It may be costly. It may be ineffective. And maybe I built my plantation in the least fertile place possible. And maybe I don’t know shit about farming. And maybe, possible, having slaves is a constant loss to me and my civilization.

But damnit if I can’t use slavery to justify my racism, how will I feel like a big important man?!

Yeah, it’s kinda dumb.

The + looks more like a Thagomizer anyway

Exactly. You don’t want proof, because proof means you might have been wrong. Being wrong is mentally uncomfortable, and especially in older people who are very mentally rigid, that’s hard.

Stuff like stocking shelves at the supermarket, helping around your parents work.

But yeah, the list is intentionally short.

Those “some conditions” being:

Not on school days.

Not on sundays, except if you didn’t work Saturday and only a dozen per year.

No factory or machine work

No dangerous materials

No register work

No loading/unloading

No delivery work

No late or night work

No loud noises

I feel Russia doesn’t quite hold to the same list of requirements.

I wouldn’t say “solved”. It’s going to take a lifetime of hard work for Russia to solve the problems they created.

But at least it would stop making it worse.

Yeah, it’s goose farming, despite them clearly having numerous geese. This is because english is an absolutely terrible language.

Sure, but you can also spend 15k on a ring. On the other hand, you can also spend 15k on a kitten.

From Europe’s gas station to not even having gas.

It’s probably not true that they’re using AI for this.

Wow, either your pets have been extremely unlucky, or you live somewhere VERY expensive. Considering those are dollars, I can guess it’s a probably at least a bit of the second.

My Dutch vet has a “kitten package” which is 550 euros for spay/neuter, first year of (three rounds of?) vaccines and one seperate checkup. I probably spend something like 500 euros on food/grit per cat. Maybe a bit less, it’s cheaper if you have two. That doesn’t include complications of course, or food/toys.

On the other hand, my wedding ring doesn’t exist because neither of us like rings, so it’s never going to beat that.

You severely underestimate the cost of jewelry. And every cost also multiplies by 400% if you put the word “wedding” in front of it.

We didn’t do rings. I worked in a chemistry lab, husband has a skin issue and wearing a ring would probably mean nonstop doctor visits.

So we just didn’t have rings. It’s really very simple.

I wouldn’t let AI take care of a light switch.

Because they’re too stupid to realize this.

It’s really fucking scary growing up and realizing that _none of the adults ever actually knew what the fuck they’re doing

I feel so bad for all the people discovering this now, instead of separately from the AI bubble.

One of the scariest and most liberating things I found when growing older was that there are no responsible adults, nobody knows what they’re doing all the time, and we’re collectively making it up as we go along.

Ugh, I hope not. We hardly need another one of those

“if return=0, set target_true”

Thats cool! Not only that they adopt chicks (?) but that they’re actually really good at it.

Russia absolutely generates money internally like this. But there’s a limit to how much money you can just print. And they steal a LOT of money from their citizens as well, but there’s also a limit to that.
