Guess who is going to have fun now that the humans are gone ?

An awesome cat wearing a bomber’s jacket and a baseball cap and an earring, plays pinball, in a bar, while smoking a cigarette and drinking a beer, 1980’s vibe, photorealistic

Yes I know, I am cheating a bit with the theme

Actually, the younger you fuck up, the worse are the consequences. A 13 year old go in a school fight, he is kicked out of school, has to go in another school further away, sleep less, see his grade fall down, and next year he’ll be pushed to start an apprenticeship rather than high school.

A 31 one year old (otherwise a good citizen) does the same. He’ll spend a night in police custody and at worst pays a fine (with a high probability that change are dropped because judges and prosecutor are busy)

Aren’t you staying dead for millenia until the second comming and the judgement day ? To my understanding the reason why Christian burry their dead rather than burning them is that they need to resurrect on jugement day

Most of the rich cannot just move to a tax haven. Sure someone who inherited multi-generational wealth can hide it in the Caiman island.

But if you own a canned tomato factory, or even if you’re a business consultant, you get rich because of very local things, and can’t easily move-it away.

At the speed at which government push back the retirement age, I expect something like 70 with 47 worked years by the time I’ll be old enough.

I have an interesting job, mostly in an office, some savings, so I may be able to do otherwise. But yhea, I don’t count that much on retirement

While I love the theoretical idea of direct democracy, the EU is supposed to address high level issue with generic directive.

So complex laws on complex topics. Do you know the details of directives like reach? (and typical lemmy audience has more chance to understand REACH over finance) Do you know the details about every chemical substance allowed/banned? Even good faith politicians end up believing lobbyists, imagine a regural person without a team of assistant

Direct democracy is great, but the EU is a too generic level for it to work

Just dropping that here https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/jd-vance-elon-musk-x-twitter-donald-trump-b2614525.html

Fuck you Elon

What’s she intended audience and the speaker profile?

An AI summit for math/Computer science/Physics students would look very different from an AI summit for business/economy/law students.

-Should everyone get a basic knowledge of how it works under the hood so they use it properly?

• Which new jobs will appear? And which one will be replaced

• Is it time for UBI?

• Shall we setup laws to limit what can be done with AI?

• Is AI a massive copyright violation?

Bonus question, is there a way to change the default UI to one of these cool front end? Not by logging into alexandrandite or whatever

French and Arabic are the second and third most spoken language in number of countries. Then there is the obvious Mandarin which is spoken in most of China with around a billion locutors

Europe needs to step up on Ukraine.

Realistically, I doubt the western european public opinions are ready to accept 20 year old kids coming home in a coffin. If we put boots on the ground, I expect the war to be more deadly than recent middle-east operations.

So while we could kick of Russia ass, I don’t think we’re ready to pay the political price, at least for Ukraine.

Seize the illegally obtained wealth, pay civil damages to the victims and rehabilitation program including education and psychological support.

I’m fine saying that people like Dutroux, Breivick or Abdeslam shall not be out before a very long-time. However, they’re not the average criminal.

Let me return you the question, there is that single-mother who struggle to pay the rent, and debt collector knocked her door a few times, a drug dealer ask her if she can keep a package for them and that someone will pick-it up tomorow night and give her 500 € in exchange, does that woman (Which is now part of drug dealer network) desserve jail-time ? Wouldn’t giving her the mean to pay the rent prevent her from needing to take part of drug traffic ? That drunk person has a fight in the train station, the other fighter falls on the track as the train arrive, now a person died. Does the person desserve to spend 5-10 years in jail ? Wouldn’t Rehab work better ?

I’ll go even further and say that welfare program, teacher, psychiatrist and some other do way more at preventing crime than police, jail and hard on crime policies

Bike trip on the Panericana from Punta Arenas to whatever is the northern most city in Alaska. Or if I have less time but cash to burn, do it in an ultra-light (A bit like Blyth Cape-town Cape North expedition in the 90’s http://www.trike-expeditions.com/CapeToCape/capetocape.html )

I plan on doing exactly that for the following 6 months (quit my job, taking a break to address burnout and reorient): nothing.

I wouldn’t call adressing a burnout a Sabbatical but a sick leave, a Sabbatical is choosing to take time off work for a project, not needing to take time off work for your mental health

Sorry that you’re there (And use the health issue as an explanation for the hole in your CV if they ask)

Weirdest I’ve seen was that voter who comes to his voting office, not to vote but to insult The president, The mayor, the volunteer and staff present, and even some of the voters we spent like 5 minutes trying to de-escalate and negotiate Please either leave or vote, but stop insulting everyone and it’s finally when the voting office chairwoman took her phone to call the cops that this guy went away. (Thanks for the extra paperwork, because event though the cops didn’t have to physically remove a person out of the voting station, we know had to describe the incident in the report, at least it was a consensual decision for every official present)

On more banal stuff I’ve seen that tall/large gentleman on crutches who put the voting booth down when trying to enter inside.

It’s not just the season, but the idea of having to change all the clocks and do our life on hour earlier/later/whatever, so now when we leave work it’s night, and when we make-up it’s dark, but there is enough light to commute to work.

The Whole daylight saving time is stupid, especially when switching to winter time

What’s on the image? Can you accept to talk about it with your boss?

There is a big difference between a photo of Dr OP giving an invited seminar about some advanced topic, and OP wearing a German WW2 outfit “for Carnaval”

Not sure whether it’s today’s theme, but let’s get a reptilian pope

The pope is a reptilian, at the church altar, holds a golden cross, conspiracy theory

Which kind of games. From an Rpg perspective,

• Alice is missing a silent Rpg, which is played using instant messenging. That one is absolutely crazy, with a lot of potential for bleed

• Blade in the dark, which is basically the latest revolution in Rpg. And led to the FITD games, it kept the yes but partial success from previous generations of PBTA games, use long term actions (aka clock) for everything (same mechanics for opening a lock, seducing the princess or fighting a guard), and has this downtime phase which is more than just spending XP. It also has flashback mechanic letting you jump to the action and plan latter

• Mork Borg, the system is fine but banal. However, the weird aesthetic makes it a must have in a rpg lover collection

It’s been over 40 years that Japan has been massively exporting anime to the west.
People under 50 yo grew up watching Dragon-ball, Sailor-Moon, Naruto or one piece rather than Superman/batman
