Physicists abhor a black box. So long as it is an option, most will choose not to use AI to any great extent, and will chastise those who do.

Yeah, imagine if the air brakes failed on a transport truck and instead of them defaulting to on, they no longer worked…

Or if your Anti-lock braking system defaulted to no brakes instead of brakes without Anti-lock

Or if the power goes out an elevator just falls to the ground

Or if…

Fyi, your seatbelt buckle should be able to smash a window in an emergency

Much more likely to be because their wages will be less artificially inflated once the number of doctors increases. Its the same in Canada. We limit the number of seats, rather than admitting all those who qualify to be doctors, and we have need for.

Gotta love bringing everything into the market…

So the real news is someone thinks they have discovered how to extract rent from you taking photos?

I could see maybe getting it implemented outside the federal level, but in all honesty the slow change in culture that would develop from a new voting method wouldn’t be nearly enough to make the gigantic changes required, even if we are talking about keeping America capitalist.

If there were larger organizing efforts, much like that required to get ranked choice implemented, which had ranked choice as one of the demands, then yeah I could see big changes happen.

Fewer and fewer all the time, western propaganda regurgitater. China has been cracking down on the leeches (Billionaires) in their country.

You see, we do our horrendous acts of imperialism in the name of capital elsewhere, and then we are 100% ignorant of the fact. It works out great!

I don’t know, but my gut says better propaganda

This is the real answer. When we are stressed, depressed, anxious, and feeling hopeless, we can either turn inwards and retreat from society, or we can lean into our friends, family, and community.

If you have no community, now is the time to build it. A lot of liberals will be desperate, and that means it’s a great time to shake off the lies of individualism (we are all individuals part of a community) and develop the truth of community. Otherwise this cycle will continue the way it always has.

Ohh 100%, but this is an American election thread so I wanted to keep it firmly within the realm of utopianism.

I want Ukraine to negotiate with Russia, and form an agreement that ends the hostility and has Ukraine joining BRICS. It would give me a good chuckle

I’m speaking

Edit: I’ve felt dirty since commenting this, so I have to say this was a joke otherwise I’ll keep feeling gross from the cringe

Maybe if they spent more time in reality and less time celebrating in a state of cult-like Euphoria, they would have seen this coming

You mean when the Soviets wanted to put missiles close to the USA to stop the American Invasions of Cuba that kept failing, and let the Americans know what it felt like to have nukes pointed their way, and the Americans have been butt hurt ever since?

Yeah, I wanted to be specific lol

Last night I watched an “election special” episode of This Hour Has 22 Minutes (a Canadian political comedy, I think it’s the only one).

2 things:

Do “democratic voters” not see anything wrong with the “democracy ends if Trump is voted in!” line? Like, if a candidate/party/etc. is so bad that it could spell the end to your country, and your electoral system allows those sorts of politicians to not only have a platform but a real shot at power, shouldn’t you be concerned that the people you are voting for have done nothing to bolster your democratic institutions? How is it so hard to see that saying “he’s the literal devil and must be stopped!”, while doing nothing to protect “democracy” is just political theater and you are being played for fools who must choose which cult to be a part of?

Thing 2:

OMG THINGS ARE SO MUCH WORSE THAN I THOUGHT I know a comedy show cherry picks photos and videos, but do Americans not realize that the cult of personality surrounding two politicians IS NOT NORMAL!? It gives me the same kind of ick I felt when I was a teen visiting a friend’s Pentecostal church, everyone started speaking in tongues as we surrounded the altar (or whatever it’s called) and some middle aged white man put is hand on my shoulder from behind and started praying or chanting or something.

I’m usually psychologically resilient when it comes to Capitalism and empire because I have developed some level of understanding. But the crazy cult gatherings I saw… That gave me feelings of dread and sadness I haven’t experienced in a long time.

On the plus side it did help me see just how far along the empire is towards its collapse into irrelevance… But why do they have nukes? Like damn…

I hope y’all in the usa have a pleasant day, find new comrades to organize with, and experience health, happiness, and safety.

You can easily fascinate a woman with cheese

So the RCMP (Canadian federal police who love to harass and destroy the lives of Indigenous communities) intend to use social media to basically trap “extremists” in Canada. That might be cool if there were some kind of criteria and accountability to communities. But with the “victims” of Communism memorial and what not, it will definitely be used to beat down protestors trying to stop pipelines etc., and protect the ruling class from any workers movement.

Plus we have a wet noodle fascist that will likely be prime minister next time around so… Yeah

Probably one of the many other fascists
