Y'all would LOVE this if it were set in motion by the autopen corpse of Biden ... and you do know that, deep down, when today's 2-minute hate* wears off. Part of you knows this, under the layer of black and white thinking.

(* Orwell was so prescient, but for the love of all that's holy, if it were only two-minutes ...)

Don't try to confuse us with your scientific mumbo jumbo about distinguishing different chemicals from each other! And your lying MAGA concepts like "quantity"! We know pure evil when we see it!

There's only 2 reasons to have a new piece of hardware rather than make this an app on your phone:

1)It adds new sensors that your phone doesn't have (yet) that will enable new functionality. This won't be the case, as there's no usecase for it
2)It adds a new IO methods that aren't possible on the phone. AR goggles might do this. An AI assistant doesn't, it's all audio and voice.

This is basically just going to be replacable with a bluetooth microphone paired to an app on your phone. Which means nobody is going to buy it- even if they can actually find a usecase people want AI for (doubtful).

Which is hysterical because it's quite clear that he, and members of his family, have been taking it.

Not sure why you think price has anything to do with it, and weight loss could very well have an impact, regardless of price and vomit.

Wegovy works by slowing down the entry of food into the intestines, it has a pronounced effect on blood sugar and insulin levels. But go ahead and believe you know more than researchers, you're a /. AC after all.

Those exist, but divide the view count by number of comments. It will show for the most part thousands of views per comment. That means most people aren't using the social part. I've yet to ever write a youtube comment, but I use it daily. So if you asked me if I use YouTube you'd get a yes, but it's not social media for me. If you limit it to those who read/write comments it would be fair, but I'm not sure they did that.

I'd say the same for YouTube. It's used to watch videos. The number of people who comment on them is minimal compared to the userbase. I'd be very curious to the exact definition of "social media" they use is. I don't think it's what most people consider to be social media.

Do ... you have even the slightest idea what you mean by that, lol?

"...getting right of way corridors for dedicated passenger rail through the country would be almost impossible, require the use of eminent domain, and destroy many pieces of family homes."

LOL how stupid do you think we are?

"We have a bunch of people who think like you running this state, and it shows."

And it shows what?

Microsoft is not a person. It is a massive company capable of pursuing many mandates, some of which can either appear or can actually be entirely at odds with each other.

You have to admit; it's a fun thought experiment.

We don't know we will find such a method. But let's say we do. Just for the sake of the thought experiment. Imagine how different people will react. Some will have their favorite cause just plain ... taken away.

... it would certainly put the hyperventilation industry out of business, to just ... you know ... cool things off a bit.

We can't have that!!

"The US and the rest of the West as well as Russia are ruled by a set of ethics that have grown out of Christianity..."

False, but also irrelevant. Christian ethics have grown out of culture, so even if what you claim is true, the "Christianity" part can be entirely factored out.

That is unless you believe the absurd claims of Christianity, then you aren't even qualified to have the conversation.

"...why else do we regard human sacrifice and child abandonment as unacceptable?"

Indeed! Why else? You, in fact, are NOT qualified to have the conversation.

"There's a very legitimate argument that our present problems come from the fact that there is no overarching ethical structure that everyone will accept as the basis for decisions."

Except that there is, and it is extremist Christians who threaten it.

"In that context the commitment of Islamic countries to Islam is as reasonable. "

And what a context it is!

Leave Christian extremists in power long enough and the US will end the same way. It's not what the religion is, it's who the people are.
