Wow, it’s been 2 years already? Time flies! Cheers to the leavers

We’re talking about people here. Those are the “resources” we’re talking about. You’re not going to force 50% of the population to physically take care of the other 50%. You can’t force the majority of <60 to work in retirement homes. That isn’t going to work.

And even if there were no rich people, someone working full time will have to pay for their life + that of at least one other person. The burden will not be distributed across 3+ people i.e 3+ people won’t be funding the retirement of 1 old person.

That the 1% is taking too much and leaving too little is undeniable, but please bring up the argument when it is relevant. Yes, they are a major cause of people not having children (things aren’t affordable, they own everything, they control media and politics, etc.), of course. But once the damage is done, the aged population will be an additional problem.

Who’s going to care for the old if 50% are old? Who’s going to fund the care for the old people?

Is the trend for birth rates going up in South Korea?

Exciting! I don’t play DotA, but this sounds like an interesting idea. You might get a good response from the people on Steam. Just post it in the dota 2 discussions. I assume that’s where the majority of them are?

Ok, what if, and hear me out, they are actually doing this to ban plans and force the reintroduction of, wait for it, trains!?

Nah, didn’t think so either.

Over-promising and under-delivering are normal - that goes for both directions. I think it’s undeniable that machine learning / AI has been improving at a steady pace. Sure, the current cycle will reach its peak, but there will be another and another. I don’t believe AGI is a matter of if, more a matter of when. Whatever technology they’re using now is not it, but it may play a part and even if it doesn’t become AGI, it will be one more thing to tick off and explore new roads.

As someone said “this is the worst AI will ever be”. It’ll keep getting better. We just have to be prepared for the next cycle and not be caught off-guard. But knowing humans, we are terrible at long-term planning and preparing. The next cycle will catch the majority with their pants down and we will be scrambling to pull them up while whatever it is was developed changes our world yet again.

I disagree with this as it’s a prejudgement with little to no knowledge about anybody’s roots, circumstances, history, etc. It categorically puts people into boxes and is the flawed reasoning of racists, anti-semites, homophobes, and so on.

For example, Islamic terrorists aren’t born terrorists. Some of them are born into the wrong family and fed hatred all their lives. Some had to live through hardships you and I can’t even begin to imagine surviving. Others are bullied, ostracised, and made feel worthless only to find belonging and recognition in the only group that would listen to them and make them feel seen.

Ask yourself, if you grew up and had to go through the same things as some people, would you still be the you that typed what you typed?

Yes, some people have always been assholes and never changed, they do exist. I’m not denying that.

The US. Believed in the “American Dream”, but the more I learned about the country, the more I grew to dislike it. It’s all a facade.

And I used to have a lot of respect for old people, but that also changed. They are just as flawed as the rest of us.

French people being attached to food, who would’ve thought 🤣 If you had a restaurant overseeing the court, I bet it’d be packed at lunch time.

It’s fine that you feel upset, everyone has emotions. It’s what we do with them that matters. It’s a good thing you asked here and that the responses mostly aren’t hurtful.

If you don’t feel like you can talk to your girlfriend about it, I invite you to go to a mosque and try to get to know a few Muslims. Or if you have Muslim friends, try to talk to them about relationships and about women dating. Also, if you do want to talk to your girlfriend about it, try to be the listener. Do not push back, try to be understanding, give a space where she feels comfortable to go into the details. Just don’t pressure her.

This is a good relationship to discover how you deal with discomfort regarding the issue of acceptance by others. It will give you an opportunity to practice. You might handle it well, take the advice you got from here and apply it successfully. You might also end up without a girlfriend, but that’s all part of the journey. You’ll get to know yourself better.

Good luck.

Are you planning on leaving the country?

If your joke might be offensive to anyone, its probably best to save it for outside of the workplace if you share it at all.

That’s not good advice. Any joke can be offensive to someone - especially when people are committed to being offended.

Hmmm… that’s nominally better. Which user would respond to a PII request from an admin? I for sure wouldn’t. Would you? And servers could run their own bots too, no need to pretend on a browser.

But I do agree that with control of admin and choice who to federate with, it is possible to reduce the number of bots. Eliminating them is not possible, IMO. I’d be surprised if there’s any defence against a bot that can control a browser and maybe even go as far as pretend to use a mouse.

Interesting, I’ve been in a relationship with a literal MILF, but I wouldn’t know how to recognize the non-literal thing.

That you learned a new language is pretty cool. Could you speak it before going to China?

If I understood it correctly, what you’re doing is illegal. Is there a danger that you go to jail or is your partner the one in danger?

TIL I’m mature, but not hot 😭

(Honestly thought “mature” was for 60+)

Oops. Reverse question then. Why can we observe it on lemmy? How can we do that? Can’t bots operate web browsers? How would they be detectable?

Why can’t we observe it on lemmy?

MILF in terms of looks or also in terms of actions?

Wait, childfree MILF? How would that work?

Also, would you still want to be in China? How’s your Chinese Mandarin?

Where do you see yourself when you’re 40F?
