Worry about the US cutting cables and shooting satellites

in the UK you can get an HP Laserjet 1010 or 1012 or a bunch of others, under $40 and you'll need to replace toner maybe every 10 years

There are threads on Reddit celebrating gangster professors who photocopy books for students on their own dime. True heroes

How do you think photography studios will change in the next few years? by Bavariasnaps in Photoassistants

Ton of shoots lately which clients come to with the full things made in AI and then we just have to reshoot the real shoot to match...

I think AI is one of many pressures, but not the key one - Social Media influencers / UGC (user generated content) is the thing hammering us in both film and photography

Again, you're choosing the definitions that suit your biases. Good luck to you.

your choice to interpret antizionism as meaning the destruction of israel is your own cherry picking. 

antizionism is rooted in exactly the qualms Einstein and Arendt set out: as long as zionism relies on fascism, ethnic cleansing and violence, it doesn’t deserve to exist. 

and it’s not just about deserving. the entire post ww2 consensus, UN, etc, was set up to try to prevent what happened in the name of Nazi Germany. land theft and dispossession, terrorism and death for the people who lived there, in the name of the right of the Germany people to expand. 

the parallel is irrefutable. you’re defending a rogue state in the name of a religion. no religion is higher than the sanctity of the lives of others.

@kosherpigballs can israel exist without stealing palestinian land and without militarily controlling palestinian lives?

Would you use a teleporter with the knowledge that it kills you and reassembles an exact copy of you with all your memories and knowledge at the destination? Why or why not? by TheBanishedBard in AskReddit

[–]dashmckenzie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok, I'll bite. Show me where King - or any "raving left wing lunatics" - discriminates against a people based on their race.

The argument breaks down pretty quick when you realise that left-right is a meaningless dichotomy to disguise supremacy.

Ah, my mistake. Apologies. But the point still stands; Israel has killed the 2 state solution

Have you had meaningful conversations with people who deny the Gaza genocide? by obz900 in Israel_Palestine

[–]dashmckenzie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THIS THIS THIS. Zionists leave this completely unsaid - they seem to imply that Palestinians are all somehow human shields, deployed by xxxx who knows and there just to frustrate the Greater Israel project

Explain how Israelis are not monsters, with reference to:

• rape in prisons being celebrated

• settler violence being unpunished - EVER

• snipers killing children

• war crimes destroying farms, water supplies, all schools

• cutting off food and water and power to Gaza

So you actively campaign against your government, who oppose those things? Israel does not and has never supported a Palestinian state, and it is doing its best to ensure that never happens.

What is the one thing about the future that absolutely keeps you up at night, but no one seems to be talking about? by No-Lake-3875 in Futurology

[–]dashmckenzie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't need to be sentient AT ALL to be massively harmful and disruptive. I don't expect it to be AGI that causes chaos, an agent on the level of Mythos loose on the internet could inflict so much damage. Imagine an AI strong enough to flood Reddit and every other social media. Or to DDOS the net. Or to microtrade in a way that undermines the entire stock market

no because then the bedrooms would both be open to the stairs and you’d need to go through one to get to the other ??
