Pretty much this. Comparing India to the US is very much an apples to oranges type thing. Here’s a terrifying one. https://www.cnn.com/2015/03/06/asia/india-rape-suspect-hanging

An angry mob stormed a jail, so the suspect was already in custody. Police didn’t want to use force because there were students in uniforms, which if I’m reading between the lines correctly, means the cops assumed higher caste. The suspect was Bangladeshi, so this was also fueled by racism.

This was thousands of people storming a jail. How does that happen? Did the media see an opportunity to use this story to stoke xenophobia like we’ve been seeing in Europe and the US?

There are better examples of vigilante justice in India.

I don’t know what copaganda looks like either, but every Indian movie I’ve seen has a government approved CBFC notice at the beginning, so there’s some degree of thought policing going on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Board_of_Film_Certification

I assume that whatever India’s equivalent to the Epstein files is is well, the Epstein files. The mobs aren’t going after high ranking officials. They’re going after relatively low level criminals. India has their caste system and their justice system often overlooks “downward” facing crimes. Those are the instances when the mob gets riled up.

Ehh…

The shocking rape and murder of a girl in eastern India has sparked widespread unrest, the mob-killing of an innocent man, and police killing their main suspect in custody.

He’s a Maoist. He traded that out long ago.

You in a different biosphere?

If the worse thing you experience is an “angry mob” on the internet, I want your problems.

Leaded gas, asbestos, DDT, freon… all technologies who’s advantages did not out weight their disadvantages. AI falls into the same category. What exactly does AI do for you? Does it outweigh the energy cost and health cost for the people living near the datacenters?

Given the direction AI is headed—more personalized, able to reason and solve complex problems on our behalf, and everywhere we look—it’s likely that our AI footprint today is the smallest it will ever be. According to new projections published by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in December, by 2028 more than half of the electricity going to data centers will be used for AI. At that point, AI alone could consume as much electricity annually as 22% of all US households.

And for what? Not having to hire artists? A chat bot that will tell you to kill yourself? What problem of mine does AI solve?

Until there’s an energy surplus, any clean energy used for AI could could be used for something else that displaces fossil fuel use. If someone wanted to make a data center that sat on the ocean floor and uses the heat differential from thermal vents and ocean water, that would be an exception, but no one is proposing that.

Guys, is it fascism to hit neo-nazis with handbags?

Robert FUCKING Moses did not hate cars in NYC. He also didn’t drive himself anywhere. He did office work while being chaperoned around.

I have to drive a delivery truck though NYC on a weekly basis. I have a deep, seething hatred of Suburbans and Escalades.

I’m pretty sure the US and the Soviets were spying on everyone they could, enemies, allies, and their own civilians.

Convention currents, but different soups will have different thicknesses and the more heat that’s required, but more likely it is the soup on the bottom will burn. Too many variables to design around.

You could make pots that can use a magnetic stirrer like they use in labs, but then you have to fish out a magnet from your soup.

Ok, but why do people like the Kardashians?

He views the Rich as a separate ethnic group.

from wiki:

An ethnicity or ethnic group is a group of humans who identify with each other on the basis of perceived shared attributes that distinguish them from other groups. Attributes that ethnicities believe to share include language, culture, common sets of ancestry, traditions, society, religion, history, or social treatment.

He’s mostly right, but that doesn’t invalidate criticisms of the Rich.

Alien and Aliens were different types of movies. Horror vs Action. That’s why Aliens works. It isn’t a rehash of the first.

T2 was similar to T1, but a change in dynamics like Aliens did. Sarah Connor was more in charge and knew what to do about Terminators by the sequel.

The motors were fine. It was advances in battery tech that made pure EVs viable. Really, hybrids should have been a thing a lot earlier. Series Hybrid tech has been moving trains, ships and industrial equipment for decades before the Prius(Parallel Hybrid) hit the market.
