Countries are defined by land-hoarding class, because the nomadic people define themselves by their group instead of the land on which they live.

Without hoarders (landlords), we wouldn’t need to put as much effort towards regulating land use, instead we could focus on regulating behaviours. Ex: “this land is a national park, you are not allowed to trash it. Go next door, there you are allowed to pour the trash from your industrial process into the ground, because it’s your private land”

Hehe, I’ll have a read on that thread.

Yeah, that makes sense. It’s not so much that they are labeled weird, but that they are shocked thinking they were not…

Yup. A lot of feelings are unnecessary yet are there anyway for us to deal with them.

Nice, that makes sense. I’ll keep using weird.

Form time to time, i encounter these dominant toxic woman. It’s very rare compared to dominant toxic men, but just as annoying.

It’s the toxic domination that we needs to be rid of.

My weapon is choice is a flail, what do I do?

Yeah. Entropy increases in a closed system, but we keep receiving low-entropy energy from the sun.

By this argument, sustainable energy is solar powered.

COINCIDENCE!?

I don’t know a lot about DNA, but i know about facial recognition.

Facial recognition is highly inaccurate. It would be easy for people from the same country to “match” at facial recognition despite being totally unrelated.

If “face generation from DNA” is only roughly accurate (ex: nose size or skin tone), then anybody from the same ethnic origin could be a match. Basically, the more you look like the “average person”, the more likely you would fit the generated face.

Doesn’t it sound a lot like technology-enabled profiling?

We had bus drivers protests. They were not allowed to strike because “essential service”, so instead they publicly announced that they would “forget” to check people’s tickets.

Effectively they gathered people’s sympathy while distributing profits. That was effective!

That title sounds like an XKCD password.

MacOS, you mean Unix with a wallpaper? While Unix is not Linux, BSD is open source so it’s nice!

Didn’t you know? This cloud provider offers lead-free, gluten-free computing services without antibiotics! Also it’s not tested on animals!

When the completed manuscript exceeded 600,000 words, Cerf asked Rand to make cuts, but backed off when she compared the idea to cutting the Bible.

Wow, I didn’t know this author, and it seems I wasn’t missing much.

Not super active, but check the Lemmy server citizensgaming.com I’ve seen lots of posts in the same style as r/starcitizen (with a smaller ratio of complaints).

Wow this bench comes with an integrated safety loop to prevent people from falling when they sleep on this bench. Nice!

In Futurama it’s an ethical problem since robots have a conciousness.

If real life Amazon used robots instead of humans, it would solve so many (yet not every) ethical problems with my shopping habits!

I wish to downvote because this makes me sad… But i know that’s not how it works… take this upvote for nice art!

There’s also xlwings. The free tier does just that: run python code in Excel, and no cloud is required!
