It’s part of why I’m now only looking at socials for like 30m a day- and usually only lemmy and YT at that. I have enough problems to worry about over here, I don’t need to know about all these other problems that I couldn’t even fix if I tried

One of the coolest games of that era for sure, had such an otherworldly vibe

I still miss my first playthrough of oblivion. We should be able to combine the games if they can build a data center the size of Manhattan

While this is a solid ruling and establishes great precedent, it’s in Germany and so likely will only eventually apply to the EU. It would be cool to see a similar decision from a US court.

Lol!! I can only imagine you work for Big Wasp ;P

That’s the essential thing that is so dangerous about democracy to the elites/ruling classes. It’s why there has been such a strong push for fascism/authoritarianism in the recent decade. The ting is- if we don’t like our laws we can change them. We can remake fucking society- it’s all just made by people

Here’s a detailed breakdown of the causes leading up to and continuing ramifications of the Opium wars , part ONE MOTHERFUCKER YES THERE ARE 8 PARTS

All this money from where? Lol like aren’t these companies desperate to turn a profit? Are the investors cool with these companies just burning investor money for political spending? Or is that the point of AI, just a new excuse yo dump money into the austerity narrative

I think the point is that we already live in a post-scarcity world, or rather in a manufactured-scarcity world

except that not all “capita” have same emissions. someone in Eritrea has a much smaller “carbon footprint” (a term invented by BP to distract from their own wanton disregard for the environment) than a billionaire in the western world

the franchisee bringing the suit operates ONE HUNDRED ELEVEN pizza huts, i don’t give a shit what happens to them

Removing ‘inclusion’ smells like a pivot to the right, same way DEI is a target for maga

FYI current ambassador to Greece is Kimberly Guilfoyle yuck

The state of Georgia is very business friendly

Yeh this is not doxxing if they are literally attempting to shape national policy. If you want to be left alone you should leave the fucking laws alone

Fuckin lol

reminds me of this copypasta

As someone who works on a big robotic mingun for the Navy you would not BELIEVE how close to home the Adeptus Mechanicus hits for me. For starters we have written procures that need to be followed to the letter like a ritual and deviating from it at all, especially during a spot check can get you in serious trouble… Technicians are also really goddamned superstitious and for good reason. If you accidentally cut yourself on the equipment, it will start to work as if it’s accepted your blood sacrifice. The mounts also all have names and their own personalities. If you do anything that displeases the machine spirit’s they will not work. My favorite story I was told by one of my instructors in school was the time a bunch of Aegis techs sacrificed a live chicken to their their radar and sealed its bones inside a metal box and attached it to the radar console, after which it started working flawlessly. That is until the CO came by and saw this box stuck to it and ordered it be taken down. THE MOMENT it was taken down, the radar cut off and REFUSED to work. After countless man hours of troubleshooting this thing and finding nothing wrong, they have to fly a tech rep out to figure out what the hells the matter with this thing. They tell him what happened and his response? He puts the box back on the console becuase he knows what sort of black magic runs this equipment and lo and behold it starts working again. Whoever originally made the Machine Cult got it spot on what kind of culture a bunch of technicians would develop if left on their own for a millenia
