Trump is as much for the 'proletariat' as Hitler was who hunted those who really were and had them executed. Trump's claim to act for normal people or the 'working class' is the same lie as Hitler's putting the term 'socialist' in the name of his party.

(Actually it's 1:140,000,000, but I guess the difference, in this case, is, despite significant, negligible ;-)

That's naive. Many if not most people know quite well how dim their chances are to win. In Europe, they're told before they can play what the probability for a class 1 win is, like 1:160,000,000 for the Eurojackpot lottery. But they also know that most lotteries spend a substantial amount of their earnings for good causes, so the money is not just lost (in Eurojackpot, I think it depends on which country someone's in, but it's things like sports, culture, humanitarian projects). And most of all, beside the actual playing fun like when teaming up with colleagues, it's the difference between a however dim chance and no chance at all to escape the reality of having to work a shit job until old age for too little money.

No idea why this gets downvoted. In many parts of Europe, cities are becoming or have become uninhabitable for normal people because rents and real estate prices are absurdly high. In some places, rental housing is either so scarce or so expensive or both that someone who wants to move there would be better off buying a flat or a house, which again is impossible for normal earners. That's why more and more people are demanding to illegalize vacant rental apartments and banning Air BNB and similar businesses altogether in areas with a housing shortage. Treating Air BNB rentals like any other business, on the other hand, with regard to taxes and everything else seems to me a rather mild means of counteracting housing shortages.

"AI needs us: living beings, producing constantly, feeding the machine. It needs the originality of our ideas and our lives" â" I somehow agree with the bottom line, and as of now, it seems AI feeding only on output of AI does degenerate, but don't we all need that, too, to develop our intelligence? The originality of the ideas and lives of those around us, starting with parents and siblings?

... is not, by chance, Takeshi's?

It absolutely is, but the prevailing economic system knows no other way to produce and distribute wealth (including the absolute basics you mention) without exploiting the vast majority of the populace for the profit of workplace owners who pay them less than what their work is worth.

Partisan? Of course, but you don't even seem to recognize that there are images to show the decidedly good aspects even just a bit of tech can bring into fairly bad living circumstances.

And "we don't always need to be depressed about the way things are going"? Right, but only because we rather need to be furious about it, because that would bear the only hope for them to ever change. And because, by all sensible standards, things are going bad for a majority of people on this planet, and even for at least large minorities in the so-called first world rich countries, in an economic system the mechanisms of which keep moving more and more wealth to small groups of super rich people and away from the large populations and especially from those already poor.

For anyone not themselves among those small groups of super rich it should be clear that being partisan towards everyone else should be what's necessary. You, on the other hand, seem to want to be partisan for those who want things to continue like they do, which means to let the super rich continue to amass even more wealth, wealth which is produced by the working people of their respective countries, and taken away from where it would be needed most.

:-D

I guess it does not even specify a concrete product at all. It is the generic concept of such a product, with existing products (implementations, e.g. interpreters) not being affiliated with Orache in any way, and I believe that is what the motion as such is about.

It's not just that they failed to adapt. At a time when it was probably mostly, but not entirely over, Microsoft effectively blackmailed IBM's software division into stopping marketing OS/2 to end users by threatening to stop selling Windows licences to IBM's hardware business. Something that only came out by chance many years later in another major antitrust case against Microsoft.

I thought there was scientific evidence that the switch to DST and back is NOT capable of saving significant amounts of energy – isn't that one of the most cited reasons for its abolition, beside what it does to people?

I still have a broken HP 95LX in my electronic waste box from someone who used to use it, it really used to be a great little device. If I had an idea of how to revive it, I might try, but I don't think I have :-/

It's complicated. Germany here. Two years ago, I changed from an ancient mid-range sedan with H4 lamps to an old mid-range sedan with H7 lamps (the original buyer didn't want to pay extra for Xenon). While high beam was brilliant, low beam was much worse than on the older H4 car. When LED upgrades became officially legal for my car this year, I immediately changed, and now high beam is excellent and low beam is very good; finally I can drive again at night without the fear to overlook something.

The general situation here is that the bright car lights – whether Xenon or LED – are getting ubiquitous and annoying, but not worse than that, if they're well enough adjusted and you don't look straight into them.

The biggest problem here is that more and more people just don't bother anymore to switch back from high beam to low beam in oncoming traffic, and in slow traffic on narrow lanes that can nearly blind you for some time. This is what really bothers me most.

It's obvious that "girls do bullying". That was not the question, and it is not even clear whether the original intent in the discussed case was primarily sexual (as in jerk-off template) or primarily harassment or a combination of both. It obviously became harassment, though.

And "girls do bullying" is not at all new, as you claim, and it has nothing to do with your "traditionally male areas", either, that's pure ideology again. You would have seen that already in, like, convent schools for girls in the middle ages.

And then, "we don't talk about toxic femininity" (what we really should define before even talking about it, it isn't widely used in the meaning you seem to give it) is a straight-out ideological lie, as you're proving yourself. Some, like you, try to make stuff like that the subject everywhere they go, even when there's not the slightest reason.

Sexism plus masculism.
