Really ... so what?

An overwrought social media post is "inauthentic"?? A political speech or protest tirade is "inauthentic"? Seriously?

I mean, as if they weren't that way ... before chatbots?

None of those were war crimes. If you believe otherwise, cite the specific conventions that were applicable at the time.

Besides, do you realize that you're complaining about Boeing making aircraft that were used to bomb not only nazi allies who fancied being honorary aryans, but also actual nazis themselves? And what's the point of this comment? Is this whataboutism, or do you believe Porsche holds a moral high ground for making use of slave labor provided by the third empire?

People who were following orders to drop bombs were the ruling classes? Explain.

There were three total. Rosenberger wasn't allowed to stay long, and you know why.

Er rather, advantages AND disadvantages

In which specific production cars? And what specific advantages has it already delivered in said production cars?

And if they vote to allow it, would you still want the federal government to put a stop to it?

Yes. And I said and delineated as such:

The one trying to carry their emotional support iguana into the testing facility claiming permanent victim status on behalf of the suffering their Great-Great-Great-Great ancestors surely had sometime in the somehow-relevant and fully blame-worthy 19th Century that naturally affects testing anxiety today bad enough that they have also two 15-minute cry closet breaks approved by the positive wellness counselor, is more the self-diagnosed I was referring to.

NIMBY is a matter for local politicians, not the federal government. Not everywhere in the US has poor water management practices. Not everywhere in the US burns fossil fuels for power generation. And Greenpeace doesn't give a shit about environmental issues, only satisfying the egos of its founders -- they'll happily substitute nuclear power for coal just to win an argument.

>"MY prediction is that I will never buy a pair of these from anyone."

Me neither.

>"They are just another over priced 3D TV type product as far as I am concerned."

I love 3D TV. And it wasn't over-priced; maybe added 5% to the cost of my TV choice at the time? Totally different thing than being a Glasshole.

>"Seems like everyone wears contacts, gets lasik, or something?"

None of those work (or work well) for loss of near vision, which will happen to all of us. And many of us don't want to have to put on and take off reading glasses 1,000 times a day so we get bifocals or progressive lenses and just wear them all day.

Don't believe me? Get back to me when you are 40 or 50... :)

>"in many EU countries, there VERY MUCH is an expectation of privacy in public. Set up a doorbell camera in Germany that films anything but your own front yard, and enjoy the lawsuits from your neighbors. Store the footage more than 72 hours? More legal problems. It's great ... they take personal freedom seriously. don't just pay lip service to it."

Um, that isn't taking personal freedom seriously. That is taking personal PRIVACY IN PUBLIC seriously. Often freedom and privacy are linked. But in your example, they are taking away individuals' freedom to record what they see while in public. Right?

Exactly how does this equate to when you are in a park and want to photo or video your kids? You have to somehow frame everything so no other human is ever visible? How about if you are at a party? You have to get permission slips from everyone? What about places where it is essentially impossible to de-frame other people, like a concert, or a theme-park? How will a dash-cam fit into this paradigm?

What we most need privacy protection from are systems that tie multiple cameras together into networks that spy on us while "in public". I am not as concerned about individual people or home security cameras.

Although- putting on "glasses" that record people without others knowing, especially people being actively interacted with, is EXTREMELY RUDE. It breaks all social norms and contracts. And it is not at all the same as people occasionally pulling out a camera/phone to take a photo or video.

There is a reason people coined the term "Glasshole". https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki...

Nah, he's more like one of those unintentionally funny movies. Sure, it's really bad, but it's so incredibly bad that you just can't look away.

Tested and verified would be where we start with fine tuning. Yours would be a respected and recognized definition of disability. There is a considerable difference between a trained service dog, and an “emotional support animal”. Starts with who actually qualifies for the former.

If people would like to get their “disability” tested and verified with more than an echo chamber and paid for personally, then the results will speak for who should be recognized vs. who should be questioned instead of coddled.

A society does not grow well or benefit from the problem of grown-ass children. If policy feeds that problem, question the policy. Not the child defending it.

These fines turn into the cost of doing business if you’re allowed to simply pay those instead of any actual punishment. Forever.

Mostly rsilvergun and pals. They very badly want the price tag placement job, even though it's boring, repetitive work that nobody who works at the stores wants to do (speaking from past experience.) But this is also because they don't actually work/can't hold a job, mainly because nobody wants to hire or work with whiny entitled douchebags who only know how to complain.
