The framework for an authoritarian tech surveillance state is in our pockets.

Probably hair loss and dick pills.

Remove one Turk from the service or remove the entire service from Turkey?

Essentially the question Bluesky executives had to make here.

Dude it’s real life Mario kart. I’m down.

Yeah any global company with 10s of thousands of employees is bound to have ex-IDF

They yearn for the German federation of the 1850s.

As far as I’m concerned, we’re atoms that understand we’re atoms. That’s the universe witnessing itself.

Basically sums up how I see the world lol.

Yup, I deleted all of mine. Trash company.

Instagram reels have made it impossible for me to tell when people are joking haha. No matter how ridiculous the position, someone on there will have it.

Something tells me Meta and Amazon won’t take kindly to any unionization.

Art can be flawed. Programming is an exact set of instructions for a computer to comprehend in the most literal sense. There isn’t nearly as much room for errors. A hallucination during image generation won’t cause any damage. A hallucination regarding those very specific instructions can cause problems.

Great questions.

These are the sort of questions that make talking about religion so difficult because everyone believes different things even though they think they’re talking about the same thing.

It could be possible that some believe the universe is a container for all things while others believe it is all things.

Yeah you are correct. Doesn’t have much to do with God though.

We can weigh all of those gases. We can also blow them up. We can also look at emissions spectrums. There’s a lot of ways to test gases. That’s why we know they exist.

As for Ukraine… People have been there. There are pictures and videos. Thousands of years of history.

I’m not sure if you’re joking or not because I’ve seen people with similar arguments.

“I don’t think anyone needs any convincing that churches lie to and scam people on a daily basis for personal gain.”

And yet televangelists exist. Megachurches exist. Churches have been scamming Christs sheep for millennia all for them to be none the wiser.
