What if you build it on an asteroid or moon or planet. Uranus is ~-225⁰C, right?

The only way to create wealth is via work, e.g., income. It's not a perfect measure, I concede, since wealth is static and can accumulate over time. However, I think we can still use it as a rough estimation of stolen income over time.

However, this source claims there is a 70% gap between wages and produced value. That roughly matches the number I gave.

The top 10% of households hold 67% of all wealth. If we assume that every worker produces roughly the same value, that implies ⅔ of value produced by the average worker is being taken.

Of course, 33% is not 15%, but I'd say it's roughly in the ballpark. And in certain cases, there are definitely workers who are exploited to that level.

If you assume the flags stand for official government positions, then this meme makes sense. This is further supported by the fact that normal people don't think in terms of "one China policy" (like the post's title implies) but rather in terms of "unification", as you wrote.

I think you might have a career as an accomplished entymologist ahead of you with so much success finding bugs!

To be clear, the accusation is that the mod team is Zionist, and that they consistently moderate all anti-Zionist content.

It's a Zionist bar not just because there's a few Zionists, but because the bar owner keeps kicking out the people who cause a ruckus with the Zionists.

  1. They had a vote, and the people said strongly that they did not want to see this.
  2. Platforming Facism is the best way to spread Facism, and deplatforming Facism is the best way to fight it. Supporting their freedom to speak is in effect the same as supporting the ideology.

It's not really even errors. It is well-suited for what it was designed. It produced pretty good text. It's just that we're using it for stuff it's not suited for. Like digging a hole with a spoon, then complaining your hands hurt.

It depends what you mean by 'security'. Obviously, by introducing more layers, you have more places where exploits can life. However, the biggest threat by orders of magnitude is being tricked into giving stuff up, and that risk will remain constant.

Non-human, uncaring machines who amass and hoard wealth beyond human comprehension honestly doesn't sound any different than what we have now.

It's not really "know as 過労死" in Japanese. That's just the words for "excess", "work", and "death". That's kinda like saying "it's known as 'overworking to death' in Britain".

Quite often, I find that leaving a post up has value. It nukes context for the posts below it, which is bad. It's also not great if only part of a larger post is bad, since you lose all of it. Lastly, with a deleted post, it's unclear if the creator learned from it, or if they removed it to avoid the backlash.
