And they’re barely trying. Latin American countries invest most of their transportation budgets into car infrastructure, even though the minority of citizens uses it. Why? Because Latin America.
Imagine what they could do if there was any political will.

Some overlap? It’s like 90%

So she didn’t object to killing cows? The problem was the bell making noise? Ok, denial justified.

You also seem to have American thoughts in the background

Makes the problems of capitalism even worse. Instead of the owner class you get an even smaller political class controlling all means of production - the party leadership. It becomes even more prone to corruption than capitalism.

Adding to problems is the planned economy - it always results in misaligned incentives, bad allocation of resources, constant shortages…

Third, possibly the worst, is the constant insistence on ideological purity and severe punishment of “thought crimes”. Or as they like to call it “counterrevolutionary activity”.

Even though it was created out of good intentions, I don’t believe a lot positive aspects can be salvaged.

If she speaks Spanish hide your bread!

If it wasn’t for the culture wars, it would be another Oscar Pistorius situation. Not the murder, the prosthetics.

For those who don’t know this guy was a runner whose legs were amputated, and he got replacement prosthetics that made him as good if not better than runners with natural legs. There was some debate if his disability actually gives him an advantage, if it should be allowed at all.

They also have a trans railway in Siberia. Only trans people are allowed to use it.

Let’s see what new and original ways he’ll find to fuck up Bolivia.
Socialists had their run, and they did fuck it up majorly. But now it’s time for new kind of mistakes.

everyone should. less people actually do care, but still many people care

why do they care? because they care about living their own life. if you spend your life making someone else well off, what’s even the point of living

They usually live from other people’s labor.
There are 2 classes of people in the world:

• those who earn from their own work
• those who earn from other people’s work

It’s rare to find an upper class person who earns living through their own work (usually sports and music)

No need. If they have heirs, the wealth will be split. If the resulting heirs still have enough to be billionaires apply the solution recursively. Eventually it will be diluted enough that nobody is a billionaire.

If there are no heirs it usually goes to the state (depending on jurisdiction).

Oh no, it’s even worse. He actually believes in the religious stuff he’s talking about. Not just a manipulative schemer, a true believer.

Liked it while I was working on the technology side figuring out MLOps in a company. Well those were technically ML models but same thing. I also did a small pet project creating an LLM from scratch, that was fun.

But I see little appealing as a user. I sometimes use it as a glorified search engine, and admittedly can be good at that. Mostly because Google search went to shit. Generated images, songs, videos … so pointless and fake. There is nothing human behind it, I can’t possibly enjoy that content. Talking about “serious” AI “art”. Jokes are a different thing, brainrot memes are kinda good.

I wasn’t aware marooning was still a practice on cruise ships

“send nudes” is among the least offensive things I’d expect Grok to say

New planned cities often have this problem. But in long term I don’t think it will stay a ghost city if the government moves there.

That being said they could have upgraded an existing city on Borneo instead of going through the pain of building a completely new one.

Because of course
