we understand the value of resources now, just in your example the availability and the macro-economics of what a resource is changes.

Crude oil existed for millions of years, but wasn’t a resource until it could be refined. Salt used to be a premium resource, and now is considered a basic one.

So you mean “will gradually readjust to the new value of new reources”

Also, we don’t have “total control” over anything now. Crimes go unreported, unprosecuted, unsolved, rebellion and revolution happens across the globe, protests happen, democracy happens.

You can also choose to start an autonomous community if you want right now - just that most people actually want sewers and toilets and hygiene and warm water and transport and food variety. But if you don’t- you can just go live in the forest.

Then you pivot to saying “I’m being sarcastic - it wouldn’t be a utopia because we wouldn’t have AI”

AI is just matrix math on byte encoding. Just like life was pretty good in 1985 before the internet was popularized and marketed, this one tech product does not drastically affect society.

I would also contend that society isn’t drastically different post-internet. It’s the media of the message that changed, but human communication and structure is still roughly similar to most post-WW2 standards.

You have a mental health issue that no one on here can solve.

I say this because I spent years in the same place, on the edge of ending my own life. I had a pact with myself that I wouldn’t let myself live another 10 years. That was 12 years ago.

You are depressed. But you can make progress. All of the things that everyone says are the ways out of depression do work - they just don’t work overnight, and they don’t all work all the time - sometimes it’s medication, sometimes it’s quitting booze, sometimes it’s sleeping 8 hours. Sometimes it’s none for a little while and things are bad. It’s a process. But eventually you make progress.

Wishing the best for you.

we absolutely did not leave them alone, we invited them to work for the government of most western countries, sometimes even letting them stay in power in Germany.

I wanted a cat when I was 5. My parents got me a fish instead. So, in my innocence, I named the fish “Pussy”

man if only there was a way to link the changing climate to climate change

and we have, as a society, yet to condemn more guilty than innocent people to the death sentence.

I’d be surprised if Ukraine isn’t feeding Trump false info to see if Russia reacts to it

that they love to committ war crimes in the name of ideological victories seems pretty relevant

it was purchased by the southern baptists in 1954 from the Anglican church and returned to them in 1981, the name comes from that period.

It was founded as the only Christian hospital in 1882 following the need for medical intervention in the region (what was then the Ottoman empire) following the Anglo-Egyptian war.

you’re saying you want more illegal immigration?

the only way to stop illegal immigration is to allow more paths to legal immigration.

After all, immigration is wholly and totally a net benefit, fiscally speaking.

is it still going with Bec Hill?

Crack an egg on it

I think they mean in the cage scene, isn’t he chained up and then gets the key off the guy by eating him and wearing his face?

never stop hating human rights abuses, miscarriages of justice, false imprisonment without due trial, torture, kidnapping, and tyranny? You got it, boss.

I think they mean “is bhuddist, acts catholic”

…the south lol

people eat basically the same shit

Buffalo sauce is a rare sight in Europe, as is white gravy. Americans consider them an everyday occurrence.
