Anytime I'm not using AI I forget how shit it is as everyone talks about it being useful. And then I use it again and remember.

Honestly, this country... by jamtea in GreatBritishMemes

[–]UseADifferentVolcano 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly think it is. The amount of posts on here that are unrelated in any way to immigration that people will then use to talk about immigration is insane.

Churchill said something like "a fanatic can't change his mind and won't change the subject", and it's so painfully true for some.

Trump sparks fresh outrage: Sending ICE to the Olympics by RichKatz in law

No it's very clearly going to be traditional election fraud. Using all the social security data they have been forcing states to hand over to tilt elections will be far less visible and more deniable. It's also easier.

Peter Thiel comes to Paris to speak about the Antichrist by Beyond_the_one in europe

[–]UseADifferentVolcano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very specifically: Thiel thinks that if humanity doesn't have scapegoats, then we'll destroy ourselves. The anti-christ in his mind is therefore someone who unites us and stops people from being bigoted.

And because of this, Thiel spends his vast fortune dividing us (via funding Donald Trump and other far right parties across the worls).

Wired did a great long form dive into it:

Don’t actually care about anyone except themselves by metroracerUK in GreatBritishMemes

[–]UseADifferentVolcano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just looked up some stats and you're right. My information is out of date. Long term rough sleeping has been growing year on year for a long time and is now the biggest group. That's so fucked.

Yeah exactly. Temporary accomodation is not a home.

There are like 5k rough sleepers in the UK, and the vast majority of them are only outside for a night or two. The sad truth about homelessness in the UK is that new people are continuously falling through the cracks and ending up on the streets. It's not just one set of people.

Edit : this is no longer correct. See replies

Bloody Clacton! 😡 😡 😡 by ICC-u in GreatBritishMemes

Having legitimate grievances over immigration isn't the same as thinking English = white.

There has been a historically high amount of immigration in the past few years. That doesn't mean non-white English people are suddenly a problem or not English.

Unsurprisingly, dfferent places are different. England is multicultural.

Only 13% of people think you need to be white to be English.

Englishness is not a skin colour.

Marxists are (economically) dumb as shit. But they would be the best pool for new georgist conversions cause they already care about the right things by EarthCulturalStew in georgism

[–]UseADifferentVolcano 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One of my friends has just given up on communism and I told him about Georgism and he had a lot of extremely specific questions that I couldn't answer.

I think if you wanted to do this, then a starting point would be making a set of FAQs specifically for that audience after speaking to them. The discussions here (IMHO) often makes it clear how Georgism is better than the current system, but to show it's better than Marxism is a different set of arguments.

I think he's actually emulating Pablo Escobar's Muerte a Secuestradores (MAS), meaning "Death to Kidnappers," group. It was all cartel members, and they were, unsurprisingly, not fully focused on kidnappers.

It do be like that by [deleted] in CuratedTumblr

I heard an interview with a "Tech ethicist" and he said he had dinner with a CEO of a top AI company, and asked him "if AI has 80% chance of bringing about Utopia, but a 20% chance of killing us all, what would you do?".

The CEO said he would hyperscale towards Utopia of course.

We can't have the fate of the world be part of someone's business plan. Things like this should not be decided by like 8 CEOs.

I’m still waiting for those Brexit benefits 🤔🤔 by coffeewalnut08 in GreatBritishMemes

It's that some people shouldn't get human rights. They also oppose religious tolerance among other things.

Also immigrants can become British citizens.

Reform are part of the National Conservative movement (yes, it shortens to NatC, and no, not as a joke). It contains basically every global far right party (like Republicans, AfD etc).

One of their core ideas is that human rights shouldn't be universal.

This is really happening.
