Carbon offsets are capitalist in the same way that Catholic Indulgences were pious.

I like how it qualifies it with “most” of the array.
51% of the time, it works 80% of the time!

>Think of the short time window that a person is a teen and now cram two or more kids in that window while STILL not knowing where babies come from.
...do people really believe that modern teens don't know how babies are made?

Reply to comment by ProbablyASithLord in I don’t understand the reviews of Fatman (2018) Vs. Violent Night (2022) by ProbablyASithLord
It’s definitely part of it. Violent Night didn’t take itself seriously - Fatman did. Mel Gibson sucked the fun out of it.

Reply to comment by astro-kiki in Science as a moral system by CartesianClosedCat
Huh? Science is a tool, not a ascetic priesthood. Businesses are historically one of if not THE greatest utilizers and drivers of science. Claiming otherwise requires a ridiculous amount of gatekeeping as to what constitutes “real” science, and that just makes one sound like a bitter mathematician who gets angry because someone figured out a real-world application for a “pure” theoretical model.

If he’d gotten NS2 up and running a year or two earlier, it might have worked as he planned.

Reply to comment by mavdoru in New analysis of 142 influential films featuring artificial intelligence (AI) — from 1920 to 2020 — reveals that nine (8%) of 116 AI professionals were portrayed as women by marketrent
I’m in the field. 8% is probably a generous estimate. I’d guess 5% is closer, but it’s easy to fudge numbers by including tangential business fields. One of my friend’s wife describes herself as “being in AI” because she’s on the sales team for the AI group. You could probably get close to 25-40% depending on how much you want to fudge.
