Can a thing not be discovered multiple times?

Yesterday.

Yes. Distant galaxies that are moving away from us at relativistic speeds exhibit measurable time dilation in their inner workings.

How would you even measure time dilation in a distant galaxy? Consider standard candles like 1a supernova, which explode with near uniform power. These supernova can be observed from intergalactic distances. Gather data and record the times for various supernova explosions. You’ll find that the same types of explosions take longer in more distant galacies, and that the extra time is exactly what relativity predicts.

Eh, they’re half right, and C’s get degrees!

Servant, bring me my bejeweled ass-scratcher immediately!

…

*Very good servant. Now use my bejeweled ass-scratcher to scratch my bejeweled ass."

You think they have no employees at all? BYD had over five times the employees than Ford! And subsidies? In the US, we bailed out our auto sector during the Great Recession and heavily subsidize our auto sector via tariffs. Plus no car plant had been built in a generation without heavy state and local tax breaks and subsidies.

Seriously. What are you smoking? Cause I want some.

“They’re just heavily subsidized, not actually beating us!!”

Pure cope.

All auto makers are heavily subsidized, US automakers most of all.

And yet, the birth rate has only declined further.

People always point out that China “isn’t really a Communist country.” And while they certainly are different from the days of Mao, they forget that, from the beginning, the goal was to treat the market economy as a means to an end. The CCP values market economics because it allowed China to quickly industrialize. They don’t value capitalism for its own sake; they view it as a necessary evil.

Because of this, they’re able to do the kind of long term industrial planning that is unthinkable in the US. And there’s ultimately likely to be a lot less resistance to mass automation in China than in the US. If the state owns all the automated factories and distributes their goods fairly to all, why oppose automation? Automation is only a bad thing if it represents losing your livelihood, your method for keeping a roof over your head.

Then the goal should be to make paying low wages unprofitable. If enough warehouses burn, eventually insurance companies will consider warehouses that pay poverty wages to be uninsurable.

Yes, you can pretend that these costs can just be past on to consumers, but prices are already set as high as the market will bear. They can’t raise prices without eating into demand. If it was possible to easily raise prices and still have their goods sell, those prices would have already been raised.

The historical union movements that created real change were concurrent with campaigns of arson and violence. Some bosses had to have their head caved in with a lead pipe before they agreed to bargain with the union.

Good dick also makes men make stupid decisions!

Dated a trans guy for several years, thought I would marry him. Paid for his top surgery. Got it done at the same time I got my bottom surgery. We broke up a year later. Don’t pay for someone’s medical treatment unless you’re married to them. :/

That’s easy enough. But for the love of god, don’t morph into colony insects like ants or bees!

Impeaching would be a pointless game.

You’re hallucinating Claude.

Throw enough fat at a problem and you can solve it.

We’re talking about people who openly commit multiple felonies on a daily basis. They’re openly practicing mass bribery and insider trading. They routinely murder random civilians in the Caribbean. They’ve been openly flaunting the law on Congressional appropriations from day one. They are a criminal organization.

Faking an assassination is a minor item on their already extensive rap sheet. When they’ve already committed dozens of murders, what’s a fake assassination at that point?

The truth is lemmy really does have a misogyny problem. The progressive zeitgeist is mostly on economic matters.
