If democrats complete their movement to "ludditism" as a party, I will burn my DNC registration and work with the red team. Good timing since MAGA got spanked and should be on the way out.

I'm sympathetic to DSA types, right up until they call for bans on super intelligence, RSI, or data centers. Remember progressives, it wasn't "socialism" that lost me.

"Without scarcity, nothing is really valuable."

My gosh this mindset and thought is profoundly toxic.

Humans really hate the idea that their fellow man might be able to get some dignity.

It's not enough that we have enough to live well. We must know that others are suffering!

Blue LEDs have been a massive net negative for humanity. Blue light hazard is very real (why blue lasers kill eyesight instantly and green and red often don’t in accidental exposure).

All display technology past CRTs has been a mistake. The vectrex in the 1980s had better refresh rates, color fidelity, beautiful phosphor glow, etc - and we abandoned it for a horrible pixel based future we are now in. We should return to vectors and lasers.

Yes, given that you can route the other models into it this is sadly true.

His son, possibly, maybe. Sisko? Go watch "In the Pale Moonlight"!

Darmok appears to be shockingly uninfluential in the current GenAI NLP/AI community.

Would love to be proven wrong!

I retort in regards to Kira literally all of the excellent mirror universe episodes and the one where they play bond villains in the holodeck with Bashir and Garek the hero's. Kira can play a good foil to herself. I think folks may get exasperated with a lot of the backstory around bajor in the early seasons.

Jadzia I agree is marginally weaker than some of the others, but I do think that a permanent trill character was very good for story writing, plus eye candy, plus relationship with word was okay. At least she was a hell of a lot better than sad replacement character from the last season.

Come to think of it, the OP may have simply seen a few of the last season episodes which get pretty bad.

All of Gen Z wants to look like a mix of 70s rockers and Ron Jeremy. No idea why mullets and the ugliest facial hair are in right now. Must be related to the flared jeans.

What the heck are you on about? Who’s the bad actor here?

They’re all excellent. Is Garek the bad actor? O’Brian? The doctor? Kira? The security chief? Quark?

I claim you’re wrong/delusional if you want to critique the acting in ds9. It has some problems, but acting quality is the high point of Star Trek in ds9 - because at least there’s no Wesley crusher (and yes siskos kid is more compelling than Wesley!)

For anyone somehow in this comment thread who didn’t watch Star Trek ds9, if you liked next gen you will probably like ds9 for all the same reasons (and many new ones)!

Often Picard is compared to Kirk, but I find comparing Picard to sisko to be the much more interesting one.

Picard and Sisko are both excellent, thoughtful, nearly everything you say - and sisko still is quite not happy with Picard given th circumstances of the battle against the borg they fought in together!

High birthrates from backwater groups are canceled out by high technologically embracing groups having increasingly long lifespans.

The singularity happening should imply significantly longer human lives. Some might argue that the first “immortals” are already born.

Unfortunately most of these Gen Z’s (well, the men) are actual incels. As such, the only thing they get to fuck is their hands

These are the same thing often times. Venezuelans made more money bottling GP in RuneScape than they did in their home country working real jobs.

I unironically want this world as soon as possible.

You are absolutely a Luddite. Embrace it, don’t deny your true nature.

Legal IQ tests and nothing else.

This is bunk/nonsense. Despite dentists ostensible having ethical standards, they are literally worse than lawyers on being scammers, charlatans, cranks, etc

Your definition would include Chiropractors as a profession. Such scum of the earth deserves nothing but contempt with extreme prejudice.

Massively overcrowded. Not enough individual bathrooms (I.e for those with shy bladder), terrible food, terrible lounges.

That’s why no one uses it and it sucks.

Of course it’s in Newark airport, possibly tied with ohare for “worst airport in America”

It’s so bad that it single handedly kills the entire reputation of New Jersey, and they deserve it.

No it’s not insane.

Coincides with an EMNLP keynote sharing a tweet saying “big lab people now ignore NeurIPS/iclr/ etc papers and regard them as full of lies”.

Well, AI research outside of frontier labs had a good run. Gonna suck when competing with the other 30% unemployment white collar workers. When you say what work you used to do, some of them may end up trying to be violent towards one who is seen as having worked on the tech that killed the golden goose.

Literally the last man that he’s worried about. AI is the polar opposite of an ubermensch.

Adorno, and especially Hegel began the process of philosophy turning into fashionable nonsense. The young Hegelian’s were united by their hatred of Hegel classes and his philosophy.

Max stirner, who wrote very well and easy to understand, remains obscure compared to these charlatans because philosophers don’t like it when they can understand what someone wrote.

Go look up MERV ratings there’s several in between HEPA and MERV-13. The stuff right below HEPA like MERV-15 gives best of both worlds.

You want at least MERV 15 so that virus sized particles get filtered in meaningful amounts, but yes the guy above you is wrong and choking on dirty air

Yes it is.

You’re in the most corrupt state in the nation. Go look at your state bond ratings. Of course it doesn’t work there!!!

Good!!!

That’s why I live hippie liberal voters!
