I had high hopes that nuance would be easier to maintain on Lemmy for years. But… no.

Which I do feel is glossed over. Europe knew it was coming. Putin is cashing in his influence to make it one more day.

How much will it hurt Ukraine? We can only find out.

I don’t hate Russians because of Putin. I don’t hate Isrealis because of Netanyahu.

I hate Putin. I hate Netanyahu. I hate Trump. I hate Xi Jinping. I hate Lukenshenko. I hate Kim Jong Un. Dictators.

I do hate people that believe they have superiority over anyone.

Bro, every time I try to mention nuance on the internet, I’m immediately the bad guy.

Like I’m autistic as fuck, so I can be pretty rigid in the way I think, so I get, like, why people can be that way.

But like on the internet its like half of everyone is just borderline personality about everything. Like it’s fun to split people or some shit. Which hurts me to say, because BPD is… complex shit itself.

While we can be wishful, conservatives will always exist, and it would be better to prevent them from doing more damage.

It would, however require constitutional amendments that would essentially neuter the Unitary Theory of the Executive.

1. In my head, it would give each branch of government it’s own physical law enforcement.

2. And money generated or excess received by the branches must still be appropriated by Congress without exception.

3. the electoral college should be ended and ranked choice become required.

4. Undo citizens united

5. Do something to get people with actual brains running for office. No idea how to do this one though.

I keep getting “They Live” vibes from this administration and it keeps getting more and more unsettling as time passes.

They aren’t going to get to a population of 100,000,000 by being pro-life, that’s for sure.

Bro

Thats fucking wild

Man. I’ll tell you, looking around the desktop training hardware that nVidia now sells, they better fear that their business models are toast.

If nVidia walks away from all this stupid wealthy, fine. The hardware we can give each engineer is worth it.

Edit: For late arrivals to this if you’re curious why someone anti-LLM could be happy with this - its because the hardware is model agnostic. Whatever data and training algorithm you give it, it will be able to work with it. That expands the domain beyond signal generation (what Generative AI does) and gives engineers the ability to feed data intensive problems to it that we have long desired to make sense of.

Errrr… who do you think I’m referring to as authoritarians? It’s certainly not socialists or anarchists.

They even took my lunesta away from me :(

Do doctors even prescribe benzos outside of like super short term use, anti-seizure medication or procedures?

The most successful ones are stimulants yes. But methamphetamine is neurotoxic, and seldomly perscribed (though remains an option for reasons unbeknownst to me). The stimulants Methylphenidate ADHD Amphetamine salts are neuroprotective. But there’s also non-stimulants like amoxitine, guanfacine, clonidine, and bupropion, which are not neurotoxic.

Undoubtedly. I mean normal people don’t worry about being assassinated so much that they try to control the entire population.

Interestingly they havent caught up to this comment yet. Older posts are getting attention, particularly any time I mention authoritarians in a negative way.

They’re authoritarians? That’s not a political disagreement, thats a human rights issue?

Edit: I’m sorry to whoever is offended by this, but having the political stance that anyone else has no say isn’t a political stance, its a problem.

Believe it? No. I mean, its really just phallic humor. Being authoritarian comes from a place of anxiety though, that I believe. Obviously correlation doesn’t equal causation, but every authoritarian ruler in history has been anxious about being removed from power.

Which… clearly makes sense, because they aren’t immortal and doubling down on your oppression only works so many times.

?

I didn’t say they should be, I said they probably are.

Like, we know authoritarians are inherently a detriment to society. I don’t think there is a single example in history where people benefited from authoritarian rule equitably to the ruler. Clearly cognitive dissonance is required to support authoritarians, and cognitive dissonance is a defense mechanism commonly found in anxious disorders. Projection is another one.

Given the focus authoritarians have of defining masculinity on things that have little benefit to any gender, they are projecting insecurity about their own masculinity, and performing all sorts of mental gymnastics to avoid the remaining anxiety.

Mix in a little of phallic humor that has at least existed since ancient times, and one can come up with the idea that they simply are insecure of their penis size.

But I was told that the Kremlin invaded to protect democracy and save the ethnic Russians from Nazis! And that anything otherwise is Russia being a victim of western propaganda and policies! (/s)

What a fucking disgusting regime Putin runs.

Physics used Angular momentum!

It’s super effective!
