  I feel sorry for folks as they get younger. My wife brings things and the first thing I say is how much sense does it make? A lot of that comes from decades of experience before fakes were so easy though. If things can be warped so much combined with folks not actually hanging out together. Its going to be harder to be like. MMMM. that makes no sense. Its like they had this thing with immigrant snap recipients having carts of groceries worth 6000 dollars. Im like. ok. so we know how much snap gives. This would require at a minimum two massively large families (using wic too) collaboratively blowing the whole month in one spree for some reason. Alternatively it could be something like a dozen individuals doing the same.

  Although anyone on greencards or other less than citizen residents will get a free ride someplace. Oh heck throw some citizens in to. Its all good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Students on strike against military service: “You’re not a coward if you don’t want to die for Germany!”⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they are worried its not compulsory for now but could be later. To be fair I would be more willing to die for germany right now than the us.

  so fucked. all the projection to from trump about traitors and treason with republican congress and scotus being complicit and negligent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Crunchyroll is Officially Ending Its Free Ad-Supported Streaming Service on December 31, 2025⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah its like they have had these things like mmo holiday special events with free access but they don’t allow people to search for free ad based anime so most times its pointless to even look around if anything is available. It sorta got better last year but never as good as it was with funimation which at least had a more predictable thing. Even that was not great though. Amazon actually has been upping its anime offerings and it appears to be something its going to continue to be expanding.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I do a regular protest against our law breaking facist administration over an expressway in the us and every so often we get a negative response or positive shout out for trump. Its rare. I call them the one percent given how unoften they are as opposed to people giving us thumbs up and peace signs and other encouraging things. Anyway every time appears to be a lone male in a truck or suv. Only time I ever saw a woman counter protestor was a family that was pretty batshit. Felt pretty sorry for the kid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK jury trials for crimes with sentences under 3 years to be dropped⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  and even reasonable laws once jury is out you are now dependent on a sole judge being fair. I mean look at some of the recent supreme court rulings in the us and that is a group of judges. When it comes to judicial decisions the law is more like suggestions.

  wow. this is a tough one to comment on as its not really a good/bad but more its complicated thing.

  I agree here and this goes back before ai. Any automated thing is fine with humans in the loop but once you take them out is when the trouble starts.

  While not quite as long a thing I have had the ai do this. Maybe you are misremembering and its just that it could not find it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think of it more as a third given just under 50% seem to respond sensibly. That is assuming some just did not want to respond or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New tech pulls lithium from dead batteries cheaper than you can buy it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  illini pride:

  Enter the new technique from scientists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. There, a team led by chemical and biomolecular engineering professor Xiao Su, has been spending time disassembling batteries and then submerging them in an organic solvent. This leads to a brine that contains lithium as well as other metals present in the batteries.

  To harvest the lithium, the team developed a special electrode created from a copolymer consisting of molecules that attach to lithium and those that respond to an electrical current. When placed inside the brine and electrified, it sucked only lithium from the solution like a sponge, leaving other metals behind.

  nah. you just hold the highest non ai employee on the ladder accountable. If anything it would have real savings as the highest levels have the most expensive malfeasance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chemistry lab safety: gloves or no gloves⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I never thought of it. My bachelors is in microbiology and I worked a bit in blood diagnostics and the gloves are also to keep from contaminating things so you definitely use them with that.

  yeah im just not sure how long the dewers will last if not topped up. Like long enough to be considered something like this and they top them up and display in future museusm. lol. they thought they could be resucitated. stupid twentieth centuriers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In a society that frowns upon using identity as a utility, why doesn't it ring any alarm bells when people say they're consequentialists and excuse things with that?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the problem with the ends justify the means is it comes off as absolute. Maybe sometimes the ends justify the means sometimes or even oftentimes it does not. ends and means can vary in morality greatly. the means could be a small lie or a planned murder and the ends could be a stubbed toe or the total annihilation of the universe.

  I sorta wonder if cyrogenic corpses will end up something like this.

  Its amazing that trump may become the greenest president just by completely crashing the economy. As we have seen that will greatly reduce border crossings as well. No one will want to spend to drill in the areas he opened when no one can pay for as much as it costs to get out.

  Yeah this is my experience as well. Also were im from people can have all sorts of things on shirts and maybe a restaurant may not let you dine if they find it offensive but the police can’t just arrest you for your shirt.
