A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Imagine how good one would be off if we had just 1 or 2 million in the bank..... apples would be like 5 bucks each but it would be nice for a good month. But anyway like how do we get say 500 bucks a week and they get 20,000? Or 3,000,000? Like how does that even make sense to anyone?

Time to return to monk
You and me baby aint nothing but mamals, so lets lead a revolution like on discovery channel
This song has to be taken in the context of its time. You see, discovery channel used to air documentaries and animal shows.
Hehe I like you
like and share if u would beat a billionare with a metal pole
I'd use a thin bamboo stick first, that shit leaves a stinging burn sensation on the skin
If anyone would like the actual article:
If I had the opportunity for some street justice on a billionaire I wouldnt fucking hesitate. That said, it would change jack shit. His wealth just passes to the next asshole.
In a hypothetical world where billionaires cannot go outside a security perimeter for fear of their lives, how soon would we see people refusing the inheritance or donating massive portions?
Can he trust his cook if it's a brown person? 🤮
It would change things if it becomes systemic. If they learn to be scared of being a billionaire, maybe they'd be less likely to want to become one.
I think they'd just hire more security. They have the money for it.
Edit: I agree with your sentiment though
It is enough to have one person doing the inside job, but this will escalate too and... welcome to modern Russia
Did you know, chimps don't have remote killing drones, armored vehicles, or nuclear weapons.
Well human do, and its usually not the average person that have posession of those things.
Average military pay is like 2100/month so I guess if the dudes in charge of the nukes/drones/tanks decide to stop getting cucked by business interests it would probably be fine.
Or decide not to kill their relatives. Like in previous revolutions ;)
That doesn't always happen, look at the massacres in South Korea before the end of the dictatorship.
The numbers on wikipedia are lower than actual numbers as questioning them could literally get you executed until the 90s. For example the official number for the Gwangju uprising is 165, but the city recorded an extra 2300 deaths above historical averages for May. That doesn't include thousands who were arrested, many of whom sentenced to death.
The government ordered the soldiers to shoot the protesters, and they did, and hardly anyone knows about it today.
Indonesia is also worth looking at.
Every healthy economy has a robust guillotine maintenance capability.
Nature is wise
Bezos might nuke us
This is honestly the reason why I don't think we can achieve a successful uprising anymore. Probably not a nuke, but drones definitely could and would be used to tear through even the largest of mobs if they formed today. Marie Antoinette would be happily eating her cake watching her people get mowed down by autonomous turrets if the French revolution happened today.
If it comes to that, which hopefully it doesn't, we should remember lessons from Vietnam and Iraq. The US Military might be massively overpowered, but it can still struggle against a well-organized insurgency.
IMO we are probably on the brink of the last possible society that can on a technical level. I would say, nukes, and even drone bombs etc.... are unlikely to be utilized, simply due to collateral damage, infrastructure damage etc....
However, things like the boston dynamics spot etc... We're probably a decade away from when 1 person can control an army of perfectly loyal soldiers.
Unless they're maintaining the software themselves, there's no such thing as perfectly loyal. In the past the revolutionaries needed to capture the armory, now they need to capture / subvert the servers / programmers.
Well we're obviously in the right place for that
Oh shit this just got a lot more cyberpunk lol. Now I'm picturing Boston Dynamics robots being hacked by anti-fascist black hats...
It's true... but with all things it's a matter of quantity of people you need to be loyal... IE one commander who agrees with the cause, vs 100 soldiers that could talk about it.
Plus, it's far easier to grow a concience on the field looking in the eyes of the children you are murdering, vs sitting in a computer or robot lab having no "need to know" what these robots do when they leave your office
If it's got that kind of capability, it can be hacked.
Naw it's white folk that want to get their magic cards
Naw. He can’t afford to lose cheap labor
lose ~~cheap~~ chimp labor.
Once they have AI bots it's game over.
It's alright, given the current performance of Blue Origin it'll take him a decade or two to get the missile working.
to get the missile working
If you know what I mean..
Not enough HGH in the world...
Eat the rich lol
