Mainstream news won’t stop talking about the wealthy in the Pallasides
While firefighters were concentrated there, regular Americans in other areas never saw firefighters until a few rolled down their streets where everything was already burnt to the ground.
It’s fucking insane celebrities are begging for their own areas and no one is talking about what happened here.
Like 30 seconds into the phone call she flat out says they’re taking control remotely.
He just keeps talking nonsense to try and make it take longer for the video. Probably wasn’t even going to the airport lol.
Dude’s whole job is this stupid shit and convincing people he’s a big enough deal they should pay him to talk to them
No, they do.
Precipitate pollution from coal use in India and China is making it to the northern glaciars.
It doesn’t need to be a lot, a small speck on a glacier can “snowball” into a substantial melt because black soot gets hotter than white snow.
When soot settles on snow in large enough quantities, it creates a dark, heat-absorbent film on the otherwise reflective white surface of the snow. This causes the surface to absorb significantly more heat than it otherwise would, which eventually thins the snow down to the glacial ice that sits below the surface layer, causing further retreat.
It’s not like the soot has to blanket it, especially when they’re already melting.
And zero moderation!
It’s basically 4chan and OP keeps begging people to join it
Barely made it thru the video, the guy was so annoying I had to look him up:
Like, yeah it would suck, but it had probably been happening for 2 minutes and he wants them to pay for his flight already.
Just saying “watts staying underground” is a poor explanation
Which is why I clarified for someone what someone else likely meant…
I’m not sure what you’re doing here, do you want me to go complain to the person who first used that phrasing on your behalf?
Participate pollution melts glaciers which increases the temperature long after it fucks shit up by trapping heat in the atmosphere and blocking photosynthesis.
But that’s fine, I see what OP was going for.
Weird choice to downvote the person who helped you understand, but you do you I guess.
It’s definitely convinced me not to spend anytime helping you in the future though. So maybe don’t be like this to the next person, Lemmy is small and there’s only so many people to help you, eventually you’ll run out.
This?
if you use a watt of sunlight to power your phone instead of a watt of energy you got from burning coal, this watt of energy instead stays below earth and therefore doesn’t heat up the planet.
The “watt of energy” is a watt from the coal… And they’re saying to leave the coal buried and sequestered.
I assumed that was understood, so I explained how burning coal heats up the planet…
You may have not realized what you highlighted had to do with fossil fuels, but that’s just because you didn’t understand.
Which is fine, you did the right thing and asked questions.
Fossil fuels are carbon.
That carbon was sequestered from the atmosphere millions of years ago.
Burning fossil fuels releases that carbon into the atmosphere, which then makes the earth hotter
Think of oil as dead dinosaurs and coal as dead trees, that’s basically what it is.
All that stuff was taken out of circulation over an insanely long timeline, and now on a very short timeline we’re digging it up and putting it back into circulation. So fast that species can’t adapt to the change and die out before they can evolve.
Apply…
Worst case scenario it’s the same result as not applying, so why not apply?
We could be coming out of Bernie’s second term right now…
Never forget what the neo liberal wing stole from America by corrupting the DNC.
But if we really get a good chair on 2/2, you’d have to be an idiot to hold them accountable for the last 30 years of neoliberal leadership
The American government sends the Cuban government a check every year for the “rent”.
Unless something has changed, Cuba has never cashed a rent check, because they don’t want an American base.
It’s incredibly fucked up, but it’s the only A&W combination Taco Bell in Cuba
it’s not just pure numerical IQ,
We talk about IQ like it’s a single number, but it’s like SAT/ACT, a bunch of different specific scores averaged into one number. So yeah it’s not as simple as a single number. I was thinking mostly processing speed and associative memory, but obviously you need the general knowledge as well.
The more variety of life you experience, the more you know of human history, different cultures, ways of thinking and seeing the world - the harder it is for you to get impressed by something as shallow as AI.
This is a very specific and easily fixable problem. It’s trained by a certain class of people, so it’s going to regurgitate stuff from that class and ignore everyone who hadn’t trained it.
Tech bros live in a bubble of their own creation and don’t understand the true richness of the human condition.
Nobody is gonna argue with that tho
Everyone’s frame of reference is their own IQ…
So for some people AI seems as smart as their frame of reference, or even better.
They assume their frame of reference is everyone’s, so we’re in that weird period where dumb people are super excited about AI, and smart people still think it’s a gimmick.
Those people who find AI impressive, see it as a means to level the playing field, and it will eventually.
It just means the smarter you are, the longer it’s going to take to be impressive. Because your frame of reference is just a higher standard.
They’d never be as creative as a creative person, so to them it’s switching from relying on a person they have no control over or influence on, to a computer program that will do whatever is asked. To them it generates the same quality as a person, don’t forget the most popular media caters to the lowest common denominator, this is the same thing.
Like, it makes sense from their perspective. You just need to realize everyone has a different perspective.
It’s human variation
Military service is also the single strongest individual predictor of becoming a “mass casualty offender,” far outpacing mental health issues,
Far out pacing diagnosised mental health issues…
I found out a friend had been talking to medical about suicidal thoughts for a month, but he didn’t tell anyone else. One day he told medical he bought a shotgun, they told him to wait two weeks and then to tell them if he was still thinking about.
Because seeing a shrink would have taken him out of training, and if that happens too much it made the program look bad.
Luckily he told me and some others, we took his gun and another buddy started staying on his couch for the next couple months.
But if he had had shot up somewhere, he’d have had “no mental illness” because the military hides how common it is for lots of different reasons.
That wasn’t rare either, SAD was the acronym for “suicidal and depressed” but no matter what, you weren’t pulled from training till you attempted. And it wasnt just the training, we had a guard blow his brains out at the flag pole, and they just hosed it down and moved the body. They didn’t tell students till we left because it would have been a “distraction”.
So, long story short, we know what the problem is, and how to fix it. It’s even relatively easy.
But recognizing this is an issue would result in a huge reduction of our most highly trained military members, because that’s where it’s most likely to be ignored until the last possible second.
If we get fucked in the DNC chair election, a third option progressive party has never been set up to succeed like this before where the majority of both party bases hate their own party leaders.
If a big name heads it they have a real chance, because the media won’t be able to stop talking about it.
They won’t say nice things, but most voters also hate billionaire owned media these days too.
Holding hands is hard wired in us, it makes us feel secure on an instinctual level.
When someone prays alone, they hold their own hands and our brains are dumb enough to not know the difference.
When done with a group and you hold each other, it promotes group bonding as well.
It’s like when they have you shake hands or hug your neighbor to begin with, it’s the same psychological reaction as smiling because smiling makes you happy.
You’re tricking your brain into thinking everything is fine and you’re safe by going thru the motions.
It’s much older than any religion that exists today, it’s older than hominds.
He’s explicitly allowing bigotry and hate speech…
You don’t need to warn anyone, they’ll see it soon enough if not already.
Just tell them you’ve had enough, and you’re leaving for _______ alternative if others are also thinking of leaving.
Then leave, there’s zero reason to still be there.
