I like to picture Jesus in a Tuxedo T-shirt, 'cause it says, ‘I wanna be formal, but I’m here to party, too.’

You know, Jesus did grow up. You don’t always have to call him baby. It’s a bit odd and off putting to pray to a baby.
Don’t get me wrong, I think that’s where the money should come from too. I just meant where else is the money going to come from in the current US healthcare system.
Unfortunately, we don’t live in a country where that’s the case right now. I think it is still a very good thing to donate blood, despite having for-profit/privatized healthcare.
Fair enough. If that’s the philosophy you want to live by, then who am I to say otherwise.
Personally, I’d rather help people the best I can in the world I live in.
But where does the money come from? It sucks that in the US it has to come from the patient, but that’s the world we live in right now. I think it’s worth doing all the good you can with the tools available at the moment. Even if it’s not perfect.
I’m just assuming you’re in the US. Sorry if that’s not the case and your country has a different situation.
That’s a terrible reason. You would rather a patient in need not have blood available than be charged for it?
There is definitely price gouging in blood. But it also requires testing, transportation, and storage before it can be used. The money for all that has to come from somewhere (unfortunately in the US it’s usually the patient).
Suno is a bit more active (just because it’s been around longer) and there are some hilarious songs there too. I Glued My Balls to My Butthole is one of my favorites.
I feel exactly the same way. I can now be creative in ways I couldn’t before. Sometimes I’ll use my own lyrics, sometimes I’ll use ChatGPT to write lyrics and I’ll edit. It’s really fun to play with the same lyrics in different genres too.
No worries, I just wanted to share a couple cool AI tools. Figured this sub was as good as any to post about Suno and Udio in.
I thought so too. It’s really fun to mess around with as someone who isn’t very musically inclined. I did a quick search on Lemmy and was surprised to see neither has really been posted about.
You’re right, SATA isn’t going anywhere for a very long time. If you have a need for 4+ TB of total storage there is nothing at all wrong using HDDs or 2.5" SSDs.
I stand corrected. There is literally no functional difference between “currency” and (at least some) crypto.
You literally just defined the attributes of a currency. The only difference is that crypto isn’t backed by a government.
Edited. See below. Apparently some crypto is government backed. There is no functional difference between traditional currency and (at least some) crypto.
“A police state keeps everyone safe”
…
“No wait, not like that”
The people most likely to be abused by police are the least likely to be able or willing to file a formal complaint.
It’s a high crime neighborhood because criminals live there. Or more precisely, because it’s a poor, gang infested neighborhood.
What you’ve said makes no sense. There are high crime neighborhoods like this all over the country independently of what Google maps does. There are also neighborhoods full of tourists that aren’t high crime areas.
Particular conditions, in this particular neighborhood, lead to these particular crimes occurring.
Did you reply to the wrong comment? I don’t think my comment is really related the points you’ve brought up.
I guess my comment was a bit vague. China is certainly currently interfering with our systems on a smaller scale. I was referring to a large scale, widespread cyber attack as described in the article.
It’s highly likely China is capable of of that sort of attack. But I don’t see how we’re more at risk of that happening now than any other military action.
Another commenter described it well as another theater of a potential war, not necessarily that a war is imminent at this point
That’s what it seems like to me. I don’t see China executing a cyber attack without being willing and able to follow up with military action. Preparation, as you said.
Tensions don’t seem high enough currently for that to be the case, but perhaps someday they will be. At that point we’d be facing an all out war.
That’s pretty much my thinking too. I mean, what’s the less biased alternative to get to the truth here? The law firm has an incentive to satisfy the people paying them, but they also have their own reputation to maintain.
So I guess I’d be inclined to skeptically believe their findings. Although, it would be better if the firm released their own summary (or endorsed this one).
