It's 100% FSD....

A human driver will almost always realize they're actively having an accident, and will be slamming breaks and attempting to swearve.

FSD not noticing something and driving straight into it won't react itll just act like what it's about to hit isn't there right up until the collusion.

A second of brakes before an interstate accident and human drivers instinct to protect their side of the car goes a long way to saving lives.

Vote in primaries to ensure at least one of the options in the general have a chance of putting people over the wealthy. People who will re-instate the campaign finance laws that Republicans and "moderates" started getting rid of in the early 90s. And from a "apply your own mask first" POV, we desperately need to stop letting our own party keep pulling this "victory fund" bullshit Hillary started, all it does is starve state parties to try and help get a more conservative president than Dem voters want.

All of that money would be better spent where it belongs, with state parties.

A lot of our problems are relatively recent and a direct result of being reduced to having to pick between a neoliberal and a republican.

That's not a real choice, and it being all we get election after election leads to depressed turnout and Republicans over performing. And no matter which side wins, they deregulate campaign finance and reward wealthy donors.

We've come insanely close, and arguably did it in 08, except Obama ignored the party instead of putting work in to fix it.

I know it's pedantic, but ancient Greece is by no means "western civilization"....

They heavily influenced western civilization, but they're separated by multiple eras and thousands of miles.

And the same thing obviously existed (and still exists) outside of both the geographic and chronological eras.

So I just really don't understand where that specification came from, or why later you say outsourcing labor is the same...

But this isn't an immutable human characteristic either. The vast majority of people don't want it.

It's just that wealth = power. And with unregulated capitalism the most unethical will accrue the most wealth because they're the most cutthroat, and the more they have the more they accumulate.

Your hearts in the right place, but you don't have the details right.

And people give me shit about it all the time, but the details are the important part.

Now more than any other point in my life, we need people to understand what's really happening. Because it honestly isn't that hard to fix if we can get everyone on the same page again.

Man...

You'd think you'd have realized that capitalism was the root cause at some point of typing that...

In our economy, what matters is how much the numbers go up. At a certain point the only way to make profit keep increasing is to outsource and cut quality.

Like, you think it's just because they're dumb, but you're not looking at the same metric.

You want long lasting corporations making steady profits and quality products...

But that's not what's best for the people who own the stock. All they want is their number to go up as fast as possible so they can sell when it's high. Then do the same to another company.

You want to change that?

Vote for progressives who want to tax stocks to incentive long term investments rather than the current system.

This isn't a tech problem or a even a management problem. It's an economic one.

I have zero idea why everyone expects shit to go smoothly after it took what, like 19 votes to get a House Speaker? It might have been even more.

Everyone just expects this gaggle of sycophants and psychopaths to agree on shit?

If someone gets anything, the rest are going to sabotage them so they get replaced. So even if they all want to do something, they all want the credit and will prevent the person next to them from doing it.

Crabs in a bucket.

He went on to address the allegations against him, saying he deems them "worth less than nothing." "Under our laws, a man is considered innocent until proven guilty. If AG Garland (an unprincipled D-bag) could have secured a conviction against Gaetz, he would have, but he knew he could not. Case closed," Musk added.

This probably a biggest eason why Garland was the absolute stupidest choice for AG Biden could have made.

Obama nominated him for SC, because he knew no one would get a hearing, it literally didn't matter.

Obama didn't really want Garland on the SC, because it would be a wasted appointment compared to what Republicans seat in the bench.

But Biden's old ass didn't understand what was happening. So he actually appointed Garland as AG, and seemed to honestly have expected Garland to do anything.

And trump supporters never know what's happening, they knew the name from before Trump took office as Obama's SC pick. Assumed that meant Garland was hyper partisan, ignored everything he did say, and when no one was held accountable, used it as "proof" that there was no evidence

The only people that was ever happy with Garland as AG, was Garland and neo liberals who also rarely understand what's happening.

On December 1, the situation, somehow, worsened when Kanye appeared on The Alex Jones Show. Over the course of the broadcast, he repeatedly praised Hitler and the Nazi party, insisting that he “loves” Nazis and “likes” Hitler, and at one point blatantly declaring, “The Jewish media has made us feel like the Nazis and Hitler have never offered anything of value to the world.” His remarks placed Jones in the rare position of attempting to help Kanye walk back his extremism by reminding him that Nazis “did a lot of very bad things.”

“But they did good things, too,” Ye responded. “We’ve got to stop dissing the Nazis all of the time.”

That was in the morning. By evening, Ye had been indefinitely suspended from Twitter for posting an image of a Nazi swastika inside of a Star of David.

What's weird is it's always the accounts with no activity making these complaints...

Including this thread, OP has made 4 posts and 20 some comments over the last year.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago (11 children)

So they blocked new accounts from Israel and Palestine, and the headline just mentions Israel?

Sounds about normal...

They probably thought you meant something different than what you actually meant.

...

You think they do an annual review of threads?

It was over a year ago I made the comment, they banned me for it five days ago.

I don't know man, it's weird you're not getting that, but it doesn't really matter.

I'm sorry if I'm explaining it poorly.

I did remember it wasn't I blocked a mod, I explained why I might not respond. And apparently they didn't like that I had blocked their instance

Weird, maybe because I looked at world's modlog and not theirs like you seem to have done.

I clicked on the link, it was a comment from literally a year ago lol.

https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/3159844

I blocked the mod of that sub about a week ago, so they likely went and saw my last comment there and banned me for it.

Like I said tho, I'm perfectly fine with it. I blocked their whole instance a long time ago, I think it might have actually been that thread that clued me in it wasn't worth ever going there again.

Thanks for finding that tho! I'll remember to check an instance's own modlog in the future for more details.

Quick edit:

(which your agreement to could be seen as agreement with trans-segrigation in sports).

Nah, I was explaining how the only way to get better at chess is to play better people, and there's no reason for any classes based around gender. And the explanation for difference in skill, is simply that the best men refused to play women, so they never improved. The first female grand master was only that good because her dad was crazy good and made her and her sister play him constantly.

You need the experience of high level play to be able to play at a high level, and any gender divide in division just prolongs that. So I was arguing against any segregation at all.

That's why they let it stay up a year until I blocked the mod of that community.

And suddenly it was transphobic.
