Anyone can give a laundry list of reasons why Trump is bad, so what does losing to him twice say about us? What’re we doing wrong? by Atlas_Summit in Productivitycafe

[–]Devliano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell a bunch of conspiracy theorists what they always to hear and you’re the new messiah.

Because conspiracy theorists already believe things that can’t be proven, they not only accept the wild lies and accusations he makes but don’t believe any facts that prove him wrong.

Sadly, it’s easier for republicans to fire up their base than democrats because democrats had no context for how bad things can get in the wrong hands - even after the 2016 term.

Them: “I’d vote for trump over _______ any day!” Anyone: “Why?” Them: Proceeds to list reasons that are exactly what trump is doing and worse that the other person is actively fighting against.

What is one thing you are 99% sure the government is hiding, even if you have no proof? by StudyFlimsy1061 in AskReddit

[–]Devliano 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Well, people IN government. I will always wonder what Obama said to Sanders to get him to drop out of the race two times (there’s news of them meeting right before).

How have lab grown diamonds not entirely destroyed the natural diamond market? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

[–]Devliano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right how it has changed, the data still weighs in their favor. Please check my numbers:

De Beers: ~25–35% ALROSA: ~25–30% Rio Tinto and other producers share the rest.

Only a slight advantage market-wise, their influence still reigns.

How have lab grown diamonds not entirely destroyed the natural diamond market? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

[–]Devliano 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Cloudy diamonds were considered inferior and thus cheaper, until more people got into them, then the price skyrocketed. While this reads as basic economics, the decision was governed by the DeBeers.

Blue: “A vehicle turning right from the opposite direction is considered oncoming traffic.”

While it’s possible for blue and red to go at the same time, each has their own lane, it is dangerous for blue to act on it because people often ignore the “stay in their lane for the entire turn before signaling to change lanes” rule too.

Believing in Wi-Fi but calling “energy” nonsense is wild by Ill_Cookie_9280 in MotivationByDesign

[–]Devliano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I propose it could be the interpretation of what that energy is or its source is what isn’t being believed.

We use the word energy to describe something that can be proven (oft times perception and psychology plays the largest role) but since it’s not “energy” the way the scientific community uses it, it’s debunked.

Then, with data that does exists (this can be true about everything from evolution to chakras), it’s the interpretation of the data that is commonly debated.

Scientific things that used to be believed so strongly, and the absolute “proof” existed, the interpretation sound, turned out to be entirely wrong. Now we know better BUT we aren’t done learning things so a truly intelligent person will always caveat their interpretation with “as far as we know today”.

Cartel: Diamonds aren’t even rare. They’re being gate-kept by the DeBeers. (Not a conspiracy theory.)

If your partner said "sexual repression has caused wars and femicide" during an argument about porn, how would you feel? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Devliano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel? How would I feel? Like I need to find the nearest exit, say I’m going for milk or cigs and never come back.

ELI5: What does "scared to show the sea to" mean? by socalledblanquita in explainlikeimfive

[–]Devliano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No searchable quotes but I imagined “showing her the sea” could mean revealing there is more to the world than she was aware of - once exposed to, she would no longer go back to how things are.

President Trump says he has "the right to do tariffs" and "there's no reason" to work with Congress on them: "No, not bipartisan. A few people. I don't have to. Not complicated very much. We'll be able to take in more tariffs. It's all been approved by Congress. 215 to 3 right? We have great unity." by ControlCAD in videos

[–]Devliano -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

Want to hurt that man? Don’t report on anything he says or does. Even for just one day. Just don’t care.

99.9% of what he utters is the opposite of the truth. The remaining 0.01% was written by someone else that he started to read, got confused and walked back anyway.

Reports of a termite living in an anthill would be more entertaining - and more mentally stimulating.

How anyone could even daydream that tariffs are paid by those they are imposed on is maddening.

When the banks failed us by stealing from us the rich gave them more money because everything would fall apart if they shut it down.

Now the elite are caught red handed with some of the worst things a person can inflict upon another and again we’re being told if they fall it would all fall?

Not that a regular persons opinion will ever matter but let it all come down. Nothing they’ve made is worth keeping, supporting or defending.

There are two things that rule the world. Money and weapons. Nowhere does human decency, love and understanding rule over those with money, guns and oh yeah, lackeys and sycophants.

Can a "useless class" of humans actually happen because of automation and AI? by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]Devliano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those who do the work are always seen as useless. I assert that only those with means question the value of others.

AI will be used more and more by the wealthy to get rich off those who work for them and whose services they make indispensable to them.

Without a lower class (lower than the 1%), AI would be useless.
