I understand that you believe what you’re saying but I don’t think you’re factually correct. You’re parroting the propaganda of a censorship and tracking regime that has no sincere desire to help children in any way.
The good news is that this is already teaching a whole new generation of UK citizens the value of VPNs and encrypted paths out of the ever-tightening information noose the UK has been trying to create for the last 41 years.
Wow that’s a lot of pointless words. They were told to implement an internet user tracking system or be fined, but since they have no desire or obligation to do so they chose to cease operating under those rules. This has nothing to do with children and everything to do with tracking adults, there’s your ‘simply’. Trying to spin this as ‘protect the children’ is completely worthless word garbage.
You’re not in UK. UK banned imgur because the crown is trying to build a database of internet users to oppress and imgur said no.
If you’re going to talk about the Slate just mention it by name https://www.slate.auto/en
It’s a bet, the current owners have wagered that the structure will exist long enough for someone else purchase it later at a higher price, under the auspice that they in turn will be able to pass this bag forward again later. Everyone actually involved knows there’s no value to it OTHER then the record of previous sale prices and the line that keeps going up.
if there’s a consistent track record of being able to sell an nft for more than one paid for it, people are more likely to buy it just so they can sell it later for more than it was purchased for. It’s not that much different than any other kind of authenticated memorabilia; you’re not paying for the memorabilia, you’re paying to track the authentication in a repeatable consistent way.
You know the banana with tape over it art piece, right? There is nothing special about the tape or the banana at all, the special part is the authenticated set of instructions that allow the ‘owner’ of the certificate to present the work according to specifications, and since the maintainer of the records proving authenticity will only recognize one person at a time that set of instructions becomes non-fungible.
And yet it not very long ago it was feasible for a single income earner on minimum wage to not only be able to afford a home, but do so while supporting a family.
Could they be anything other than a white male? Was that by any chance directly after a major war that significantly reduced the male population? Were the houses often extremely low quality and built without any modern safety codes? Historical context matters, if you weren’t in the privileged group this scenario was just as much of a fantasy then as it is today.
You could manage it with some kind of benevolent Home Owners Association! That always works fantastically!
The end? Is he dead now? Was this some kind of death-bed confession or something? Did he at least donate his time to the cause that he got paid so much to tear down?
Oh, no, he’s just getting paid by someone new now. He doesn’t need credit, he cashed in just fine on MAGA and now he’d also like a check from the gays. The correct message is ‘Working for the nazis leaves a stain on your reputation that a compensated non-apology will not wash away’
Are you by any chance a battered spouse, eager to accept any insincerity?
I think this will come down to us defining ‘intelligence’ in fundamentally different ways, so arguing over that term won’t get us anywhere. Smart isn’t a monolith, in that someone who is ‘intelligent’ will automatically make intelligent choices in all aspects of their life, instead intelligence tends to be siloed into particular areas. Sometimes intelligence just lets one rationalize themselves into incredibly self destructive positions. Those are the one I would consider ‘dumb’ in this scenario, not through lack of raw intelligence but in the embrace of stupid behaviors such as, as we say, staying inside the burning house while rationalizing that the fire might go out before it gets to them and burns them up.
Critically those self deluding people will argue themselves into behaviors that closely mimic those who simply cannot comprehend the situation at all, and as such their kindness and intelligence becomes a distinction without a difference.
I think in the long term AI is going to save the planet via mechanisms exactly like this; reducing the population level to something the planet can support not by culling existing humans but by preventing new humans from being born in the first place! This is the most gentle of all apocalypse, the one where humanity just packs it in and stops messing with the planet.
I think if you set a house on fire the people who run out could be considered smart while the people who stay inside hoping the fire doesn’t notice them could be considered dumb.
It makes more sense if you accept that one of the fundamental goals of the war is to reduce specific demographics of the Russian population. If the smart ones flee and the dumb ones are conscripted and marched into the ocean you’re left with a docile middle of the road cattle population with no will to struggle against the elite.
I’m just happy that the cancer is obvious and can be isolated, this is something that simply cannot be done on non-federated platforms where the head is already rotting.
It doesn’t really though, rubbing one is the equivalent of a really weak Pho; no matter how good it was in the moment you’ll be starving by dinner, like eat-your-napkin starving to death.
amen to that, I’ve noticed that 90% of the trash takes come from one of those two
Turns out it’s even less absurd than I originally thought! https://github.com/ryanrudolfoba/SteamOS-Waydroid-Installer Waydroid can be installed on the deck, and from there I can do what I want with decent hardware.
Jesus was an excellent dude with an excellent idea; if you’re going to be aware forever then the time you spend here on earth is going to be a microscopic fraction of the time that the you that is you exists. Deciding that you’re above others because of money or race becomes a permanent soul injury after passing on and discovering that souls come in one single value, color and race; they end up in a self selected hell of forever trying to push another person into a burning building while someone else pushes them from behind all struggling to be the one being burnt the least when all they have to do is walk away.
For example; camel in the eye of the needle parable guy would have difficulty in passing on to the next world not because he was rich, but because being rich defined who he was as a person. He wasn’t a person who wanted to go to heaven and oh yeah also rich, he was a RICH GUY who wanted to make sure BEING SO RICH wouldn’t be a big problem in heaven. Pushing a mind like that into a world without wealth or power strips it of the core of its identity and makes for a hollow shell of a person. The parable attempted to explain that the person who needed to be above others as a core component of their identity would be endlessly miserable when put in a situation where they could never be placed above others again.
The majority of the rest of the book is nonsense, mental illness, and completely insane hallucinations. Better to read something like the Jefferson Bible which is more ‘Oops, all Jesus!’.
My favorite parable isn’t even in the bible; In hell the spoons are all too long and nobody can eat because they cannot bring the scoop to their mouths. In heaven the they use the same spoons to feed one another; it’s all the same for everyone and how your personality interprets it decides if it’s paradise or eternal torture. Most ‘Christians’ will reject a communal afterlife if it involves actually loving their enemies, since it’s not just a rule that can be skated around but a mandatory ingredient in an inflexible recipe for a cake that you make for yourself.
