Computers are extremely fast, they’re just in different ways than our brains!

Early human lifestyle was a bit more complex than what you see from the average rodent. More accurately, the human brain is “designed” to gather berries, chase megafauna with spears and hang out with your extended family all day every day.

They worried that they would end up working longer hours, in worse conditions, for less pay.

And they were right! Working conditions in 19th century industry were absolutely appalling and workers were certainly not earning more money.

I’d rather not use phone apps …

Blahaj hates lefties? What do you mean?

I like the idea of self checkout. The practical reality is often quite bad … I’d rather deal with a cashier (cashiers in my country rarely do small talk, it’s a very rote interaction) than having to wait for an employee to deal with the self checkout’s weird issues.

They are going to be AI now, because fuck the planet!

Or just photoshopped. Certainly doesn’t look handwritten …

How can you tell?

How is this a shitpost?

If you look at the background of the image, the guy is going on a rampage. Whose cars did he trash, and why?

The unfair part is that pensioners shouldn’t have to work at all, and on top of that these rules are biased for pensioners in jobs that tend to be higher-paying in the first place - most of the jobs that are practically impossible to do for pensioners because they are too physically demanding are low-paying and often have workers drop out way before pension age because of back problems and the like.

… yay … ?

Sugar was popular way before industrial food processing was a thing. If you look at old paintings of monarchs and other elite people, even pre-industrial food very frequently led to obesity if you were rich enough.

And you can easily get fat without any sugar at all. Starch, meat and cheese done right is very tasty.

Maybe those medieval militaries that relied heavily on foot archers, which were generally commoners/peasants who were very lightly armored? e.g. the English. The rest of their armies were more standard, but when armored enemy melee fighters/riders broke through the line, those archers were proper fucked.

Arguably most WW1 armies. They figured out early how to defend against armies of the era, but not how to beat those defenses and thus the war dragged on for years. Fortified stationary machine guns are devastating defensive weapons but you’re not conquering anything with that.

RIP your balls.

If true, how did it take them this long to put a case together, a full ten years after it became widely known that some manufacturers use devices to cheat emissions tests? I guess some of these were used in later models than the one where Volkswagen cheated?

They’re still the undisputed market leader on the PC and their console seems to be doing quite well, too.

Sure, using their OS fucking sucks, but the vendor lock-in is evidently massive for most people.

She’s not wrong, but … no shit? And, return to neoliberal market policies? We have been doing that for decades.

Maybe a fake version that doesn’t include Trump. Why would a dictator let his government release it with his name on it?
