Yeah, it’s totally not Israel, the country known for being great at hacking and is attacking multiple middle eastern countries at the moment.

Just want to point out, EU inflation rate from 2015 - 2024 is a 12% change, so out of the 3 examples listed only the EU has had stable prices. Technically housing prices went down in some EU countries based on this information, like Portugal. And EU inflation has gone down since the 2022 spike, which means there was a tiny housing bubble in 2022.

This only applies to housing prices of course - rent is a different story so being addressed in different ways across different EU members.

You should listen to the podcast “Stuff you Should Know” episode on Wikipedia called “The Big Episode on Wikipedia”.

Wikipedia doesn’t really quite work like you stated, and especially the huge topics like this, they tend to be more factual, detailed, accurate, and researched than even long established encyclopedias.

This is nice to know. Cinny looks beautiful from a UX perspective, wish they made an app too. Not enough good UX in open source stuff.

You’re kind, since you didn’t ask him to pronounce something like yö

That’s not a single technological advancement though, it’s multiple.

But either way, I think it’ll make a difference because it eliminates a big factor that’s always been present:

Humans.

Autonomous robots would never tire, would be able to maintain themselves to a degree, and the controlling force never has to worry about their loyalty. Also eases stress on the empire’s citizens because they’re not the ones being sent to fight anymore, either. Easier to do the bread and circuses.

Hopefully I’ll be wrong about it.

I should clarify: advanced autonomous robotics.

Statistically and unfortunately however, they have been very bad at not being taken over by non-anarchy eventually. And it’ll likely get worse for a while with robotics.

Yes, based on facts.

Unfortunately nothing you say has had any.

Paramilitary?

Seriously I’m old enough to remember when words other than “terrorist” were used.

Hamas doesn’t just want to cause terror, and isn’t a random group. It’s an organized group with an objective goal to destroy the nation of Israel that’s part of a governing body.

Nowadays anyone that’s “the bad guy” is just called “terrorist”. That’s not by accident either - makes it hard to talk nuance when you make things black and white, and gives oligarchs and autocrats a nice loaded word to use against “revolutionaries”.

What I’m describing is Kidney failure and dialysis - well, part of it, it’s even worse than that - the things the doctors and researchers that were involved in doing this transplant are trying to cure.

The thing you say we should allow humans to go through in the name of holding ourselves to a “higher standard”.

It’s easier to hold a higher standard when you have all your needs met.

Less so when you’re poked with giant needles 3 times a week while also having to be careful to not drown because you drank a tad too much water.

You do realize that slippery slope argument is what’s used when it comes to banning anything else, right?

“Can’t legalize marijuana or people will start wanting to do meth” for example.

Hey as long as it isn’t Teflon Windows 👍
