  • One billionaire uses more water than every home in Los Angeles combined. To grow almonds. 80% of which are for export.
  • 10% of all of Arizona's water goes to grow alfalfa for cows in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere.

We're in a drought, sure, but it could be mitigated, if the capitalist class and their lackey politicians actually gave a fuck - but they do not appear to.

Huh. I kind of liked it. I've only seen a few episodes, I don't watch a lot of TV, but Phoebe particularly cracked me up.

Holy shit now I know why John Cena always seemed so familiar!

If you primarily read it on a desktop or laptop, which I think a lot of old.reddit users do, it's just better. Same reason I use old.lemmy: improved readability, more compact, less wasted/whitespace, less scrolling, it's just easier to consume.

Oh I don't disagree, just that the first two seasons had a significant amount of cringe that smooths out by season 3.

As with most shows, the first couple seasons are the weakest, but the show overall is just fantastic. It's a must-see for scifi fans.

Or... hang with me here - I only just used one at a time.

Truly you have a dizzying intellect. I don't know why I tried to pull one over on you. It's ridiculous to imagine that users with the names "AgentSeven" and "Supervisor194" would be in any way related.

Sure, although I would phrase it I think a bit more pointedly: "it has become impossible to tell managers mesmerized by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, capable of what they imagine they are capable of."

This points, rightly, at it being a failure on the part of the managers - not artificial intelligence. And God knows that's spot fucking on.

It has become impossible to tell managers mesmerised by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, helpful.

This is stupid. The tools are helpful. Overhyped? Sure. But to pretend they are in no way helpful is just wrong.

I just moved to lemmy.zip from dbzer0 and before that, world, mainly because I want to be the one blocking, I don't want my instance to block for me. I must not be subscribed to the right places, because I just don't see a whole lot of CCP/RUS apologia? I'm pretty good at passing over shit I know I won't agree with though, so it might just not be registering.
