All of project 2025 is the fascist declaration of war. When the heritage foundation architect said “the revolution will be bloodless, if the left allow it” he meant they will murder everyone who opposes their Christian fascist dictatorship. Everything left of fascism is “the left”.

This was the intended outcome. Our politicians don’t work for us. They work for capital.

Username is accurate

Failed state is collapsing. Here’s Tom with the weather.

then why say anything?

“Is anyone a doctor? We need a doctor!”

“I can help! I am, in fact, not a doctor! You’re welcome!”

No. I’m not a doctor but have investigated due to family diagnosis. All of the studies I’ve read fall under correlation and don’t offer concrete causes, nor solutions beyond exercise, eating well, and getting good quality sleep… I do none of those things, so I’m fucked.

Definitely don’t look into the history of genocide then, because there are dozens of them in recorded history, and every single one is littered with the most indefensible horrors imaginable.

Also, Macklemore released a song titled after the resulting student protests, not long after.

Yeah, storage/bandwidth is the overall limiting factor regardless for 8k. Also, most peoples xp with 4k is streaming, so there would likely be 100x more of a market for increasing bitrate from the current “compressed as all fuck” up to 4k Bluray bitrate, before anyone cares about 8k… but of course, that isn’t something that TV manufacturers can control or use to sell more products.

AI or real?

The real reason for lack of interest is streaming quality of 4k has been getting worse for years, and is still like 1/10th the quality of 4k BluRay, with enormous levels of compression and artifacts.

8k requires 4x the data. We all know that means every subscription would charge at least 2x more to maintain profit margins of unlimited growth for vulture capitalism, and they’d skimp on the extra data too; leaving users with nothing better than the current 4k.

I don’t “trust” tankies, because no authoritarian can ever be trusted, nor do I trust lemmy. I just prefer to vote with my content/wallet, and Reddit showed the world they don’t deserve their user base, or any of their content.

This is an open non-profit platform anyone can scrape. That’s good enough for me, until something with a better value proposition comes along.

We could try slingshotting it round the sun a few dozen times and really fuck em up.

Countries are not run in their best interest. They are run in the best interest of their ultra wealthy.

It’s like saying the birthplace of antifascism was Fascist Germany or Italy… Like, yeah… It be like it do, because of how it did?

What’s funny about this is you’re going a long way to imply the father was a fascist/Nazi, when growing up in Alabama in the 50’s is all that’s needed to turn a child into a racist, fascist piece of shit.

Heritage foundation isn’t a Nazi respawn. It’s the American born and bred fascists who have been in America all along. Either way it doesn’t matter. They’re fascists through and through, no different to the nazi’s.

People are not having kids because they believe their children will be worse off than they are; that persistent inflation, natural disasters, famine, resource wars, actual wars, austerity, mass migrations, fascism/feudalism are all but guaranteed for a majority of humanity over the next century.

Barely anyone believes or cares about us going completely extinct.

Ignorantly believing there will be minimal consequences to our unplanned terraform is why we are in this mess. The problem is not simply “climate change”. Ecological collapse is a much larger concern. We are significantly altering the chemistry of the entire biosphere; the atmosphere, land and ocean with literally thousands of chemical compounds. We have killed off ~70% of the natural worlds macroscopic organisms over the last 50-100 years, and are already at the point where 95+% of all animal biomass is our livestock. We consider species “not endangered” if there are like 10k of them. Does 10k humans isolated to one geography sound like a healthy, extinction-resistant population?

It’s not gonna be 2.7c by 2100. It will be 3-4c. We were told we wouldn’t hit 1.5c until ~2035 and we’re already there — as I’ve believed for over a decade, because I actually listen to scientists instead of fossil-fuel-operated political orgs like the IPCC — and we’re on track to blow past 2c before 2050. ~25% of all Co2 ever emitted was in the last ~15 years, and another ~25% will be emitted in the next ~15. We can’t predict compounding feedback loops we know little about, or any of the many unknown unknowns that are guaranteed to exist.

I’m not saying the world will definitely be a “Mad Max inferno of devastation and death” — the entire natural world has already been through the majority phase of “devastation and death” — but everyone living today would almost certainly consider 2100 to be a dystopia.

I imagine flying drones around a head of states residence would be a fast track to terrorism charges. They’ve gotta be no-fly zones.

But we have calculators… everywhere

Behold the miracle of “motion pictures”
