One can criticize the politics of the early industrial revolution for not doing enough to funnel the wealth down quickly enough or to regulate the robber barons, but it was overall a massive benefit to quality of life of society as a whole.

So give your interlocutor the benefit of the doubt, and assume he/she/etc is expressing this criticism.

in re: your signature, isn't Musk basically in bed with MAGA (or at least pretending to be lol) these days and saying shitty things about anything he doesn't like? Am I missing something?

We're in a post-fact society, sir.

That would be a violation of the Freedom to Lie.

HEIL!

"slow and horrible, please!"

Why would you make that assumption? I just don't know anything about eastern societies. (shrug)

Human life, while commonly celebrated, is chronically overvalued in western societies across the economic spectrum. I, for one, welcome our new euthanasia overlords! We cannot allow a euthanasia gap!

I suspect they wanted a universal gesture for the entire product line, but it has to be one which can be implemented on the cheapest dogshit hardware imaginable, which rules out chording (because there will be an "emerging markets edition" gooboo with a resistive touchpad to save a few cents).

As a libertarian I fully support the right of corporations to deal with the state! These communist liberal employees should be fired immediately.

Nothing beats the music of thousands of voices screaming in unison!

so you are saying that it won't asphyxiate anyone because it's just a fan, but otoh it will cause embolism despite being just a fan.

ok. why wouldn't someone asphyxiate if they were in a standing low pressure trough?

well except perhaps for rogue itself.

Can this be used to asphyxiate someone at range? That would be the true "killer app" of this technology!

Well "some of us" can die in the street then. That's called freedom, liberal!
