I think that, without a specifier, it'll be beef or chicken gravy. Also it's not actual gravy, it's gravy-flavoured, which means that they chose a subset of the flavour chemicals that make gravy taste like it does. Much like "citrus-flavoured" it no longer matters what variety it is.

1. I agree with having to show up to get changes made. I brought it up because I'm not saying that we shouldn't vote for Democrats because they suck, a lot of non-voters (or third-party voters) think that way.
2. I mean, for a start, by not calling them left wing. You can't vote people out, you can only vote people in, and the people running as Democrats are usually centrists. I literally can't tell them through voting because the people who represent my ideals aren't in the race.

2026-02-03 06:51:53 UTC

- reply

Ooh, I'll disagree with "imagining something better is easy" it seems like it *should* be, but it doesn't seem to be in practice, especially if we say that Democrats are as left wing as we can hope for. We settle for the Democrats because that's the best of what's currently available, but we need to be telling them that we're not happy with them as they currently stand. I want to vote for actually progressive candidates, not just for the people who aren't literally evil.

2026-02-03 06:34:03 UTC

- reply

It's a bit like that, sure, but it would take a long time of everyone showing up to vote to actually make a difference. I can't imagine the DNC as it exists now, allowing candidates more left wing than AOC or Omar. There's only so much voters can do with the system that exists, and that turns people off voting. Personally, I'm a strong proponent of compulsory voting. Don't just make it easier to vote, make it harder not to.

2026-02-03 06:20:43 UTC

The Democrats are an organisation with a small (9 members) committee that determines the policies and direction of the party and a second, slightly larger (65 members) committee that runs things day-to-day. When was the last time you voted in a Democratic National Committee election? Or an Executive Committee one? They set the rules for how primaries and caucuses are run, they run the fundraisers. Average, everyday Americans get effectively zero say in the makeup of those committees.

Oh, absolutely, I'm definitely not suggesting voting for third party candidates, at least not at a federal level. There is *some* benefit, sometimes, to voting for a third party at a state level, and there's usually benefit to third party votes at a county and city level. As long as the system is plurality, Democrats will continue to get my endorsement, but I'll be damned if I let them off the hook for being centrists.

2026-02-03 05:06:28 UTC

- reply

I think I see what you're getting at. I think, though, that letting Democrats be called "left" lets them off the hook to be better. It makes it seem like someone having an opinion between the Democrats and Republicans is a reasonable position when, really, that just makes them a less extreme extremist. Democrats should be seen as the compromise, the centric position (even though they're more like slightly right-wing).

2026-02-03 04:41:48 UTC

- reply

I mostly disagree. By any definition, the Democrats are conservative, they maintain the status quo, only doing the minimum to show that they're better than Republicans, and they *definitely* are, don't get me wrong. Now, it's entirely reasonable to argue that conservative and right-wing don't mean the same thing, but they usually do. The closest the US has to a left wing, the Green party, is a joke, something to make the Democrats' centric stance more reasonable.

When you say "the right" do you mean "the American right" or "the right everywhere except the US"? Because *normal* moderate right are only slightly bigoted. The Democrats are moderate right (which hasn't really changed for their very long history, significantly longer than the party that calls themselves old), the Republicans are literal extremists, though they weren't always.

I'm pretty sure the definition of "Class M" would necessitate it being almost the same as Earth, if it's too different then it'd be a different class. Maybe N or L. Or maybe there are subclasses, like M₂ or Mₕ₄ or something. I know they've made mention of planets that "barely qualify as Class M" and even a few that were definitely other classes but were still marginally habitable for humans. Ok, just looked it up, the planet in Voyager's Muse (the Greek Thespian planet) is Class L.

So, when you said that you weren't defending the use of AI, that was a lie, as that's exactly what you're trying to do. You're using one example that is potentially ethically trained and claiming that invalidates the argument about how *most* models are trained, certainly all the ones that most people are using. You're also ignoring all the energy required to do the training when using a pre-trained model. Since your intention is not to make sound arguments, this conversation is done

2025-12-27 05:43:29 UTC

Yes, it *can* be trained with ethically sourced material, but it *isn't*. And it doesn't matter what hardware is used, it'll require similar amounts of energy. If you use low-powered hardware, it'll use less power (energy per unit time), but take longer.

There definitely is a difference. He presumably didn't steal the work of others to make it, he paid them. Nor did it require unconscionable amounts of power and municipal water to produce.

Someone who was significantly smarter wouldn't have recorded himself plotting a conspiracy and ordering crimes.

Yeah, I think Nixon was probably a narcissist, which Trump definitely is, but he was slightly smarter and probably not a psychopath.

Wouldn't the shell theorem come into effect here? The further down it goes, the more mass will be exerting gravity upward as well as perpendicular to the direction of travel. The acceleration curve wouldn't be parabolic, and would have a much flatter profile near the center. Then again, I suppose the same is true for the horizontal and vertical acceleration of the orbiting object.

That's really cool, and I've been looking for something like that, but the cost is pretty rough.

Maybe if I had bad arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome, it could be worth it. Thankfully, though, I don't.

The real-world equivalent of this is a false vacuum and the slightly terrifying false vacuum decay.

Democrats really aren't left-wing. A teensy portion of them are moderately left-wing, but taken as a whole it's a very moderately right-wing conservative party. Look at what they do when they're in power: they make a few showy but minor changes, but primarily maintain the status quo as handed to them by the very-not-conservative Republican party. If they were actually progressives, Obama would have rolled back EVERYTHING Bush did and then pushed forward.

I don't wanna be a debbie downer or whatever, but I definitely don't see that happening.

Maybe there'd have been a chance if it'd had another two or three decades of Clintons, Obamas, and Bidens, but I don't see it as it stands.

It's an important distinction as the only argument I've ever heard against compulsory voting is that it somehow impedes on an individual's rights. Even if they could somehow compel you not to invalidate your ballot, I don't see how it impedes anyone's rights. It's certainly less intrusive than jury duty (which people grumble about, but never actually suggest is a violation of rights), and *way* less than the US Selective Service System.

Profits are what's left over after you pay your employees, vendors, taxes, rent, bills, etc. So, why are profits the sole indicator of a successful business? Why isn't it "provide the best good/service we can while keeping as many employees as happy and content as possible"? If the primary purpose isn't to do what the company ostensibly does as best as possible (for various definitions of "best"), then why even bother?

What defines a private school if it isn't the source of funding? Surely a school that receives public funds is, by definition, a public school.

The mistake is considering the US to be akin to developed nations. It isn't. At one point it was developed, but over the last half-century or so, there's been a campaign to undevelop the country. Not just to hold back it's development, but to actively turn it back. The US is still more developed than undeveloped nations, but still doesn't really fit in with developing nations either because it's going backwards, it's in its own category, an undeveloping nation.

A long time ago I was taught never to pipe shell scripts from the internet directly into a shell. This was mentioned *repeatedly* so it stuck. Why, then, is it now becoming almost standard to provide "install scripts" in just this fashion?

Rather than narrating an audiobook, what if he, Cate Blanchett, and Morgan Freeman read the autobiography on their own and then did a ten-episode podcast series just chatting about it. Maybe David and Georgia Tennant also?

In all honesty, I don't think there really is a "bad" pentagram, it's just that, at some point, some Christians decided that the symbol was evil because it predated Christianity or something similar. Calling it bad is basically just bigotry wrapped in religious excuses.

It's probably fine, but just make sure the pentagram remains intact or the binding ritual might fail.

I feel like the threshold should be a lot lower. Does anyone *really* need more than a quarter of a billion dollars? But that's just arguing specifics.

My guess is that it's illegal dumping by cruise ships. It could be leaky municipal sewage, but I feel like these shitball events would be more frequent in that case.

That doesn't even work for Democrats, almost none of whom are actually progressive but are pretty definitively conservative. If that worked, we'd have had president Ocasio-Cortez long ago, instead she's labelled as "far left" rather than her actual political position as barely being moderately left. Bernie Sanders, another moderate leftist is likewise considered extreme.

They're not even good shapes to be used as a sofa, though I'll bet someone's made one. It's like how the breeders of red delicious apples focused on developing the "red" part of its description to the point that "delicious" no longer applies.
