My dad had to wait 6 months just to get an appointment for a doctor to recommend ankle surgery surgery which took place another 6 months later. So we have wait times just as bad as any other country.

Allow me to quote a great political philosopher of our time: Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses.

There are quite a few people embedded in our political machinery, in congress, in the supreme court and held the presidency, that are actively working on overthrowing the government and replacing it a fascist state. The police who showed up and supported the jan 6 insurrection are doing exactly what that contingent of fascists want, they did not falter, they did exactly what their superiors wanted.

My point is is that the cops, who you quote replied their role as protest/riot suppression for the government, were on the side of the rioters and insurrectionists on Jan 6.

Suspended with pay. But I was implying the cops didn’t “falter.” Enough of them were in favor of it and some were actually there as part of the insurrection.

Who said Jan 6 was faltering?

If I don’t have internet, I can’t do my job, therefore I can’t get money I need to spend on food, water and shelter, which I need to live.

Giving the benefit of the doubt I can see that reading but it definitely implied that stupidity is genetic because of how big the stupid people family tree gets and the scifi story it was based on was a looooot more explicit with the eugenics of the story.

Because Google has literally poisoned the internet to be the de facto SEO optimization goal. Even if Google were to suddenly disappear, everything is so optimized forngoogle’s algorithm that any replacements are just going to favor the SEO already done by everyone.

Ignoring the blatant eugenics of the very first scene, I’d rather live in the idiocracy world because at least the president with all of his machismo and grandstanding was still humble enough to put the smartest guy in the room in charge of actually getting plants to grow.

Yeah that’s been the joke since the Witness was first revealed in With Queen just over 2 years ago.

I mean, the FTC is doing something. It’s the courts I’m more concerned with.

Nobody’s hating him, we’re pointing out his arguments are untrue and pushing harmful rhetoric. People who hate him would be calling for his banning, not trying to argue against his rhetoric.

Citation needed.

Sure failure is gonna happen but neuralink hasn’t been particularly successful with all the primates that have been tested with for previous version either.

At least the president in Idocracy had the humility and self awareness let the smartest guy in the room advise him on policy.

but we already have more than enough people and no realistic places left to expand.

…in the current economic model. Currently we have enough built housing and grow enough food globally and produce enough consumer goods that ever single person can be fed, clothed and shelter. But the wealthiest few would rather crops rot in fields, hoard houses to extract rent and burn unsold clothing instead of slightly lowering ther profit margins.

It’s business model is indistinguishable from other Silicon Valley based tech companies, riding hype cycles of disrupting XYZ industry with its incredible new tech thats definitely only a year or 2 away. It’s a tech company.

Exactly, and then keep doing that over and over again until you either dig through enough garbage to find the good source or just throw your hands in the air and give up trying to find good sources and either give up the hobby all together or say fuck it and go at it alone.

How does one find a mycology forum or club without falling prey to SEO optimized AI generated results? AI isn’t just generating books, they can write fake web pages for non-existent clubs and fake entire forums and optimize the hell out of the SEO to maximize positioning on Google’s search results.

Which is why they suggested finding an organization/association

How does one start searching for an organization/association? My first instinct, and pretty much everyone I know’s first instinct, would be to search online for a mycology group, which is likely surrounded by other highly SEO optimized AI generated mycology group website. And then you go to a meet that doesn’t exist, and you try the next group you found online and find that group doesn’t exist, ad infinitum.
