well, with 2 trolleys it is the same amount of suffering as with 1

the techbros that think that with sufficiently advanced AI we could solve climate change are so stupid. like, we might not have a perfect solution, but we have ideas on how to start to make things better (less car-centric cities, less meat and animal products, more investment in public transport and solar), and it gets absolutely ignored. why would it be different when an AI gives the solution? unless they want the “eat fat-free food and you will be thin” solution to climate change, in which we change absolutely nothing of our current situation but it is magically ecological

not OP, but according to some of those definitions (cambridge, collins, longman), NYC would be the only metropolis in the US, as it is the US’ largest, busiest, and most important city.

Giving people money to rise them out of poverty does buy happiness

Greedily accumulating wealth after you have enough money for anything you could have ever needed doesn’t

I guess random, but i really like this alternative to the periodic table:

Because you can see how, after H and He, you do 2 loops of 8 and add the transition metals to the next 2 loops; then you add the lanthanides and actinides to the next 2 loops. And can easily see how the superactinides guy in the extended period table

As soon as a company sells shares it takes the route of infinite growth which is impossible

yeah, the stock market makes that a company that is stable and generates a reliable income each year is seen as bad, but a company that has large grow in obviously unsustainable speed, which doesn’t have plans on how to ever become profitable is good (i am not specifically taking about netflix here)

from the article:

Black and Latino people are “much less likely to get arrested because the stops are bogus from the get-go,”

so, no. the disproportionate number of stops is not because of differences in crime rates. but also, it should be pretty obvious that white people (who are around 30% of the NYC population) should account for more than just 5% of crimes, even considering that more crime will be committed by poor people, and that poor people will be disproportionately non-white.

it is. quiet quitting is a bullshit word that corporate created to make people feel guilty for just doing their jobs, because you are supposed to live for work or something. it is all bullshit

but most people can

and, ironically, the commute would be better for drivers too, if most people were to take public transport, since roads would be less crowded (and only with people who enjoy driving, instead of people who are forced to drive)

are you arguing that he shouldn’t be sent to prison if he is found guilty? or that having him in jail until trial is a mistake?

the first one: yes, if he is found guilty, he definitely should be sent to prison. he is accused of committing fraud for billions of dollars.

for the second: yes. his bail was revoked because there was reasonable cause to believe he was attempting to tamper with witnesses

yeah, a “tape recorder” that adapts to what you ask… if there was a tape recorder before where i could put the docs i written and get recommendations on how to improve my style and organization, i missed it

that photo was almost definitely taken during covid, when going inside was not an option

unless you are paying 10 pounds the liter, then no, it is not
