- Comment on We need to start calling it Simulater Intelligence (SI): here's why: 1 day ago:
We’re past the words meaning anything at this point man you just gotta let it go. People aren’t calling it “Artificial Intelligence” they’re calling it “AI”
- Comment on Germans must be pretty happy. 4 days ago:
I think it’s partly that people think you can stop fascism with robust political structures and by cracking down hard on fascists. That approach doesn’t work, so long as the material conditions that lead to fascism exist it will come about.
- Comment on Microplastics will be the "boomers all have lead poisoning" of millennials 4 days ago:
Honestly I don’t think we’re socially responsible enough to end something like lead poisoning these days.
- Comment on just wanting to see what happens 4 days ago:
Well not really because both parties are moving in the same direction just one is a little faster/energetic than the other
- Comment on Radiation is a literal Lovecraftian Monster 6 days ago:
If you want to be semantic Lovecraftian isn’t a term that means “things from Lovecraft’s books” it’s a term referring to a style or tone.

People who say they take the black pill haven’t actually taken it yet
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 1 week ago:
We can reach higher. Join me in end game environmentalism and become a serial killer today.

Murder
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 1 week ago:
Well the actual best thing you can do is kill as many people as you can and then yourself.
- Comment on Time travel doesn't work unless you also have teleportation. If you travel to the past/future, Earth will be in a different position in its orbit, and you'll die in space. 1 week ago:
Alternatively teleportation doesn’t work unless you also have time travel
- Comment on Are our societal problems being caused because modern technology allows people to be old for longer? 1 week ago:
Eh I’m not in the US so my situation is different from yours. Modern welfare systems are more comprehensive than anything seen before in human history, I support them. I pay more for groceries than my parents did in rent when they were my age. My parents never had to pay for a university education while I have accumulated more debt than them before getting a full time job than they did until they started getting mortgages. And I am gonna have to deal with the economic slump of supporting their and my grandparents retirement. Our societies aren’t built to support aging populations. My retirement plans are death or moving to a low income country.

I’m glad you know the buzz words. Good for you. The next step is understanding how to use them :)

The implication that conservatism and right wing ideology is a young people’s game is hilarious to me.
Truly the progressive left wing socialist elderly will save us

Old senile men elected by old senile people.
- Comment on Are our societal problems being caused because modern technology allows people to be old for longer? 1 week ago:
I’m more talking about material conditions. Older people need more and produce less and if you’re a young person today you have more older people to support than ever before. On top of that a growing older population is a growing population with a vested interest in not changing society. My rhetorical question is deliberately inflammatory but I do honestly think that the average lifespan has grown faster than our society’s ability to adapt to an ageing population and young people will be the ones most impacted.

I am already the one in need of assistance. I am part of the first generation of Australians to be poorer than their parents. And the burden of the elderly is only expected to grow as I age. For most people my age their main prospects are the inheritances from their parents that is sure to come later and worth less. I think there is something to say about the expected lifespan of people growing faster than the cultural changes needed to support an on average older population.
- Comment on Are our societal problems being caused because modern technology allows people to be old for longer? 1 week ago:
I think wanting to live long and being frustrated at an ageing population are two entirely different thoughts
- Comment on Are our societal problems being caused because modern technology allows people to be old for longer? 1 week ago:
No
- Comment on Are our societal problems being caused because modern technology allows people to be old for longer? 1 week ago:
Well why are we struggling to move away from capitalism? Perhaps a disproportionately large older generation with an entrenched interest in maintaining the status quo?
While I played up the title for engagement bait I do think there is something to say about an aging population smothering its youngest simply by virtue of demanding more resources than it produces.

- Comment on Why does it feel like protesting isn't as "extreme" as it used to be? 2 weeks ago:
Right. So using your definitions of protest, riot and insurrection and using your statement that protests, riots and insurrections are mutually exclusive; How would you describe a situation where a crowd is demonstrating their objection to the government with a violent uprising?
Every use of language is contextual and by forcing yourself into an absolutist understanding you’ll lose nuance in your interpretation.
That said. Idgaf loser keep coping

- Comment on If nudity was more widely accepted, tattoos would be more popular. 2 weeks ago:
My caveat to that is that nobody pulls it off permanently

what the fuck. HOW DARE YOU. Ive been eating dogs my whole life and they are beautiful creatures and we give them a good life on our family farm. We never waste anything and even drink their blood. Implying that its wrong to eat dogs goes against human nature. We have literally been hunting and eating dogs for hundreds of thousands of years and you could seriously mess up your health by not eating them.
