You will be ASSimulated?

The “free speech absolutist” at it again!

I will have to downvote because of the misinformation on the eye of the needle claim. That is almost certainly false - there really isn’t any evidence of this and the theory seems to come from the middle ages.

Similarly, camel probably means camel, not cable (as a popular theory suggests).

Here is a video that discusses the theories.

Please edit to qualify the claim about the eye of the needle.

Yes, because the study design does not prove causation.

Yeah, this is something many climate advocates say - that it is better to keep the car you have - but I don’t think this is backed up by data at all. It’s very clear that that EVs are able to save more carbon emissions than in a fairly short period than you would save by not continuing to drive an ICE vehicle, with manufacturing included.

If we were going to have a simple rule, replacing all ICE vehicles today with EVs will be far better for the climate than keeping them.

Money. Donate. There isn’t a near term world where money won’t matter in giving you a voice, so you should use it.

I think you just redefined a marriage. The function of marriage legally is all those “legal affairs”.

Limited visibility, limited comprehension, limited attention, and limited risk aversion.

My guess is that the vending machine is not owned by whoever put this up and the operator indicated they will be by to empty it.

… Sodium Ion are already being sold in EVs.

No, most of us are broke because we insist on ensuring that suburban mcmansions are the only places to really live. When you spend 30% on driving and 40% on housing, suddenly you are broke.

This thread demonstrates the idealogical purism and lack of pragmatic political expectations from leftists and progressives. There is literally nothing the Biden admin can do that will ever be enough because it doesn’t match some rosy fucking dreamland that only lives in your heads. Descheduling is huge, and signals the end of 100 years of madness with cannabis laws. If you want more, then we need to have more legislative power to implement it.

This is a fucking win, dumbasses.

“hacker”

I mean, you can say the same about every form of entertainment. Music? Majority is crap. Movies? Crap. Sports? Crap. Books? Crap. Video games? Crap.

That’s not close to average life expectancy in the US.

IMO guaranteed child welfare (including universal lunch) is 100% consistent with any major political idealogy that is internally consistent.

Libertarianism? The whole basis is the personal choice, autonomy, and the ethics of consent. Children fundamentally cannot consent. They still, however, individual agents. They simply are in a state where social order defines their outcome. As society, we must then take this to maximize their outcomes and ultimately their personal liberty - when they reach an age where they can operate with it.

Therefore, we have to choose between depriving others of a relatively small resource, or depriving children of a major resource: the nature of their ability to participate with full autonomy and personal liberty.

The choice, in my opinion, is very clear.

Also that the average house was like 1/3 the size of new homes today and a large portion of families had one car or fewer.

You have to leave incentives for people who are the ones who are going to create the jobs for all those people trying to climb the ladder.

Oh my god, FUCK OFF

It still doesn’t really make much sense in a world where the vast majority of things are replicated. The only things that would give them worth are things that cannot be replicated:

• Specific real estate
• Experiences
• Favors?

This was literally the first thing I said about the “unbreakable windows” for the cyber truck. That is NOT a good thing in an emergency. This is just one example.
