    The first statement implies that fascists are deserving of equal rights as everyone else. This don’t the case, though, because what they want is the destruction of other people’s rights.

    Fascists don’t play by the rules, because they don’t think they apply to them or they are inconvenient. If they rules don’t apply to you then they don’t apply to you. Can’t have it both ways.























  • I disagree with you, and @[email protected] - respectfully.

    I’m not trying to detract from AI’s issues, or insist that we can only address one issue at a time. However, if I was given $100 Million to address these issues, I’d be investing 99 millon into dealing with water, land, and mining related issues, as those can have immediate effects. Emissions are such a hard one to address, since it requires buy in from literally everyone (look how hard that was with COVID, and people were dying right there and then due to it). Regulating and reducing AI emissions seems a lower priorty to me compared to things like better O&G regulation which are likely to have larger impacts on overall emssions.




  • I don’t think it diminishes them. If anything, it highlights how little we understand about the disorders, psychology, and treatment of mental health.

    I’ve got ADHD and anxiety, yet ADHD meds turned me into a zombie. Dealing with the anxiety with medication made my ADHD symptoms much more manageable. I’ll still forget my car keys every time I leave the house, but I no longer have days where I lose them 5 times in a day, or spend 30 minutes looking for them. I can also focus on a task for more than 20 minutes at a time without needing a break or getting totally distracted.

    Remember, memes are generally meant to be light-hearted, or offer quirky perspectives. I’m not trying to put anyone down here.


  • Unrelated, but those Russian peat samplers they show in the picture SUCK ASS to work with.

    You punch them into the peat using your body weight. You turn it exactly 180 degrees, then you pull it up, fighting the whole time with grip and peat suction. If you turn 179 degrees or 181 degrees, you miss the slot for the fin that you created on the way down and now have to pull 10x harder.

    It only takes 50 cm bites, and you need 50 cm increments to describe the peat profile. The deepest peat I dug was 780 cm.

    If you push it into the underlying mineral soil, it gets stuck, and you need 2 or more people to help pull. We once devised a system of ratchet straps to help pull it up and that barely worked.

    Oh and the sampler and it’s extensions are heavy as fuck, and the threads jam up. Now carry this god forsaken torture device though kilometers of spongey peat hummocks…
