And data collection. People think they’re good if they just don’t give it personal info but you’re definitely being fingerprinted and tracked. If they haven’t already they’ll eventually partner with meta or google (in the case of Gemini that’s obviously already done) to match any fingerprinting to much denser profiling. Plus they’re designed in a way to encourage you to let your guard down and talk casually, which disarms you and makes it more likely you mention identifying info they can’t determine from IP and fingerprinting.

OpenAI has already added advertisement so this is definitely occurring. No one buys ads in this day and age without robust audience targeting

Do you know many successful law firms that don’t have administrative support?

Have fun finding ways to arbitrarily make yourself feel superior to people that are working just as hard if not harder

Equitable != equal. Shares can and should be distributed commiserate to input. If I work 50-60 hours a week and hire you to do 10 hours of work then obviously equal share is unfair.

However, at the same time, why do you inherently value the lawyer over the secretary? Both do a full weeks work, both are essential to the companies success. You are just attached to consumerism and the idea of hierarchy; that you should be able to be “better than” people you deem as peons. Does the janitor not deserve a fair share either because you will use some bullshit framing like “unskilled labor” to dismiss their essential contributions?

No person should own any company unless they are the sole employee. Ownership should be shared with workers in equitable stakes as the company expands.

Someone hasn’t heard of Jimmy saville’s reign of sexual assault that likely resulted in over a thousand victims (though the official number is 589) over like half a century (earliest reports dated to 1958 and he died in 2011), many being sick or disabled children that he gained access to via “charity work”. Like Epstein it was an open secret that literally everyone knew but wasn’t allowed to be acknowledged until he was dead and could not be held responsible. They did arrest several other co conspirators in the aftermath of this like Gary glitter but it was clear that saville had protection and the like 7 other people who went down after he died benefitted from whatever connections he had while he was alive.

He literally said in his autobiography he “had a predilection for young girls” and made jokes when questioned about his crimes. He was knighted and knew consequences would never come.

Depends on what kind of sprinkler system and how old it is. Some of them are closed systems and the water stays stagnant until it’s set off, so when it finally goes the water itself is a hazard because it’s been sitting potentially for years. It tends to come out very disgusting, black sludge that smells like actual shit. And then you have a whole specialized response and cleanup required because it’s loaded with bacteria.

They won’t clean it though, they’ll piss away more money to hire specialized cleaners and contractors to fix the damage

It’s also worth noting that microplastics appear in basically all body tissue, including the brain, when looking at samples from cadavers in recent years. I don’t remember the name offhand but one study found enough microplastics in the average brain to make a plastic spoon.

So this might be more of a correlative thing, hopefully. Because the world ain’t stopping with plastic everything

I don’t think I’ve talked to an employee in a grocery store in years. They’re all self check out or 95% self check out and there’s online directories to find the location of every product in the store

I have a friend who had a c section birth that otherwise had no complications (other than requiring a c section. They were in the hospital 4 days iirc, way less than a week. Insurance was billed for 98,000. They had a 10k out of pocket max, thankfully

You can retrofit electric drivetrains to basically any car but it’s not cheap and takes a decent amount of research and expertise in fabrication

It’s a stupid policy but it’s playing to the base of stubborn idiots and boomers. I know of several boomers that get irrationally angry at the fact that their engine stops and they have to wait a quarter of a second sometimes for their brand new car to start at a red light. You point out that this gives an appreciable increase in fuel economy, sometimes significant, and they don’t give a shit because they’re selfish assholes who would destroy the entire world to not be inconvenienced for the briefest of moments.

Those people will remember this

I saw it too. It also made no sense because his fears are not addressed in any way. He lays out all these intense concerns about AI in his home and the result is literally having the AI go “oh hey don’t worry about that here’s a thing to distract you”, he takes the bait, and then it just ends.

DNS Adblocking although you’ll need special rules for your tv (each vendor varies) and it has limitations. The ad networks have known about dns Adblocking as long as it’s existed so they circumvent it. On a pc with something like ublock (especially the old manifest 3 version) you can also stop scripts used to get around this but obviously on tv that’s not an option (plus it doesn’t always work, cat and mouse game)

I’d really like the ad industry to burn and everyone who works in it to go to jail

Agar maybe, or alginate

You say this but in many communities churches are the only option or the primary option because government has failed its populace.

When I worked with the homeless shelters would fill immediately, like within an hour of opening doors, and they would kick you out at 7am so you’d have to come back that evening and hope you make it. Closed during the day because of no funding for staffing. but churches would have much more space, would be open during the day, would have hot food, etc.

The funding for the homeless is nothing and gets cut year after year. In my state it’s somewhat decent too, in the more conservative states my understanding is that it can be more dire.

My conspiracy theory is that this is intentional: homeless services, rehab services, etc get minimal funding that is consistently slashed to funnel people into churches when they’re most vulnerable which allows them to be indoctrinated more easily. I worked with many people who either became very religious or if they were already religious became far more conservative and evangelical. Guess who also tended to vote against their own interests based on wedge issues like abortion and lgbt rights once they got back on their feet?

At the same time liberals don’t actually want to fund mental health services. They are viciously anti taxes and viciously anti homeless. Look at California: when programs start that are positive to improve the lives of homeless and start to break the cycle the NIMBYs come out in full force

They also do much better than the USA at addressing homelessness and most provinces regularly raise their minimum wage tied to the cost of living. They also are the world leader in expansion of green energy and public transportation

Ghislaines dad was literally Mossad and the day it was revealed he was Mossad he died for some reason but yeah it’s spoooooky Russia and not the genocidal zionists that are destabilizing the world

The profit is they steal your tax dollars in exchange for making you feel better about crime by satisfying your bloodlust and desire for revenge even though they demonstrably worsen the situation
