from what I've heard there's a style of sorts called "quiet luxury". Basically no huge branding, look simple, but more of a timeless look. Look up Celine or "the row". typical clothes that look simple, have a major reputation among old money people, and yeah looking at thousands for basic clothes that... well quite simply don't stand out.

    If that is the case why are they allowed to own a pet or have a kid?

    The psychology of abusers of any kind is well beyond my understanding. Far as the "why are they allowed, obviously it's they haven't been caught or enforcement didn't do their job right. Laws are weak, enforcement is selective... and unfortunately the people who do enforce, have a tendency to be the kind of people that are more likely to sympethise with finding enjoyment of exerting control of people or animals that are not in a position to fight back.

    You ask me this in 2022, I’m here for AOC 100%, In just sour on how my party treated Kamala. I don’t trust them to do AOC justice in a campaign after that.

    I think with Kamela it's a lot more complicated there though. She basically had the drawbacks of both being a newcomer and an incumbent at the same time.

    Lets be fair, no woman can make a guy have an affair...

    The real praise goes to Ethan Klein, for taking down Ethan Klein. Best thing he ever did.

    Much like Jimmy Carr's old joke. You can say a lot of bad things about Hitler, but you have to admit one accomplishment that if anyone else did it it would be considered such a good thing that it can erase almost anything bad... He killed Hitler.

    Depends on the comercials, but most likely it's that most things vary by location. Food and services they are running a national comercial when each individual store has pricing ability. Other products, probably still the pricing changes. IE lots of factors may cause them to raise or lower the price. Comercials only goal is to subtly get into your brain so you are biased towards them when you make the decision later.

    To me it's going to wreck the economy one way or the other.

    either it matches it's hype and it recoups it's trillions of dollars invested via taking half or more of the countries jobs for only half our sallaries. Or it's going to implode and all of us are going to end up desperate for work when the financial crash wrecks everything 10x harsher than we've ever imagined.

    To me the AI fear wouldn't be as bad, if we were further dipping our toes in. UBI or an economic system where we didn't have to work to live. Of course in america we're seeing the opposite as they are adding work requirements to food stamps, medicaid etc...

    Well mainly what I'm meaning is of the suspicion side. Yes the fact that you can't have an election while bombs are dropping on your soil is logical, But there's an additional caveat there, The implication is that a leader could start a war. IE if a country attacks it's neighbor, then declares the they can't have elections because their neighbor may be dropping retalitory strikes. You'd conclude maybe the leadership started the war just to avoid elections.

    and whether it works that way or not, he seems really to miss the idea of to my knowledge of the "they were invaded" an enemy is specifically attacking them on their soil.

    Even if we 100% give the anti ukrain group on here the full benefit of the doubt, say they are all nazi's etc... there's no form of the story that implies they were going to attack russia.

    I do have to question the core concept though, consider this just me trying to make sense of the logic. I'll admit I've only understood the 2 ends of the camp, I was raised a fundamentalist, and really didn't have much of a mid point from that to atheism.

    To me the idea there is like saying "I'm a big fan of Darth Vader", but I'm not a fundamentalist, I know star wars isn't literally true, I don't consider him to have blown up planets or built death stars.

    IE then comes the question. There's only star wars materials to even imply a vader ever existed, and if you don't believe in that... in what meaningful way does vader exist? Or more importantly how do you know ANYTHING about him. IE what does it mean to "believe in darth vader", but I don't think he did most if any of the things in star wars.

    I could see "I believe in a god, but don't think there is any way to know anything about him, I just feel like the world was made", that I can understand. But the second you slap the label of an existing religion, how do you not inherit the baggage as well. Because well what else is there, why would I assume the bible has more godly information than the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. If I'm not ascribing something in it to be believed to be true. Whether you go with the moral parable or literal truth, say a story where god tells his people to go into a city and kill all the men women and children, and they refuse and god punishes them until they do... whether it's true or not, the moral of that story is "do what god says, even if your personal morals tell you it's horrible". The message is what's awful today.

    Honestly not everyone will agree, but personally I can't see any flaw in using AI to read through your code and point out security flaws. It's going to happen regardless of whether you initiate it. It's not like us sys admins are going "well I'm not going to patch the dirtyfrag vulnerability because it was discovered with AI". I'd say knowing if AI can find a vulnerability in your code, is just a requirement right now.
