Those “people” are not inside though, they built or exploited the whole railway and happily fly in their own jets, while keeping passangers as hostages and tying as many strangers to rails as they can.
There are people inside too, though. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t, damned even if trying to sidestep. Paraphrasing, it’s just another trolley.
Rhetorical: Omg again? With same exact picture? In not really political comm?

Go and vote in primaries for candidates you want, so maybe you get someone decent (so “no matter who” part is eliminated), apply pressure to them right now. Until you have enough power and support to create new party from scratch (and have it catch third of population instantly somehow, including republicans) or overthrow current system altogether, you have to work within it.
Also: in famous thought experiment, named Trolley problem, do you call yourself murderer (genocider) if you decide to push the lever?
I myself had different and conflicted opinions during those years, arguments for voting blue and third party (or abstaining) both look quite convincing, at least for not well versed in politics me. Ugh.
Looking forward to mod award on this post.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Humans' behavior about LLMs is the same as animals with a mirror: they believe there is "another" in there. It's just their reflexion
2·il y a 15 joursContinuing on “there’s not something there”, what about theater analogy to llm’s? Usually people know it’s all act, but if actors play too good, you immerse. And it’s focus is not the truth, it tells the story.
Funny thing, adding water to the Sun will only make it hotter because of added mass and hydrogen IIRC. At some point it may go supernova or black hole routes, idk if you’d consider any of those “extinguished”.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•In the future, it will be considered unbelievable that repairing a product used to be more expensive than buying a new one
5·il y a 26 joursMaybe, if for some reason we stop manufacturing things with complex shapes via injection molding (which is, like, super cheap on big scale) or similar processes, and come back to “constructing them from a lot of generic parts, preferably easily recycleable”. Also semiconductor components (actual microcontrollers, or displays, and in some cases whole boards if they are tiny enough, because of how many effort they require) are not really repairable, you just replace broken components.
Edit: Also whole economy of scale go against this. Repairing stuff (now) is usually about individual products, hard to automate, and requires skill, also means complex logistics. Manufacturing tons of the same stuff cheapens over time, required less skill for each individual part or product and in general is highly automated.
It detects when you are in heat, and turns on.

1·il y a 2 moisWdym? I run Ubuntu with KDE and there certainly is cursor customization. You can choose one of defaults or download any cursor you want externally.
I just jam local power station’s turbine with random steel rods.
Nah, there is better method: just induce false vacuum decay.

4·il y a 2 moisYeah, I’ve seen most of these words before. Kinda incomprehensible. Was your shower some surreal mixer? Was this supposed to be posted to shitpost community instead? Where this ¹ is supposed to lead?




Depends on what is defined as “success”. If it’s somewhere within “owning as much wealth as possible”, then yeah.
