STP put it well, real revolutionaries don’t go around talking about revolution, they meet quietly in small groups in private places. Anyone actually planning to go up against their government isn’t going to blab about it.

Unfortunately anything capable of interstellar travel is beyond anything earth can offer, even as a place to live. The only truly unique things we have are our biosphere and culture, both of which can be sampled covertly.

Its worth remembering that EU fines are not one and done, if you don’t fix the problem they fine you repeatedly.

Do I get a magical garauntee that it would happen? Because otherwise no given the state of governance; they would absoloutely raise taxes then talk about making trains free until everyones forgotten and then maybe make trains cheaper for a specific age group for a while with that reduction being completely eaten by ticket price rises within 2 years.

So the takeaway is that violent protest is 100x more legal than peaceful protest right?

Considering the right wing seems to have completely stopped talking about it (and nancy pelosis wrong person I think, the puppy shooting person(s) tweet) I can only assume he was a republican for them to all shut up all of a sudden.

Well jokes on them because I frequently think about things that I then struggle to articulate and its very frustrating! Though more seriously I wouldn’t say language is a hard limit because otherwise we would never need to come up with new words in the first place.

To be fair fusion energy got less than the minnimum ‘fusion never’ funding, AI on the other hand is getting all the money in the damn world.

I got some cherry wood and linseed oil laying around as well as access to lathe, could make a real nice stick.

To be fair if people had been coming into my country and blowing shit up and murdering people then settling on the land for the last 50 years both myself AND my parents would have known pretty much nothing else and I’d be pretty likely to view them with nothing but rather coherant hatred.

To be fair the pilgrims were offered sanctuary in other countries first and then got mad that everyone wasn’t exactly like them. That said a lot of the other initial colonizers were people being outright evicted from their home countries for non-religious reasons.

Gotta love being in the ‘The president from idiocracy is more qualified than many world leaders’ timeline.

To my undertstanding it invokes a particular steriotype of a bunch of white people living trashily in a trailer park, usually while thinking they’re better than everyone else.

I feel like LLMs didn’t hit a deadend so much as people started trying to use them in completely inappropriate applications.

Agreed, a lot of sci-fi infastructure is technically feasable its just the logistics and our lack of organisation as a species that gets in the way. We could also technically start on a dyson swarm and a lunar space elevator (not an earth one though) with modern technology and materials.

To be fair in the US you have 2 realistic options and OPs description applies to both… unfortunately the case in a few places right now.

Just accelerate the entire universe evenly, nothing gains kinetic energy relative to anything else, the change is undetectable and the energy used to accelerate everything is so iretrivable you can’t even prove it ever existed.

I look forward to Putin dying in agony as his body finally rejects itself entierly due to numerous transplants compounded with horrific co-infections due to all the imuno supressants he’d have to be after going throguh that many transplants. Guy is basically asking to be eaten alive by his own immune system.

10 Mbps is like average Scotland internet unless you’re in a major city.

While pay has also functionally gone down.
