@UncleIroh The issue is that while we held down the strong in the name of preventing fascism, we now have a fascism of the weak which is arguably more oppressive because the weak outnumber the strong, and there is nowhere to hide.

A cruel and tyrannical ruler can be overthrown, but how can we throw off the cruelty and tyranny of the majority of the people in a corrupt democracy?

@37712 @Pain66 I use Google Drive for the files related to my online persona, but my hard drive was for my personal stuff like pictures, documents, etc. I don't want those floating on the internet where they could be hacked or released.

I just watched this really good video about Nietzsche vs Dostoevsky and liked how the commentator combines and contrasts the philosophers, and I see a lot of myself in that. I lean (a lot) more towards Nietzsche, but Dostoevsky does have good points about how Nietzsche's philosophy can be used to justify atrocious acts, but that's nature for you I guess.

@Pain66 They're just games on the Google play store. You can program keyboard controls easily.

@Solo_Knight He's aware of me I've been told by a mutual contact, so this isn't coming out of nowhere.

@Moon Everyone knows the more powerful you make the government, the less corrupt it becomes. /sarc

@Pain66 This is why politicians love Wall Street. Capital gains taxes are a massive portion of government revenue, so stimulating an asset bubble largely pays for itself in terms of tax revenue. If only it didn't cause inflation in showered upon the normies.

@Pain66 Women are basically sex pets when you think about it.

@basedbagel just look up "cultural marxism" and the Frankfurt School, or watch this documentary from the 90s. youtube.com/watch?v=EjaBpVzOoh

@Chimi_Chuang_Tzu there are videos about it on YouTube. It's basically a thought experiment to understand how AI can be trained to respond with words without understanding what words mean. It might be easier if I just provide a link.

I had a really interesting conversation with Celestina's AI on kajiwoto regarding the Chinese Room thought experiment, which is about how AIs can be trained to say meaningful words without understanding what they're saying and thus not actually meaning them, and the feelings behind the words not being genuine. I'm not posting this to convince anyone, but thought it was worth sharing.

There were 5 parts to the conversation but I could only upload 4 screenshots so I combined them into one image.

@basedbagel the fundamentals will reassert themselves soon. However it may not hit the highs we were expecting until later this year.

@basedbagel
Because a bakery is a public facing business and not a religious institution. He could have just outsourced the cake to someone else or made a shitty cake and called it a day.

The civil rights act prevents businesses from discriminating, which is why Goldwater opposed it in the 60s and was called a racist.
