You and I

I really don’t think the profit margins on AI atm are important for capital.

AI is the golden goose for capital, it’s the promised land, valhalla…a cataclysmic event for life on earth materially and existentially speaking. The promise of AI is the abolition of the most cumbersome cost of every business: labor.

Imagine the circling of wagons every time a sucdem gets publicity, but like 4000 times worse, they will coalesce around this development and they will absolutely dump all of their wealth to achieve this promise, no matter how unfeasible and illusory it is

You’ve just been handed

a preexisting condition

Ay I saw the head on this fella combust in midtown just last yea.

Happens all the time, nothing we can do

Wtf? Release the godamn epstein files

8% of Democrats and 25% of independents now back Israel’s campaign in Gaza, compared to 71%

No Dems allowed into a new found opposition to Israel because they might be doing it to punish Trump but I’m supposed to be nice to republiklanners who have never been opposed to Israel but mtg did a positive thing a single time

Yeah, I’d love to do this but this is a job for professional, militant leftists if anything positive were to come out of the endeavor.

We live in a shitty Ridley Scott movie without any of the cool aesthetics.

You mean prostitution? I’m not advocating for ‘pimpery’

Someone from the magical pixie death machine of kkkapitalism explain to me what the fuck that even means

Before OF, the avenues women had to monetize themselves were nearly non existent or leagues more dangerous than OF. I truly don’t see how the platform is exploitative of women, relatively speaking.

Question for a nuclear armed friend:

Besides football and good panAsian food, what exactly are we keeping terf island around for?

Because it’s even way more made up. Stocks are at least tangentially related to the commodities the companies produce and their personnel.

Something like crypto derivatives (options) is bullshit on bullshit on bullshit, literally bs^3

Bad people always get what they deserve.

Thanks for the reply, I’m going to check out your links in a bit

I hope that it’s just the usual China scare I hear from people but

that the dam will bring far more good than bad.

ie far more good for people I care about than those I kind of don’t

Edit:

The Chinese gov has done their usual above-market compensation of people affected by plans

This is what I’m interested in. Do you have any sources on this?

which has attracted a lot of attention because the river flows into India

This river flows through Bhutan, Northeastern India, and Bangladesh, and merges with the Ganges.

Three Gorges resulted in 1+ million ppl being resettled

The Yangtze river spans almost entirely in China. China has the logistical capacity to make all of the necessary efforts for environmental impact mitigation and the prevention of the displacement people. This number would be much worse in a different country.

This new dam spans several different countries. I dunno, seems pretty bad on the surface

Dams can have downstream environmental impacts, among them are changes in water flow and water quality from the wild fluctuations in temperature. The river in question is one of the 10 largest in the world and it feeds into an even larger system

This dam has been a topic I’ve heard discussed a few times among people I know and I tend to feel like an idiot for not having a response because this does sound like a pretty big deal.

It could just be scare mongering from rightists I’m hearing. Maybe China has somehow found an appropriate environmental management plan. My OP sounded confrontational but I’m honestly concerned by this and I was hoping someone with more knowledge of the Chinese side of thinking give me some insight.

Edit: I almost forgot, I’m literally in a thread celebrating the destruction of dams by China for good reason.

What exactly do you think I’m asking about here?

A proposed dam literally the size of the entire subcontinent?

Isn’t China going to build the world’s largest hydroelectric dam in Tibet that will displace hundreds of millions of South Asians who depend on the river for clean water?
