Okay boomer. You understand technology I guess. This technology that’s so good and has so many applications and isn’t a trillion+ dollar ponzi scheme, and is totally gonna summon us up god any minute now.

‘Deep neural nets’ that’s not a thing, dude. If it was, it was out on ice for this trash.

No but Turing was involved, and the guy who wrote ELIZA

The tech isn’t new. That’s all the effort I’m willing to put in for this trash.

We ha e known since the 50s. The math was done.

Exactly!

Everything is fine. It will become god and fix all our problems any second now, and if you say that’s mathematically impossible you’re just a hater.

No, the tourist streets are really long and everyone forgets about the oil.

No I live in an oil/port town with like two streets that are glorified tourist traps no fucking outdoor cats anywhere.

All the other stuff though.

“I tried to liberate the underclass, stole some stuff, and did a staggering amount of drugs.”

“I asked what you did for your mental health. What did you do for your mental health?” “I… I tried to liberate the underclass, stole some stuff, and did a staggering amount of drugs. I also tried to pet a cat, but I swear this fucking city is reverse Istanbul.”

No, its measured in mph/kph and the clocks would speed up too.

No, the word. What do you think “illegal” is?

illegal

What do you think this means?

He just wonders why we do not eat delicious cake.

I’m not willing to argue with you. I’ve argued this with you¹ a thousand times, you are not rational. Everyone who reads your shit knows what I’m talking about. Ask them.

¹perhaps with a different name and face, but otherwise indistinguishable. It gets tedious.

Yeah if it’s exactly zero effort it’s fine, but asking others or shaming them for not is counterproductive.

Unless you think you can somehow reason with billionaires¹ there us precisely one way out and we need to stop pretending anything else will help until that is done.

If you are not a killer, you are not helping the climate.

¹you can’t. People have tried and it did not go well. That’s why we have such a bunker boom!)

Because someone said they had to have a program and they just kind of did the bare minimum.

Because they meant well and hired a company to do it, and dumping was ehat they were set up to do.

Because they meant well, and then found out facilities didnt exist or there was a liability issue that made them skittish but the program had already been in campaign ads so constituents still had to see the bins, but the city would just be putting them wherever…

You don’t reason someone out of a position they didnt reason themselves into, and I cannot figure out how to come to conclusions that incorrect. Just leaving a warning; my reply wasn’t for you.

You’re right about wage theft being common. So that’s something.

Until you kill the fuckers tearing them out, you’re just lying, making yourself comfortable with doing nothing.

We absolutely need to be planting and nourishing those trees.

And they must, unfortunately, be watered with blood.

Some do. Some just dump it like everything else.

Not more effective. When one party hordes power and refuses to negotiate, and wants you to die or is committed to a course of action that will with certainty kill you ¹ there are two choices: violence and suicide.

I’m pretty okay with either option, but please dont pretend suicide is anything else. Like my natural apathy does tend to put me on team suicide, but people lying about it who start to panic when they can’t lie to themselves anymore are really fucking up my chill.

¹lucky us; we get both
