And with the insane amounts of homicide in the US, this is quite telling

Governments:

If you want people to start having kids again, put wealth caps in place world wide. For as long as there are billionaires and millionaires that hoard all the wealth and power, leaving only scraps for us to survive, we won’t be having kids.

Wealth caps will redistribute the wealth back to governments, who can then use it for free healthcare, free education l, even universal basic income

Set that damned cap to 1 million dollars or something. High enough to make sure everyone can live very nicely but low enough to stop hoarding of wealth. Anything over 1 million? To taxes!

Once wealth is nicely spread around again, you’ll see, people will start having kids again because now they have a life, resources, and joy in life.

This oh this, please

I remember an experiment in the late 90s where they had “AI” from then (fuzzy logic and some other tech) design EPROM chips that had to generate a very specific frequency, or something like that.

They ended up with 20 chips, and 20 different designs. They all worked, but…

Each one was programmed in a way that worked on that chip, and that chip alone. Copy the programming from one chip to another, and it would not work

Some chips had redundant circuits that connected to nothing, just sitting there. When those circuits were removed, the chip would fail too, even though those circuits in principe didn’t seem to do anything as, again, they weren’t connected to anything

Not a single one had an actual sense making correct solution

Basically the system just kept tweaking each chip until it guy something that worked

Current LLM’s are more powerful but still operate in many similar ways. You can’t ever trust them output so you’ll have to check everything it does manually to get any remote kind of trust in the system, but how do you even go to test whatever random crap comes out on an AI chip?

Why do you hate good god-fearing hateful bigot racists?

Well…

It’s awesome but it also looks like a really really bad idea and a great way to get injured for life

Eehh, it’s ice. Good luck with suing them, pick a number. Be glad you’re alive

Linux. Hands down. Always.

New user? Try Kubuntu Linux

Power user? Eh, you can try anything but I’m still with Kubuntu because Ubuntu with KDE just works so damned nice

To the ugly people out there:

I’m using “ugly” here for clarity, but it’s important to remember that though beauty is in the eye of the beholder, there is “being ugly”, “looking ugly” and “acting ugly”

Some people are naturally beautiful, other have to work on it. Call it talent, if you will. Either way, when talent doesn’t work hard, you need to work hard yourself. Go to the gym, not to become a muscle machine, bit to be and look healthy. Surprise, looking healthy looks attractive. It’s not even immediately about losing weight, though for some that too may be very helpful.

Then, go to YouTube and find some videos on helping to appear better. Look into fashion that you like, and whatever you pick, try to do it well. Look however you want, but just try to look well. A well dressed emo looks better than a shoddy emo. Same for chads, furries, or you name it.

Then: just don’t be a dick. You can be beautiful on the outside, but if the inside is rotten, nobody will want to be with you, doh. Find people with your interests, be it sports, Warhammer, hiking, foods, politics, or playing chess, find someone that shares your ideas, interests and values.

And just be nice! That sounds easy, but it may require some work, depending how talented you are with being nice. I make a point out of it to always be a progressive gentleman. So while I’m not of the “women belong in the kitchen”, I will always open every door for my dates (well, now wife),I always volunteer to help them out with something, I never ask for anything in return. Find a good sense of humor, everybody likes to laugh.

There are no guarantees, but with 8 billion people on this world, it can’t be impossible to find somebody that wants to love you

There must be non genocidal nations out there that are willing to help a small sick child, no matter where he lives or what his nationality is?

Soon advertisers will be able to force you to watch their lies, don’t worry about that.

Soon your computer won’t be yours ever again

Soon enough, I’m sure, we’ll even have ads in space so we can’t escape any of this shit anymore

That is, unless we start getting.more hostile against advertising and marketing. We need politicians to become hostile against ads

Yeah, Japan has a beautiful culture and all but the way they handled themselves after WWII with the things they did during WWII hasn’t been very, shall we say, honorable.

Germany went full “fuck fascism with an umbrella”, sometimes to the point where they should tone it down just a liiiiitle bit, but Japan went full “we did what we had todo and we didn’t do anything bad”

Japan did horrible things, like Nazi Germany, and it’s time they stand up and admit what happened, and take some basic responsibility so that we can all move on

Pretty much every country has shitty pasts, almost every country has had war mongerers, it’s fine, just admit it, admit that some assholes that were born in your country hurt people, so that we can learn from it and continue forward

Also looking at you, Turkey, and for the next 100 years or so, you as well Israel… And while we’re at it, you too Russia. And China. And India. And USA.

macOS is an okay-ish OS as long as you don’t step out of line. Do not want freedoms. Be a good child and obey.

It sucks, but at least it works.

Microsoft Windows can’t even say that.

Fuck both osses, they both suck donkey balls, long love Linux!

In the evening, we research golden-visa options in case the government tells us those children are no longer ours.

That is such a fucked up thing to even have to consider. And why? Because you love the “wrong” person.

These people are mentally ill, don’t have another word for it. It’s literally “I hate you because you love!”

Mostly just leave it be. The smoke is on the outside and as long as it’s visually clean enough it’ll be fine.

Make sure that ventilator fans still run smoothly, and as needed, replace those, as cooling is extremely important

Deleted?

Yeah acab acab acab but can somebody please call the police on these guys?

This is about as prime an example as it gets with these “abolish the police” types. Maybe you won’t go as far as “abolish” yet but then the first A in ACAbB doesn’t make sense

Look, any civilized society NEEDS police because you’ll always hate anti social types that will ruin shit for everyone else.

The current problem with police (mostly in the USA, far FAR less in other countries) is that they barely receive training and there is very bad screening on who would be a good police officer, and not an SS brownshirt. In the US they dropped the pretence and went straight for “thug” buy y’know, you can just screen on that, educate them, and then you’ll end up with actual police officers

Also, drop the “cop” thing. Police officers aren’t supposed to be cool, they need to protect and serve, period. The “Imma good cooaaaapp” stuff annoys the fuck out of me. Of police officers really were that great, fine, but they’re the worst.

expresses a desire to kill immigrants and homosexuals

I wo der why that is. You want to murder somebody, end their life, because you disagree with how they use their peepees, or if they look slightly different from you.

I mean, it’s such a sad thing to hate people, but hate people for these bizarre reasons is just… Weird. Why do you care what I do with my dick?

And now PLEASE don’t fuck it up.

Don’t try crazy things, just be in power and slowly make small incremental improvements. Please don’t be a fraud, please don’t do something stupid.
