They got wealthy by making smart decisions like these. They’re not trying to avoid paying a fair price, they’re trying to make sure they don’t get gouged when the buyers realize how deep their pockets are. I would challenge you to consider whether your statement was made with reason, or with a learned hate for those wealthier than you.
Honestly though, America is different and special. We have states the size of the some of those countries, and states with GDPs that eclipse most of the countries you listed. Local government is a completey different scale at some levels than any of those countries you mentioned. It’s important to remember we are all different, and that’s not a bad thing.
And I understand that you understand the joke. I understand that Posobiec and the far right are nuts and believe the Democrats have already done what he’s joking about. You didn’t need to be that explicit, and you don’t have to type “Sorry, I didn’t think I needed to be that explicit” in every reply to make yourself feel superior either. You’re not apologizing, you’re still on a high horse. I don’t even necessarily disagree with you but I took issue with your responses.
It is absolutey insane how hard it is to find one reasonable comment on Lemmy these days. ‘Naturally gifted’ density or willful ignorance, either way, there’s an impressive amount of people that believe he was speaking from the heart because it confirms their own beliefs.
Something something journey, something something destination
I dunno, depends on how long it’s been rotting…
I think even the most hardcore self hosting guys would probably caution most against setting up their own mail server too. One of the few things that has too many caveats to make self hosting make sense.
It’s fuckin weird to see a company make a decision based on the long term retention of their customers rather than short term profits… I like these guys.
I understand your issue with these cars - they’re dangerous, and could kill people with incomplete or buggy software. I believe the person you are responding to was pointing out that even with the bugs, these are already safer than human drivers. This is already better when looking at data rather than headlines and going off of how things seem.
Personally, I would prefer to be in control of the vehicle at all times. I don’t like the idea of driverless tech either.
Dude, I was trying to deal with the fucking Fullscreen cookie popup when the subscribe to unlock bullshit popped up and I just closed it immediately
Couldn’t send that point home any harder
I’m sorry friend, this is where I get off. You are assuming the police officer will always be faster than the attacker… I don’t know where we go from here. Thank you for the conversation.
It is one thing to be wary of something because you experience it often.
It is another to spew masturbatory hate at each mention of police.
It is his job and duty not to. If he arrived to the welfare check and immediately turned around and left…?
Even though this is a cherry picked argument - a melee weapon - I’m not sure it will help your point. Cops get stabbed, man. It happens even with their shoot first training.
Or - we could stop passing the blame and take accountability for making assumptions about our fellow man we should not make.
Wow. There are literally zero details in this article and everyone has labeled the cop a murderer. What a thankless, shit job, police. Could it not have been that the officer arrived on scene to an armed individual who then attempted to murder him? He’s conducting a welfare check, the person he’s checking on may not be all there… Both the checker and the checkee are humans and matter here!
Which is where I and the rest of the ACAB folks will probably start to agree - cops shouldn’t be the ones responding to these calls. The hard part is that sending unarmed social workers into dangerous scenarios is not the answer either. Tough problem to solve. World’s not perfect. Give your fellow human the benefit of the doubt, though. Not every cop is a murderous bastard, and thinking that way isn’t helping anyone except tickling your own smug feelings. It’s also a sweeping generalization, something that’s both foolish and frowned upon these days. This an appeal to the humanity in all of you - quit writing off humans with a single acronym. You are removing their humanity and labelling them a monster. We can look to history to learn from the same mistake.
I mean, “it’s shit” is technically discussion but I was hoping for more too lol
That’s actually fascinating to think about. Would be a fun project to mash something like Blazor Server and an LLM together and allow users to just kindly ask to rewrite the DOM in plain English.
This makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the insight!
That’s really exactly what this is - a virtual assistant - but with capabilities beyond what the current virtual assistants offer. On top of that, the end user can easily teach it new tasks, something current assistants lack. Current assistants are limited to their very limited established featuresets and integrations, while this tech allows the user to create their own integrations with little to no technical skill.
Now who knows how well it works in practice - but in theory, I could absolutely see this taking off for a large segment of the population. I see this as significantly more efficient than using a smartphone if the tech works. For example - flights - I could manually check and compare prices and layovers, enter all my information into a form with a smartphone keyboard, navigate each page, confirm, etc, which would take minimum a few minutes, or I could ask this AI to do that for me with a sentence. Tapping glass will one day be a thing of the past, and this is the biggest step I’ve seen in that direction. Competency will be the key here.
I don’t understand… Was he morally obligated to disclose the fact that he wants to build a large underground structure for some reason? Does that change the fact that they have land they want to sell, and he wants to purchase it?
