Workplace injuries and work related disability will plummet if we can replace laborious work with robots.

Is using any technology that is invented first in the west considered tailism, or only LLMs?

I don’t understand how it is praising capitalism to see use in technology created out of a capitalist mode of production.

Can China start using a much cheaper, open source LLM to legitimately improve all aspects of their life and build towards socialism at a faster pace?

I know there is a lot of hate for LLMs coming out of capitalist nations, for a lot of good reasons, but I’m happy to see a counter experiment being run in China of how these things can be utilized positively when profit motive is largely taken out of the equation.

Let’s not pretend that a criminal trespassing during an important sports event to waive a Palestine flag around is anything like the brave Hong Kong protesters who waived Trump, Ted Cruz, and English monarchy’s flags around in the name of democracy.

when all the Nazi libs in other instances lie about hexbear being evil, this is what they are talking about.

Next time someone asks about hexbear, this absolute clown is going to chime in and say “one time they were defending ISIS! I saw it myself!”

And no one they say that to will go check the post and see that it was indeed the Nazi lib justifying putting women and children in prison for being in proximity to ISIS members. They will believe the Nazi lib and never go to see that hexbear is against imprisoning children and women and it is indeed the Nazi libs from other instances who believe concentration camps are good, actually.

Epoch times was a big trump supporting outlet, which means tax payers were effectively funding promotion for Trump even under democratic leadership

I always heard the red guard threw him out the window

Aww, that’s 300 more than we wanted.

Got to start somewhere I guess

Ooof what a long form way to admit to being a racist PoS. Such a poorly written and badly argued position, I’m genuinely surprised this person sees themselves as a leftist

This guy ran distilled water in a closed system for 24 hours and tested it with 0 PFAS, put an arcteryx jacket and ran it for another 24 hours. The results were PFOA: .65 ppt PFBA: 21 ppt

He also tested his blood which was around 1000 ppt of PFOA, and apparently that is below the national average of around 4000 ppt.

Pretty terrible situation, but I guess all we can do is try to limit it in the ways that we have control over. I wonder if the effort it takes to do this is truly worth it, but there’s literally no way to know so I’ll take my chances trying to avoid it as best as possible.

Thanks for the honest answer. Yeah it’s very difficult. I’ve managed to cut out a lot of plastics and want to prioritize it due to the long term health risks, but there is no way to do it completely. I figure clothes and other textiles are probably the most common plastic we come into contact with daily, and they are designed in a way that sheds and gets everywhere. I watched a video recently of a guy putting a new goretex rain jacket under a showerhead and then testing the water that collected at the bottom. The PFAS were incredibly high. If you can stop having plastic constantly on your body all day every day, it surely goes a long way to limiting ingestion. Luckily I mostly can achieve that with cotton and linen, just the winter/rainy clothes which are the hardest.

I’m not on that social media site but please tell me she is getting roasted in the comments.

My main question is around textiles.

We have replaced all our synthetic fibers in our house to limit exposure to PFAS and microplastics. Pretty much all non-animal outdoor wear I have seen is synthetic.

For the cold and wet months, what are some vegan alternatives that aren’t replaced by plastic?

I don’t think layering cotton is enough to safely protect from the elements, and wool is the most common natural fiber that seems to be available.

Yes, you could be correct about that. It is a very common way liberals backwards solve for their preconceived opinions. This is the danger of idealism, if I assume the idea I already believe in has to be true, any evidence to the contrary must be fake and evil and therefore the easiest to reject without investigation. You must be a sociopathic con artist to believe in “authoritarianism” but also be nice and have reasonable takes. Certainly can’t be me, I believe in the good idea

I wonder if it’s because you are one of the only users here that goes out of their way to try and explain things to libs without being confrontational. Don’t be deterred by the haters, that’s what they want

I got locked out of my antifa.com account, just wondering if you can help post it there for me

I don’t know, the chainsaw and cosplaying seems pretty original to me!

Commented on another post today about USAID and how they were on the right side of apartheid purely because if they weren’t it would look so bad and weaken their position to interfere.

I think what would be more accurate is to say that studying Marx (or any theorists) alone doesn’t give one the willpower to truly commit to being a communist. This helps explain the issue in the western left as a labor aristocracy with an understanding of class dynamics. There are many well read people who can emulate the aesthetics, language, and cultural relics of communism history but when push comes to shove, they aren’t truly committed to destroying the system they benefit from.

Poverty and oppression alone obviously doesn’t produce Communist thought, if it did we would already be living under Communism.

Good to see Omar standing up to protect the organization that seek to destroy Palestine’s allies in the region. Really shows her commitment to the Palestinian struggle and of all Muslims under threat in West Asia
