I’m going to vote ranked choice, because first past the post is antidemocratic!

4, 1, 2, 3

To be fair the blonde bombshell in a catsuit was initially nonbinary.

And then Janeway immediately gave it conversion therapy and told it to be a woman.

And they ALL suck!

Polearms win 90% of the time

Well the last one was One so this one must be Two

Yeah that’s the way it was before their job was automated. But now you don’t need them to work.

Carbon somebody else’s problem

Hey look a guide on how to look like a cishet white man

Just because you don’t remember being told common sense facts, doesn’t mean you weren’t. It probably happened at some random time without you making much of it, you just incorporated it seamlessly into your worldview. Now you look down on others for needing the same support you did when you were a child.

I’m a soulist. Soulists are always saying things like that. It’s the best version of leftism.

These pods are only used on rails with very low ridership. They would switch to a train if ridership increased.

Look at it this way: you can have a train that has a capacity of 100 people, but it only runs once a day due to the low demand, and only 2 people want to ride it at that time of day…Or you can have 10 pods, which do not require as much railway maintenance, and they can carry the 10 people who actually want to use this railway, completely on demand.

Yeah, a train is better if you want to move ten thousand people a day at peak hour. But this is a cheaper way to move ten people at different times across a day. And it’s a cheaper way of inducing the demand that would justify the more efficient kind of expansion.

Proud luddite here. The original luddites destroyed machinery owned by capitalists which threatened their jobs. The choice was either destroy the machines, or stand by and become unable to feed your family while a rich man gets richer.

I have no opposition to technology which is used for good, and whose control is placed in the hands of the workers. Your self-hosted AIs are fine, although I do ask that you only use energy intensive processes if you have solar panels. After all, this planet is the only one we’ve got. At our current rate of pollution, soon the world will only be inhabitable to AI.

But I downvote anything promoting corporate AI designed to replace people’s jobs. I am all for replacing human jobs, if the humans get to relax and live comfortable lives afterward. But I am against replacing jobs if we choose to have a society where you need a job to live. That’s not nature, it’s a choice we make as a society. The minute you automate someone’s job, you do necessarily admit that society doesn’t need that person’s work to get by. The only reason they shouldn’t get to put their feet up and take it easy is political. And politically, we have decided instead what happens is they die. That’s unacceptable, and until it changes, we can’t afford to have job replacing machines.

There’s not 0 indication of tone through text. I’m autistic and even I know that. Watch this:

Hey, mate! Good to see ya. How’s the missus doing?

Hello Richard. Thank you for joining us today. Is Selena settling in well?

tbh I thought it was satire

Would you define a long distance relationship that’s lasted for multiple years with daily video chats as online dating?

I know someone who, when it’s having a panic attack and is asked a question, it asks the person asking what the correct answer is. Even if they have no way of knowing.

It’s a newer episode.

A dive, a sex dungeon, and a junkyard are important stops on the way to a wedding. Two men both want to make their baby wet.

Ew.

But he doesn’t want different neighbours. He loves Sponge and Pat.

If I were in Olga’s position I’d go create another Natasha account on the same platform and start making videos saying “Hey, Natasha here. I just learned what things are really like in Ukraine and I’m furious about what Russia is doing to innocent civilians. Putin is an evil man. Also my main account has been hacked, please report it so I can get it back.”

If Natasha is Olga then Olga is Natasha. Olga probably has a case to take over the accounts, given they’re videos of her, and start pushing out antiwar propaganda.

Maybe I like mischief too much
