Wow thanks that is awesome, gotta remember that site. For rice I already found the 50lbs pack that also beats my local discount grocer (which is rare).
What pisses me off that amazon has made it's "sort by cheapest" completely unusable. You find 100 pages of the exact same ultra-trashy product or something related or a replacement part or something.
And here I am buying flour and eating pancakes all day long. Or potatoes. If only I could afford corn flakes!
True, but if you'd look at social media we might judge that they helped in a large part with the spread of fascism we see today. If that fascism leads to massive genocide there is a question: If the CEOs of social media deliberately or out of "malicious ignorance" help with that, aren't they at least partially responsible? Capitalists wield immense power while shielding themselves by arguing simplistic ethics like "I own it so I can do what I want, and people can say what they want" while obscuring predictable consequences of these systems.
And the current rise of fascism could easily create a much higher body count via nuclear war.
For example, if Elon Musk somehow manages to get Trump elected by manipulating Twitter (unlikely now) and Trump destroys the world, he'd be similarly guilty as Goebbels.
PS: I'm not really seriously arguing this, but I think this isn't completely without merit.
On the bright side, once AI actually CAN answer things like this we'd have "Artificial Ethics". A way to judge questions objectively or at least without emotional tempering for each specific case. This could solve some fundamental problems like "who watches the watchers" - we simply build the perfect watcher.
Of course we're far away from that yet. And then we'd just ignore our perfect watcher anyway 🤣
I've recently read a comment saying the great Chinese firewall somehow "learns" that you are using a VPN. So people doing quick tests "yep VPN works" but then a little later it doesn't work anymore. No clue if that is true though.
Yes, the Genocide Convention.
I believe even without signing it, other signatories still have to everything they can to prevent genocide.

How are the social laws in Korea for this? Like parental leave, healthcare, government support for kindergarten and schools, housing?
Don't do it... since God is infallible any contradiction would negate all of existence!
Yeah we should have, after promising Russia not to expand Nato "one inch to the east", almost IMMEDIATELY expanded Nato to the east. And then within 14 years be at their border. That would have destabilized the situation much more. If we only had done that! My point is that whatever we did to get to this point, we just should have done more of it.
Luckily we now get the war that was promised! And luckily we also get to do the exact same thing again with China and Taiwan! How great is that?
