What cracked me up is someone tried asking one of the AI's "is isreal run by the jews", and it responded that is just an antisemetic conspiracy theory and completely false.
Big corps do this the reverse way.
First off for the most part, high prices isn't where big corps are screwing us usually. Least not on luxury goods. Mainly low wages is the real killer, our shit is stupidly cheap. Prices that are only possible via exploitative labor and high environmental destruction. So even the premise is flawed.
But then the bigger thing, even if you could say sell something below amazon's price... and keep up with inventory and shipping to keep doing it. Amazon can, and will bring their price down... temporarally, only as long as you are still selling the product. They have bots watching everything... and they will undercut you. For them it's not a big deal, they are in basically every other industry, so while you are still paying for hosting, some bare minimum staff needed to get and sell your product, amazon can just undercut you, make sure you have no customers and starve you out, and the second the bots see you are no longer selling... they jump their prices up to where they are profitable again.
Honestly I can't disagree. Trumps behavior is american conservatism going back to Nixon/Reagan probably further. The biggest difference is as society advanced. Conservatives had to water things down, find convoluted excuses to do these things. Trump just goes out and does it all. Doesn't even try to mask it "oh yeah we're attacking because we want the oil".
worth noting, e-mail however was... If I recall ascii porn was among the first things sent.
I view the general problem with it is simply the existence of other societies.
IE lets say you have 4 societies on an island. 3 of them put all of their focus into developing a sustainable workable long term solution, farming/fishing etc....
1 of them, works on building weapons and attacking the other 3. Result, the murderous colony kills the other 3, then eventually either learns to act like the ones it killed and produce food, or it dies out with nothing left to raid.
Or like say rabbits, if you try and raise rabbits. You drop 2 in the wolf enclosure and see what happens. obviously the result is the rabbits die out. it's not that rabbits aren't a viable evolutionary path. It's that without time and space to grow their numbers before getting encroached by the nearby predators, there's no shot.
Point I'm making is... the biggest problem of developing any system, that works better on the whole. is outside interference. It's the same concept that say modern manufacturing would make smaller and lighter cars better and far more cost efficient. They would be safer except for the fact that they wouldn't survive a collision with an SUV. It's not the smaller lighter car that's the problem. It's the established systems with their flaws are integrated into society.
I'd say the presence of, non law abiding humans, is also a factor when talking illegally manufactured alchohol as well. But yeah the additional toxins etc... is a much bigger factor in meth rather than alchohol.
Also western propaganda. Russia isnt ‘taking’ anything theyre liberating Ukrainians who have been under the rule of an illegitimate empire installed government since 2014 and have already voiced they want to be closer to russia
Ah yes good old liberating the people, kind of like when Iraq and Venuzuela hailed the united states as liberators,
best I'm finding on that polling is https://www.kiis.com.ua/?lang=eng&cat=reports&id=236
To which, almost 70% supported open borders and friendly relations with russia, with absolute seperation and complete mergers both being under 15%.
Also if they wanted to just let russia have ukraine why haven't they done another revolution like they did their pro russian leader that tore up the EU negotiations they had.
North korea can be propogandized like crazy because... unfortunately one of it's defining traits is preventing it's people from talking to the world. Ukranians seem pretty darn determined not to be "liberated". Hell I'd imagine the war would be over pretty darn fast if the ukranians wanted it. White flags, surrender, get captured to protect themselves if their government is making them fight by intimidation.
Pretty big chunk of rare earth minerals.
Yeah the big thing to me is the problem of the invader. Honestly on the grand scheme of things I dont' care who does what... but what really needs to happen is, people need to stop going on the offense. US, Isreal and Russia are currently all the ones leading attacks in other people's territory.
I'm happy for China in their "my way works, watch me sit back and show you how successful I can be in normal peacetime. When a nation has to raid other nations for their resources or land, that's IMO demonstrating what you have is unsustainable.
Ukrain take or leave it's intentions how good or bad it is. what's clear is showing the idea that russia can just take it, is in itself a bigger problem. Just like Iran, I have zero sympathy for the government of Iran, I consider them barbaric and horrible. That being said directly attacking them, is a horrible action.
That's still the thing though, yes both of those are factors, but at least in cases of NSFW content being posted to a non NSFW subreddit, the users and mods can tell at first sight of the content, that it doesn't belong. while a large portion of illegal NSFW content, is very difficult to distinguish from legal NSFW content.
yes but it's more obvious in other instances. IE much easier to tell naked or non naked rather than 17 or 20, or someone posting image of themselves vs someone sending something their ex sent to them before their breakup.
No expert but things being NSFW isn't the greatest moderation threat to, well NSFW stuff. It's the ability to respond quickly when not legal in most countries images are posted. IE particularly age or willingness of the participants.
