Uh oh, are the tofu eating wokerati in the room with us right now?!

Their secret global government is going to increase levels of LGBTQ in the water by 7% over the next five years, something must be done!

Nothing we can do about idiots that believe everything they’re told. I doubt their government actually stated that these economic sanctions would bring Russia to its knees, that was probably sensationalist media reporting that the gullible in the general populace ate up without using a brain cell to consider the matter.

The sanctions are mostly doing their job, Russia’s economy is being kept at this level thanks to decisions that help in the short term but will have disastrous consequences long term.

Anything can happen of course, but as things stand unless they’re bailed out in a big way in the long term by becoming an economic vassal of say, China, they’ve got big problems on the horizon. Thanks in great part to the sanctions of the USA and of course ourselves in Europe.

This guy is just trolling, ignore him. It’s obviously not AI.

Where’s Wally?

There’s Wally!

Are you calling OP a liar?!

Don’t worry, Starmer’s already onboard as number 2 in that list!

That assumes you live in one of a small number of countries for which politics significantly shifted after one of those countries was attacked.

And also that you’re at least old enough to have had a reasonable mature understanding of the political landscape before 2001, so as to appreciate how things changed. Let’s assume that’d make you at least 20.

…So, we have to be at least 43 years old, and American, or you’ll assume we’re children?

Do you mean half of the world’s children, or half of the children in your own, unspecified country?

Literacy in my country is over 80%, which is still too low in my opinion, but fast better than half, thankfully.

That’s very illegal in the UK and EU, oh my.

Why would anyone pay for viewing a website?

Or to put it another way,

Why would anyone pay for using a service that costs money to provide?

… You don’t iron your clothes?

Do you just go places looking like you just got dragged through a bush backwards?

Why not just open the door with the key like every car ever

Before clicking the link I assumed it was some YouTube creator guy with a weird name.

Ah yes, global news is propaganda now because it’s not about, let me guess, America?

But if labour can afford to live, how will we minimise their ability to focus what little energy we leave them with at the end of their shift on improving their situation?

Paying a living wage is a slippery slope that ends in things like healthcare, education and opportunities being available to all, and that’d make them more than just our bought and paid for production labour, that’d make them our rivals.

I don’t think people are “refusing”, it’s not like it’s mandatory or anything. Nobody’s trying to force you to drive a car.

I know I’ll never be able to afford a car, they’re incredibly expensive to buy and operate, and most of my travel is already covered by our excellent Trams, Buses and Trains, which can get me basically anywhere comfortably and quickly.

For the times I need something special I can ask someone for a lift, but that happens only a handful of times a year. A car would be a big, expensive, risky piece of equipment to just leave sat around for someone to steal…

Aye, he’s an utter twat, is what he is.

Said his economic policies were from his god or some nonsense too, going against all of his policy advisors (who he came down hard on).

A nutjob deeply damaging the country he’s in charge of, economically, and in so many other dangerous fascist ways too :-(

That’s just one country of many, I don’t think that guy winning leadership of that country would affect how Google manages my information.

I’m not focusing on the things that don’t affect me in some way, and I’m still miserable.

I agree that staying informed is extremely depressing. But what would you have me do, stick my head in the sand and ignore what my government it’s doing? Ignore the growing control and power the rich capitalist ruling class have over us all year by year? Or ignore what the growing fascist powers within my nation and other important places like the USA are doing? Or how the global climate for humans is collapsing and what’s causing it?

Most of these things directly impact me right now, and will continue to have an even greater impact as time goes on.

I’m not focusing on news stories that have no impact on me. I don’t care what Elon Musk had for breakfast, what the latest hot celebrity is doing, or what the Royal family is up to. Even so, only focusing on what affects me and my family is a huge, deeply depressing weight that is ever growing.

I agree, it’s awful. But the world, for all the beauty it also contains, is growing ever more awful day by day. I just can’t find it in me to bury my head in the sand and hope it’ll all turn out fine, so instead I stay informed and stay miserable :-(

We can’t fight back if we don’t understand our enemy and what they’re doing to us. We can’t make informed decisions about who to vote for, for example, if we don’t follow those political parties and politicians track records, their history of decisions and statements and so on.

People who ignore the day to day stuff and then show up to do 10 minutes of bullet point blurb research to figure out who to vote for are not likely to gain a clear understanding of the parties or candidates true beliefs and intentions. The same is true for companies, we need to stay informed on what they say, what they actually do, so we can be informed on whether we want to work for them, or use their products and services, etc etc.

We must stay informed. They want us uninformed so they can manipulate us with ease. Ignorance is bliss, but at what price?

Anyway, it’s a quandary, and a sad one, I agree for sure 🫂

Nothing about how viable it will be to bring to market, if ever, just discussing R&D without much content.

Potentially always good to see these sorts of improvements :-) Is just not that impactful until they can make it useful. If it’s 50 years away from being producible at scale? Eh. If it’s only 6 months away and can drop in to existing pipelines? Hell yeah!
