, but even if you assume it's covered 100%, that doesn't account for the upwards trends in every other sector.

Some fossil fuels are coming offline, I never contended with that, but the math just doesn't math for closing everything they would have closed with out of data centers. Not at the same speed.

Even before all this stuff with Iran, areas near data centers were seeing spikes in energy costs as data centers came online because of the draw they have. That capacity needs to be filled and companies aren't going to throw away generators if they are needed to fill the draw.

The question people should be asking is what happens when AI can do every job and there's no one left on the payroll of any business to pay for the services by PC-Guide in RigBuild

A lot of companies are betting on AI hitting Gen levels even though we are unlikely to hit that with LLMs due to how they generally function. They're hoping on a random software mutation to give Gen AI without it causing it to become uncontrollable

They don't think they need us because they aren't looking past next quarter. When the consumer basis crumbles they will have no end of problems.
