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!

The people you are trying to reach are laughing at you.

The rest of us sympathize but... you're not going to make a difference. Anyone who could be convinced, has been convinced. It would take a propaganda campaign on the scale of a nation-state or a large corporation.

MOMDABI DID 9/11!!!1!!1!

Few among us remember those glorious days, before an otherwise-obscure middle-eastern artist carried out the greatest work of art imaginable for the whole cosmos, when our Masters would fly overhead in helicopters regularly.

Let us praise our Masters and give back to them the NYC skies so that the pitiful plebs beneath may be inspired by their artful dominion!!

Very interesting. Now shut up and kneel, pleb.

Why not? A sale is a sale. Of course it is also about suckering the poor into overpriced luxury items, and overcharging the middle class.

the market has ALWAYS endorsed "from each according to their ability," it's just that we call it "charging what the market will bear".

all this does is change the granularity of the decision making. instead of poor grocery stores and rich grocery stores, a store can target both markets at once through so-called "surveillance".

i'm not saying it's good or bad, but it sure as hell isn't communism. you're just trained to use that word when you don't like something lol.
