I read the article… I’m not picking up what you’re implying here? What’s the link to trump?

Is it the rhetoric of “foreign ppl shouldn’t be having babies here?”

Your argument might have some weight if Roblox had been included in the ban. You know, Roblox, the well-known haven of groomers and pedos.

If you’re in aus, can you share how the ban has been? I’d like to hear how it’s actually working out…

That’s all well and good, but getting kids off those platforms is neither the goal nor the outcome of this new law.

I’d say the second, based on evidence we’re already seeing in real-life outcomes. LLM chatbots have been linked directly to several suicides already, which would be a startling pattern if these were visits to a therapist or repeated encouragement from another person.

The most common way ppl interact with AI is with something like chatgpt, and these exhibit some very worrisome and largely sycophantic behaviour.

Who is using US English in this article? It isn’t involved.

That’s one of the things that makes World War I and II so unusual.

Um, not sure where youre getting that… Germany began arms buildup literally as soon as WW1 was over in 1918. The Treaty of Versailles arguably marks the beginning of economic warfare in the 20th century.

Where did Nero live again?

Where, indeed.

Weird take, bruv.

Says someone who responded to an article about GDPR digital rights by interjecting that Europe should stop mocking the us and forcing everyone to use UBI.

Thank you, Henry Kissinger. Your input into geopolitical workings outside Nero’s burning city are noted.

Also, “outside US” means Europe. Got it.

I lol’d because growing up in cold climate. You had to put a block heater to keep your engines warm enough to start.

I’m from Winnipeg, I know.

None of this shit is different in any meaningful way.

It is functionally very different. We heat our blocks, but rare is the person with a battery blanket.

Teslas need warming and cooling for their batteries, and even at that, they lose huge range in super cold winters. But that isn’t the real problem, which is that recharge cycles are fewer and fewer every time you charge a cold li-ion.

The hyphen removes that option of intended meaning.

Well, there is still the temperature constraints of Lipo and LiFePo batteries (the latter being much better at cold and hot charging).

But the point is that lithium batteries operate under a pretty big compromise of needing heating and cooling when temps are too cold and too hot, respectively. That is where lead acid has a pretty significant advantage.

Edit: I had a 1991 miata, and I don’t recall having a lithium battery. It was rear-mounted, though.

Right, good point. I should have specified “mammals”.

General rule of thumb is “don’t eat things that eat things”. Obviously, there are exceptions for survival cases, but the range of pathogens, parasites, and prions one can contract from eating a predator is much, much wider than that from eating vegetarian animals.

You are responding to an LLM account.

It’s not the position taken, it’s more the timing and subject on which to be outspoken. There were a few other more appropriate opportunities for Wales to reinforce Wikipedia’s principles that came before this process side-step.

The concern from article editors is that there might be other hot-button topics that for Wales would justify a veto-style judgement, which would be contrary to the very message Wales is purporting to send.

Employees can cover them up while working.

I’m obviously talking about face and neck tattoos.

What places are you even talking about?

Have you been to Québec? La place est completement basee sur l’eglise catholique. Si on commence avec les symboles, qu’est-ce qui arrete Roberge de monter une croisade d’annihilation de toute association religieuse? C’est pas mal ce qu’il veut.

Don’t put up religious holiday decorations.

Yeah, that’ll fly.

Look, I’m French Canadian, and I’m all for not having religion involved in professional decisions, but people are human. They show culture. Previous attempts at this kind of “purism” by prohibition have failed for this reason.

I notice you didn’t include the religious holidays.

Incorrect. You said you were curious to know, I’m telling you what the concerns are.

It is very difficult to describe the boundaries of culture, and therefore difficult to enforce evenly across the board.

Culture is built into more than just symbols worn on the body. If Quebec were truly trying for secularism, there wouldn’t be a day off for Easter or Christmas.

This is an attempt at some form of Quebecois “purism”, same as banning signs in English.

The problem with this ban is what constitutes “religion”, and what symbols are included.

• tattoos?
• names of places?
• holiday decorations?

People show their culture. It has historically not worked very well to suppress culture.
