Two words about furniture:

Killing machines

Nah, they got a point:

, but the skills, and knowledge of how to make things.

Apple spent billions training Chinese workers how to do highly skilled manufacturing work for pennies and shitty hours with huge turnover rates. Remember the days of suicide nets in factories where the workers lived?

Apple viewed them as a disposible work force, they viewed it as job training.

They wash out, then get jobs doing the same things “the Apple method” for more pay and better conditions for a Chinese company.

Still not great pay, still not great conditions, but there’s an incentive there to work for a local company instead of Apple.

Over decades this has led to today where even if we tank our manufacturing away, that just makes manufacturing Chinese competitors even cheaper.

It has nothing to do with discoveries, it’s about a trained workforce with the infrastructure in place for them to work and a supply of the rare earth materials they need.

You go see a psychiatrist, who is trained and qualified to tell you your self diagnosed condition doesn’t exist.

They can probably do it in one appointment, but they might have to keep telling you over and over again before you listen

Superman fighting the klan didn’t work because adults laughed at their hand signs and shit that were disclosed…

It’s because it got a generation of kids to see the klan as the bad guys

If Superman hated you, how the fuck were you going to indoctrinate your kid into the klan?

That’s why they’re always bitching about media. The people doing it are ignorant, but the ones telling them what to be mad about it are picking logical targets to fufil longterm goals.

It’s why fighting fascism is like losing weight, you can’t reach a goal and stop giving a fuck, it’s a lifestyle.

The way they’re up sizing there’ll be a lot of “slide” positions

Where each year you jump two levels, so 5, 7, 9 decent money

The advantage to taking the short term pay cut used to be stability, but that shits gone now

Showerexistentialdreads

which assesses modern science’s ability to detect evidence of a prior advanced civilization,

We can’t, we know we can’t.

It doesn’t even take lizard people millions of years ago.

Past 50k years is a blank spot. Anatomically modern humans have been around for at least 300k years.

They say it took the ice age ending so we could have agriculture, but that ignores we had 3-4 ice age cycles before the last one where humans were running around. Plenty of time for agriculture each cycle.

Even then, during the last ice age the Sarah desert was a lush rain forest the entire time.

The modern timeline is very Euro-centric, which is an incredibly naive view considering the glaceriers from an ice age are basically a giant bulldozer that erases everything. It plows down mountains. Obviously we won’t find any evidence there, it keeps getting erased every ice age.

And the places around the equater that would have fostered large settlements, are under the ocean due to those glaciers melting.

Just like with everything else, it’s incredibly ignorant to think we know everything and there’s no missing pieces of the puzzle

As a violent psychopath once said:

The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.

would remain in five or six million years if we all just vanish?

Literally nothing…

10-20k years left and the only thing left would be like Mount Rushmore and other giant stone monuments.

At 5-6 million years it would only be the layer of plastic in landfills from before bacteria evolved to break it down and nuclear test sites if the future society does isotope testing there. Both things that have much more logical explanations than an ancient civilization with no other evidence.

If you mean “water level” as in where for an isolated level you’re swimming, but not the entire game, super Mario Bros might be it

While 10,000 miles of river sounds like a lot…

We’ve known for a while that Mars had oceans, and even glacier ice caps.

Maybe on this one specific area there wasn’t direct evidence of water, but Mars would have had rain and thus rivers all over the globe.

So despite no direct evidence, it was a reasonable assumption to see riverways like this.

There’s usually one or two guys who are willing to play the “big scary” when necessary

It’s not even willingness…

I’m a huge dude, basically the human equivalent of a silverback.

Especially in big events like college/pro sports or music festivals, if I was with a large coed group, random dudes approached me before hitting on any of the women around.

It wasn’t like they came up thumping chests or asking permission.

They’d just test the waters with me and if I seemed cool pivot to hitting on the women. Because out of everyone in the group, if I had a problem with them, I would literally and figuratively be their biggest problem.

But size doesn’t mean shit in the modern world, so it’s super weird for big guys, especially if it starts when they’re young. Sometimes it goes to people’s heads and that’s pretty much where bullies come from. The people who tolerate that behavior and hang around reinforce it and it just feedback loops

The problem here, is AI is shit

Elon keeps trying to program it to “think” like this, but respond vaguely enough to not obviously be a Nazi

And even if the person in charge of that didn’t think literal Nazi salutes at political rallies werent over the line, AI just isn’t good enough to have a bias like that and not say the quiet part out loud.

To get the bias they need to train it on racist social media, but then they can’t stop it from sounding like racists social media.

It’s wild some places don’t have these…

I’ve lived all of the country including SC, and these were just a normal part of life. If you were close enough your home could be in danger, you could usually hear it from inside.

Cell notifications are nice. But storm alarms like this for flooding, fire, tornadoes, anything saves lives.

We can’t just rely on one method, this is a clear example where redundancy is a positive.

I’m almost positive outlook can be set up to do it on its own, I was just too lazy to Google how to set it up

It’s called a dead man’s switch and there’s not really anything complicated about it.

The thing is, it’s so so simple I doubt anyone has made a full on app to do it.

Like, the people who do that stuff aren’t the type to require an app to do everything for them.

Well, yeah…

Silverbacks used to be the go-to primate “alpha” example, but we know that “the tribe” isn’t controlled by the Silverback, and it’s not the biggest or most aggressive that “leads”.

The females select more for compassion than anything. And the only real point of the Silverback in the tribe is to scare off rogue males.

Fights rarely happen, there just has to be a silverback already with the group to stop the rogues from hassling the group.

Even if a rogue male started a fight, and beat the group’s silverback, there’s still like 20 other gorillas, it’s not like they only have conflict in 1v1 fights. They don’t “win” leadership thru fighting.

The tribe just picks their own Silverback as designated chest thumper to avoid conflict.

For at least six decades, neuroscientists have been arguing over a big, foundational question: Do adult brains make new neurons? This process of “neurogenesis” had been shown in other adult animals, but its evidence in humans was circumstantial—until now.

Bullshit…

We’ve known since the 90s because of cancer drugs.

Autopsies of people who received certain kinds of treatment showed neurogenesis because some braincells included certain isotopes that couldn’t have been present in the body before treatment.

This is the first I’ve ever heard there was a “controversy” about it.

Fo fucks sake, we’ve known multiple ways to make it happen for years.

when I learned

You didn’t learn anything…

You saw a random social media post and instantly believed what it said

What the fuck is wrong with people?

Cyberpunk had bugs, for loads of people ground reaking bugs.

But I got it on PC launch and didn’t really notice anything bad after tweaking settings.

Mindsete (from what I’ve seen) doesn’t even have good bones, everything is shit except cutscenes visuals and the content of what they’re saying sucks.

I don’t know how they could save this without turning it into a brand new game

Well, thanks for the links!
