The spending on space exploration isn’t what is stopping us on satisfying the basic needs of everyone. It’s political will that stops us there. It’s the fact that our governments do not see their populations as their priority. They see their corporations as their priority.

Nowhere in the Bible is being gay defined as a sin.

I think that’s true of the new testament, but I think the old would hold male on male gay sex as a sin (i.e. “soddemy”). The act, not the state of being. I don’t think lesbianism is ever referred to.

But you’re right. The entire point is that we all sin and we all ask for forgiveness. We should all be humble to god.

Of course, it’s all bullshit, but it’s also been corrupted so much that Christians don’t even live by the lessons.

Why are even non-contact sports segregated? Tennis? Why?!

This has been tested on multiple occasions

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Sexes_(tennis)

The only real win in singles was Billie Jean King (then 29yo) over Bobby Riggs (then 55yo). Riggs had recently beaten Margaret Court who was a 17 year number one in the women’s game.

Martina Navratilova in 2023 stated that the reason the 55-year-old Riggs lost to the 29-year-old King was simply because of age.[37] Navratilova said Riggs lost “because Bobby was too old,” and added, “A 35 year old Bobby would have beaten all of us.”[37]

I like it.

People who’s roles mean they live off stolen credit of workers. People can add value to a company in lots of ways - Organisers, managers, leads, and grunts.

However, there’s a class of people that do nothing. They’re often in high level positions, and talk a good talk but do nothing. Their teams have no respect for them and have to do their role for them. They should have been fired long ago, but there’s often a cluster of them protecting each other. They gravitate towards roles like project manager, sales, customer relations, but I don’t want to say it’s everyone in those roles because sometimes you get good ones. It’s also not limited to them.

Regulatory capture. The government is funded by the medical insurance companies. The people haven’t demanded it because they’ve been told it’s not an option. It’s impossible, too expensive, a fantasy.

He liked Bavarian brass band music and classical orchestral music.

The point I’m making is there’s so much technological development in manufacturing that has to take place before you can even start, it probably wouldn’t happen any faster. Just the technology that builds the machines that builds the machines that build the chips is beyond the 1920s.

Turing’s papers on computing were all pre-WW2 anyway.

There was a British charity, The Spastic Society. They became fairly high profile in the early 80s being involved in children’s magazine shows for fund raising. Often children with conditions would be featured. The intent was that featuring them would make the condition more relatable, but kids saw them more freaks to be mocked.

It resulted in “spastic” / “spaz” becoming school playground taunts to the extent that the charity changed it’s name to avoid the term.

There’s a few term of that kind of age which were like that. Medical terms or just plain English words that became labelled “derogatory” because of how they were used. I always felt it showed how poor the vocabulary of some people was. If they only knew the derogatory meaning they’d get offended by it’s use in all situations even if the meaning was innocent.

Inference of 3D models exists. Combined with a rule deck of what the machine is capable of (i.e. so tools aren’t broken) I think you could be very close to “prompt to object” prototyping flows — if they don’t already exist.

Still might need a pair of hands to clean up.

Now, how many botched tries are people willing to to pay the material cost of, who knows?

I don’t see how that helps the validity of race as a concept.

You’re question assumes race is a real thing and not just something made up by people.

Cultures and communities are real. There’s Native American culture, Indian culture, Swedish culture and English culture. There is no “white” culture. It’s the clash of cultures than normally causes the problems we see in the world that we mislabel as “race”.

No you’re not the only one.

The US has an obsession with race which is understandable but deeply unhealthy. It will never heal as a country until it can get over it’s obsession.

You weren’t wrong. Just unlucky.

Homeschooling can’t give kids social interaction, which is just as important as the material. You can always tutor your kids in addition to what happens in school if you think the quality is low.

Reveal.js for me. Can still use latex equations via Mathjax.

Two points

1. Living with a knife to your throat is also highly dangerous and exciting. I don’t recommend it.
2. The tech can’t be un-invented, but it’s still very much up for discussion wether society puts significant resources into the data centres to run this. Regulations on responsible use are also up for discussion.

It’s not a forgone conclusion by any means.

It’s unhealthy because holding on to stuff like this just poisons you.

Do you know that she was involved in your move, or do you just suspect it? If it’s the latter, has it occured to you you might be wrong?
