The question was, would they make that exchange?

I don't believe they would, because #1 and #2 affect their political power directly and the left is ONLY about power.

You can see their reaction to Mamdani saying he as black (i.e. no big deal to them, because he's a communist) versus the reaction if it was anybody else.

Generated Summary:

Main Topic: The video discusses Peter Thiel's interview where he hesitates when asked if the human race should continue, and Glenn's reaction to Thiel's views on transhumanism, AI, and the potential dangers of unchecked billionaire influence.

Key Points:

  • Thiel's Hesitation: The video starts by referencing Peter Thiel's interview where he seemed uncertain about whether humanity should continue.
  • Transhumanism and AI: The discussion explores the transhumanist philosophy prevalent in Silicon Valley, focusing on merging humans with technology and AI, as exemplified by Mark Zuckerberg's vision of brain implants.
  • Autism and Conformity: Glenn discusses Thiel's perspective on autism, suggesting that it can provide a detachment from societal norms, fostering innovation.
  • Billionaire Culture: A significant portion of the video critiques the culture of Silicon Valley billionaires, arguing that their wealth and power, combined with constant flattery, can lead to detachment from reality, dangerous levels of self-confidence, and utopian/dystopian visions for society.
  • Essentialism vs. Nihilism: The video touches on the philosophical implications of transhumanism, contrasting it with essentialist views of humanity and raising concerns about the potential destruction of what it means to be human.
  • Lack of Debate: Glenn expresses concern about the lack of societal debate and safeguards surrounding the rapid advancement of AI, driven by billionaires with unchecked power.

Highlights:

  • Glenn's concern about billionaires' ability to reshape society without proper debate due to their wealth and perceived brilliance.
  • The discussion of Thiel's autism and how it might influence his unconventional thinking.
  • The comparison of mind-altering drugs to autism as a means of achieving transcendent thought.
  • The critique of Mark Zuckerberg's vision of brain implants and the potential implications for humanity.

The tragic death of 32 people in flash floods in Texas was due to rainfall probably magnified by the effects of the climate crisis.
The disaster was made all the more likely by the gutting of weather service and other government agencies built up over decades to keep the population safe.

Gee......This all looks familiar..

Where have we seen behavior like that before?
Where have we seen signs like that before?
Where have we seen people like that before?
Where have we heard complaints like that before?

Yet we're always told that this behavior is 'grassroots' and spontaneous..

This behavior and these actors are a cancer. Treat it accordingly and excise the cancer before it kills the body whole..

In einer Gemeinde im Jura dürfen Ausländer (korrekt: Personen ohne Wohnsitz oder Arbeitsplatz in der #Schweiz) nicht mehr ins Schwimmbad.

Die Franzosen würden sich angeblich zu schlecht benehmen.

What a stupid blog post. 1Password is closed source. As pretty as it is and as much marketing hype they're able to buy you will never know if there is a backdoor in it.

That alone should disqualify it from any consideration in 2025. Full stop.

Preventing Asian Citrus Psysllid

I have a small lemon tree that was bought from a local grower and came with the extra bonus of an Asian Citrus Psysllid infestation. The tree is dead now and I'd love to get a new tree, but want to make sure I've done everything I could to prevent a new tree from getting infested by any Psysllid still in the area.

Is there anything I can do to treat my soil or surrounding plants to make sure those little buggers aren't going to keep coming back? I'm in California where the sale of IMIDACLOPRID products is banned, which was previously the primary treatment for this.

In all seriousness, you need to contact your local university agriculture extension. Like right now.

This is a huge problem this generated from unlicensed growers, and they are shipping this all over the country, causing massive outbreaks.

Unless you live in an area with an abundance of Mantids or Wasps, I don't think there are any other means of control aside from harsh pesticides.

Call your local extension immediately, tell them where you got it, and have them come visit to treat if necessary.

Discussion - Potential piefed instance in the future?

Hello m@teys,

I've been waiting for this a long time (half a year), personally. After seeing the surge in piefed instances, i.e. blahaj, .ca, .zip, quokk.au, and .world creating their own instances, and clients guaranteeing future piefed support, we've been thinking about potentially opening an instance in the future. Not a guarantee, just an idea. This isn't a voting thread, just a discussion. Later on we'll actually vote on this.

Do note that this thread will not guarantee an instance; we are discussing a hypothetical. Suggestions? Ideas? Criticisms? make your voice heard.

Have a good week!
