The French will never agree.

Their stance has always been, if France is threatened we will use every weapon in our arsenal.

They do not have end the world stocks of nukes like the US or Russia so their attitude is, “Fuck with us and we will end you.”

Yes. And 75% of car driver believe they are above average as well…

Capitalism also needs a functioning environment to continue…

Well, at least the front hasn’t fallen off.

Give them advice about how to do it to someone else.

The vast majority of people (i include myself in this) will fuck it up in some way and end up harming themselves. If you seek to destroy someone’s life and you don’t actually end it, you leave behind someone who has nothing left to lose and is highly motivated to find who is responsible.

If you destroy someone’s life they may end yours.

you eat dog shit?

You don’t notice when you step in dog shit?

No but only because I stopped using google search years ago.

It has been getting worse for the last decade.

Still worthy of pity

Not from me. They are adults, they made their bed. Their children are the real victims.

To be happy at other people’s misfortune is not ok.

I honestly don’t think this applies here. This is a direct result of their own actions. No one forced them.

To me this is a case of: You reap what you sow.

Did you read the comment you replied to or did you just spit out this pre-packaed reply that addresses nothing the original comment raised?

Not really. Just that consciousness is an incredibly complex thing that we don’t really understand.

Dissociation as a side effect of a medication I was on.

It is really hard to describe. It was as if I was a passenger within my own body and mind. I was watching myself do and say things with no feeling of presence or control.

Why is the British empire so aggressively hated right now?

You communicate in English, so the British empire will be the focus.

The colonies we had were far better treated than most colonies of the era, or ever to be honest.

Reads early Aus convict history and the extermination of the Aboriginal people. … Are you fucking delusional?

If you want to educate yourself on the subject I suggest reading The Fatal Shore and Aboriginal wars:

New book reveals sophistication of Indigenous tactics during frontier wars

The killing times: Australia’s map of frontier war massacres updated

We didn’t rape and pillage as much as everybody else so we were the GOOD GUYS!!

You are not to blame for the actions of past members and of the society you live in but to hand wave away the historical reality of colonialism is not helpful in any way.

Yes, every people’s history is filled with this shit, that does not make it better.

Simply put.

We wouldn’t notice anything.

Our perception of the world would be based only on the compute cycles and not on any external time-frame.

The machine could run at a Million Billion hertz or at one clock-cycle per century and your perception of time inside the machine would be the same.

Same with low ram, we would have no indication if we were constantly being paged out to a hard drive and written back to ram as required.

Greg Egan gave a great explanation of this in the opening chapter of his Novel Permutation City

Got a followup?

No?

Didn’t think so.

Were you expecting a reply while you typed the comment?

No, because the acetic acid (vinegar) will have evaporated as well. It will be slightly stronger but not 20%

Acetic acid boils at ~120 C so less of it will have evaporated than the water but it will still evaporate as well.

I know, I have seen them.

I was sysadmin for a Bankruptcy and Insolvency Firm for more than a decade and walked into 100s of businesses on the point of failure. Many of them could not be saved simply because their systems were so bad it was better for a buyer to buy their equipment and start with a clean sheet.

The ice cream business was going under because the partner who had been the access self starter had an argument with the others and had walked out 18months ago.

The access system ran the entire business (accounting and wages were on other programs but the db feed them data) and he was the only one who had any idea.

Shit started to go wrong and they had no idea what to do.
