If only the consequences only applied to the people causing the issue. We’re all in the blast radius. I hope I live long enough to see hope returning. So far it’s just been a constant decline.

you’d think a person posting on leftymemes would understand that the OP is criticising liberals from the left

This is a fair point. It becomes a matter of which questions we’re asking as a society, though. Of course we are not at a stage where capital is the only driving force for science (thank goodness for public funding) but it’s not far fetched that we might be, and a world where questions are only asked in the context of profit generation (and unsatisfying answers are suppressed) is a dystopian world indeed.

It’s fair to say capitalism is having a negative impact on science (e.g. journals) but it’s not as dire as what’s suggested

yeah and it’s not that dissimilar on consoles. 800gb call of duty games on a single disc? plus you need a connection to play most games or even get the necessary patches that make the game playable since everything comes out as trash in the 1.0 version.

I see the appeal and desire for physical media but at this point it’s a charade and more harmful for the environment to boot

Capitalism isn’t just about “things need funding” the point of the meme is that capitalists determine what gets funding. A socialist state might put economic force behind other scientific endeavors, ones driven by capital are intended to create profit. The profit motive drives innovation instead of the pure ideological pursuit of truth or any other driver.

The hypocrisy against Iran in particular is bothersome in that Israel has illegally developed and possesses nukes. That’s Iran’s justification, and it’s validated further with each passing day.

The American world order is falling apart and nuclear weapons are proliferating, we may very well see “tactical” nukes used in combat in my lifetime, and who knows what the response will be.

Meanwhile all anyone says about the decline of USA is “lol it’s weird, they’re so weird.” A future history book, if we’re lucky and have them, will have pictures of memes next to pictures of mushroom clouds.

Where the fuck is everyone

Theology is a fun kind of philosophy to learn about, especially while learning about philosophy more generally. It’s like a philosopher with a loaded gun pointed at their head trying to do philosophy, or just philosophy that works backwards from a conclusion. It’s fascinating how creative the arguments get.

I don’t understand what you mean. I’m suggesting that China could be making a big deal of old news now that they are offering a viable alternative to Intel chips. Possibly to drum up more business globally, or to have an excuse to ban Intel chips domestically.

It could also be to make that threat in the face of increasing trade war escalation from the United States, as a sort of “watch what you’re doing” warning.

Probably just posturing in preparation for trade war escalation or threats around banning Intel chips now that they’re ready to take on those markets. https://www.ft.com/content/5511d73a-1ada-4884-a559-681502300e4f

Since you were so receptive to the first piece of advice it’s also better to do a search like “story of Abraham Bible” and read it yourself than to ask a loaded question. The internet is full of content, loaded questions can get answers that are wrong.

Not sure why lemmy liberals are assuming Harris and Biden are secretly against Israel, it’s going to be a big disappointment for you all if the Democrats win again and nothing changes.

Sulfur is also an element, it’s not made of anything

EDIT: i guess you meant sulfur is dangerous when mixed with water. I thought you meant this forms sulfur.

Yeah when it comes to fascism, climate change denial, failing to meet the basic needs of citizens, and other conservative platforms, I don’t give a shit about their representation

Capitalism wants an uneducated voter base, we can import educated people for jobs

Weird to think that human civilization will collapse out of a misplaced sense of fairness where we think it’s better for uninformed people to have a choice even if that choice dooms us all. Liberalism is going to collapse in the silliest way

This is not only irrelevant but it erases the nature of global contributions to free and open source software.

How many Russians, alone, contributed to these?

imagine putting so much effort into being wrong when that effort could go to learning

what’s it like having other people chew your food for you

what’s the point of this argument even if you’re right? fuck what Israel is actually doing, I don’t care what it’s called. Fuck them

points taken, but what I meant was that they of all people should be able to make the best possible game on their engine. if they were making the game on a new engine it’d be easier to understand if their eyes were bigger than their stomach due to their inexperience
