Yeah, there’s definitely something wrong with that. It is reality though.

Whilst I agree, it wasn’t a smart statement from Tennant. Easy words to bend.

I can see where they’re coming from, sure. But assuming something with no proof doesn’t make any sense, to me at least.

I just found it such an odd thing to make an assumption over.

Why? The worlds richest people aren’t royal, so why would the UKs richest person need to be?

Many of the recent protests about climate change have been less direct and more about stirring up controversy to force the public to actually think about their decisions.

My hat off to them as so far this style of protest has been working and has resulted in many of us pushing for better climate control.

You’re right this isn’t going to stop companies, but even if you disagreed with them it puts climate change in your conscious mind. Even if that simply means you’ll try to make slightly more climate friendly decisions moving forwards, that’s a win.

Personally I don’t know if I agree with the technique, but I do feel like it has been working in terms of making people discuss this topic more.

Standard British sarcastic comment…

It’s almost as if right wing people shouting loudly gets more viewers, be it with those that agree with them or not.

Probably like most other countries, there’s a sensible way to do things if the country is governed well.

Then, there’s the ridiculous way that occurs when different sections of a country are pulling in opposite directions, without being well guided by the governing power.

If car companies can make more money short term by not switching to EV, they will. They don’t care that consumers and the country would have a cheaper time with EVs. Also there’s all the fuel companies that stand to lose a lot of money when we make the switch to EV.

I’m happy to take the time to alter your perspective, if you are open to new information.

You took some time, but spent it explaining at a fairly technical level, rather than a lamens term approach. I doubt you managed to change many people’s perspective, but you maybe reinforced some.

Not sure when people started to use ‘W’. It appears multiple times in this thread

Edit: then again I’m of a generation where ‘y’ means why and not yes. Maybe I’m just not hip anymore sadfaceemoticon.jpg

I’d argue that it’s naive to think we can ever think non-individually as a species. Maybe I’ve just become cynical as I’ve aged and experienced though, not to say you haven’t also experienced - more that, if you have, your experiences have clearly been very different to my own.

Just fackin’ sort it ooouuttt!

Edit, but seriously sorting in most scenarios is just by date created or name, which most file explorers can do.

That Isn’t generally an AI task.

If OP wants the AI to read the file and sort by colour for example, then this is maybe an AI task but sounds more like a software task.

Lol yeah.

Good luck spending time and money investing in something that you know will have zero legal protection as ‘yours’ after you go to market.

I personally feel that a copyright does give confidence to product developers to actually develop products. If they felt they weren’t going to get anything for their work they just wouldn’t bother and our tech advancement would stall significantly.

Clearly a way to get more older people votitwho are more likely to vote Tory.

Sounds like leadership that can’t lead and is simply trying to cater for internal needs while maintaining some form of power.

“Yes Mr right wing, we’ll kill them all”

" Yes Mr left wing we’ll agree to a ceasefire"

I’m interested in the idea of selection adaptation and motorised vehicles, however I think selective adaptation takes much much much longer than motorised vehicles have been with us so far. We’re talking hundreds of years for selective adaptation to take affairs.

I could be wrong about that though.

The more likely adaptation reason currently is that we like over eating. Food used to be scarce, and when it was available you ate as much as you could or you died. The survivors of that scenario are the ones that made us, and as such we love eating lots when it’s there.

I think our fascination with sweet foods makes sense from this perspective also. Our ancestors exposure to sweet foods were mostly fruit. Fruit would have improved their immune system significantly. Unfortunately we’ve since began mass producing sugar which doesn’t offer the same benefits, but our bodies are still set up to love that sweet taste.

I’m rambling a bit, but there you go.

I reckon if he just turned it around and became a stand up guy, helping immigrants settle peacefully, becoming a role model for the world stage from a moral standpoint, he’d lose all those supporters.

It’d be amazing to watch that character arc too.

Yeah, as others have said here. My point was you don’t need to understand why. You just need to understand that it’s what makes that person feel complete and not pigeon hole them with everybody else.

Who’s to say that the person that labels as a woman and a father is being offended? By assuming this person will be offended you’re labelling their personal feelings of who they are in to a stereotype.

My interpretation of your comment suggests it sounds like you’re worried about offending. I think the best position is to be okay with the idea that you’re going to offend some people sometimes. If you do, you apologize and explain that you didn’t realise that what you were saying may be interpreted that way, and move on. If they want to push it further than that, then they’re being difficult (just because somebody is in a minority, doesn’t mean they’re “right”). Everyone needs to realise that we’re not actually all out to get one another, and just let these little misunderstandings go.

Story time.

A good example of this, in a different setting, is that I was at a BBQ a few weeks ago. A guy I know, somewhere between acquaintance and friend, said I can drink his beers from his cooler because mine were in the fridge inaide. As I drank more, I totally took advantage of this (inhibitions lowered and all that) and drank a load of his beers. The week after when I saw him again I said “sorry man, I think I drank all your beers last week”. He said “no worries. All good”. And we moved on.

We do stuff that offends others all the time, and others do it to us. We just need to apologise when we realise and move on.

I think it’s important to note that this is all very personal to the individual. There is no “should” and a transgender woman may still consider themselves a father.

Just because we may not understand it, doesn’t mean it’s wrong. Which is the important lesson for much of what is wrong in the world right now.

I think this would actually help capitalism be less self-destructive. People would still be spending all there money on stuff. But the products would be more quality of life/child focussed. It then also leads to a larger base to generate income from.

I think this would however destroy the current short term focussed ‘share price’ version of capitalism that were stuck in.
