You definitely sound like your advocating for musk.
You should work on your reading comprehension then
- Comment on Tesla's European car sales nosedive for fifth month as customers switch to Chinese EVs 2 hours ago:
buy the car that isnt overtly a fascist car.
that isn’t really an argument in favor of china 😂
- Comment on Tesla's European car sales nosedive for fifth month as customers switch to Chinese EVs 2 hours ago:
They make decent “point A to point B” cars
which is, coincidentally, what most people need from a car ;)
- Comment on Tesla's European car sales nosedive for fifth month as customers switch to Chinese EVs 2 hours ago:
i am afraid it is just that most CEOs are sane enough to keep their embarrassing moments for their private life. do you think musk is the only narcissistic psychopath on drugs in the business word?
this is not advocating for musk, but it is important to be grounded in reality ;)

i hate musk, but i am not wild about our dependence on china either, so i am not really sure who to root for in this fight…
- Comment on Iran’s internet blackout left people in the dark. How does a country shut down the internet? 4 hours ago:
Not our.
i talk, and you talk. it is our discussion.
It’s a discussion you are trying to have
i am not trying to have, i am having it. here you are, replying to me. why are you trying so hard to prove that a discussion is not a discussion? it does not make sense.
I labeled as a layman’s guess.
yeah. and since i am more knowledgeable than you in this particular regard, i contributed some information you might not have had. now you do and your future layman’s guess can be more educated. that is how the discussion works. and for some strange reason, you seem to be pissed about it.
- Comment on Iran’s internet blackout left people in the dark. How does a country shut down the internet? 16 hours ago:
indeed it is. it is irrelevant to our discussion though. it is not a “cell tower” and it needs rather expensive end user hardware. limit of proliferation of such hardware among population during some kind of government internet shutdown will be approaching to zero.
- Comment on Iran’s internet blackout left people in the dark. How does a country shut down the internet? 1 day ago:
oh, then i did misunderstood, but i still don’t see what you are suggesting. maybe if you get assigned address you can have some limited p2p communication with nearby people, but if that is the case, a guy with a megapfone does similar job.
- Comment on Iran’s internet blackout left people in the dark. How does a country shut down the internet? 1 day ago:
cell towers do not really factor into this. they will just shut down local peering center and transit for major providers and they are done. far less moving elements to take care off than cell towers, which would not even address the whole problem (“problem” from the government’s point of view)
- Comment on Uber’s algorithmic pricing leaves drivers and passengers worse off 1 day ago:
has found that Uber’s use of dynamic pricing has led to higher fares for passengers and lower earnings for drivers, whilst increasing Uber’s share of revenue
so, working as intended…

Then the student could just ask the AI to simulate a thesis defense and learn answers to the most likely questions.
while my opinion of economy as a field is not very high, i still have high enough opinion of any teacher to believe they do outperform shitty ai…

more like “how bad is the education”?
- Comment on Welcome to Campus. Here’s Your ChatGPT. 2 weeks ago:
well, not sure if it works the same everywhere in the world, but here, you first write the graduation thesis and then you have to publicly defend it.
if the defense committee (or is it an attack committee, since it is the student who is on defense? :D) can’t ask questions in a way to find out whether the student actually wrote the paper and understands the topic, then what fucking pseudo-scientific field is that? (and the answer indeed is - it is economics 😂)
- Comment on Welcome to Campus. Here’s Your ChatGPT. 2 weeks ago:
no, it means they will try to somehow apply the knowledge they acquired to real life problem. creating a project, instead of writing a text.
- Comment on Welcome to Campus. Here’s Your ChatGPT. 2 weeks ago:
it is not just US… the VSE - Prague’s university of economics and business has decided to abandon graduation theses, because it is supposedly “impossible to verify” whether they were written by student or AI, and replaced them with “hands-on” graduation project)

lemm.ee is one of the biggest instances. yes, there are communities and all of them will be lost.
is this trolling, or are you serious?
- Comment on why does alcohol stop my back pain but medicine doesn't? 3 weeks ago:
Well, I mean at least the head fog and sleepiness from weed also comes with actual pain relief. 🤷🏻♂️
ok, i am glad it works for you.
But also, it really depends on the weed.
well, for me all the “positive effects” disappeared over time and i was just left with those meh ones, which is why i ultimately stopped. but it may not be the experience of every person in the world, so…
- Comment on why does alcohol stop my back pain but medicine doesn't? 3 weeks ago:
whereas medically prescribed painkillers (…) just give me a head fog and make me sleepy
which is in start contrast to marijuana 😂

- Comment on Lemm.ee is recruiting new admins! 4 months ago:
It only takes a few bad actors
No, it does not. That is the whole point of the decentralized system - the few bad actors can only have power over their specific instance and you can leave it anytime you want.
So the sentiment actually does not stay ;)
- Comment on Why do airplanes have big front "headlights"? 5 months ago:
Also if it’s a commercial plane as it sounds like it is traffic control and transponders kind of do that.
airplanes are routinely told to watch for a traffic in their vicinity. also, aviation is all about procedures and backups, so if someone makes a mistake, it is good if there is another link in the chain to prevent accident.
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 6 months ago:
Not even sure if that’s the perpetrator.
they already know quite a lot, i find it highly unlikely they just released a photo of some random person in same clothes with same bag who just accidentally appeared in multiple places in close vicinity to the crime scene.
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 6 months ago:
the all country’s law enforcement was partially hyperbole, partially not. it already got a lot more manpower than average murder, the system has to protect itself here, because if this goes unpunished, other rich people might be next, and rich people are those who control the system. that is not a conspiracy, that is the way of life, as they say.
now this guy is clearly not a professional, so who is he? he is either someone with personal motive or someone really dedicated to making a social commentary.
if it is the former and he is someone whose close person died because of being denied coverage or something like that, that is a) the way to find him and b) it probably means he doesn’t have funds to go hide in his den indefinitely, because he would use such funds towards treatment of the person he is avenging.
if it is the latter, than who knows, but i personally think it is someone described in the last paragraph.
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 6 months ago:
I just hope he doesn’t get caught.
he will get caught. they already have his photo, he is not professional hitman, he can only evade for so long when there is the whole country’s law enforcement after him.
