You REDUCE crime by eliminating POVERTY. The reason so called nice neighborhoods have lower crime rates is because people’s basic needs are being met. It is not because of police, alarm systems, or neighborhood associations. Poverty creates crime.
I don’t understand the obstinance. Why is “young people should have a better standard of living” controversial? Is not the entire objective of society to make production more efficient to improve standard of living? shouldn’t these rewards predominantly flow to the young?
Famílies: Ens aprofitarem d'immigrants en situació vulnerable i posarem en risc els avis pagant quatre duros en negre a una cuidadora no professional, que a més de no saber cuidar de gent gran, ni tan sols parla l'idioma.

"Dying for your country is a patriotic fairy tale. In reality, you will bleed out in the mud like a butchered dog for absolutely nothing." - Ernest Hemingway
This video is the perfect summary of how girls are unable to experience their childhoods. She's coming from the kitchen carrying a pot. She's a child just like the boys but she has to be in the kitchen and looking after them. This earth has truly never been fair to the female sex
It's also interesting how they get to decide what counts as an "intellectual" conversation in the first place. More often than not "intellectual" just means topics they're interested in or already knowledgeable about. They often mistake their interests for intelligence itself.
immigration debate will go nowhere until we all come to terms it is deeply inhumane to have such massive differences in living standards across the globe and expect people to just accept that
I need people to understand, AI can't read, it can't understand your question. It uses pattern recognition. If you're using it for research, its not research, its selective and biased results based on pattern matching, if there's no pattern it fills the blanks with false info.
esto tendría que contar como crimen contra la humanidad, van a destruir libros que tienen cultura y conocimiento centenario e incluso milenario!!! todo para sus IAs de mierda. así empiezan las distopías btw, destruyendo, modificando y negando a la gente el conocimiento inalterado
It is utterly grotesque & irresponsible that Joyce Carol Oates will casually brand a classicist, scholar & professor "MAGA" for the unforgivable sin of daring to criticize a popular blockbuster movie.
Irresponsible, revealing & humiliating even.
I’m not even gonna lie to yall. This should be… NEEDS TO BE… the FINAL fucking straw with ai. We cannot allow shit like this to keep happening. We risk losing our identity as a species. We risk losing our art to the machines. We risk cutting off new art forever. This isn’t good
Es que me parece la hostia. Vamos por partes.
El 12 de julio, Orriols dice que en Ripoll hay un problema de seguridad ciudadana y presenta una plaza para una unidad de Policía Local.
Orriols designa a dedo a los tres miembros del tribunal que van a tutelar la selección.
Se inscriben 24 personas, se presentan 15 y Guinadell Orriols (la hija), con 19 años, es contratada tras "sacar la mejor nota en una entrevista personal" que evaluó el mismo tribunal que puso ella a dedo.
Y aquí, por lo que sea, nadie va a ver tráfico de influencias ni malversación. Y encima tienes que leer que la justicia es más dura con los políticos de derechas.
This is gonna sound so mean but it’s because Nolan is an accesible director who makes movies for the masses that make them feel smart, so when intellectuals/academics/actual cinephiles critique his work those masses feel like they’re getting called stupid by proxy
i fucking hate choice feminism. if the reason you're insecure is because society has told you that you're ugly, giving in to pressure and changing your appearance is anti-feminist. the whole point of feminism is not giving a fuck what the patriarchy wants you to do, not your kids
In a sane world, automation would pave the way for true abundance and even a post-scarcity society, where humanity could truly flourish.
But in our world, all it does is create unemployment, widen the wealth gap, and pave the way for a police-state.
What really fucking boils my piss is that we had the opportunity to change the world after Covid. The pandemic produced a fascinating real-world experiment. It demonstrated that human activity can alter emissions and local environmental conditions extraordinarily quickly

There needs to be a serious conversation about Nolan’s choppy editing practices in THE ODYSSEY because this is just nauseating to look at.
A result of the IMAX 3-hour rule perhaps?
in nolan's odyssey, matt damon spends a decade dealing with guilt over disguising himself and committing mass murder. as soon as he gets over it, he immediately proceeds to disguise himself again and murder dozens of unarmed people. then the movie ends.
Emily Wilson after watching the Odyssey:
‘The film presents an Odysseus who feels very bad about things that he's done in war, and is struggling to process them in a very modern, psychiatrised way – and needs drugs to do so! He seems to feel bad about being a warrior, and we never actually see him get to do much warrioring ... Nolan makes the protagonist a likeable, all-American hero; Homer's Odysseus wants glory, and he wants to get spoils from the sack of a city! I kept looking in vain for a sense that this was a film about glory. This is a film that has an interest in shame, but I don't think it has any interest in glory.’
