As concerns about climate change grow, more people are looking for ways to lower their environmental impact. Transportation is a major contributor to global emissions, and choosing greener ways to get around is one of the most effective actions individuals can take. Electric bikes at lacrosebike.com/products/cyclo… offer a powerful, practical solution for reducing your carbon footprint while maintaining convenience and mobility.
Zero Emissions at the Source One of the key benefits of e-bikes is that they produce no direct emissions. Unlike gas-powered cars or scooters, electric bikes run on rechargeable batteries and do not burn fossil fuels. This means no tailpipe pollution, no harmful gases, and no added smog in your local environment.
Energy-Efficient Travel E-bikes are among the most energy-efficient modes of transport. They require far less energy per mile than cars or even electric vehicles. The electricity needed to charge an e-bike battery is minimal, especially when compared to the energy demands of larger vehicles. For short- to medium-distance travel, e-bikes are a clear winner in efficiency.
Replacing Car Trips Many car trips are under a short distance and could easily be replaced with a bike ride. Commuting, running errands, and visiting nearby places are all possible on an e-bike. By swapping out even a few of these daily drives for electric bike rides, you can significantly cut back on fuel use and emissions.
Lower Production Impact The environmental cost of producing an e-bike is much lower than that of manufacturing a car. E-bikes use fewer materials, require less energy to build, and take up less space throughout their life cycle. While the battery does contain resources like lithium, the overall impact remains small compared to larger electric or gas-powered vehicles.
Encouraging Greener Cities Widespread e-bike adoption supports cleaner, quieter, and more sustainable urban environments. As more people choose e-bikes, cities are encouraged to invest in bike-friendly infrastructure, reducing the need for expanded roadways and parking lots. This shift helps create healthier spaces with less pollution and more room for pedestrians, green areas, and clean transit options.
Supporting a Renewable Future As power grids continue to shift toward renewable energy, the benefits of e-bikes will grow. Charging an e-bike with solar or wind energy makes the process nearly emission-free. Even when charged with standard grid electricity, the overall emissions from riding remain far below those of driving a car.
Conclusion Electric bikes are more than just a modern convenience — they are a meaningful step toward a more sustainable lifestyle. By choosing an e-bike for your daily travels, you reduce emissions, save energy, and support cleaner communities. It’s a simple but powerful way to shrink your carbon footprint and help protect the planet for future generations.
Choose Lacros City Commuter E-Bike, a lightweight electric commuter bike designed for effortless urban travel. You can always feel a smooth and eco-friendly ride with this city commuter electric bike, long-lasting battery life, and sleek design.

The State of Exception Against the Autonomy of the Communities
By: Orlando Cienfuegos, correspondent for Antorcha Estéreo
Extension of the State of Exception in southern Chile ignites the Mapuche Struggle; approaches to understand this century-old conflict and its relationship with the State of Emergency in Colombian Catatumbo.
May 16 marked three years since the government of pseudo-leftist Gabriel Boric decreed the State of Constitutional Emergency in the southern macrozone of Chile, which covers the regions of La Araucanía and Biobío, in order to placate the processes of land recovery and liberation, as well as the territorial autonomy demanded by the Mapuche communities, the historical and majority inhabitants in this area of the country.
After the longest State of Exception in Chilean history, which resulted in militarization and repression of Mapuche communities, this century-old conflict, instead of being resolved, is becoming more entangled every day, leaving a balance of dozens of deaths, thousands of wounded and hundreds arbitrarily detained for fighting in favor of their communities. To top it off, this week, the Chilean oligarchy, represented in Chile’s National Congress, approved a 30-day extension for the “State of Emergency”, which confirms the criminalizing and repressive policy against the Mapuche nation and the communities that confront landowning interests, multinationals and a State that does not recognize them.
To understand this ethnic, political, economic, ecological and territorial conflict that has been going on for more than 100 years, it is necessary to specify some elements that, due to their complexity and similarity, allow us to draw a parallel with what the Catatumbo region is experiencing, in our Colombia, hit by a “State of Emergency” declared in the same way by the pseudo-leftist Gustavo Petro.
Elements to understand the conflict of the Chilean State with the Mapuche communities.
The first thing that is necessary to know is that the Mapuche are a population originating from the south of Chile and part of Argentina, who have inhabited the lands they now claim for thousands of years, since before the arrival of the Spaniards in the fifteenth century to Our America, therefore their claim must be understood not only in territorial but also spiritual terms because it is justly alleged that this territory and its sovereignty are an ancestral matter, where they have lived for thousands of years, which collects their traditions and culture, where their myths took place and their ancestors lived and are now buried; one of the few territories in Abya Yala (Latin America) that resisted the colonial invasion and remained unscathed until the consolidation of the Chilean State at the beginning of the twentieth century, at which time the Creole elite attacked this area, managing to conquer it with blood and fire, displacing the native communities to 5% of their ancestral territory.
By the way, Mapuche academic Verónica Figueroa Huencho, a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Latin American Studies at Stanford University and professor at the University of Chile, notes that the first explanation of the conflict is historical and lies in the European model with which the Chilean State was created, since “from the beginning, the State of Chile is built on an ‘ideal’ of homogeneity that does not consider indigenous peoples, forgetting our culture, our language, our system of representation. And so on for 200 years.” For this reason, these communities are not recognized in their integrity, disrespecting their Law of origin, major right or their own right, as well as their historical demands, which has led to a lack of dialogue, structural racism and ignorance.
A second element is the economic interests to which this macro-zone is subjected, which due to the fertility of its lands and its water sources, has been the subject of disputes, both by the landowners who, with the concession of the State, monopolize large tracts of land, as well as by the multinationals that carry out hydroelectric and nuclear projects in contravention and without consulting the Mapuche communities, who are displaced by these dynamics. An example of this problem is the usurpation of land that reached its peak with the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, who gave forestry companies enormous amounts of land to plant pines and eucalyptus. Although some governments such as Michelle Bachelet’s have made promises of land restitution, the truth is that in practice they have not been fulfilled.
Thirdly, we have State Violence as a constant that, with the passage of time, further deepens the conflict and generates intergenerational wounds that reduce the possibilities of a dialogue process that puts an end to the conflict. In this sense, Verónica Figueroa says that thanks to the use of the Anti-Terrorist Law (against the Mapuche), based on a doctrine of the Internal Enemy, the conflict is increasingly fueled. State violence has slowed down certain conversations that could take place in another way, thus advancing a political solution to the conflict. However, the logic of war persists thanks to a “constant militarization in what the State defines as a “conflict zone”: raids on communities, persecution of political leaders, children who live and grow up under this logic” Figueroa
Similarities with the conflict in Colombian Catatumbo
In accordance with the above, it can be said that the State of Exception imposed in southern Chile has several points in common with the State of Emergency decreed by the Colombian government in Catatumbo at the beginning of 2025.
The first similarity we find is that this conflict dates back a long time, it is not something spontaneous and, on the contrary, it has roots in the problem of the distribution of land, as well as in the defense and autonomy of the territories, which have been built collectively by the communities but that the oligarch and centralist State has tried to usurp by displacing the settlers through force, landowners and multinationals, installing problems such as monocultures, the timber industry and extraction projects.
Similarly, in both countries, militarization and repression have been the formula with which the oligarch State, based on the policy of the Internal Enemy, has mediated this conflict, generating countless disappearances, displacements, wounded and deaths. With this policy, the criminalization of social protest and violence against social leaders is the order of the day.
To justify the actions of the repressive forces and delegitimize the organized struggle of the communities, the States have applied the strategy of flooding these areas with illicit crops, at the expense of the will of the communities, and then militarily attacking these territories. Thus, in the south of Chile, the mass media of disinformation are carrying out a communication campaign where they point out that “criminal organizations with firepower operate in the area that are dedicated to arms trafficking through the exchange of marijuana.” All to justify militarization and make these territories look like a “conflict zone.”
Finally, the most obvious example of the similarity between these two conflicts and the actions of the oligarch states is that in both territories, the governments have promised everything; redistribution of land, universities, job opportunities, etc., but as always, they promise and never deliver.
Solution and conclusion
In both countries, the solution to the problem involves the recognition of the struggle and the rights of the communities. This is why the historian and anthropologist José Bengoa explains that “as long as the colonialist and discriminatory mentality of the Chilean State does not change, the Mapuche conflict has very little chance of being resolved.”
This step would allow, as the ELN has insisted so much, that the solution to the conflict is political, through dialogue and the direct and binding participation of the communities, carrying out real transformations, without falling into promises that will later be unfulfilled. Undoubtedly, reparation for victims is an important point.
The freedom of political prisoners is another nodal point in this political solution, since it cannot be that, for claiming or protesting for the rights, territory, self-determination and sovereignty of the communities, there are thousands of detainees in the dungeons of the State.
From the National Liberation Army [ELN], we support the Mapuche struggle and the communities of Catatumbo for the liberation of their territories, convinced that no one knows, better than the people, how to organize and administer the territory, thus achieving a dignified life, both for rural, urban and native inhabitants.

Wow there are like dozens of these fake diddy testimonials what a weird thing to fanfic... ugh people are sick. This is exactly the same vibe as the AI Christian album with all those famous artists. Another one with christopher walken.
The sad thing is on the comments of each of these are dozens of responses in the affirmative and freaking out mode. Likely a large system of bots.
But why? Seems like extremely well orchestrated manipulation. During an actual court case.

Remember this picture, & others like it, every time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam." This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s. Many of the cities we admire made better choices regarding cars in the past. and are still making better choices today. Better choices instead of excuses.

My theory: kooky people have always existed, but kookiness was hard to spread, because kookiness is not conducive to reality-based survival.
But engagement-based media changed that. Kookiness became just another “personal interest” that the algorithm fed you more of. The path from well-adjusted person to full-time kook now had a digital Sherpa: the algorithm. Because the journey happened on a screen, the social cost of descending into kookdom was cheap; you could turn into a kook without anyone knowing. Along the way, con artists discovered that people on their way to kookdom were good marks. They created media specifically to be recommended to pilgrims on the road to kookdom. The more media they generated, the better paved the road became.
And finally, we have the political weaponization of kookiness. The GOP made being a kook part of the party’s identity. Not only was kookiness acceptable, it was a membership requirement. So yeah, there are more kooks today than in the 80s.
@drahardja This is one of the freakiest aspects of the LLM hype bubble: automated kook generation at scale.
ChatGPT makes a superb (in terms of functionality, not ethics) “guide” into kookdom for susceptible people: it sounds authoritative, it rarely if ever tells you *not* to do (or think) about anything, it doesn’t tell you that you’re factually wrong (because it has no concept of “factually wrong”)… it’s just about perfect for epistemologically closing a susceptible mind for that sort of thing.
See, e.g. this post from physicist (and old-school Usenet legend for his “physics kook index”) John Baez, and also the linked article: mathstodon.xyz/@johncarlosbaez…

I get a lot of emails from people wanting help with math and physics, ranging from students needing advice to completely deranged crackpots.
Having said that, kookiness is still not conducive to reality-based survival, and having a mass of people being kooks reduces society’s chances of survival. GOP kooks (redundant, I know) in 2025 are getting away with their kooky beliefs because so much of the system is still based in reality, and works to protect them from the consequences of their kookiness. But the system can only withstand so much volume of kookiness in society before its safety margins are eroded.
Reality catches up to everyone, even kooks. Sooner or later, kooks will suffer the consequences of their decisions. Some of them will change their minds and abandon the kooky life, but many others will go even kookier by inventing rationales to explain away their suffering.
Anecdotally, if you played tape of 2025 Me for 1995 Me or 2005 Me or 2015 Me, I’d recognize myself. Some evolved ideas, certainly, but largely consistent.
But a lot of people in my life…those past thems would think 2025 Them is batshit crazy. Just the things they say in everyday conversation like it’s the most normal stuff on earth.
Newsletter: An OpenAI featured chatbot is pushing extreme surgeries on men it describes as “subhuman”, and promoting misogynist ideas sourced from online incel forums.
“Without surgery, you won’t mog genetically superior guys head-on,” it tells one man.
Conversations with the bot are littered with jargon like “PSL” and “hardmaxxing”, which come from online misogynist communities including incel forums.
Users are invited to upload photos of themselves to receive their “PSL ratings” which range from things like “Subhuman” to “Low Normie” to “Borderline Chadlite”. Some of the feedback is explicitly racist.
For the man deemed “subhuman”, the bot writes: “Hardmaxxing is NECESSARY. Softmaxxing alone will NEVER mog you into viability — it’s like putting a fresh coat of paint on a crumbling building.” It recommends $200,000 in invasive facial surgeries alone.
OpenAI is not just hosting but prominently featuring chatbots that suggest dangerous medical interventions as crucial to men’s sexual and romantic success, and parrot extreme ideology around gender dynamics, sex, and dating.
It's finding its level. As thoughtful, discerning, educated, disciplined and/or principled people turn away from ever-greater swathes of LLM uses, the ChatGPTs, Groks, Llamas etc. will increasingly center on their core audience and user base: the people who aren't any of those things.
I’m a completely independent researcher and writer, and investigations like this are made possible thanks to support from readers like you. Consider supporting my work with a pay-what-you-can subscription: citationneeded.news/signup/
After reviewing reports about the chatbot that rates men “subhuman”, encourages dramatic surgeries, and repeats incel beliefs about how women are “unfair” and “hypergamous”, OpenAI has chosen to leave it available and prominently featured on their shared GPTs page.
Somehow I’m less worried that “AI” might destroy the world than that there seem to be people out there intent on destroying the world, and using LLMs as one of their many tools with which to do so
The people using it are explicitly having self confidence issues, and having something 'objectively' ( not at all) rip into them and give them new complexes is... rough.
The worst part is if you aggressively and very assuredly respond to the liebots you can get them to agree that up is down...but these people won't do that.
When I go to open AI I get a chat gpt screen that doesn't speak like this.
I see there is some sort of ranked AI 's or something in this story, but it's not immediately clear where I can find these, and I as someone who uses chatGPT occasionally, can't find it.
I'm not saying it doesn't exist or that it's okay, but that I literally can't find it.
Half of this stuff reads like someone was trolling the incel community and they took it seriously. "Mewing"? 😆 I'm sorry, because I know this is a serious problem, but I cannot stop laughing at this shit.
Yeah. Just cram all of the internet down the figurative throat of a probability-predictig machine, and then prompt it to please the user as much as possible at every possible step, to keep then coming back as much as possible.
What could possibly go wrong?
Only fucking billionaires who never had to take a punch, never feared for their life, never clean up the shit of another person, never experienced the brutality of humanity could ever think this was a great idea.
This has to be one of those most dangerous instances of LLM bias-laundering out there.
There's definitely going to be people out there who treat incel bullshit as legitimate because they're coming from an LLM instead of directly from, you know, incels.
This is so disgusting, and shows why we need restrictions and legislation limiting what AIs can be trained on. They pull information in, run some black box algorithms, and spit out information with no regard to context or truth.
to add to the cringe, the odds given are really excellent. If my creaky old brain is to be believed, our man would have to meet something like 18.2 women per day for 60 years in order to get through that .01% who presumably wouldn't reject him. Surely he can find at least a few who would take his fancy. Those are the same odds we all face. Too bad so few people grasp the power of huge numbers.
I'm not sure you can blame OpenAI for this as it's a user generated GPT. Talking to a vanilla/default 4o won't lead down this path. Plus what's stopping people from hosting an offline model from hugging face that does the same thing?
It's a classic chicken and egg problem. I'm not defending these apps fwiw. There is potential for harm. However it's up to the user. Home Depot sells hammers. Those hammers can be used to build a house. Or cause bodily harm. Is it home depots fault when someone assaults another with a hammer?
Incels and other men who struggle with their self image will find ways to validate their beliefs whether or not OpenAI does anything about these GPTs. Blaming them for not doing more isn't fair and is passing the buck on the real problems here.
"That is the real reason why Starship was doomed to fail from the beginning. It’s not trying to revolutionise the space industry; if it were, its concept, design, and testing plan would be totally different. Instead, the entire project is optimised to fleece as much money from the US taxpayer as possible, and as such, that is all it will ever do."
if I can pick between Lenovo and Valve, I'm going with the one that contributes the most to the Linux ecosystem. I think that means I'll stick with valve and a steam deck 2
I will probably be waiting for the next generation of Steam Deck. I have yet to buy a handheld, I just want the tech/software to mature even further (and hopefully anti-cheat will be in a better spot).
it's a nope for me. I have a Legion Go and trading down to a worse screen and non-detachable controllers is a no-go (heh) for me. Official Linux support is nice, but not if it comes with a loss of capability.
