WildPalmTree , to News in The Ten Commandments must be displayed in Louisiana classrooms under requirement signed into law

Me: Please let me know how many homeless people each church would need to host to help all the homeless people

ChatGPT: Each church in the United States would need to host approximately 1.87 homeless people to accommodate all the homeless individuals in the country.

That is truly absurd!

WildPalmTree , to politics in What American Fascism Would Look Like

Maybe "begs a question" but not "begs the question".

Today's PSA was brought to you by Novartis; bringing pills to people since 1422.

Sharpener or edge-straightener?

WildPalmTree , to politics in Biden says US won't supply weapons for Israel to attack Rafah, in warning to ally

I'm sure many people will tell you the same: not voting for Biden is the equivalent of voting for Trump. Play it out in your minds eye; explaining to your children why you voted for Trump.

WildPalmTree , to Ask Lemmy in How long have you gone without being in a romantic relationship?

Short but to the point comment: at 22, you have more than 10 years to have children. Probably closer to 20. Release yourself from the invisible trap you are in.

WildPalmTree , to politics in Trump slurs words, struggles to gain crowd enthusiasm as he takes to campaign trail

It served its purpose though. It created a union.

WildPalmTree , to politics in Trump slurs words, struggles to gain crowd enthusiasm as he takes to campaign trail

It did make sense, but I understand why it might not seem like it to "modern Americans". In fact, it's quite an interesting mental challenge of putting yourself in someone else's shoes.

We have a similar issue today in the EU. Do we base it one "one country, one vote" or on "one person, one vote"? Both sides of the argument is valid. Why would small countries join if they give up complete independence to the giants? I imagine the situation was very similar when the US was formed.

I think the flaw in the US system is they failed to forsee that states (or rather, people) would see themselves as one country and not a collection of countries. There should have been a time limit on the discrepancy of voting power.

Sure, for a hundred years, a state is where your loyalty, your feeling of self, your center is at. But as time moves on, you are less an Ohioian and more of s USian. Similarly, I would hope, you are less of a German and more of an EUian.

Neither blocks seem to have taken this into consideration but it makes it none the less true. Future generations paying the price for previous. Yada yada....

WildPalmTree , to Fediverse in fucking beautiful. almost a year into the 'verse and its starting to become more functional than that R place... better than i imagined.

WildPalmTree , to Technology in Reddit power users balk at chance to participate in IPO as Wall Street debut nears

Are you sure? Not saying you are wrong, I've just never heard about that or thought about it in those ways. Either way, in this scenarios it's not really public any more, is it?

At least for EU residents, they are legally obliged to show what data they have on you and let you delete it. Should show well enough if they keep data for other non-EU people. At least if it turns out deleted content is still retained.
