humans make humans, and humans speak human. Do we kill humans? The AI could also communicate just to dunk on us or attain some strategic advantage, you can’t assume any motivation really because an AGI would not have the same biological motives as an animal.

don’t insult your kidneys or your liver they got your back when no one else does

Don’t try to half cope, everyone will smell the desperation. Gotta embrace it and stay all the way bald. Other men seem to notice and care more about it than women honestly.

The change, made under emergency rulemaking in June…

really makes clear what the state’s priorities are

it’s fun to play with. my ADHD brain likes the texture

a capitalist society without growth is a failed society that will quickly be overthrown. It absolutely depends on growth, what incentive is there to invest capital otherwise?

how does any of that make them “bourgeoisie” or the “privileged elite”? Nations have different political systems, you shouldn’t expect them all to be organized like the corrupt American system unless you are an imperialist. And it’s particularly offensive to want to impose American political values on Cuba, a former American colony who righteously broke free of those chains.

Notable silence from the defenders of the “international rules based order”

my bet is they just come up with some handwaved bs excuse “they were resisting arrest and it required force to apprehend them” etc. And because nobody important in Russia is going to care that will be the end of it.

I also guarantee NATO is preparing “stay-behind” operations GLADIO style right now. gotta fight to the last Ukrainian after all.

green hydrogen plants

lmao that is never going to happen. that technology doesn’t even exist on a efficient scale yet. It’s all polluting gray hydrogen. are all Germans this gullible? at least build something that actually works like solar. Green hydrogen is a fucking scam and a handout to fossil fuel industry to do “research”

Don’t take it so personally. sure EVs have a role to play but if we’re to be serious about tackling climate change and environmental sustainability it’s going to require massive infrastructure redevelopment projects, not asking everyone to please swap to rechargeable batteries. It’s not about being “right enough” it’s about recognizing a non-solution and also on a policy level a blatant scam. All these EV subsides the liberal Biden administration is throwing out are an obvious hand out to the failing American auto industry to try to keep them competitive and desperate ploy to their quickly dwindling supporters for them to look like they’re doing anything worthwhile on climate change at all.

Having every American buy a new electric car is just going to make a few auto executives rich as hell and not even reduce overall global emissions because those cheaper ICE cars that can’t be sold in America are just going to go to other parts of the world that don’t have EV infrastructure but have plenty of already existing gas stations. And there’s all the emissions of actually building the damn things. No, they need to put their money where their mouth is and build some fucking trains.

Demetrious Polychron

holy shit what an incredible name, don’t even care what’s this about, I’m with him. President Polychron 2024.

try it bitch

I hope he still had enough marbles rolling around up there by the end to recognize that the empire he helped build on a tower of blood and skulls couldn’t even keep their hard-won hegemony together for 25 years before falling off the rails. This was supposed to be the American Century, that was what it was all for- all the wars and barbarity our young nation eagerly embraced- so we could crack open the final peoples who still resisted Liberal Capitalism. The end of history some said!

Instead we immediately fell for all the same classic blunders of other empires we supposedly learned so much from: decades long land war in Asia ending in humiliating failure, getting entangled with another fucking Zionist war in the middle east, neglecting our domestic population in favor of more imperialism so much that it creates lasting and rapidly deteriorating social and political instability. We created so much resentment there is now a worldwide, self-conscious, anti-hegemonic collation aligning against us. It’s going to be a rough, hard fall for America in the future. If he’s such a smart statesman like his friends say, than Kissinger must have realized this, though I doubt he had any regrets regardless.

I swear the only reason Americans care at all is because Bin Laden was on TV for years (either him or people talking about him) and in America, TV man = serious opinion. It’s ironic blowback from trying to portray bid laden as the “King of All Terrorism” a decade ago.

It’s hard not to see that there is money behind this," said the company’s founder and CEO, Liav Refael-Chen. “The messages are too precise and the orchestration is too well-timed for there not to be a financier behind the scenes.”

Yes, he means HAMAS is the one funding a worldwide propaganda push, and not the Zionist entity who was literally paying people to show up at protests last week and pours millions into influencing and corrupting media and public institutions in the West. The idea that people would just naturally be against genocide is inconceivable to them.

I disagree. The UN predicts the number of light duty vehicles to more than double by 2050, with 90% of that growth happening in non-OECD countries. Granted that would be a mix of new and used cars, but the vehicle trade is only regulated on the national level. That means there are considerable financial incentives to export abroad and take advantage of regulatory inconsistency.

For example, stricter emissions laws means that many cars may not be able to be driven at all in a country, but those laws do not exist elsewhere- that will cause an oversupply of cars that can’t be legally sold domestically, but demand for cars is only grow in the global south as their economies and standards of living improve. Logistic and shipping costs also get cheaper every year and shouldn’t be relied on as a economic deterrent, and it’s apparently already cheap enough for the US, Japan, and EU to export 14 million used vehicles between 2015-2018. Rich counties and their populations tend to replace their cars far before their economic life is over as well, and vehicle values depreciate far quicker in the OECD compared to elsewhere. There’s going to be a lot of economic pressure to export more cars in the near future, especially if the OCED countries try to get “serious” about ICE vehicles without including the rest of the world in a global agreement.

also, if the West did adopt EVs en mass (hard to even imagine), all those ICE vehicles aren’t just disappearing. They’re getting exported to the rest of the world as cheap used cars. Nothing has been “replaced”, you’ve just made more cars and more pollution.
