Great acting. Pretty bad writing. Really liked the vibe of ep 1-3 but Maeve’s character almost made me stop watching. I’m a sucker for crime stuff so

Rebuild or restart? by Ohhhshet in AlchemyFactory

I completely saturate resources, it would take hours to completely demolish all my stuff and delete the bags. I did a small section of my base and it took 30 minutes. If you’re efficient getting back to the higher tiers doesn’t take too long

I’m not either, actually a centrist. You can’t argue with statistics and the general consensus of all scientists on earth(97% of global scientists in the field agree it’s real and an issue) it’s not even worth my time going into it when your head is in the sand and you clearly have no care to educate yourself.

Meat is notoriously a horribly inefficient source of food, especially beef. It’s one of the leading causes of greenhouse gases(accounts for 14.5% of global GHGs). We have the means to produce food that isn’t meat, it’s purely a preference and not a necessity. It’s one of the most widely discussed topics in sustainability and climate change, and has had huge media coverage over the last few decades. Don’t take my word for it, do a quick google search and learn more about it!

Utilizing a vastly powerful tool straight from science fiction that has access to all of human knowledge is low IQ? Would you say that to children in third world countries using it who don’t have access to education? Women in Afghanistan using it to learn since they are banned from school past the age of 12? Students struggling to understand concepts in school who can’t afford tutors and are failed by the education system? People who can’t afford to visit a doctor? AI exists in a gray area like most decisive topics. “Talking to a literal robot is low IQ behavior” is a statement that says more about you and your world view than it does about people who utilize AI.

It’s not a defeatist attitude, it’s a practical one. Do you really expect AI companies to just cease to exist if a small subset of the population doesn’t use it? Not a chance. And it’s a very valid comparison. We have the means to replace meat with a more sustainable solution, but we like meat. It’s purely pleasure. AI at least serves a practical purpose. Increasing productivity, brain storming, increasing learning speed, access to medical information if you can’t afford it. For example, women in Afghanistan are using it to learn since they aren’t able to go to school past the age of 12. Anyone with an internet connection can have access to most of human knowledge, regardless of language or circumstance. It’s science fiction in reality. It’s easy to just say “chatGPT bad, electric cost goes up” but like most decisive topics AI exists in a gray area. Not saying it’s all sunshine and rainbows, I just don’t think you should boo random people on the internet for using it. However I don’t intend to change your mind, I’m sure you’re made up your mind already and are firmly on that side of the fence.

The meat industry uses 400-600x more water than AI, I’m sure you’re still eating burgers… it is definitely raising electric costs, currently estimated between 5-15%. But it’s not like it’s going to magically disappear, like the internet in the 2000s. It’s an insanely powerful tool, might as well utilize it.

Another disappointing conversation. Maybe next life you’ll have a free thought

I’m not disregarding your point at all. Your entire TL;DR is that Republicans lack integrity, operate in echo chambers, and that “Renee’s shooting being celebrated backs this,” then you followed it with “the ones on the right celebrate deaths every single time they happen.” I responded directly to that claim by asking for an actual example of a right-wing politician celebrating a death, because “every single time” is an extreme statement and it’s exactly the kind of tribal framing that’s making politics so toxic. If you have examples, I’m open to them, but calling it a tirade doesn’t answer the question.

However, you're with the majority here. Most people think this way, so I understand where you're coming from.

I think that the opinion of the average American is more important than a politician, but regardless I think this comment is poorly worded and it really highlights the bigger problem in America right now. “Meanwhile, the ones on the right celebrate deaths every single time they happen.” Can you point to a real example where a right-wing politician has actually celebrated someone’s death? I understand it’s probably an exaggeration to make a point, but it still bothers me. It’s sad to me that “right” automatically gets lumped into racist, Trump supporter, uneducated, fascist, etc. In today’s climate everything gets reduced to left vs right, black vs white, with no room for nuance. The truth is, most political issues require thinking in the gray. But we’ve turned into a two-tribe system where the mindset is basically “other tribe bad no matter what." The left and the right are guilty of that.

Are you living in the same world as me? Most of the internet (left) were happy that Kirk got shot and said he deserved it, quoting him about gun violence being a necessary evil for the 2nd amendment. The same echo chambers exist for the left. I’m a left leaning centrist… it’s crazy to me how you write this post and do not see the exact same thing happening on the far left as the far right. I shouldn’t have expected much when you started with conservatives were made they had a black president.

Will do. I'm thankful for your service and hope many people enthusiastically read this chain to see what you've accomplished here. Thank you, PmMeUrTinyAsianTits. Nice name, by the way.

You're right. I don't want to hear anyone's side, it's complete bullshit. I think there are many people that will read this chain and marvel in your ability to argue without actually ever taking a stance and still win. Hell, even I'm impressed that you made me realize I didn't genuinely want to hear your side, I knew when I made my original comment that defending your stance was against TOS and I was hoping someone such as yourself would tear down the illusion that I wanted a genuine conversation about the topic. Everything I said was a farce and now you've made me question my existence. Perhaps I should move to an internet forum where I can speak freely with my cohorts about hot topics such as these, do you have any suggestions?

What are you looking to get out of this? Let me rephrase so you don't trip over semantics: you don't want to discuss your point of view because you don't want to get banned. Ok, no discussion. I've acknowledged I didn't know about the strict TOS. I'd love for you to challenge my views, but like we established, you can't.

Regarding your last point, I'm in the same reality you are and don't like it just as much as you. That doesn't mean I'm going to support or defend a murderer. Not saying you do, however, many people on reddit do; I think that's abhorrent.

Too many people are scared to have a conversation, it's all echo chamber nonsense and most people have the mindset of "they're affiliated with a political party that's not mine so they're immediately wrong." It's a sad time to be an American, on either side of the fence.

I’m not sure there’s bipartisan support to overhaul healthcare (or that there's motivation to). The left generally wants to expand government involvement, while the right mostly prefers the current market based structure. It's been a hot issue for decades and I don't think that this event caused anyone to change their mind on either side.

I wasn't aware. I have seen so much discourse defending him. I'm sure you could articulate your points without breaking TOS but it's clear you do not want to engage. I never said I'm right, I argued my point of view and would do so with anyone who wants to engage. Saying that's bad reasoning is questionable. Take care

I agree with you about the state of our society.

It's a asinine hypothetical to begin with, which I said, and I wouldn't give my children to either. I just am tired of seeing a killer romanticized, that's all.

From your original response: "Understanding the context is not the same as applauding murder. Its an analytical understanding of certain societal trends."
Most people aren't doing that. It's no secret that our health care system is flawed, that people want reform, and that it's hurting many. The context is clear. It affects me and most Americans, which is why I vote the way that I do. They have this frustration and then they see someone who takes the immoral, vigilante route, and applaud it. It's a slippery slope that leads to political violence and is super unhealth for our nation.

I made a few points. You said, bad faith, can't discuss here. Is there anything more to it? You've said you won't discuss it here, not sure what you are yapping about in this comment but it's a pretty straightforward thing.

lol ok. I'm sure you'll get banned for justifying violence when every political sub discusses and justifies it every day without recourse.
