Yeah but this also works on a lot of vegan substitutes and staples.

Quinoa is a good example in that its popularity amongst american vegans and health food enjoyer’s (myself included) caused damages to local food supplies in poorer countries. Forcing south american and I think African communities to consume shitty processed flour with little to know access to the same nutrients and proteins of quinoa.

TBH, I don’t know how bad this still is, I haven’t followed it for a while. But the point I think is that the industrial scale food production chain is always going to be questionable ethically.

And if you chose the local only route of going to farmers markets only you’re probably limiting yourself to the point of risking malnutrition on a vegan diet (love my local FM, but they do not have beans in the quantity I eat them) and, based on my interactions with all the Kentucky Farmers I’ve met, you’re probably financially supporting a fascism supporter.

The point of “No ethical consumption” I think has always been that things are very complicated supply chain wise and it will take a LOT of work to beat the system. I believe that was intended to make the people trying feel better when they can’t possibly beat the system. But you’re right, people take it to an extreme and justify not even trying.

There’s a “The Good Place” moment where a guy gets sent to the Bad Place for buying flowers for his dying mom. The joke being that the flowers were harvested by slaves and flown on a plane causing un told pollution (I never actually watched the show, just saw the clip on a meme board at some point). But that’s the consequences of “doing good” under capitalism. We just don’t know how bad it is to do good all the time.

"Yeah we lost all credibility with our fans and people who still play our games are generally seen as uncultured sheep with gambling addictions. And the culture we do have is massively attractive to racists, creeps, and bigots. Were not taken seriously as an exports option.

But boy did we make a fucking KILLING selling Nikki Minaj skins"

All proper names are just old/dead/foreign language for the thing.

Gods, I’m considering Job hopping and I saw Lockheed was hiring for my role, less experience, less certs, full remote, and quadruple my pay.

I had to block them on indeed and LinkedIn. I hated that I was considering it.

One of the guys I went to college with is an amazing programmer and had such a great understanding of C that hes why i got as far into CS as i did, couldn’t get a job after grad because 1) Covid and more importantly 2) he’s insufferable.

He got a job making $100k a year for I wanna say Lockheed because he quote “Wrote good looking code”. That’s all they needed because Tue DoD already told them that the project he was hired for was not going to be adopted, but they were still contracted for minimum 2 more years of development and Lockheed would be in breach of contract if they weren’t making progress even though it was already Dead.

The Military industrial complex is JUST a grift to put tax dollars in private hands.

Well seeing as its invite only still. Probably not yet.

I doubt anything that tightly under the creators control is going to be “soiled” yet

The Wiggles and their love of interacting with punk bands is always fun

Here’s the Wiggles covering The Chats “Pub Feed”

And

Here’s the Chats covering the Wiggles “Can you point your fingers and do the twist”

We alao leave out it was a non-consensual kiss from either party since they were both being mind controlled

In fairness, it is an American show.

Its somewhat justifiable, kinda.

The video attached is hilarious because the human worker is a hundred times more efficient.

We don’t generally fuck cloacas…

Have you ever…

Why do those trees have cloacas

Not really interested until I can use it via api.

The AI bubble hasn’t popped so free tiers for basically any AI is better than Lump which is just running other better models anyways.

In fact if the point is to spite american companies(you should), you should just over use free tier american AIs since it costs them lots of money.

Great read and good points by you.

That’s a fair read and I had kinda come to that thought process. He’s a friend of Trumps and I guess Musk as well. So he’s okay with fascists.

But I do want to point out that in the linked article, he talks about a guy, Franchi, who received support from Communists and presumably the UK while resisting Mussolini but was a monarchist who fell into right wing activities after the war and was charged for plotting a pro monarchy court d’etat.

Much like how I don’t condemn small African anti colonial governments for taking Russian assistance. I don’t immediately view a struggling Small Pro Capitalist state taking USA assistance as inherently condemn able.

I don’t know Milei’s full views, but I struggle to have “guy who’s rounding up all the racial undesirables and occupying cities with troops” on the same level as “guy who thinks letting companies pay in milk is good”. Both are dangerous and bad ideas, but one is much MUCH worse in my opinion.

If I’m missing something, I’m genuinely down to learn more. These are just my concerns with my limited understanding.

I’m so mad at this anime for being so good it broke my rule

Do not get invested until it is finished

Genuine question for an OOTL guy

Is Milei actually a fascist and why?

I just genuinely haven’t kept up with him I knew he was a pretty serious libertarian cut all the government subsidy type, but I didn’t think he was a fascist.

I stopped playing when they crossed over with Dungeons and Dragons then did a Harry Potter knock off set.

It really ruined the vibe for me knowing this was going to be cardboard funkopops

Folks reading way too much into this lol.

reads too much into it

The joke is they died!

Fair enough.

Opening ports to the network seems to “just work” or be hours of forum diving.

What OS where you using?
