It might put California on the track to surviving Trump’s destruction and becoming a civilized country opposed to Putin, unlike other US states.

When they say they want freedom, they mean freedom to be openly racist and such. They’re not really interested in freedom in general, they want a strict regime.

Yep, in many cases that could be a major improvement.

Ti-tan, die Sonne sheint…

Could have also just explained, no need for personal attacks.

They want the asshole to fix it, they’re just being skeptical about it because assholes have a tendency to not fix things at all.

You’re almost there. Having no money makes you a criminal.

They might be scared anyway, though. They’re just stupid people like us.

But not like that, please, there are usually other options.

Don’t tell them. Who needs a baby boom.

Do we really need a baby boom though? I agree we need affordable housing, everything you mentioned and more. At the same time I don’t think the population should grow forever (so education and available birth control).

I agree, but that doesn’t change anything, right? Even if you are in the 2% most intelligent and you’re somehow immune, you still have to live with the rest who do get influenced by AI. And they vote. So it’s never just a they problem.

That’s not the same as just letting an LLM to halucinate a whole article from nothing - which it sounds like when you say it was written by AI. LLMs are not a bad tool for translations, they have to be checked well though. Working with a language is the one thing they can actually do - unlike giving real answers.

No, they were not. AI was probably used for translation.

You can have impact personally. That’s why many people hesitate to join a group and actually do something - they don’t understand only if they are personally active they can matter. Not doing anything because a person feels like activity is not realistic makes people resigned and idle.

Edit: I do understand your feeling of needing to have an impact. It’s important to understand what kind of activity is worth devoting ones self to. I personally feel motivated to be active when I watch superhero movies, so I guess it can have different effects on different people. As always, things are not black and white.

But even to take action in a group, you have to make the individual decision to join. You have to chose for yourself, which takes individual bravery, because even if you’re part of a group, the responsibility and potential repercussions will be yours to deal with. A group always consists of individual people. I read superhero stories as stories about finding the bravery in yourself (the superpower) to go and join the good cause despite the terrible danger.

I don’t agree with your view of superheros. I think they work as a metaphor of any person brave enough to stand up to evil. People never imagine they are the powerless population. The films focus on the heros and people personify with them - it’s inspirational. There has also been a big stress on heros needing to team up lately. The movies did nothing wrong. I agree with everything else though.

It’s not for people who were convicted. No due process allowed.

Do go for the shitty admins with no mercy though. We don’t need Wiki to slowly rot from the inside.

Exactly. People who want to believe certain things will find them in the Bible and will disregard the rest that’s also written there. Belief is, unfortunately, irrational.
