I'm sorry but this is straight up a non serious reply. If you want to be in STEM you need to pass calculus, then the specific majors have their own "weed out" courses which is good. There should be some base level of competen

I really don't know what you are saying then because US labor movements did not distribute just pamphlets, there were truly alternative media sources out there. You're forgetting that there was a real communist, socialist, and ana

No it's more like demanding crumple zones, seat belts, and third brake lights. Just because you have zero standards or ethics does not make this acceptable at all. This was a purely created system that was purposely designed exactly fo

Worker newspapers in the US had circulations as high as 10s of thousands to almost a million during the height of national strikes during the new deal (nearly several every month). The point is you are letting a system designed by elites to

I always hated the term "democratization" because last I checked there was never any consensus on what should be done, always MBA pricks shoving whatever they wanted down our throats.

This feels like a stupid heuristic to use if applied to biological forces.

They can design a system that doesn't enable these behaviors. Good grief these excuses are pathetic. This is a purposely made system with specific outcomes, these are the outcomes. Saying there is nothing we can do is pathetic behavior

Then you should design systems to ensure this type of user error doesn't happen. I'm sorry but this is software and all these excuses are straight up pathetic. If you don't know how to design a system to prevent this, DON&#x2

No this is bad logic. Flock is absolutely responsible and they should not be releasing or selling products that are this poorly made. Saying that the responsibility is only on the user is extremely myopic. It's also dismissing the role

The US hasn't failed anything, you're acting like politicians neglected to acted when they're doing exactly what telecom companies want: ensure they have no accountability. Please don't forget neoliberalism is the actual

This discounting how many of the 100s of worker owned newspapers/magazines that were in circulation. Not everything was controlled by a select few. How did you think labor movements in America during the 1800s collectively organized ac

Sounds like a good way to cede the argument to the opposition and let those that do believe them make up the rules.

It's not majority opinion to be against data centers? One of the largest bipartisan issues of our time, something like 70% of the US population being against it in some capacity (likely even higher)? https://news.gallup.com&

You google random people you see on the street? That is creepy. I don't think this is something that should be automated, like what the topic of this submissions is about: pervert glasses.

You don't need a phone either and sorry but the idea of someone using a device to learn things about me that I did not share with them is frankly disgusting and dehumanizing. You can simply talk to people, we don't have to enable

Char food? I do that several times a week. You realize things get hot and you can cook right? Gas stove tops aren't the only thing capable of generating heat. Induction is simply better. Way safer too.

When first put to a vote, every single constitution delegate all originally voted against the bill of rights and John Adams didn't want to include a bill of rights at all (nor did he want to write one, Patrick Henry scared the hell out

Thank you for LLMese, that's gold.

Can literally do all these (except nabe, don't understand what's happening there) with a basic cast iron pan + induction stove top. They may be different cooking tools but if one is ruining the quality of your life + possibly chil

I'm a male and was miserable + depressed for quite a while. I decided to seek therapy and experiences I wanted to, well, experience. It has nothing to do with males "not opening up," I talk to a lot of men and no one has issu

There is always an excuse to not to do something and you seem very determined to be alone and miserable, so have at it.

Unless you live in a self isolated monastery you have neighbors and the only person stopping you from making friends is yourself.

Community college programs are extremely cheap, and state schools are a thing. It's also not unheard of for any state workers to get lower tuition costs as a benefit. You're 40+, you have like potentially another 40+ years to live

What does winning even mean for the USA here? I'm not going to benefit if OpenAI or Anthropic become trillion dollar companies, and I sure as fuck won't benefit when more myopic business leaders become billionaires that have some

eh, it sounds like you don't really have a community you can socialize with. You just had a digital community. Digital communities are easy to come by but they lack the nutrition your soul aches for. Cutting off corporate media is good

That's true but it also seems to downplay how much elites + corporations have control over our society and somehow when people want to build a better world, you have to first explain the problems of the current world.

They have the backing of a trillion dollar corporation and can literally hire some of the best talent on the planet. People nor budgets are an issue here. Why do we keep giving excuses to poor engineering disciplines + poor management? This

Probably goes back to the Roman idea of ownership + dominion; you're legally allowed to neglect your property. Compare this with some American tribes, during the same time period, where property ownership was shared and based on who we

No, society is allowed to decide what is acceptable and what isn't. Acting like trillion dollar corporations do not have a massive influence on American society is borderline mush for brains here. You basically don't want to punis

They don't hire well at all. You look at who is on their research team and it's people with social science PHDs, not computer science. Looking at the state of the site it's not a surprise. Highly incompetent people have taken
