RoidingOldMan@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Dreams are extremely forgettable because the plot is flimsy, the dialogue is uninspired, and the acting is lifeless.3·6 days agoIt’s what your brain is thinking about during your rest state. If your dreams are frantic, frighting, memorable; you’re not resting. If your dreams are forgettable, not troubling, you’re probably resting well.

RoidingOldMan@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is it time for blue states to pause gun laws?22·13 days agoGun laws in most blue states aren’t nearly as restrictive as you probably assume.
Also what’s the goal here? Civil war?
This country has 65,000 gun stores. 300+ million people. That’s a gun store for every ~5,000 people. A “small” town of 10-15k has 2-3 gun stores. Everyone has a lot of guns. Everyone.

No, because the rhetoric has changed dramatically after winning the election. Now that he no longer needs votes. He made his “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters” comment on January 23, 2016. That was back when he… needed… votes. What you’re saying is old news. He cannot legally run again. He no longer need votes. As a simple statement of fact.
Yeah. Because “we’re gonna fix voting.”

We’re only 3 months in. He’s not a lame duck 2nd term guy, he’s operating like he never needs another vote again.
RoidingOldMan@lemmy.worldto memes@lemmy.world•What do you think will the tech bros jump on next?31·26 days agoI just gave an example of AI taking a human job.
To me it’s one of the biggest dangers of AI. Not that it will take our jobs, but the harm it will do when it occasionally does. AI is a useful tool for people, absolutely. But dumb managers will think AI can replace entire jobs. And it will do those same jobs at a much much lower quality than even the lowest paid human would. With no room to talk to it and fix the problems like a normal human. We’re already in a situation with Uber/DoorDash/etc. were the algorithm is the boss with no room to argue with it.
Like if you thought sweatshops produced low quality, wait until AI is running things. Quality control is out the window. And that’s a feature as much as it’s a bug.

An extremely common tree that people grow as hedges and cut into fun shapes.
In animals the only sign is often sudden death.
It was nice before they started adding 2000-later. You could type the first number for the decade and it would bring you there. Now have to type “19” at the beginning like a neanderthal.
