Despot means you have absolute power. It doesn’t mean you use it badly. It just means you have the potential to.
Sometimes. And when they dont, there is no one to stop them. It’s the age old problem of a wise despot. Just dressed in different clothes.
Me: Please let me know how many homeless people each church would need to host to help all the homeless people
ChatGPT: Each church in the United States would need to host approximately 1.87 homeless people to accommodate all the homeless individuals in the country.
That is truly absurd!
Say hello to the light cone.
If true, I wish I could give you more than my sad one up-vote.
So… YouTube Premium.
Agreed. Check it out.
Multitask. Listen to a podcast AND do what you are doing now. Can’t be many people that sit down, focus and say “I’ll now listen to a podcast and do nothing else”.
Always was.
All very true but missing one point. Most (all?) current “regular currency” is fiat (let it be done) with no backing except tax payments and government spending. Sure, that’s not nothing but it’s also not so much something.
Crypto, as fiat currency, has the value people ascribe to it. If it can be traded for goods and/or services, it has value. What value? Only time will tell.
I was just waiting for the n900 whining so that I could join in. Damn, I miss my n900. It had flaws but for its time, it was amazing. With a good CPU, I’d buy it today in a heartbeat.
Used to be true. See countries affecting populations in foreign countries. Propaganda is not local.
That being the point of the quote…
“turgid prose”. Way to keep a similar tone.
It refers to the part that makes it into Europe and is thus Europe’s supply. Even stretching it, it supplies Europe and is thus Europe’s supply. The possessive form does not indicate control over all or part of the supply.
My water supply comes from the county. Your air supply comes from, well… the air, or the Earth.
If Europe still was the colonial power it once was, you might have a point. Not a semantic one but a “bad choice of word”-one. But it’s not and so you don’t.
Finally someone that commented with a keyword I could search for in my settings (Samsung). Thank you!
Upvoted because “ddged”. Wonderful. 😊
Exactly. Which is why a despot is not wanted. Much better with a small revolution every now and again; i.e., an election.
