I've read that DVD is making a comeback. People can buy the movies they like on eBay for cheap and not have to pay a monthly fee or risk losing access to a movie they want to see that was previously included but now has to be purchased.

It can succeed. Just include the executive management in the layoff.

It's easy to reject: don't put your refrigerator on the internet.

I, Robot comes to mind as well.

Sounds like he was developing signs of what is conventionally known as schizophrenia. Based on the restrictions that they placed on him, this probably wasn't the chat bot so much as mom and dad at work throughout his life. The age this happened is in line with this as well.

Doesn't matter. Their study is flawed. 100% of beers contain dihydrogen monoxide. We still haven't figured out how to purify our beers from it.

Who says the chair is right? If he doesn't know what they do, that's on him for not knowing, and that makes him a complete idiot for not knowing what they do.He should find out before making these kinds of changes. Too many companies have folded because of that. See also Elon Musk and Trump cutting the federal government through random numbers without knowing what anybody does.

I'm remembering Lotus Improv. It had the audacity to compete with 123. One of the nice features it had was the ability to rename rows and columns, which in turn made formulas clear as to what math was being performed on a particular row/column. I never threw away my disks for it.

I didn't directly state his name, but the first thing I did was acknowledge that he was crazy to think such:

FTFY. Many studies say that it was largely global. At the time, most of the world lacked thermometers so there is little accurate data to go on, it's just attempts at intelligent guesses. Regardless, with your perspective, CO2 was generated by way of the industrial revolution. The industrial revolution hadn't spread beyond the northern latitudes, so CO2 densities would have stayed at the higher latitudes. The jet streams probably locked out the CO2 from lower latitudes. Human math creates perfect outcomes. Nature doesn't abide by these.

And still, is this still something so important that you want to start a civil war over? Do you really want some kind of gestapo coming around and enforcing the idea that people's sons are daughters? That's no better than all of the anti-Jew stuff out there that Kirk spouted. Even the libertarian perspective of "I can do whatever I want so long as it doesn't hurt somebody else" plays into this. Women not having their space because men are in there hurts them. Regardless, the correct perspective is, "I can do anything I want within certain boundaries." Those boundaries are set by society.

See my comment about boys in the girls room. Stoning is definitely crazy, but going to a therapist who helps unravel insecurities in manhood and womanhood helps a lot with this kind of shit. Having SJW parents preaching, "I'm not going to teach my children about gender and gender roles" goes down to one of the root causes. Another in parents not understanding this themselves and passing that ignorance down to the next generation. Now guess why their kids end up confused about gender and gender roles? I know this from personal experience with the latter. I wasn't born this way. I outgrew it through therapy. Finally, studies have found no genetic link to any of this, so yeah, it's psychological.

Leave your mom's basement and go hang out with people in the outside world. And stop with pushing/encouraging violence. You say this philosophically, but you clearly mean it as an intention. Democracies bring problems to the forefront, people get nasty about some of them, but their people find a way forward. Look at the 1960s. Sometimes somebody comes around and needs to be a dick. Team America: World Police explains this quite well.

The left pissed off too many people with boys in the girls room combined with Wall Street sending working class jobs to China created MAGA. Billy Bob/Hillary, W and Obama embraced this, which created Trump. Faucci blew up the anti-vacc movement by insisting alternative viewpoints about COVID were always wrong. This gave this fringe movement traction it would never have had. This kind of stuff is what leads to populist presidents.

Finally, SCOTUS doesn't have the power to stop a constitutional amendment nor does Trump have the ability to create one. Only with a significant majority (2/3) of both houses of Congress or 2/3 of the state legislatures passing combined with 3/4 of the states ratifying can pass a new constitutional amendment. There is no judicial review for a constitutional amendment. We're safe: nobody is going to get anything through Congress.

Thanks to the link to your filesystem. Anyway, the 1800s were also when the world was emerging from the Little Ice Age, an abnormally cold time.

We, of course, all contribute to this. Some of us are just looking for a scapegoat.
