Billionaires have such a heavy say in our government that it will never go that way unless it’s forced.

Except for wages.

A bigger issue is how people maintain their yards. Lawns are the ecological equivalent of a parking lot. Lawns are terrible for the local species, as are all of the non-native species used in modern landscaping. Once you learn what is actually native and what is not, you’ll be completely shocked at how few native species we cultivate.

Another really huge issue is everyone religiously scrubbing their yard of fallen leaves. Leaves need to stay on the ground. They are essentially compost for trees, and tons and tons of bugs lay eggs in fallen leaves, including fireflies.

I quit mowing my lawn and let some native plants grow up in place of grass and stopped eradicating the fallen leaves, and that summer my yard was absolutely lit the fuck up with fireflies.

All of this is currently reversible. We just have to stop buying into stupid capitalist yard maintenance traditions and start working with the native species. It’s honestly much less work than trying to make all of these Chinese species that are in everyone’s yards work.

Urges de-escalation and then gives them literally $8,000,000,000 to continue the genocide.

Noooo that shrimp was my pet!!

I agree, but at some point we’re just feeding into the concept that any exposure is good exposure.

I wish that this guy would just disappear.

This does not deserve a headline. We need to stop paying attention to this tool.

It’s a low bar. If we’re now judging candidates in comparison to Trump then we’re in trouble.

Trump isn’t the standard. He’s an anomaly, and we should aim way higher.

I would willingly sit next to Alex Jones. That guy is hilarious.

I legit think he’s super entertaining, just as long as you understand that everything he says is a lie.

I’ve finally started seeing some in my city over the last week or so. They are just so goddamn big and awkward looking. They really look like someone put dumpster on wheels. I honestly find them pretty jarring to see out on the road.

Lol I don’t even think they’re being a troll. I think they think they’ll gain something from licking billionaire ass.

I mean this is actually an ethical argument to be pro piracy.

Trying to use the terms of service for a streaming service in order to sweep a death under the rug is completely insane and no one should give money to company like that.

Nah. A key difference between left and right is that the left doesn’t worship their political candidates like the right does. That shit is weird.

I like the guy and everything, but can we cool it with the dad stuff? It’s kind of weird. He’s a politician.

Guess what? If you see someone abusing people with their power and you say nothing about it, then you’re not a good person. Neutral at best.

We’ve seen this time and time again. Banning things outright just doesn’t work. Regulation works.

Also, almost every profession athlete uses steroids in some way or another.

They are all completely half-baked products being rolled out before they’re ready because none of these billion dollar tech companies will allow a product to not immediately generate revenue.

I’m really enjoying seeing the backlash of everyone unanimously being sick of having this unfinished tech shoved down our throats.

So far that’s been the best use of AI for me too. I’ve also used it to help flesh out character backgrounds, and then I just go through and edit it.

Am I the only one that sees all of these AI platforms as just the next iteration of search engines?

God I hope that all of these bullshit AI platforms tank these giant awful tech companies.
