"AI computing" lololol

All marriage is gay marriage if your happy enough.

@garyackerman You should do both. The point of a presentation is to educate, being clear in doing so is important. Being interesting is also important. You need both, a story, but also a clear summary of goals.

@walkman

Racism is certainly real and a very valid issue we need to address. That said this meme has a point and Democrats absolutely do amplify it 1000x and imagine it everywhere it is not as well.

Just a reminder, Palestinians show 81% to 87% genetic heritage with natives who lived on the land from the time Ancient Israel existed. In other words, they literally have scientific proof they are natives from the land that continued to live in the area for over 4400 years.

To quote wikipedia:

Palestinians, among other Levantine groups, were found to derive 81–87% of their ancestry from Bronze age Levantines, relating to Canaanites as well as Kura–Araxes culture impact from before 2400 BCE (4400 years before present)

Again you have it backwards, Billionairs dont result from an oligopoly, quite the opposite, they result from highly competitive markets. Though you are right an oligopoly often can form when rich people take advantage of the short comings of a society and use it to corrupt said society, just as the middle class in such a society also take advantage over the poor.

The problem is having a society with a flat that allows people with money to corrupt society, if thats the case you have an issue regardless of if billionaires exist. If you have a healthy society then you have no such issue even when billionaires do exist.

Only if there are fundemental problems inthe society to begin which is built to unfairly give advantage to the wealthy. If that exists the problem is severe at any level of wealth inequality, and in fact is **more** noticable at the divide between poor and middle class in such a scenario.

While you are right, that inequalities exist in that situation the solution isnt "dont let some people be more successful financially than others". The solution is to make sure society doesnt get built in a way that the rich have an advantage.

One simple example, if you have tickets taht are fixed rate fines (like $500), that gives the middle class power over the poor. However when the punishment isnt financial (like a week community service) then no matter how much money you have you arent at any advantage in that scenario. You dont fix the problem by preventing people from being financially successful, you fix the inequalities in society that allow the middle class to take advantage over the poor.

@chrismarkevich Wealth inequality is NOT a problem. A low quality of life for the poorest in society is. These are not the same thing. Other people having more money doesnt mean you have less, wealth is not a fixed quantity where you have to take from one for another to have, thats not how wealth works.

@AlphaKiloPapa @chris

I get that... chicken is a bit nasty to work with.

@chris I mean, there is no doubt with skin and bones you will get a juicier cut due to all the fat.. that said, not every meal needs a fatty cut. If im making, say blackened chicken the skin is a downgrade.

@dangillmor

There are certainly plenty of people who are going to be frauds and scammers and all that... But ti imply all hedge funds and private equity are all "economic looters" is just lunacy.

@splitshockvirus @theorytoe

Throw in a 1911 and some suspenders and it is a perfect likeness :)

@theorytoe

Every single in US history (8 in total 6 that actually count) where there was much of any significant movement to support a third party, they win, and the exiting primary parties in almost all cases never won another election since.

The problem is as long as people keep buying en masse the conspiracy theory its a two party system you will always have that outcome, because people are dumb enought o be manipulated by the lie en masse to begin with.

@splitshockvirus

Ha, a nice apocolypse theme to match the current ambiance I guess :)

Pretty much, they cant even vote third party they love the propaganda so much, cant expect them to do much more than this.

@customdesigned Huh? Most everyone was aware there were regular vaccine (non mRNA) and they were available since the very beginning. I avoided the mRNA myself because it was new tech, and had access to non-mRNA choices since the get go. the Johnson and Johnson vaccine was non-mRNA for example as were several others.

@customdesigned Nah thats complete BS for almost every antivaxer (though perhaps you are an exception)... When th antivaxer loons when full speed was during COVID and they were against **all** the covid-19 vacines despite the fact that several were not mRNA based, and they attacked those along side the others often citing nonsense statistics across all the vaccines.
