The observable universe is also way denser than a black hole of equivelent radius (black holes get lower in density the bigger they get) so one way or another we are in a black hole in the sense that somewhere out there is an event horizon through which you can never leave, just not in the traditional understanding which only really applies to ‘small’ (every single other) black holes.

Its weirder than that, had someone on lemmy try to convince me that deportations, purity tests and fascism are all far left policies. Its like they’re trying to shift all their own shit onto some imaginary other.

Doesn’t the UK also have one of the highest living costs in Europe as well as some of the lowest wages? I mean the starting salary for teachers here is half of what even america pays.

But tankies almost universally want authoritarianism and dictatorships? those are far right positions. The left tends to want some flavour of socialist democracy. Tankies are left like China is communist.

Tankies have almost nothing in common with the far left outisde teenagers who haven’t worked out the fundemental flaws with communism yet. Beyond those teenagers most left wing folk consider tankies to be pretty right wing.

You’re making it sound way harder than it is, The US has like 4? substations that if they all went down at once it would cascade fail about 90% of the grid, they aren’t in bunkers or surrounded by armed guards or anything, they’re random ass substations with chain link fences around them.

It’s weird because steam isn’t even that amazing at what it does and even some of the features I like can be tempremental or downright buggy at times.

I hate how we let them re-name it distruption, we should go back calling it what it is. Using their vast wealth to comit blatant market manipulation using anti-competative practices.

Aaaand the winner of the election is the guy who was rich enough to afford the most AI to vote for him with 99.9999% of the 15 trillion votes cast.

I find the grey goo discussion in the comments funny, fortunately you can’t actually break molecular bonds that quickly without releasing an enormous quantity of heat.

Oh we know the edit part, the problem is all the people in power trying to use it to replace jobs wholesale with no oversight or understanding that need a human to curate the output.

Nah patriotism is fine, its the ‘I want to make my country better’ attitude, nationalism is the ‘my country is already the best’ one.

TLDR?, The US is bankrupt or nearly bankrupt and Trump is trying to convince the rest of the world to foot the bill?

English and Japanese (I don’t speak much Japanese at all but I know these specific word!)

And now globalism is generally more good than bad, isolationism isn’t going to fix anything. Seems perfectly rational for left wing people to change their view when circumstances change.

Ikr, bidet yes, I don’t have one but I have used one and its better. Soap though sounds like a way to have a really dry butt.

I see you there planning using that trash money to fund a weed growing operation! Before we know it people will be turning into glowing cyclops! cyclopi? cyclopses? (Seriously on that last part whats the plural?)

Gives you absurd password requirements
Immedately leaks all your personal data by storing in planetext with no real security

Robots kind of suck compared to humans in terms of energy efficiency, sure a factory robot arm can crush you but if it had to run on the electricity equivelent of a bowl of bran flakes you could overpower it with one hand and not much effort. (barring an insane gear ratio which would make the thing incredibly slow)

Richer countries tend to have really shitty work life balances though, You need both money to raise a kid and time to do it as well, if both parents are working full time and barely making rent then of course they aren’t going to have kids. Japan and South Korea are perfect examples of this.
