the whitepaper keeps acting like cooling all this computing shit will be easier in orbit and I feel like that’s very much not the case

The US famously does not use FPTP for presidential elections, but instead uses an electoral college.
Which is objectively worse, but apparently Yud thinks it's better than FPTP? Since FPTP is "the worst".
in late 18th century France ended the dynasty of their Chief Executive
Famously: below 60% approval!
Hey, we now know that you can even become a VP pick if you grift hard enough, there are real prizes to be won now
(ChatGPT was incapable of understanding the question.)
Love that even the bullshit word salad machine gets confused by Yud's level of bullshit word salad.
Parliamentary Republic is a government system not a electoral system, many such republics do in fact use FPTP.
AT LEAST IT'S A REPUBLIC NOT A, TFU, DEMOCRACY
sorry I just love how those people cannot understand literal primary school level political science
Which just adds to my point that this ordeal with giant graveyards is entirely unnecessary, just do whatever else.
Maybe go back to funeral pyres on boats? That was at least cool.
Can you ‘abuse’ a toaster
Of frakkin' course you can't! They're not human!
Like look how much space this random municipal cemetery in Warsaw takes:
That's bigger than some living districts. And for what?
Like do we really need this system where each family has to buy a plot of land and spend a truckload of money on a big stone monument, with the implied social pressure of having the prettiest shiniest one because otherwise what, you don't love your dead ones enough?
I don’t disrespect the dead (not conscious).
To be completely serious, the only ethical reason for caring about the dead in any way is that there are living, conscious people that care about their memory and it would upset them. Otherwise there'd be zero reason to treat the dead with any more respect than other biological waste.
All the other parts are normal and practical (why waste time or energy bothering animals or insects if you have no business in them? that hurts the ecosystem for no reason; why destroy your own useful property?), but if there was no ethical reason for not "disrespecting" the dead then we should, as a matter of policy, turn it all into fertilizer and put the unusable parts into a trash compactor so that no precious land or resources are wasted on cemeteries and shit.
You can disagree with that, but I don't see a way to make an actual rational argument against it without invoking consciousness one way or another.
Just to be clear I don't deride people who treat dead with reverence, you do you, although I think we could have a discussion about how much space is taken by burial grounds and the frankly gauche nature of some of the tombstones.
I always half-ass my captcha and try to pass in as many false answers as possible, because I'm a ~~rebel~~ cunt.
