I would rather have my subsistence at the whims of the entirety of the country’s economic activity

Ok, how do we organize that in an equitable manner?

Isn’t that more-or-less what a government is supposed to be?

Imagine the good that could have been done if that 100 million had gone to something useful instead of going to lawyers and lobbying.

Your government and mine may be different.

I’d rather have my subsistence at the whims of the government than at the whims of a billionaire business owner.

Why fear that?

People still gotta eat, and unless we can jump directly to a Star Trek post scarcity utopia, people need an income in order to get food.

UBI has been proven to work, but no government has the guts to implement it lest they anger their corporate owners donors.

On the other hand it’s significantly cheaper (and more efficient and less polluting) to ship across the country by rail than it is by truck.

There are a few most years, we (in general) are just paying more attention at the moment.

Football coach turned politician, what do you expect?

You ever have a car cd player that plays files?

It’s pretty common.

My current car can do that (2019 Toyota) with the factory player.

As could every car I have owned in the previous couple decades.

Appeasing the US by allowing their alcohol back on the shelves

Except that we should have learned by now that trying to appease a country who won’t honour their own agreements is pointless.

What guarantees can there be that the US won’t just reneg again after we appease them again?

They should have to demonstrate some level of trustworthiness before we even think about backing down.

understanding, self-awareness, learning, emotional knowledge, reasoning, planning, creativity, critical thinking,

That’s among the things that the current LLM based so-called AI isn’t capable of.

You do realize that we make plenty of our own booze, right?

Thank you.

I chose inanity very specifically.

The issue is most people don’t want correct answers, they want to be told they’re in the right.

Beyond that, they mostly want easy answers.

They all think that they can find a safe seat when the music stops.

The truth is, AI should not stand for Artificial Intelligence

Most of its output that I have seen suggests it should be “artificial inanity”.

Being called nasty by a pedophile

Reminds me of a quote:

“Your boos mean nothing, I’ve seen what you cheer for”

My brother still has out family 's set.

He brings it out when his university friends come over to drink.

Why is this even a story?

Canada (and the rest of the commonwealth) has always used the Queen’s (King’s) English spellings.

It’s only the Americans who are different.

Though they have exported their preference along with their “cultural exports” to the point where some people start adopting it.
