If everybody cycled as much as the Dutch, global carbon emissions would drop by nearly 700 million tonnes per year.
For context, Wikipedia puts annual global carbon emissions in 2023 at 39,024 million tonnes. That's a 2% slash.
I suppose if you find a lot of these it could add up, but without a fix for the original problem of unregulated capital expansion it's just going to fill the void.
It sounds like that Chinese phrase is better translated as "republic", then, as the definition you give is almost exactly equivalent. Republic and democracy aren't synonymous in western political thought, although they're often linked and conflated.
The meme presupposes the usefulness of AI, which is why everyone's taking it as a given. If it isn't useful, you don't need to use normative arguments to stop people from using it, people will just naturally never find an opportunity to do so.
Also if you really can't think of any ways to use a chatbot to advance your political goals you need to think harder. It just shows a lack of adaptability.
That guy fumbled hard by wearing distinctive clothing, which can potentially be recovered by law enforcement and presented as evidence in a trial. I hope any future Flock vandals reading this do the same thing so they get caught.
I expect it would be for things like mental health, cultural / religious, or practical reasons i.e. shouting really loud can land you an ASBO if you do it for no reason, but not if it's part of psychotic episode, call to prayer, or an attempt to alert people to danger.
I mean kinda? There's a natural price cap in place for basic needs like this because of their relationship to labor. People need to eat to live and work, and if they can't afford to, must riot or die. This places a limit on the allowable range of grocery praces in relation to wages. If there was 10% slack to raise prices, they would've done it already. 'course, that doesn't account for the effects of benefits like SNAP, if those rise to match.
(Not that can't do it, if they've morons. it would just turn out to be an enormous mistake. 💀)
I guess they could still do it "safely" if everyone switches to using the self-checkout? Then the rise would only hit people on normal checkout. I guess what this does is unevenly distribute the cost of groceries between people that can use the self-checkout and those that can't. So it like, harms old and disabled people mostly? And people that shop during peak hours when there's a self-checkout queue.
And also it incentives supermarkets to fire cashiers, like a Pigouvian tax on hiring them. Fuck.
Uhh, yes. Unironically. Revolutions happen when a sufficient number of people can't afford to game & jack off any more, so their only source of entertainment is to LARP overthrowing the government, which they do so realistically that it actually happens. Open a history book smh.

Ol' reliable: issue $1,000,000,000,000,000 in fascist funny bonds and invade Canada.
This time for sure guys, no way they suffer a fourth embarassing defeat
Well, they are written by communists what can you expect.
Dont worry. It's Razer, so you'll only have to deal with it for 3 months until it breaks.

Yes! BlueSky is an echo chamber!
Its ok, JavaScript is an interpreted language so the client won't notice until after we've shipped.
@Bleys@lemmy.world fumbled the mention in my prev comment, so making sure I'm not stealth-mentioning you
Edit: this was literally the most concilliatory take of all time and still got censored. HELLO CRINGE DEPT??
Fucking stupid shit, would never happen in real life.
