   Or even the run of the mill, tempted by Trump, labor unionists.

   Do you have any clue how much labor union blood and bodies line our history?

   If I want my very educated, informed, right opinion about policing and prisons heard I need to earn a place at the table.

   I'm so tired of well intentioned white aligned liberal angst and hot takes.

   Getting arrested for what you believe in absolutely counts. It does.

   It doesn't count enough for you to make your demands mean more than that of others.

   No. They both know. Trump doesn't want it because it's unprofitable. Harris doesn't dare propose it because she'll lose the election if she does.

   It is the American people who don't have the first clue about what sane health care would look like. And that's also true of the populations of Canada and the UK, which used to have it, and continue to elect politicians who promise to destroy it.

   I can't believe our species has survived this long. We clearly don't deserve it.

   "The world doesn't owe you anything."

   Yeah, it does.

   It owes some people A LOT.

   No.

   Humans apply value to things; they are not intrinsically valued.

   Social networking software is for connecting people. That's what it's for, and that's what it does.

   It is a medium, a tool. Just as a broadsheet originally was to inform.

   Already your primary discussions are how to monetize this medium, rather than make it ~zero-cost for everyone to engage/host. Nearly everyone on social media walks around with a server-grade computer in their pocket.

   May be an unpopular take, but I think the main risk of ML is not that it's good at what it does.

   It's actually very bad, worse than humans by far at what it does. But because people collectively believe it is good at stuff, people are focusing so much on "the singularity" or "it replacing [x job]" the real risk continues unhindered.
   This is a good example of the true goal of ML: introduce bias and inefficiency in areas where inefficiency is desirable to capitalism.

   Struggling to find any useful advice on how to dispose of a swollen phone battery in the UK.

   Gov website just links to local council, which has no information on recycling damaged and potentially dangerous batteries.

   The nearest recycling centre in walking distance that may potentially accept it does not allow pedestrians, so would have to get two buses to a centre that does.

   It's no wonder most folk just chuck it in the bin (and maybe cause fires)
