Basically, if you currently own a home this good. If you don't, maybe rent will go down at the expense of being able to purchase a home. And deregulation may lower the cost of housing (at the expense of quality of life).

Enjoy a lifetime of never owning is what this article proposes.

Let's be honest, if their is a global conspiracy to spread disease I think it's to kill off the masses due to AI replacing jobs and lowering the amount of green houses gasses people produce.

> If you sprayed your skin purple and think it is tan, that is delusional. If you didn't spray your skin at all and now magically believe it is now tan, that is delusional. If you believe your fake tan is natural, that is delusional.

Good. So we understand there's a difference from a delusion and one branding themselves.

> And? That's not the claim you made earlier.

It was queried a couple times.

> Yes, we can observe delusional people.

Good. Maybe you understand the difference between someone whom is actually being persecuted and someone whom is suffering from a delusion. I'm glad you got there!

Using an analogy: If I believe that society sees those with tan skin as being more valuable and successful, and I spray tan in order to match that appearance, then I am delusional? (Regardless of whether I sincerely believe my spray tan is believable or not)?

> I did not make this claim

I mean, you specifically pointed towards the "left" in particular, multiple times... Whatever.

> People will delusionally believe fictional things as "evidence" that they are being persecuted.

We're talking about observing someone that's claiming to be persecuted...

Maybe they want to collect data on people using copilot in order to train copilot to be better?

I'm not sure I follow.

How is one pretending to possess a quality that is viewed by society at a given place in time as being "virtuous" related to someone suffering from a delusion that they're being persecuted and also related to someone actually experiencing persecution?

Furthermore, I am still confused how you can conclude it's tied to a particular area on the political spectrum.

To be clear, if there's evidence of someone is being persecuted then that is it likely real while in the absence of evidence it is likely that they are suffering from a delusion.

I think these things have potential to improve over time.

If nothing else I do like being able to get a relative quick explanation for how to change some obscure or minute functionality in the Windows OS.

Now, would it be better if the Win OS, by default wasn't obnoxiously in the way with the pretense of being "simpler"? Yes!

At least there are some truly free OS's out there that keep the interface consistent through iterations and generally improve overtime.

They often mention the environmental implicat of lithium mining. I wonder how that compares to the environmental impact of green house gasses though.

There is a disconnect. And information on how to properly insulate and isolate away from the voltages that you may be dealing is also easily found.

It requires maybe a bit of research but it's not impossible.

Are you also able to rebuild your engine and transmission? Service every sensor on board your car? Have access to a diagnostic computer and dicern those codes?

> There isn't enough materials on the planet

There is more than enough lithium on the planet for it.

Additionally, there's growing recycling technology and significant advances in battery technology and engineering the vehicle itself to be more efficient with the battery it's tied to. Structural and management systems for example.

There's also growing research and use cases for second-life applications for batteries no longer useful for an automotive application such as additional grid storage. Some key applications for this include grid balancing and lesson length of outages.
