dude … pls put that behind a spoiler tag. that is a serious infohazard there

i do think that “voluntary” is a pretty clear term. would you still do it if it didn’t cost you anything, and it also didn’t get you any physical reward?

The tendency of the rate of profit to fall will soon mean that an industry will stop producing said commodity. It can’t anymore if it’s unprofitable. This is where the state has to step in and start subsidizing that industry or buying the commodity themself in order to articially inflate demand in order to keep that industry afloat. See e.g. the “butter mountains” of the EU.

ahem i just so happen to be very familiar with the whole concept of the tendency of rate of profit to fall (TRPF) and you’re misunderstanding it here. it turns to be unprofitable in the sense that the profit rate approaches zero (for example, exponentially), it does not go negative! companies continue to produce stuff as long as the profit is larger than zero, which it always stays. so they continue to produce stuff indefinitely, according to the model. even though they make less and less profit with it. no state subsidizing involved here.

this is maybe a subtlety here. something can converge towards zero while also always staying positive. check out this function:

what you’re describing is just capitalism with extra steps

i mean, i only asked whether you go to work voluntarily, and whether it could therefore be considered vegan.

first time?

Because women only want what that don’t have. If they have big tits they want a reduction, if they have small tits they want a boob job, if they have blonde hair they want brunette, if they have brunette hair they want blonde, if they have curly hair they want strait…

Every… Single… Woman I’ve dated has bitched about something they didn’t have naturally. The same with men, all these women that “never met good guys” have, they just ignored them because they could have them.

i think there is a term from chinese philosophy … called Diyu is a state of permanent unrest, where the people can never find peace because they’re constantly driven by something that feels off … it’s considered the opposite of a calm, “fine with how the world is” so called “buddha nature”.

yeah last time i checked (january this year i think) lemmy had maybe 30k users in total (there’s statistics here: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/stats ) and it’s better than nothing but definitely has a higher ceiling than present.

7 separate posts to the community within an hour of each other

nah that’s fine. we need content anyways.

the user did post a whole lot of … icky content in the past (just generally bad takes about things, some unhinged things about religion, some “we’re better than them” posts). i’ve seen them a couple of times. username “grumpy” checks out

uhh, yeah, travel takes a whole lot of resources, but you’d only need to transport very few elements around, like a seed of a tree. and when you land on a new planet, you have more resources to utilize and go on. so your image is too limited here.

Declining birth rates and house prices dropping are both things the media love to make out are terrible things.

and guess who own’s the media’s editorial circle?

it wasn’t that much better during the cold war

the thing that was better back then was the future. things were getting better. meanwhile now, for many people, the future looks worse.

they feel wet, but it’s typically some kind of silica gel (i think?) instead of water that they’re soaked with

going offline to live in a hut in the forest?

coz of the shitty ai blog/info sites

SEO existed before chatgpt

yeah we have the same in europe for e.g. potato salad (price has to be listed per box and per kg) but that doesn’t apply to toilet paper i think … not a food item.

cannot confirm. have used chatgpt many times to check my physics homework (after doing it myself first) and it was basically correct about 90% of the time.

these were not standard exercises (i think)

were before they started just writing a mini-python script for every calculation and executing that.

i’m still not-in-the-know and i prefer to keep it that way
