Yes it is. And thank you, I hate it here. I hope you find a way out too.

Thanks!

Damn it, I have less than a day! Why did I not ask this sooner?!

Good point! Thank you!

Definitely a joke. I would only have it on my wall for shock value.

I once printed out a picture of the gates in front of Auschwitz and put it on my cubicle wall because my boss was being an asshole. He didn’t get the joke and I didn’t care.

Do people really not like this episode? I thought it was a favorite?

More accurately, Star Trek: Phase II concept art. Not the movie, the sequel TV show they were planning which eventually got turned into The Motion Picture

Obviously that was the post-disposal announcement press conference.

I saw it. I liked the first season a lot more than the second and I thought the third was meh, but I prefer the one with a sense of humor. But Parker Posey was great throughout.

I got to meet Jonathan Harris at a convention not too long before he died. I told him I loved him in Freakazoid, and, in the most Jonathan Harris way, he said, “wasn’t that delightful?”

That’s a real movie.

And it’s fucking hilarious.

I will note that there is no cocaine in Cocaine Shark.

And if you enjoy that, may I recommend Oujia Shark? It was made for CA $500, with much of that going to the shark puppet, for which they paid way too much.

Sadly, the only version available on YouTube right now has Spanish subtitles. Still worth it.

Police say the 2.2 tons of cocaine were taken off the boat and immediately brought to police headquarters. It was announced later that the record 2.1 ton cocaine haul was the record-breaker. Police hope to move the perpetrators smuggling the 2.1 tons of cocaine quickly through the justice system. As for the 2 tons of cocaine? The 1.9 tons will be disposed of properly.

Eh, I’d still have watched it when I was a kid. What else was I going to watch on Sundays, Lost in Space reruns?

Okay, I watched those too, but that’s beside the point!

But in terms of actual information it could be worse thanks to AI hallucinations and poor training materials.

As much as other European colonialists have fucked up Africa over the years, I don’t think any one person can have more blame for that than Leopold II of Belgium. Just ran the place like his own personal genocidal fiefdom.

Insulting me twice in a row will likely not have the effect you wanted because I will neither insult you back nor continue this discussion. I have no interest in Reddit-style insult matches with strangers. Goodbye.

I stopped reading at “you’re clearly a child.” If this is going to devolve into insults, I’m not interested. I’m not surprised you think that is the level of discourse to stoop to, however.

This happened in Peru 100 years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lina_Medina

And in Paraguay, an average of two girls between the ages of 10 and 14 give birth every day: https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2021/nov/30/paraguay-child-teen-pregnancies

That’s how little has changed.

Paraguay’s strict abortion laws – some of the most extreme in the Americas – give child and adolescent abuse victims few options if they become pregnant. Abortion is granted only in very rare cases where the mother’s life is recognised to be in danger.

The limitations would be innate.

That’s not how software works.

Especially if it were tied to renewable resources, there’s a finite amount of resources on the planet even with renewables which can’t be 100% renewable by default.

Until new technology is developed that makes the whole thing significantly cheaper and then the market drops out and since there’s no governing body, the global economy crashes and there’s another Great Depression. Macroeconomics does not seem to be your strong suit.

People work because they have an innate drive to do so.

There are not enough people who have an “innate drive” to do every job that needs doing in a modern society. No one has an “innate drive” to work at a factory because we didn’t evolve to work in factories. People don’t even have any sort of “innate drive” to farm, because we evolved to hunt and gather, two things that generally aren’t necessary anymore.

Look at firefighters and search and rescue for example. Most are volunteer (at least where I am) and they run into burning buildings to rescue people for no money. Or they’re hiking into remote wilderness in awful conditions (deep snow, -20F outside, high winds, miles from civilization, huge cliffs to fall off of and die) to rescue lost skiers and hikers. Hell there’s plenty of rich people who could retire yesterday and live their lives out drinking Mai tais on the beach without a care in the world and yet for some reason they still show up to work, because they want to.

Please do tell me about all of these people who want to be mining things because they find mining so enjoyable.

I doubt people would be doing stupid pointless jobs pushing papers around in circles if they weren’t financially manipulated to do so.

And yet those jobs are also necessary, because things need to be recorded for future reference, so how do you get people to do them if you don’t pay them? Yes, they sound pointless. Anyone who has actually worked those jobs can tell you why those papers are pushed around.

Again, it literally quotes the god of Libertarian economics, Friedrich Hayek.

Graphs without context do not give a good picture of what actually happened. It certainly doesn’t discuss the negative effect Reagan had on the economy or the positive effect Obama had.
