Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•‘A maelstrom of his own making’: how Ed Sheeran’s tour turned into a full-blown culture warEnglish
0·2 months agoYou are glossing over the fact that Hamas killed and kidnapped Israelian civilians. As far as reasons for war go “We want to free the hostages” is a pretty convincing one. Such a reason did not exist for Ukraine. Also I believe Ukraine is supported by “the West”, that is, a large part of the world does not care about Ukraine.
Obviously supporting the Israelian genocide in Gaza is stupid. But picking either Israel or Palestine as a side is problematic, especially if you assume Gaza to be controlled by Hamas: Both sides want the complete destruction of their “enemy” (although only one side has the means to actually achieve that). People don’t want to be affiliated with Hamas either.
The side I would like to pick is the one against nationalism, religious zealots and mindless revenge. If both countries could get rid of the war mongers that continue to pour oil on the fire, the people could actually live in peace.
Just to be clear: I support a two state solution with a free Palestine and a free Israel coexisting in peace.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•A cow is more likely to kill you than a shark
51·3 months agoThat is outdated information, renewables + battery storage have become cheaper than nuclear power.
Side note, not relevant to discussion:
And Nuclear is on par with the safety of solar and wind but you seem prompt to forget that.
This feels rude. Your post already mentions safety of nuclear power as does the link I posted. Just from the fact that I did not reiterate that information you insinuate an opinion on my side that I did neither write nor imply.

10·3 months agoOn the site there is also a direct comparison: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/death-rates-from-energy-production-per-twh
Grouping Hydro with other renewables is not very nice for wind and solar, which are pretty safe - with the added benefit of being cheaper than nuclear power.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•US Energy Secretary: “I'm thrilled to report that tomorrow morning, on July 4th, we will end subsidies for wind and solar projects”English
0·4 months agoThat is an amazing little speech. I think except for the first sentence and the “Thank you” at the end every sentence contained misinformation on renewables. I wonder how long it took them to come up with this density of lies.

12·5 months agoHow stupid can a company be to give that much access to an LLM?
The typical science fiction doomsday AI scenarios always assume an intelligent AI. If the current trend continues humanity’s last conversation will end something like this:
"You are absolutely right, I should not have used the nuclear launch codes president Trump entrusted me with to bomb every country on earth.
If you want, I can help you come up with a list of fun activities to do in a bunker."

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK: Extreme wealth inequality is baked in to the system
0·9 months agoThe title of the post is a little misleading. The model presented here does not require many parts of a capitalist system. If you can own stuff and have a free market this model predicts extreme wealth inequality. This happens by pure chance.
The model is not a good argument against capitalism. It can be used as an argument for taxing rich folks and against the “trickle down” idea.

You must be joking. “US invading any country that has oil” has been used in cartoons and memes since forever. The US has been criticised internationally for wars and support of dictatorships for decades. There is an endless supply of cartoons for just about any war the US took part in - a lot of them are about oil.
