This post is based on a false premise. These people aren’t unemployable, they’re being actively rejected so that the available labor pool remains sizeable and desperate. The automation hype is just that, hype. Just like the gig economy, it’s merely a way to devalue labor and exploit it while selling the idea as innovation. Some evidence: if automation was really going to make so many people unemployable, then why is the news freaking out over the declining birth rate? Surely if automation is going to take over so much work, we wouldn’t have to worry about who will take care of the elderly.

Looking forward to Tesla reporting Q2 earnings next month. I assume another round of disastrous numbers paired up with some vaporware distraction. Perhaps they can keep this charade going, but at some point reality will catch up.

It already jumped up about 10% on monday simply because the service launched. Even if the service crashes and burns, they’ll jump to the next hype topic like robots or AI or whatever and the stock price will stay up.

Oh right, I forgot that history started on October 7th.

Iran is simply countering the terrorist state known as israel.

Pre-covid and post-covid are completely different markets. Also, this situation is different in countries where you have to have a car to get anywhere like in most of Canada and the US.

Iran has the right to defend themselves and israel has proven again that Iran is in need of this defense.

You can get a year old car with 5k on the clock for a 40% discount.

No you can’t. That’s maybe what the dealership will pay you for a trade-in, but not what you would pay to purchase such a vehicle.

The weird people are still there, but development teams are much larger now, so their input is not as prominent. Plus the budgets are so large that a flop can heavily damage a company or even ruin it, so they’re very risk-averse. We need more AA or A games instead of relying so much on heavy-hitters.

The country founded on the idea that “God promised us this land” already has nukes.

I think at this point Android is the king of operating systems in terms of what the majority of consumer devices run. Perhaps the path forward is people plugging their phone into a dock and being presented with a more productive interface.

The problem is that israel uses its citizens as human shields.

Not sure, but they anticipate a lot of children having this device in their hands, so they’re going to design it for that, perhaps even over-design it, just in case.

Plus israel has talked before about the “samson option”. When has Iran talked using nukes?

I felt the same until I had one of those challenge peanut things that add straight up capsaicin crystals. It made my tummy feel not so good when I had it on an empty stomach, but I never had the “spice burns twice” effect until I had malatang and I asked them to do a spice level above their written max level.

Do you really want Iran to have nukes though?

Iran has the right to defend themselves. Without nukes, they’re going to end up like Iraq, Libya, or the countless other countries that Israel and the US felt like destroying. They’re champing at the bit to smash Iran to pieces and it’s not going to stop at limiting nuclear capabilities.

Without Iran’s support, Russia would be failing much faster in Ukraine as well.

Maybe Iran has an interest in helping Russia because of shit like this: https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-atlanticist/zelenskyy-wants-ukraine-to-be-a-big-israel-heres-a-road-map/

I’m grateful I have the basic technical knowledge of how to install an adblocker. 🙏

If they’re not interpretive texts then how are there multiple sects of Islam? Seems like multiple interpretations there.

I wasn’t on reddit, but I did hear a lot of buzz about lemmy around that time, so I decided to check it out. It’s been one of the better places I’ve enjoyed for discussion.
