I think it would be mixed feelings of omg big pretty explosion and oh god oh fuck the world is ending

You also underestimate the stupidity of the average voter/person. Most people vote on vibes, not policy, and don't pay that much actual attention to politics.

Took em long enough

It funni

Iirc they're ok but not amazing, proprietary and mostly good because they aren't Google or Bing.

As a straight cis man this is correct

So like... Don't build it out of ice then? Also it's a book that may or may not be fully accurate, and should be taken as a thought experiment and story

There are plenty of valid concerns but that is not one of them lol

Iirc it's a half-scam from the icecream machine manufacturer, since they have an exclusivity deal with Mcd's and as such provide shitty machines that only they can repair and then charge a stupid amount of money to fix them.

Understandable lol
For some reason I thought you were trying to say something like the math isn't mathing when trying to understand the picture by putting weird math. To be fair I had basically just woken up and was browsing Lemmy in bed.

Yeah I see that now lol, was just a bit smooth brain when I saw it this morning

Ohhh I didn't even process that that is how it should be read lol

Actual top tier title then lmao

Ooh yeah thats a bit better

Yep, memetic behavior is literally copying what other people are doing

Y=-x^2 is a perfectly valid and understandable equation tho

Edit: I completely misunderstood, the line is how you should read it lol

Best im getting is "ping the cheare hotel"

Thanks for finding the actual statistics. My initial feeling was that there are too many ways to interpret what the article was saying, and playing silly buggers with the statistics.

I think you might over-estimate how common that would be if such hate and opinions were not supported by the state or at least not ignored by the state, but it is an understandable concern, but I see a few possible arguments against it.

• the lack of such freedom of mobility and movement of culture would let cultures mix and have more interaction, which has been shown to increase acceptance of different cultures, and reduce hate.

• there will almost always be cultural differences, and dislike between groups, but especially without class struggles it will be less common for them to elevate to the levels of lynchings, and outright conflict. Hell, even just looking at the US, it has a decent amount of separate cultural regions but not much conflict based on that. It is mostly interpersonal conflict, class-based, or from reactionaries to minorities.

Yeah, though I think currently only emissions cutting should be implemented, mostly because damage reversing tech like DAC take green energy that could otherwise be used to more effectively cut emissions elsewhere. Once we start getting excess green energy to do such things, then it should be implemented. It should still be researched and developed now tho

Like united as in sharing the same governmental structure (or lack thereof sometimes), freedom to move and travel anywhere, and probably more or less similar ideals for such a thing for actually work.

There still obviously would be things to fight over and probably some amount of small-scale civil conflict. There would also still probably be areas with with similar cultures, but with softer and more grey edges and mixing.

This is also more or less just the Marxist ideal of things, I have slightly different ideals personally. Mostly that there does need to be a fairly defined state and governmental system to maintain socialism/communism, help organize large-scale resource allocation and transport on a global scale, and provide structure for civilization-scale projects like progressing human knowledge and science, space travel and exploration, etc.

I think the point is there just wouldn't be Nation-states anymore, just a single united world. Partially because communism is definitionally stateless and classless (by Marx at least).
