The founders were, themselves, immigrants. From multiple different countries. Of course racism existed when the founding father's were alive, we had slavery. But, from the beginning, the US has been a country founded on immigration and

I think a lot of this is revisionist. In most protests, what happens is the police get involved. The police don't know to to de-escalate anything, so surprise surprise - riot! If you go back and look at the BLM riots, the police were t

The communists were very centralized. They held world governments. Even the American communists were centralized.

Inertia. Twitter has basically no value, it's just a bad app and bad website. It was never actually "good" for information communication, but it was tolerable. When it comes down to 99% of these "why are people using suc

Barely. Setting up a repo is next to nothing, and I would hardly call what they have "applications". Omarchy is not an impressive, innovative, or exciting distro. Manjaro did what Omarchy did a decade ago, and better. Providing an

I am aware of the concept of children, thank you. Not sure why we have to argue like we have a stick up our asses, but here we are. As you're well aware, the US is just barely meeting replacement birth rate. Most developed countries ar

It depends on your digestive system and how you intake the fiber, too. There’s a very steep “learning curve” with fiber. If you intake too much too quick, you get the opposite of its benefits. Bloating, digestive distress, even pain. That’s

Yes, but as someone on a high fiber diet: much less toilet paper use. The single toilet paper swipe I employ is basically for show at this point. I still do it, of course, just in case.

by preg_match 2mo ago
If I had to guess, in order of importance: - Americans don’t use bidets, largely. Simple water use cuts down on toilet paper significantly - SAD (standard American diet) is awful for digestive quality. Little to no fiber = using the toilet

It’s a symbiotic relationship. The reason the US is so prosperous is due to immigration, mostly during the 20th century. The US cannot run off of just the existing citizens. Well, it can, for a while, but not indefinitely.

Because the social issues happen at a more biological level, hormones and cell signaling and stuff. Robots are at a much higher level. Online girlfriends are cool, but as we all know, not a replacement for physical touch, intimacy, and rela

Without a workforce there is no consumption, and therefore capitalism cannot exist. Yes, we would require a planned economy. Call it communism or whatever you like, but free market economics literally cannot exist in such an environment. Ca

It’s even deeper than this, because in some states, like Georgia, you’re “rewarded” with good time and a higher chance of parole. Good time means you get to exit the prison for things like visiting family. The prisoners are coerced to work

Well that's actually the same thing as you're proposing. And "no reasonable person is going to accept" okay... sometimes you have to accept reality. I don't know what to tell you, or venture capitalists. We don&#x27

Okay that’s very obviously not the same thing I’m proposing, and you know that. Paying for electricity is normal. But that doesn’t magically increase the capacity. It does, in time. A lot of time. Which is why we’re using diesel generator

His personality actually has everything to do with Omarchy’s popularity, because he gets funding based off of it. Omarchy is a set of dotfiles. That’s it. We all know the only reason you, and everyone else, even knows about it is because DH

Okay but reading DHHs own tweets and blog posts is not fake news. You can’t just call anything you don’t like fake news. It would be one thing if people were putting words into DHH’s mouth. They’re not.

It's very simple: just take some of the existing capital and invest it towards the grid, then build the datacenter. The problem with the grid isn't electricity stealing. It's that the grid literally cannot support the amount

The rise in meat consumption in the past year is already double the TOTAL data center consumption of water. Look at that very carefully - the few percentage points rise in meat consumption consumes more water than all data centers in the en

Right, but the utility goes in the other direction, not the one you’re maybe thinking. Meat is basically optional, you don’t need meat to be healthy or happy. There are vegetarian body builders. Meat has, probably, negative value on most

If you’re ever gonna get fired for a single comment, it would be at 2 weeks. I have seen people get fired that early on for a single poor-taste comment to the wrong person. It’s wild, but at 2 weeks you’re completely expendable.

Well, until it became clear it was literally unsustainable. Greg Abbott is as pro-business as they come, but even he cannot conjure up electricity out of thin air. It's just a question of numbers, not opinion. Texas doesn't have e

Yes, you can make mechanical handles that are flush with the car body. In which you push one end and then the other end sticks out, allowing you to open the door. The fancy electric handles are just for show. They’re cool looking and engine

Right, they’re not selling products, they’re selling a company. They don’t really care if in 10 years it all goes up in flames, ideally they’re out by then. They just want investor money because investors are stupid and will give it to them

I think people think this because many billionaires outright say it. We can’t pretend they aren’t salivating at the idea of eradicating labor when they literally talk about how excited they are to eradicate labor. Ok fine, I guess not all b

The GDP growing faster while quality of life doesn’t meaningfully improve is a bad, bad sign. It means we’re burning extra money just to stay afloat and break even. That’s worse than if the GDP didn’t grow.

Well it’s not a kink, I don’t have a 4AM morning routine or anything like that. I just think it could be helpful. I think toughing it out on your own is something society really praises, but it’s generally not a good idea. I think people vi

I believe therapy is not just for mental health issues, just like physical therapy is not just for post-surgery or what have you. Even if you have zero mental health issues, it can help cope with grief, stress, self-destructive behaviors, e
