@Con78705 @JacobAShell I agree. But he’s one of those philosophers whose work has taken on a life of its own, influencing people, whether they know it or not

@HRS24381 @JacobAShell The thing about Rousseau's blank slatism is that it's not true. We can find instances of warfare incredibly early in human history.

I still genuinely dont understand why the idea that neolithic peoples engaged in violent conquests would be “a political problem.”

Superman Vs. The Elite. When asked why he doesn't kill Atomic Skull this is his answer. He isn't the Judge, Jury, or Executioner. But he can help prevent further harm in the here and now. Then when new age heroes challenge him to be so, he shows them how terrifying a killer Superman is.

If you want my two cents on it, I think this is a misinterpreted version of due process. Like, originally, you wouldn't bring people in alive just to feel better about yourself as a person. You’d bring them in so that they can be punished properly for everything that they have done, ultimately making an example of them so that others don’t try to do the same, and so their victims could feel some sort of catharsis. Somewhere along the way, it just became this weird blanket “killing the bad guys is bad” statement with no nuance.

@Con78705 @JacobAShell Look into Jean-Jacques Rousseau. He was one of the first big advocates for this idea. Not necessarily that Europeans/Christians ruined it but the society that existed at the time promoted evils like violence.

@JacobAShell A tenet of leftist ideology is that the world was peaceful before the evil Europeans/Christians conquered and ruined everything, which is why they defer to 'indigenous people'. In reality, everywhere's been fought over violently. They resist the facts because it harms the agenda

Sounds like they were followers of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. He is the one we get a lot of the Nobile Savage stuff as we understand it today. Funny story. France, National Assembly 1789. Advocates of Rousseau-inspired republicanism sat on the left side of the chamber. Advocates of the older order and some form of monarchy sat on the right. I have heard this is why we call one side the Left and other Right.

@JacobAShell @2percentisfair I had a couple profs at UNM who claimed war /conquest was merely cutural and there were societies, tribes, civilizations that existed without war.

@Sn0totter @Inplainsightyyy @xwanyex specifically back in the day when the senator was elected by the representatives of state Congress, not the popular election currently is

@Inplainsightyyy @xwanyex senate used to be the solution

The problem with this whole thing is that the premise is incorrect

@Rothmus Walkable for the students. Maybe. But how often was the stuff who kept the place functional were commuting?

“Folks romanticize college because they lived in dense, walkable-” They romanticize college because it was the last time they could be full-time irresponsible adults. Drink, smoke, fuck, eat gas station sushi at 4am, and pull all-nighters because your biggest consequence was a 9 am lecture you’d skip anyway. And everyone around you was as degenerate as you are. Nobody with kids wants to live in that zoo. WaLkAbLe NeiGhBoRhOoD

@bumbadum14 It’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie, but don’t the infected show hyper aggression towards any non-infected?

Easy litmus test: Do you identify with the zombie vampires that eat people because they look sad sometimes Or The living human being that doesn’t eat people who just had his best friend murdered by the zombie vampires

@ClownWorld Yeah, I had a Door Dash phase. For a while it was nice but then I realized...It would be just as fast if I went to get it myself, it would be cheaper, and more often it would be a little hotter.

A customer holds up their Wendy’s DoorDash receipt next to the actual in-store prices and shows how much more expensive the exact same items are on the app. They point out the markups on everything from Double Stacks to nuggets and drinks even before fees. Going inside the store yourself is clearly way cheaper than ordering delivery.

@ClownWorld OK, but why move it to the side? And how much would it cost to fix if the sensor goes bad or the handle thing is lost?

I hate it

@brivael I read Animal Crossing Turnip Black Market and I had to look that up.

Je suis d'accord avec 99.99% de ce que dit Elon. Là où je diverge, c'est sur la disparition de l'argent. Première prémisse : oui, on va vers l'abondance. 99% des biens et services qu'on consomme aujourd'hui vont devenir quasi commoditaires. Coût marginal qui tend vers zéro sur la production, l'énergie, le transport, la santé de base, l'éducation. Sur ce point Elon a raison. Mais il y a un truc qu'il sous-estime : la valeur relative. L'humain n'évalue pas en absolu, il évalue en relatif. Girard l'a montré : le désir est mimétique. On ne veut pas une chose pour elle-même, on la veut parce que d'autres la veulent. Et la rareté, même artificielle, est ce qui fait émerger le désir. Prends l'art. La valeur d'un Basquiat n'a rien à voir avec son coût de production. Elle vient de sa rareté absolue et du statut que confère sa possession. Une fois que tout est abondant, ce qui reste rare, c'est ce qui ne peut pas être reproduit : l'attention, la signature, le rang, l'accès. Prends les jeux vidéo. Tous, sans exception, recréent une currency. Du gold local, des skins, du rank ELO, des trophées. Et les jeux qui prétendent s'en passer finissent par la réintroduire. Minecraft était un pur sandbox créatif, et la communauté a recréé de la compétition, des serveurs PvP, des économies internes, des leaderboards. Animal Crossing, supposément zen, a généré un marché noir de turnips et de meubles rares. Pourquoi ? Parce que l'humain a besoin de verticalité. Besoin de se situer. Besoin d'un signal coûteux qui dit "je suis ici dans la hiérarchie". Sans ça, l'expérience devient plate, ennuyeuse, et littéralement les gens décrochent. Donc oui, le travail au sens du XXe siècle va probablement disparaître pour beaucoup. Oui, les besoins de base seront couverts. Mais non, l'argent ou son équivalent ne disparaîtra pas. Parce que ce que l'argent encode, ce n'est pas seulement un pouvoir d'achat sur des biens. C'est un médium d'échange pour la rareté résiduelle, et un signal de statut. Ce qui peut changer, c'est la nature du médium. Peut-être que ce ne sera plus l'euro ou le dollar. Peut-être que ce sera de l'énergie (kWh comme unité de compte, ce que Taleb et d'autres ont déjà esquissé). Peut-être de la compute. Peut-être de la réputation tokenisée. Peut-être un mix. Mais le besoin structurel d'un médium d'échange et d'une unité de compte pour ce qui reste rare, lui, ne disparaîtra pas. Tant qu'il y aura des humains, il y aura de la mimesis, du statut, et donc une currency. L'UBI n'est pas la fin de l'argent. C'est juste le plancher. Le plafond, lui, sera défini par ce qui reste rare dans un monde d'abondance : l'attention humaine, l'accès aux meilleurs, la signature, le goût, le rang. Et tout ça s'échangera dans une unité de compte, quelle qu'elle soit. Hayek avait déjà vu ça d'ailleurs : la monnaie émerge spontanément parce qu'elle résout un problème de coordination que rien d'autre ne résout aussi bien. Tu peux supprimer une monnaie particulière, tu ne peux pas supprimer le besoin d'une monnaie.

@mikematthews01 @TheMagaHulk Not necessarily. That style of logo has been used since the 90s to denote something with both heroes in it. I remember seeing similar for Animated Adventures of the two heroes.

@TheMagaHulk Apparently. I have to catch it the next time I rewatch it. That would’ve been years before Man of Steel. Nolan Verse was still being filmed at that time. I guess Warner Brothers always wanted it.

Your end was scrapped because test audiences hated it. The retarded monsters that eat everyone are the bad guys. And Neville is the good guy who saved humanity. Now he finds peace and gets to be with his wife, his son, and his German Shepherd that the monsters murdered.

@azusa_maxima @Mic_Honster He is inheriting a city that has been poorly managed for years. Thanks to its massive role in the economy it has mitigated, but his plans involve a LOT of spending

@Mic_Honster 自分が見たのは市長が100日で財政破綻させたっていうニュースでした

ニュースを見たアメリカニキみんな「ニューヨークでは日常茶飯事だぜ」って言っててつよい

@RepKeithSelf Some one on the internet did a Green Screen "running from a tornado and the car won't start" bit on this idea.

Imagine a woman fleeing an attacker—and her car won’t start because it thinks she’s impaired. Imagine a farmer injured on the job—his truck won’t start because it thinks he’s drunk. These are the unintended consequences of the Kill Switch mandate. Kill the Kill Switch.

@GibArtemisSkin @Phantom53516962 @kevinbolk Only when he activates his quirk outside his hero duties. And yes it is stupid. I can kind of understand the rationale, that it was to limit chaos. But it does completely restrict people and creativity of society.

@HRS24381 @Phantom53516962 @kevinbolk Would it be illegal for Eraserhead to make eye contact?

This is why I’ve never understood the desire for “realistic” superhero stories. A world with actual godlike metahumans wouldn’t just look like ours with capes, it would be completely unrecognizable. For instance, gold would be effectively worthless in a universe where someone can literally poop it out.

@LiveBeware @kevinbolk I think they could have gone even further than what they actually did. I have seen some discussion on possible engineering and scientific possibilities when you can freely control the 4 classic elements.

@kevinbolk Legend of Korra was interesting showing a bending powered industrial revolution after the war was over.

@Phantom53516962 @kevinbolk I think given the larger world building, it would be potentially illegal for her to use her quirk in that way. In MHA's Japan (at least) using Quirks in public is highly restricted unless you have a government license like the hero one.

@kevinbolk My hero Academia has a character that can do that and they just explain that she doesn't want to wreck the economy by making fake money or something.

@dan_170_ @UtahFlatRanger Not sure if he was an isolationist, but he did advise caution against permanent allies. In his farewell address he expressed a need for honest and harmonious commercial relations, but to keep politics out of it.

@UtahFlatRanger Also we were a brand new country it makes sense Washington was an isolationist

The founding fathers burned three Ottoman Vassal States because they dared enslave American Sailors. Millions for Defense, Not One Cent in Tribute.

@TheEXECUTlONER_ Yes, my cat Tiger was missing for over 100 days. Then right as I had to leave for a conference I get a call that my sister's teacher found him about 4 miles away from my house.

This family lost their cat. She took off and they couldn’t find her. A week went by and the daughter was outside and lo and behold, the cat shows up. Look at how overjoyed that young girl is. Heck, she trips in her excitement but spins around to protect the cat from getting hurt as she falls. ❤️. Have you ever lost a pet and had it come back after some time? A week, two, maybe longer- years perhaps?

@JadenJTW @1MikeMcMichael Yeah, apparently the original poster confirmed in a private message response that that very critical piece of information was in his mind, but he didn't spell it out because he thought everyone would assume it meant literally every human being on the planet.

@1MikeMcMichael If children, animals, and ANY AND ALL life without full reasoning ability are counted, I'd press blue. A higher share of blue means more lives saved, and at that scale, the math makes blue the only choice.

Which do you press? 🔵/🔴

@kurotesuta @LuluTeala @KirscheVerstahl Soybeans are usually in top 4 largest crops by acres and top 3 largest by value. Top US Uses 1) Export 2) Animal Feed 3) Vegetable oil 4) Bio-diesel 5) other food uses.

@LuluTeala @KirscheVerstahl What are you doing with soybeans in ‘merica?
