that’s one way to get a leg up

he is an agent of capital principle

you know you could afford way more nice stuff like avocados and macadamia nuts and fresh veggies if you cut down on drug spending

Same guerilla tactics, just with better tech

Exactly, they shouldn’t be separated.

i too am feeling psychologically unfulfilled

Why is there a division between sexes in chess? Why is a “chess master” different from a “woman chess master”?

From what I have seen in chess forums, many old-school male chess players think there is a difference in analytical vs emotional mind or something in that vein which is just a thinly veiled version of sexism

I have a habit of scrolling during downtime during the day but I don’t have an attachment to lemmy specifically. One thing I like about this app is how mundane a lot of the posts seem, it’s not overly exciting and doesn’t cause tiktok-style dopamine addiction.

All forms of social media could be argued as being addictive to some degree but lemmy IMO is relatively harmless. Though there is something to be said about rage farming, many of the posts seem to be negative or anger-inducing in some way, but it’s not bad compared to many other platforms. And of course there is the ability to filter your feed by blocking certain communities but the personalization in that regard isn’t as good as reddit was.

Climate instability ruins delicate ecosystems, and California is known for its many diverse microclimates

I knew professional chess was blatantly sexist, but transphobic now too? Not surprised just dissappointed

welcome to the bible, where everything is made up and the rules don’t matter

i mean if you think about it godzilla is just ancient mythology except not ancient

in other words its a perfect name

no shit it doesnt hold water its a net

Fair, but usually I think the thought process is closer to “surrender, or get shot in the head” so the risk of getting exiled by your countrymen or being shamed online is kind of secondary

I can only imagine what is waiting behind that camera if he decides not to cooperate

what you say makes sense, not saying you’re completely wrong, but your whole argument is based off the fact that we have already chosen cars. But simply doubling down on a worse solution just puts us deeper in to the hole, instead of making the more difficult decision of redirecting some of our massive amounts of GDP in to larger scale projects (yknow instead of wasting billions on military spending & corporate bailouts) such as making the investment into the development of a proper rail network BESIDE our existing infrastructure, like china has done for example. (not supporting china but it is true that they have made massive progress in public transportation across a country equally large as ours, in a relatively very short time)

this is a stupid accusation. the video shows only several seconds of the situation while they claim to have attended to him for hours, removing all context. and they obviously don’t understand how difficult it is to save someone on the top of such a high elevation mountain

If we’re going to opt for public ownership then why would you choose the less efficient single passenger method over already-established public infrastructure like trains and trams and buses which have been proven to work well in other countries?

Also please elaborate on how self driving cars will improve parking issues. And as for traffic, while self-driving cars will be less likely to cause accidents and jams, hundreds of independent low-capacity vehicles are in no way more effective than a single locomotive carrying those hundreds of people in a smaller space.

You’re allowed to like self-driving cars, but buses and trains are objectively more efficient in the large scale and all you have to do is acknowledge that. The more people realize this, the more room there is for us to make progress

Good. no scrolly wheely

How about spacial inefficiency? A car only carries 1-6 people compared to a train which carries dozens or even hundreds. Or a bus which carries dozens.

Explain to me how self-driving cars will fix that

Yeah youtube has massive amounts of good content. The only downside is that it’s owned by google.
