That depends on whether or not there was an infinite amount of energy in the Big Bang. Lacking that, you can’t have infinite matter (i.e. infinite copies and possible configurations) even if you have infinite space to put it in.

Car Soviet Union would just be endless Ladas.

A millimile would be five feet, three and a third inches.

A better term is usury. Or simply exploitative loans. And the ideal is that NO ONE should be exploiting the resources of other countries. Not the US. Not China.

They have already had three chances to vote for him. Anyone who voted for him in 2016 is a forgivable idiot. Anyone who voted for him in 2020 approves of everything he did in his first term. Anyone who voted for him in 2024 approves of everything he did in his first term AND approves of what happened on January 6th. Voting for him or supporting him after that is not forgivable.

I didn’t downvote you. I think the answer to that is that all humans everywhere, Americans included, want to immediately jump to whatabboutism to save face.

It’s a good question. Because our land is beautiful and a lot of us are working to keep it that way. Because we still see lots of people trying to come here for a better life. There are much fewer now, and a lot of us have deep shame for what the asshole in power has done to their communities. Despite appearances, a lot of us respect and admire them for taking the hard, unwanted jobs that nevertheless still need to get done. We still believe in what the Statue of Liberty stands for despite anything the asshole tries to do to it. Yes, we functionally conquered the world when we became the sole superpower after the Soviet Union fell apart. But we also led the world with science, inventions, entertainment, and aid. That’s lost now, and a lot of us deeply resent everyone who had a hand in ruining that.

We are still working to make ourselves better.

I am however doubting the numbers since there are no independent observers in this war. You can’t just unquestionably take one sides word for things.

The ICC has accused Maria Lvova Belova of being the person in charge of the child abductions/ethnic cleansing. They are neutral and independent enough for me.

A diplomatic peace treaty should obviously see a return of these children.

I fully agree.

The quote comes from long before this age of LLMs. We need robots (which do not spy on us) to wash our dishes and fold our laundry, freeing us to think and create.

Machines should work. Humans should think.

Nice. I once asked for a picture of Godzilla giving a speech at the UN.

Everybody now! “If the service is free to you, then you are the product!”

Good ole Expert Sex Change. I haven’t thought about that site in years.

Rule #1 “Remember the human.” These days, that presumes a lot.
