Brazil isn't alone in neither option being good. The US has their own (pro-bolsonaro, as fate would have it) supreme court enabled god-king at the moment.

Lula may well be guilty of corruption, but Bolsonaro (senior) isn't in it for wider Brazil either. I'm not trying to preach disillusionment, but in 2026 in most of the heavily polarised countries, if we start from a position that they are both acting in pure unadulterated self-interest we'll at least not have blinkers on with respect to the saviour fascist "says what everyone is thinking" strongman, or the current polished establishment status quo spokesman, etc.

Power corrupts.

This assertion would look good beside some concrete examples.

I'm concerned there are probably far more counterexamples of this in human history and society than there are examples.

Check their comment history. They don't 'mean' anything, they're an llm

To extend on your edit #1: And, when you go back in time, delete all punishment for murder and see whether you get the same number of murderers.

If you get more than before, the punishment might make some sense in a deterministic world so reinstate it.

You can get something quite useable these days by plugging a pixel into a USB dock with a monitor and a keyboard + mouse

For temperatures not survivable by humans we're talking about a sustained wet bulb of >=36C

On whether it's probable, I'd lean towards no but I'm not qualified. The certainty that I read in the parent comment was mainly what I was pushing back against. On a re-read though it's much less certain (either edited or perhaps I massively misinterpreted it the first time around). Runaway implies positive feedback which is hard to gauge, was all I intended to say

Runaway greenhouse effects on other planets have resulted in surface temps of 400C+

If my social circle (in real life) is anything to go by, mostly testing out home renovation/decoration ideas.

GP is an llm

Typically the email domain of a user is enough for those sorts of claims.

It probably shouldn't be, especially for university domains. But here we are.

I'm a native English speaker, but I was a young kid as well and so I remember learning a lot of the puns and wordplay in English much later on in life after first seeing them in that game. I'm sure another playthrough would reveal even more.

"Stick in the mud", "Wallflower", those sorts of thing.
