This always gets to me.

"Contaminated water is a major source of disease, including cholera, dysentery, and typhoid. It is estimated that contaminated water kills about 829,000 people every year, making it one of the world's biggest killers. The cost to provide clean water and waste disposal for everyone on earth would be about $240 billion, or 8% of the wealth controlled by the 400 richest Americans."

He alone could fund clean water and plumbing to the entire world. Without changing his lifestyle at all.

Not one city.

Not one state.

Not one country.

The world.

Billionaires are disgusting and don't deserve to be called human.

"These programs combined would completely transform our world. By redistributing this wealth, millions of lives would be saved. Billions would be rescued from poverty and disease. By inconveniencing just 400 people, the entire human race could advance to a new, unprecedented level of development.

And all of them would still be billionaires afterwards."

You don't go up to someone and say hey I was listening to you complain about wanting a guy, how about me? and expect a good response.

It's rare, but it's not a myth.

Their base is casual gamers where it's basically the only game they buy each year. The cost is very small in those terms, and they don't want to be on the old version despite the issues.

Vegetables aren't even a thing botanically, they're basically "plant stuff that isn't fruit", except when it is.

Botanically speaking, vegetables can be roots (carrots, beets), stems (celery, asparagus), leaves (spinach, lettuce), flowers (broccoli, cauliflower) seeds (peas, beans), and of course fruits that we treat as savory (tomatoes, peppers, eggplants).

And then on the opposite side you have things we call fruits that botanically speaking aren't. Rhubarb is a stem, strawberries are aggregate accessory fruits where the fleshy part we eat is actually swollen stem tissue, and those little "seeds" on the outside are the real fruits of the plant. Figs are not simple fruits, they're inverted flower clusters where the "fruit" is actually a hollow stem containing many tiny real fruits inside.

Even apples and pears aren't true fruits botanically, they're accessory fruits where much of what we eat comes from the flower's receptacle rather than just the ovary.

So yeah the botanical vs. culinary divide works both ways. Our everyday food categories are really more about taste, texture, and how we use foods rather than plant biology.

You can already get AI strokers that apparently were trained on and sync to videos.

It's mostly just that. The whole thing was a mess. The atheists were told they would be debating a Christian and prepared as such, but he won't define himself as a Christian. So much time is wasted dancing around that. They had to change the title from Christian debates to Jordan Peterson debates. On top of that he will barely engage properly, saying things like he won't entertain a hypothetical because he wouldn't allow himself to get in that situation in the first place. Just generally not acting in good faith.

They could own a wii you don't know.

You're right, the literally 1000s of people going through there daily all tell the same lie. I get you need to follow the protocols of your airport regardless of what another one does. But it would be pretty bloody obvious other ones actually are doing things differently.

But... Don't they deal with people from all over the country and world constantly? Ignorance can't be an excuse at that point.

But by who? Musk has said he's trying to fix the way it responds. If he was just paying people to be Grok it would take some huge balls to dissent like that. He would immediately know who it was.
