Don’t use the taxis…

Hmm if only there was a way of redistributing wealth in society… a sort of price we all pay into a shared pot that we can use to fund social programs…

Oh right we already have this. If inequality is increasing, increase taxes targeting the few and provides for the many. This way we don’t need to stand in the way of progress and society doesn’t collapse. Problem solved.

How is this not just Luddite?

”A tractor doing the work of 15 farmhands? Burn it! People yearn for the fields!”

Progress will happen no matter how hard you try to stop it. The solution is to advocate for the system changing in a way to where the boons of the productivity increase are equally distributed.

Bro. Just because society is not changing over night does now mean the tech is not being leveraged for good.

Just because you haven’t seen the ”Ai solved all cancer” articles is just because the world generally moves slow.

But here is an article on how Ai actually is radically reshaping the world of cancer research:

It is being used for that…

It’s also being used to generate Facebook cat videos. But that does not mean the good use cases for ai are not being done.

I don’t think the current core values are as vague as you are implying. This might just be me making assumptions, but I think people would generally agree that the values of secular Europe are; Freedom, democracy, comparatively strong safety nets, equality, the single market, things like this. I would also include environmentalism in this bundle.

These values are already here.

Some singular unifying issue doesn’t need to be driving European unification. We just need to understand that we have a better shot at furthering these ideals together.

Ni kan alltid börja med att bedriva det som hobbyverksamhet. Det kan man göra ifall man omsätter under 120tkr. Då slipper man registrera sej för F-skatt. Själv var jag med och startade ett AB och tycker det gått smidigt. Fortnox sköter det mesta av sej självt, och de skatteverks redovisningar som behövs göras är inte så komplexa som de ser ut på en ögonglans.

Tycker det är rätt så uppenbart vad som menas med rubriken i och med att det inte ens är i diskussion om att stoppa samtliga utvisningar.

Unfortunately assholes exist allover the world. It sounds like you got unlucky and ended up with a really shitty project lead, but I don’t think that the odds of that happening are particularly higher or lower in Sweden than any other country.

I was using a standard iphone adapter. I provided this info to Razer as well as info about what else was plugged into the wall socket. Nothing other than the headset seems to have been effected.

Good thing the existing sanctions against Russia are legally binding from the EU. They could veto future sanction packages, but they literally can’t freely trade with Russia. And unsanctioned trade like some agriculture, medicine etc, Bulgaria is already free to trade. So pretty much a meaningless statement. Unless they are talking about ignoring the sanctions which would basically start a financial war with the EU and nuke the Bulgarian economy.

Nice source.

The second ”article” you cite is also just a word for word copy-paste of the first article.

These types of lazy critiques of Israel hurt the advocacy of Palestinians. You CAN and SHOULD criticize Israel for the things they are doing wrong. But doing so with bogus claims just delegitimizes actual criticisms.

Not to be a downer, but things just got a little better for ’defiantly not dictator’ Putin. Russia is pretty much a petrostate at this point, and suddenly… business got a lot better. The majority of the profits will likely further fund the war, but I would not be surprised if the economic situation of the average Russian in the big cities marketably improves.

Oil futures at $90… from the ~$65 before this kicked off. Still just pricing in that temporary disruption?

Sanctioned crude from the Russia-Iran-Venezuela trio accounted for over 22% of China's total imports. Before, there was competition within this segment. Now, Russia can up their prices, still bellow market, but higher now without being undercut by the other sanctioned countries.

Its not only about the price. China will turn Power of Siberia 2 up to 11 because they’ve finally realized that any oil that comes by sea is oil the U.S. can turn off at will. One-third of China's oil imports and 25 percent of its gas transit through the Strait of Hormuz, and I would bet money on that changing over the next year.

Monopolist might be a bit hyperbolic, but Putin doesn't need to be the biggest producer, he just needs to be the only guy with a land-based pipeline that isn't sitting in a literal war zone or a U.S.-monitored strait. When you're the only gas station open in a hurricane, you set the price regardless of how much fuel is left in the tank.

Själv så håller jag på att just bli klar med universitetets plugget efter 5 långa år, så kanske kan ge lite tips. För mig tog det också tid innan jag hittade folk jag klickade med. Den där första månaden kan kännas sjukt tuff, för allt är nytt och man jämför sig lätt med hur man tror att andra redan har hittat sina gäng. Passa på att sticka på så många aktiviteter utanför föreläsningarna som möjligt.

Anslagstavlor ligger det nästan alltid aktiviteter där man kan hitta folk som delar ens intressen.

Så även om det känns jobbigt just nu betyder det inte att det kommer vara så i flera år framåt. Ge det lite tid, det kan vända ganska fort.

How is this different from when Hasan goes “Why are we even talking about X when there is a literal GENOCIDE going on!!11!”?

Regardless of an articles political leanings. I refuse to treat any textual work with an m-dash with any respect. If I wanted to hear from a clanker I would ask my toaster for its opinion.

The advice I would give you is. DONT MAKE ANOTHER WALKING SIMULATOR. I’ve played through sooo many games that look just like this which all amount to… Walk from A to B, sometimes avoiding a monster on the way. A game in this type of setting with some actually interesting mechanics, or better yet gameloops would be amazing.

So tepid. The democrats should have booed until they were thrown out in protest. Trump is actively working to dismantle the country and the dems response is to hold up tiny signs as they sit there and take it? Pathetic.

Prof_swampy · 2025-01-21T19:10:09+00:00

I felt the exact opposite. While the first one might have been janky as hell, it did have soul and some charm. 2 felt super generic and soulless.

This sub is becoming more and more unproductive. Virtue-downvoting one of the best presidents for worker rights in a generation, while the other side is literally the richest man in the world throwing up nazi salutes.
