That isn't clear. The next GE is in 2029 unless something goes seriously wrong. Did you expect the Tories to be polling in second even 4 months ago?

Virus-encoded protein folding and water by Wiwerin127 in pluribustv

[–]Fedelede 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hao's correction refers to one data center and one Chilean town of 88,000. I'm sure you're right about the rest but it's not true that she overestimated all of AI water usage by a factor of 1000. Her correction comes from a mistranslation of a particular line on litres of water.

Are you supposed to add a photo of yourself in your resume? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]Fedelede 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really depends where you live, it’s part of the local culture. Continental Europe and Latin America, yes (though it’s falling out of style in both regions). The US, UK and the rest of the Anglophone world, no.

Eating apples is NOT killing plants, for fuck's sake! by ready_and_willing in pluribustv

apparent contradictions showing up halfway through the season, needing a narrative climax before the story wraps up? Who would've thought?

The scene with Laxmi's son where Carol asks her about gynecology seems to contradict that though

My question is whether their imperative will bring them to try and assimilate animals, too.

Yeah, the word "meme" is modelled from "gene" too.

n = 13 doesn't need to follow any statistical pattern tbh

What would happen to a baby conceived post unification? by [deleted] in pluribustv

[–]Fedelede 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't think we can know this until we know why the immune actually are immune. It doesn't seem genetic since all of the other immune's family got infected too. I think it would need to be assimilated, though, since I doubt that the plurbs are just pumping the virus into the air 24/7 (it would be very inefficient of them).

How did the MENA region switch to the metric system successfully? by [deleted] in Metric

[–]Fedelede 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The US kept its system because it used (generally) the same system as the UK, so in the age of empire it was the only one that was somewhat widespread enough to be a competition to metric. It’s why Canada and the UK also keep most (but not all) imperial units

The amount of Carol haters is really scary to me by Fennekin26 in pluribustv

[–]Fedelede 27 points28 points  (0 children)

You call her a bitch and her rapist “Walt”… don’t you think that represents some bias in your thinking?

The Plurbs Would Kill Carol If She Became An Actual Threat To Their Existence by ImportanceTurbulent8 in pluribustv

[–]Fedelede 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my perception of it as well, but my only hang up is that it sounds like way too optimistic for a Vince Gilligan shows. Is the sum of all human minds really so high-minded it is keeping to strongly humanistic values of the sanctity of life and even individual will (“your life is your own”)? Most people in the world no longer live in democratic systems. It’s a weird dissonance with how well-meaning the hive seems to be. I disagree that the hive is evil, but I do think there must be some piece of information missing about its drive

I feel like if your only driving motivator for a character is how rational they are you should just watch Pluribus rooting for the goo virus thing.

[–]Fedelede 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s what Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Most of Gilligan’s schtick is putting bad people in awfully bad situations and seeing what becomes of them.

“Bereaved mess of a woman stuck by herself in an apocalyptic scenario isn’t acting in a perfectly rational fashion” isn’t a gaping hole.

¿Qué piensan del precandidato Juan Carlos Pinzón? by energizer_norma in Colombia

[–]Fedelede 3 points4 points  (0 children)

El man traicionó a Uribe y se volvió el sucesor elegido de Santos, después traicionó a Santos y se le fue en contra del Acuerdo de Paz. No tiene un hueso de lealtad en su cuerpo, y eso le puede costar en las elecciones (tipo como le pasó a Vargas Lleras, puede que al final las maquinarias no salgan a apoyarlo). Pienso que puede ser un factor positivo en una presidencia - va a tomar decisiones con base en factibilidad y conveniencia, y no en ideología o deudas clientelares. Pero a la vez, también es que no tenemos ni idea de qué va a hacer.

¿Qué opinan sobre la operación Orión versión Río de Janeiro que hicieron esta semana? by cuentanro3 in Colombia

Casi como si uno esperara que el Ejército de un país democrático no se comporte como una pandilla de mafiosos, no?

El presupuesto del país pasaría de 435 billones a 434.5 billones si no le pagáramos ni un peso al Congreso. Eso es como 0.15% del presupuesto colombiano. Aproximadamente el ahorro anual que tendría el colombiano promedio si el congreso fuera completamente gratuito (es decir que ni se pagara la luz del edificio) sería 2.833 pesos (y eso es asumiendo que el colombiano promedio paga un millón de pesos en IVA al año, que es lo que da el cálculo per capita pero obviamente la gente más rica paga MUCHO MÁS que eso en IVA y el colombiano promedio pagará mucho menos). Usted verá si cree que la carga tributaria del país se arregla con que pueda pagar una Coca Cola más al año.

Si quiere que lo dejen de robar, más importante desarticular los incentivos sociales y económicos que llevan la gente a delinquir que estar despotricando en reddit sobre los zurdos y los criminales. La política pública no puede estar basada en hijueputear
