"inclusive"? Would the clouds somehow let different amounts of sun in for different races?

Nice cherry-picking. Look at Bakersfield, Fresno, and Sacramento. Every time they go down by half, they go back to basically right where they started only a few years later.

But why do I get the feeling that you don't even live in this state?

Good on them and I hope they realize there are other things than tits and dick that their government doesn't want them to see.

Building much of the state over a swamp probably didn't help much either.

I don't think you've been following current events at all. Germany has decommissioned their nuclear power and the U.S. has been looking to build more of it. France has enjoyed much lower carbon emissions (and energy costs) due to their investments into nuclear power many decades ago.

What was "woke" about this movie? Just because a movie has a rock person (person of rockiness?) in it doesn't mean it's trying to subvert your value system.

Innate capability and not fulfilling one's potential by wasting time are really two separate causes of being 'stupid'.

To argue for the point, none of the inventions you mention have offered the promise of doing your thinking for you.

I can see both sides but definitely some people will never achieve depth on any subject if they're asking an LLM to present a surface level analysis.

Yet some may say if an LLM can do it that's not what Humans are best at.

Predicting this future witht any certainty seems like the most Dunning-Kruger possible by the authors.

Life on the planet in general is better now for more people than it ever has been in human history. If 60% of the population is a paycheck away from homelessness (I doubt this is even close to true, but you've provided no source to argue with) it's because they're bad with money and are spending more than they need to.

Somehow average intelligence increased during all of the decades when people were much worse off than they are now. Were the previous generations that lived through a decade long depression, world wars, and the threat of nuclear war between the east and west dealing with less difficult and more certain times than we are now?

You must suffer under a lot of stress yourself, but I think much of it is self-inflicted.

Did you notice his handle?

It might be a reference to how Biden broke his foot 'pulling his dog's tail in the shower'.

German Shepard, but the GP probably would have to ask ChatGPT what the difference is.

I can't imagine loving a politician who doesn't even know me but some people are weird.

Already provided it earlier, dumbass. Here, I'll do it again:

Notice there's a lot more than LA listed in that.

Florida? Try living in California. You'll see much weirder shit on a daily basis.

That's drinkypoo, by the way. Notice he's out already. That's California baby!

I knew you'd get the ritual beating reaction here, lol

You are of course right though. Life is much simpler, safer, and happier if you only have sex with your own spouse.

You're orders of magnitude more likely to be molested by a public school teacher than by a priest.

After the scandal, the Catholic Church cleaned up their act and rates of abuse sharply declined. Every person who interacts with a child in any capacity - parents, youth ministers, and yes priests - must follow strict guidelines and is monitored.

By contrast, 10% of all public school chlidren will be sexually molested or abused by a public school teacher or administrator.
Best estimate is a 'factor of 100 times' more likely today to be abused in a public school than in a Catholic church. The crazy thing is that even at its worst in the 1970s, public school teachers were still 3x worse than the Catholic Church - but that doesn't fit your narrative does it?

As far as I can tell, it was the Environmental Protection Act above all else. If you believe otherwise, then explain why California is such a laggard here.

I never said my decision-making is based on that. However, a large contributor is how much the politicians here talk up a storm about their environmentalism, but when it comes to doing anything about it, all I've ever seen from them is either inaction or greenwashing.

Meh, you just restore it from your last backup. Or did you give the AI access to that as well?
