Naw.

For context at this time the Jewish people were under strict roman rule and oppression, treated as second class citizens. And a lot of Jewish folks had stopped giving a fuck about respecting their own culture/religion.

Jesus shows up to this huge, extremely sanctious, temple. It’s not just any temple, its one of THE temples for Jewish worship.

Inside he finds that the romans+Jewish merchants have pretty much turned it into an animal pen + marketplace. It’s filthy, there’s animals shitting all over, there’s people doing business, people are being extremely disrespectful.

So yeah Jesus goes apeshit and starts flipping tables, chasing ppl out of the temple, whipping people and animals, basically being like “all you assholes gtfo how dare you”

It’s less about the money stuff and more about the donkeys actively shitting on the floor and ppl spitting on the temple.

Contextually its likely people were doing stuff like pissing on the wall (no bathroom in a makeshit marketplace, what do you think would happen), graffiti’ing, spitting, throwing garbage on the floor, so on and so on.

Now, originally, this business made sense. Specifically, pilgrims traveling a long distance needed to stop for some key stuff on arrival.

Pilgrims needed animals and approved currency for sacrifices, which they’d do at the temple, so setting up to do that stuff right at the temple made sense.

But what happened is a simple lil currency exchange + buy a sacrifice stall exploded to be a whole marketplace as seedier and more sus ppl moved in, and soon the original point was lost.

It probably originally just started as one guy just exchanging coins and selling goats/chickens outside the temple as a legit business.

As further insult/context, consider the fact that once they moved this process to be in the temple, it meant they were controlling people’s access to worship.

Effectively it became a state of “you have to pay to pray” at the temple, and not a tithe, but more like literally having to pay a bunch of money to even get the right coins, the approved animals, etc.

You couldn’t bring your own stuff now.

You know how movie theaters wouldn’t let you bring in your own food, and would charge you an arm and a leg for anything? Yeah, think of it like that.

That’s more like it, thank you!

Source? This is just some random picture, I’d prefer if stuff like this gets posted and shared with actual proof backing it up.

While this might be true, we should hold ourselves to a standard better than just upvoting what appears to literally just be a random image that anyone could have easily doctored, not even any kind of journalistic article or etc backing it.

I thought he already put tariffs on us? And then again?

As a Canadian, all I can say is “hey wait a minute, I’ve seen this one before!”

I’m shocked this sorta shit still happens in 2025, how did this come into being? Thus might be a rabbit hole I go down, who founded this program, who vetted it, etc

If literally anyone thinks “it’s okay that Trump bombed Iran, it was the right move”…

Then couldnt you just argue that “if it was such an obviously right move, wouldn’t it have been easy to get congress to approve it?”

It’s illogical to on one hand say it was the right thing to do, while ignoring the fact he did it without approval.

If it was so right, then approval would’ve been easy to get…?

The 1 seat they got was in the green party stronghold (co leaders home town)

I have zero clue what her platform is, prolly environmentalist tho.

If any vote ever fails in our government, it triggers an instant re-election. It’s called the Vote of Non Confidence

It’s probably one of the most key parts of why our government is a little bit more resistant to clown-showing, because even a small crack in the parliament triggers a new election.

So bills can only be tabled if the gov is 100% confident it will have the votes.

Which means the conservatives could table a bill if they knew the NDP + Bloc would side with them on it, as then they have the votes to pass it.

But since it’s the NDP, a very progressive party, it means they actually hold that fine balance of mediating power between liberals and conservatives.

It’s pretty solid actually, and makes it so everyone the entire term could pass a reasonable bill.

Pretty sure this last term the conservatives and liberals did agree on some stuff and some bills passed with both approving it, iirc.

I think forcing them to occasionally work together like that helps temper the fascism lol.

Sorry. Naive and easily fooled by propaganda and disinformation that feeds into their bigotry

My bad ❤️

Bloc have endorsed the liberals already, Quebec is extremely anti trump.

Bloc aligning with conservatives would be political suicide lol.

Atm we got it, this is the magic sweet spot where we want to be

172 seats exactly with lib+ndp+green

and conservatives can’t even threaten a vote of non confidence with bloc’s help. (1 vote short)

But they could trigger it with that 1 green seat’s help, which means liberals have to stay on the good side of that 1 green seat XD

Not appropriate enough.

Unironically over 30% of people somehow still voted conservative.

I’m ashamed to admit a very large amount of them are from my area.

I don’t know what is wrong with some people. The education system has clearly desperately failed many of the people here though.

The big key is gonna be if we get that sweet 172 seats with Lib+Green+NDP, we are only 1 seat short

If we hit that mark it means, hilariously, the one single green seat is needed to form a majority government without bloc’s help needed

Which will force liberal party to play ball with NDP and Green Party’s more progressive policies.

That’s our ideal scenario, conservatives are told to go kick rocks, and green/ndp get an actual voice on decision making to push the country in a progressive direction.

One. More. Seat!

Wow, that sure is something else.

This genuinely made me do an IRL spit take, holy shit.

Same, but they did set up a self hosted instance for us to use and, tbh, it works pretty good.

I think it’s s good tool specifically for helping when you dunno what’s going on, to help with brainstorming or exploring different solutions. Getting recommended names of tools, finding out “how do other people solve this”, generating documentation, etc

But for very straightforward tasks where you already know what you are doing, it’s not helpful, you already know what code you are going to write anyways.

Right tool for the right job.

I’m sorry they put tarrifs on uninhabited islands lol

I primarily use GPT style tools like ChatGPT and whatnot.

The key is, rather than asking it to generate code, specify that you dont want code and instead want it to help you work through the solution. Tell it to ask you meaningful questions about your problem and effectively act as a rubber duck

Then, after you’ve chosen a solution with it, ask it to generate code based on all the above convo.

This will typically produce way higher quality results and helps avoid potential X/Y problems.

Humans are “trained” with maybe ten thousand “tokens” per day

Uhhh… you may wanna rerun those numbers.

It’s waaaaaaaay more than that lol.

and take only a couple dozen watts for even the most complex thinking

Mate’s literally got smoke coming out if his ears lol.

A single Wh is 860 calories…

I think you either have no idea wtf you are talking about, or your just made up a bunch of extremely wrong numbers to try and look smart.

1. Humans will encounter hundreds of thousands of tokens per day, ramping up to millions in school.

2. An human, by my estimate, has burned about 13,000 Wh by the time they reach adulthood. Maybe more depending in activity levels.

3. While yes, an AI costs substantially more Wh, it also is done in weeks so it’s obviously going to be way less energy efficient due to the exponential laws of resistance. If we grew a functional human in like 2 months it’d prolly require way WAY more than 13,000 Wh during the process for similiar reasons.

4. Once trained, a single model can be duplicated infinitely. So it’d be more fair to compare how much millions of people cost to raise, compared to a single model to be trained. Because once trained, you can now make millions of copies of it…

5. Operating costs are continuing to go down and down and down. Diffusion based text generation just made another huge leap forward, reporting around a twenty times efficiency increase over traditional gpt style LLMs. Improvements like this are coming out every month.

For sure, much like how a cab driver has to know how to drive a cab.

AI is absolutely a “garbage in, garbage out” tool. Just having it doesn’t automatically make you good at your job.

The difference in someone who can weild it well vs someone who has no idea what they are doing is palpable.
