Or, you know, you’d end up dead on your doorstep for trying to invoke your 2nd amendment to the fucking cops. That’s a good way to end up getting a Darwin award.

I meant to get a similar amount of protein you need to consume more vegan food, especially calorie rich ones, most restaurants that I’ve seen when they have comparable items the vegan one had way more calories.

Sure, but optimizing for protein isn’t the best methodology. I guess if you’re determined to max protein, meat is a better source. But if you want a better and more rounded diet, especially one low in saturated fats and high in fiber, the vegetarian (or even reduced meat) pathway is much better. Doubly so if you’re concerned about heart disease, colon cancer, or any of the side effects of eating too much protein.

Pretty sure people have done the maths and to approach the levels of efficiency that say meat has you’d be consuming a lot more calories.

What does meat’s “efficiency” have to do with anything related to caloric intake? If I consume 1000 calories of meat or 1000 calories of vegetables, I’ve still consumed 1000 calories. I can only assume you mean I would have to eat a larger quantity of vegetables get the same amount of calories, and that’s not the argument you think it is when people by and large consume too many calories and don’t get enough micronutrients as it is.

but your quality of life will be worse, so yes I count that as those meat products being necessary, in spite of the environmental damage

I’m not even a full vegetarian, but even I know this is just self justification for what you want to do. One of my partners is a vegetarian, and I cut back on like 80-90% of my meat intake and my quality of life (like energy and general physical/mental wellbeing) is the same or better than it was a few years ago.

The only good points you made was about food waste and lab meat, the rest is just cope.

Except you don’t need to eat meat, you’re just justifying the destruction you like. That’s not to say that AI is anything close to as relevant as food, but the point still stands, meat production is destructive to the environment.

I’m constantly amazed that people think telegram is secure.

Almost 110 years minimum (at least for the British), 1917

Go back another 20ish years and we were still tapping electronic comms, the Zimmerman Telegram was WW1

Telegrams between North America and Europe ran over a single pathway, which ran through England. The British tapped that cable and were spying on German (and everyone else’s) communications sent through them, which is why Germany had to encode their messages to Mexico asking them to join in WW1 to get Texas back.

Lying to yourself is a really good start, followed closely by not buying food or services like internet

Could you imagine being spied on in your own car?? Good thing my car from 2016 with OnStar totally isn’t spying on me!!1!

Point is: pour more money into training machines to imitate all the things we don’t actually understand the complexity of, and surely we’ll no longer need those people when we finally escape to a better future where our serfs don’t need such petty things as rights and payment. And if you help us get that, you just might get a ride on our escape too!

All I’m hearing is “let’s build the OceanSpaceGate station and fill it with all the billionaires” and I’m struggling to see a downside.

Hell, if you’re friends with him, you can apparently huck a baby in a lake

It’s easy to see why they allow it

No, but we can execute a corporation like we would a human.

But that would require a government that wasn’t constantly on its knees in front of the oligarchs with their mouth open.

Can’t wait for ol’ Jimbo to come by with his hand out this year, "Please dear reader, won’t you give us money to abuse our employees?’

But I thought we were going to get lower prices? /s

At least you understand your original point was bullshit.

but if two self driving transportation companies are in competition with each other and they both want to dominate the market, one might set their prices lower than the other to steal the market share.

Lol. Lmao even

You’ll pay more and think you’re getting a deal until you see what your neighbor is paying.

“… and other lies the capital class tells gullible rubes”

Incident response, basically getting pulled in to clean up someone else’s fuck up that got them owned.

“network isn’t air gapped anymore” side of things. Now you’re having to maintain firewalls, patch firmwares, manage users, enforce good password hygiene,

This is all shit they should be doing now. They have to have a firewall to get to the net, so they should be maintaining and patching it. Managing users is standard AD shit, and password hygiene is t as easy, but setting reqs in AD for complexity goes a long way (as does not forcing passwords to rotate on an arbitrary basis).

And yes, I know it doesn’t happen in a lot of places, which is why I said ‘should’. Having been on the cleanup side of multiple security incidents, doing the basics is harder than you’d expect for a lot of places …
