I do have kids - and agree they have a mind of their own - but you also never stop being the parent, because they never stop being your kid.

Sound like you still have some parenting to do...

That's great if you already have a friend network ... being able to walk to the bar on the corner isn't the same as flying your flying car 100 miles from some bumblefuck turdhole.

Everyone living in stinking bumblefuck sounds lonely as all fuck ... I want to interact with strangers at random. The spice of life, being outside of existing friend and family bubbles. But, I get it ... Americans are asocials, generally speaking.

Assuming he doesn't stroke out first and end up drooling a lot.

Good, can we exile Muck, LeCunt, Scam Altman, and the rest of the AI bros to space along with their data centers?

Or at least do what the EU is doing and regulate it to Hell and back. Clankers out! Carbon power!

I keep cash around to support the gray/privacy economy ... I empathize with undocumented people and fugitives, so I'm doing my part to preserve an anonymous payment system that will allow them to continue to exist in society.

I just generally pay cash, both for the order and for the tip. When I use a CC for the order and tip in cash, I put $0.01 on the POS as a tip, so they can claim to have been stiffed. What tip? Know what I mean?

The point is to starve the military scum long term, so the motherfuckers don't have as much money to acquire new weapons and protective equipment for soldiers (war should be dangerous to those fighting it).

And i was referring to this.. the Goldsboro Incident, where we bombed ourselves twice but only recovered one...

yeah but it's roped off and in a swamp bog now.... so it'll be fine

"Digital service" implies boring public service. "Force" implies militaristic violence. It's all about recruiting the right/wrong kind of morally flexible people who want to be "heroes."

Indictments would be better. If you can't go after the VERY top, go after their family and associates. Get parasites like the Kushners tied up in lawsuits and criminal charges for years.

Where companies will do anything to avoid having to pay taxes for good public transit (trains! joyful trains!).
