But not by the white people.

Many restaurants are allowed to pay their employees below minimum wage. They expect tips to fill that gap.

It should but it doesn’t. Like for a while starbucks tips would go towards the shift that cleans the place.

Are clean surfaces something special?

Does Japan / type-A not have grounded circuits?

If this is Walmart we’re talking about then I sure as hell contributed to their success by subsidizing their underpaid employees with food stamps.

Don’t know who needs to hear this but VPNs are allowed in China and can get around “censorship”. In general you can still access information abroad but China is dedicated to having their mass-media not be inflammatory. You can talk about Uighurs on RedNote, but you can’t level baseless accusations and expect those to stay up.

Please tell me you didn’t realize we’re talking about athletes that have undergone HRT and this study isn’t applicable in that case.

You need to have better opinions. Only Nazis disagree with me! /s

The point is that being a consumer of AI is not seizing the means of production. If you’re not spending millions of dollars training and operating the AI to actually own it, the power you have is on lease and the terms can change at anytime without regard to your needs or wishes.

A functioning judicial system is a prerequisite to any sort of accountability. And if we had a judicial system that served the people, then the Epstein client list would be known and prosecuted. The problem is we have a two-tiered justice system.

More like national socialist

AI isn’t your pal, it is not the cure for isolation under capitalism. It is also not free to run unless you are the product.

Frankly this take that AI will lead to a communist revolution if people embrace the technology reads more like Vulgar Marxism. You’re not seizing the means of production by being a consumer of a technology. And training a communist aligned LLM is a dubious value proposition.

it’s all computer!

So I guess you’d say we should change nothing and ignore the wildly eroding support and the poll numbers showing the democratic party has just 28% favorability?

My brother in Christ, you’re not talking to a liberal here.

Listen to yourself. You’re saying the Democrats are our only hope yet they also don’t listen.

Democrats do listen, but only to those with power. Before anything can change for the better we need power for ourselves.

Obamacare was always a rhetorical device to prove how unserious the GOP is at governing.

Except MAGA is not neoliberalism unless we think tariffs are now “free trade”. I get the point that neither party will wield power against capitalism, but they still use their power differently.

I think in order to be a good psychiatrist you need to understand what your patient is “babbling” about. But you also need to be able to challenge their understanding and conclusions about the world so they engage with the problem in a healthy manner. Like if the guy is worried how AI is making the internet and world more dead then maybe don’t go to the AI to be understood.

Does he have a grave? Would be ashame to let a good outhouse to go to waste
