I dont think that's the full story?

and in Houston, they'd been doing so outside Central Library downtown for roughly two decades. In 2012, the city passed a law against giving free meals to people in need without permission, but Mayor Annise Parker's administration gave permission to Food Not Bombs. That position was reversed by former Mayor Sylvester Turner.

I'm sure thats what he meant tbh. But shits still funny with the responses and his terrible wording

Yeah, when I talk to people about politics, mainly online, it seems like everyone is reciting things theyv heard/read without critical thinking.

Giving all the power to people that line up with your beliefs in office sounds nice, until they ban abortions and have gun classes for kindergarteners next election.

We need checks and balances to work, and local => state => federal is a real important part of that. I 100% believe we should be taking as much power back from the federal government as possible, while still staying the United States. They hoarded power and turned that shit into a reality show

I don't know Canadians government system well, but I do know it would be comparing to a completely different system. Either way, I'm sure there are benefits and drawbacks.

But in the last few decades, America has funneled more power to the President and the Federal government and I don't believe the government version of "trickle-down economics" is the right approach. For example, imagine a Republican held Federal government having authority over California. I don't think that'd have a positive outcome for the Californians.

Our local/state government is a solid structure, but my city of more than 100k people had 8k votes last local election. People should focus on local as much as they do federal, and I bet a lot more people would be happy with the governing of their area.

A unified set of standards that you like though, right? Not what the people you disagree with like? I have to assume you don't want Republican law choices to control every state.

United States was based of the idea of local and state governments united under a federal government, not dictated by that government. It's funny how in the 90s the New World Order was a huge fear, but but slowly seems like people online are leaning towards it now.

I'd imagine figuring out that "more to it" is the big leap that would satisfy the "LLM is not AI" people. Probability plays a lot into our decision making, but there is a lot more going on in our brains than that.

I'm still hoping that Neal Stephenson was right that they are also quantum connectors to every other versions of our brains through dimensions. That'd be cool

Do you want a Federal government that has control over everything?

I mean, it sounds great when you agree with the Federal goverment I guess, but people should focus more on their own local and state governments.

Those governments dont make as dramatic of TV though. So where peoples votes really count the most, most people aren't paying attention.

I am really convinced there is a Kagi marketing department dedicated to Lemmy. But if it really works that much better for you, that's great.

But I wouldnt only bank on the logic "the fact that it’s paid, I don’t have to worry about how they are monetizing my data". A lot of paid services still try to find ways for more money

Are you asking what it means? Large Language Model, if thats what you are asking. Its what people are usually talking about when they talk about AI.

It has no intellegence, but they can be impressive probability machines

Did Alex Jones ever hold a broadcast license for the fairness doctorine to be applicable?

Pretty sure he got popped a few years ago for his pirate radio. And then got popped with the biggest defamation fine ever.

They already froze his assets and are in the processes of collecting for the families. They already ruled bankruptcy is not an excuse not to pay.

The legal systems seems to agree with what you want the desired outcome to be. I guess the only difference is you want to government to be able to have full control over everything, so they can take it instantly?

I'm curious. What would you like "America" to do in this situation?

-20F? Where?

People should be more focused on their local and state governments, rather than thinking the federal goverment was designed to govern the whole population

a person from Virginia really has nothing in common with a person from California. Their lives and cultures are just totally different.

Seems like something the internet just says. Ive lived all over. I can find the same amount of cultural difference in a city, compared to states away.
