But then who will have a meeting and capture the action item to have another meeting afterwards?!

Being a complete POS: so easy a caveman can do it

They always say “we have a few bad apples” and never acknowledge the complete expression “bad apples” comes from, which is “a few bad apples spoil the bunch”. I think the full expression makes the analogy correct.

A state monopoly on violence is not a terrible idea and needs to be enforced somehow.

Maybe it’s pedantic of me to say this but there was not a state monopoly on violence in the past and there certainly isn’t now. A lot of goon squads are composed of private security forces.

Laws aren’t auto-enforcing magic. Any time that fossil fuel companies violate this stupid law (written for purely performative reasons) it simply wouldn’t be enforced.

Similarly, if the law allows for civil action, a multitude of reasons would be conjured on demand explaining why the lawsuit couldn’t move forward against fossil fuel companies. If it managed to move through district courts, it would simply wind up on the supreme court docket and they would again conjure up some reasons why the suit was invalid.

What does any of this have to do with anything anyway?

Humans invented the first human language. People have ideas that aren’t simple derivatives of other ideas.

Good

The oligarchs just didn’t have enough choice with the two they already own.

Cuz it sucks and it’s worth all of the zero dollars it costs. 😆👍

💯 believe every bit of this

I work in that myself, which allows me to be a step or two removed from being a complete piece of shit, but still pretty close to the shitscape.

Also, in that field, being an asshole without empathy gets you further up the org chart than being smart or good at your job, so my point stands.

What’s the “right career”?

Protect the dolls

I now hate income tax because it’s just giving a handout to billionaires (and military contractors, but I repeat myself).

A big ol pile of shit.

Yup and add intelligence to the list as well. Smart means nothing if you can’t back it up with being an amoral pile of shit that takes advantage of people every opportunity you get.

Are you saying human languages are a derivative of bird language or something? If so, I’d like to see the proof of that.

That’s fine but regular art isn’t 2/3 theft either.

I do buy the 1/3 shite though. It may even be a bit higher than that. Though beauty is in the eye of the beholder, etc.

It’s a matter of taste for sure but I’d say AI art is >90% shite, 100% theft.

I don’t like the glossy looking hyperreal shit it puts out at all.

I enjoy lots of great art! But do you think I watch every film? Listen to every band? There’s tons of shit out there!

You said regular art is 1/3 shite and 2/3 theft. Maybe math isn’t your strong suit but that’s 3/3 which is 100% so by claiming regular art is the same you’re saying all art is either theft or shite.

It uh, it isn’t.
