even if someone WAS just lazy and simply didn't want to do anything but lie on the couch and watch tv, they should still have these things. it's irrelevant whether some people aren't actually lazy because everyone, including hypothetical lazy people, should have their basic needs met.

if we have the resources to do it, there is no defense of letting people die because they don't want to work, and much less because they can't.

Me: I mean depends on your tolerance for this type of racism, but like I said it's my favourite show, it def has some great parts if you're up for it.

Them: Oh so it's not racist.

Me: It absolutely is.

Them: So you're saying racism is ok??

Yes, because the Washington state government activated like a sleeper-cell and ruthlessly, systematically hunted them down and annihilated them.

“Y2K came to nothing amirite?”

Yes because an army of software engineers working around the clock, losing sleep, and busting ass till the last minute prevented it from happening.

“Remember the hole in the ozone layer?”

You mean the one that was fixed through rigorous world wide government action?

One of the root problems of our society is a refusal or inability by media to articulate that all those “it’s gonna be an apocalypse” disasters were not disasters because we collectively did something about them.

The good news is this is actually quite correctable. I maintain my firm belief that we as humans are capable of solving almost all of our problems, when we decide to do so.

And I still think that’s going to happen. I don’t know when or how, but I do know that abandoning hope won’t help bring it about.

Routine, treats, training, and time. Chickens when growing up go through skittish phases due to their place in the pecking order and the new hormones they are experiencing. When a chicken becomes a "teenager" suddenly the world they have been living in peacefully becomes a lot more overstimulating and scary as their brains make the switch to the survival of adulthood.

Typically this starts happening to the birds around the time they are moved out of the brooder and into the coop which can worsen the skittish behavior. It doesn't help that we might also do behaviors that reinforce their aversion even if we don't mean to. Poeple tend to spend more time with their brooder chicks then their grow outs once they are moved outside despite the grow out period being one of the most critical times for a chickens mental development. Genetics and breed also play a huge role in how friendly a chicken will be at maturity sometimes you can do everything right and still end up with a skittish bird.

OpenAI scraped the entire web. All of which had been a labor of love from humans. Wikipedia is the backbone of a lot of LLMs, and that was volunteer human labor. They stole it and now they're selling it back to us.
