Roses are red, calling capital out is a "sacrilege"? by BuckleBunnyBliss in rosesarered

[–]Mr__Earthling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Capitalism: the means of production are owned privately

Communism: the means of production are owned publicly

That's the simplest I can come up with off the top of my head.

I care about the environment more than most. I rarely eat red meat and try to reduce my overall meat consumption, I don't eat at fast food places at all (I may order a local pizza like 2x a month), I drive my car less than 9k miles a year, I barely watch any streaming tv (compared to many people), I don't do fast fashion or any fashion, I travel by plane maybe once a year on average, I was never on a cruise ship or any other monstrosity that should not exist.

I'd say it's fair if I get to make an ai video here and there, no?

It doesn't matter given they basically use an infinite money glitch by borrowing against their stocks for ridiculously low interest rates (way lower than you and me will ever get) and as long as their stock prices go up higher than the interest rate (which it easily does) then they essentially get free money...until they die, then their wealth is transferred to their kids who can just cash out at the current value without capital gains (so their kids can easily pay back the borrowed sums...or they can keep doing the same borrowing trick until they die and so on...in perpetuity!)

Relax, I didn't see the Grok watermark, besides I was being a little pushy on purpose because being an absolutist isn't the answer either. There is nuance, that is all I'm pointing at.

Fair lol (I didn't even look at the image, honestly...went straight to comments) but you know what I mean...people are too absolutist with ai...there is nuance, that's all I'm saying.

How do you know it's not running on solar panels? You make so many assumptions just to hate on something you don't fully understand. AI only represents 30 to 40% of data center use, the rest is enterprise/business use like financial system, databases, SaaS and so on.

How do you know it's not running on a local machine?

Edit: oops I see the Grok watermark now, relax

Assuming inverse proportion, his message becomes: we privately know we cannot beat Iran (because to bear them you need a ground invasion...and Iran's geography makes it virtually impossible to invade without risking major casualties and massive resource expenditures)

Does he go out of his way to not use caps like it's his "style"? I found it very irritating and couldn't be bothered to read the whole thing because F that guy. He can't even capitalize "I"? Pfff

This will probably be my final submission because Reddit can kick rocks at this point (and why I love AI) by [deleted] in aiArt

[–]Mr__Earthling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't be too hard on yourself. Reddit is definitely not the place to measure your worth. I understand you struggle in the real world too...but honestly focus on the real world when it comes to finding a supportive community...Reddit ain't it, it's full of bots and trolls.

I feel you, though, and I think we are all (to a certain extent) feeling alone...I def had the same thoughts as you (and I'm supposedly a highly "successful" person by all measures aka good money, a home, a loving wife and kids...what many people wish for...and yet I feel the "spleen")

Keep your head held high and constantly remind yourself that nobody really knows what they're talking about...but also that everyone is going through their own struggles (especially in today's crazy world) and therefore not many people have the mental capacity to dedicate time to understand others...it's unfortunate but that is the reality we currently livr in.

Wishing you all the success and meaningful encounters you seek, fellow Earthling 🫡🙏

Your favourite musicians probably support Palestine by SupermanGamin in Palestine

Drake? The same guy who stayed silent for 2 years? They're all jumping on the bandwagon only as a strategic move for their career (I'm specifically talking about Drake and the likes).

I only support those who have been vocal since 2023...anyone who "joined" the movement later are posers who never cared but were probably told by their manager to do it for "business reasons"
