RTX Corporation, formerly known as Raytheon, hasn't produced a single thing of halfway decent quality in many decades and only hires the shittiest engineers.

Because all credit cards are stupid. The entire concept of buying on credit is stupid. Cashback, while seemingly nice, is ultimately a scam that ends up leading to higher product prices.

If I ran a business, it would be cash or debit only. No paper checks. No credit cards. I wouldn't pay the credit companies' ridiculous processing fees.

Why does anyone sign up for the military ever? Scarcity and money may have no longer been a thing, but people still worked jobs.

The Enterprise, and it's antics, was not "normal" for Starfleet, so it wasn't like it was happening everywhere.

Some people absolutely would want that responsibility and risk. But also, Starfleet is a military organization. They don't get a real choice in where they get assigned, outside of a few exceptions.

The lockdowns were bad (and potentially unlawful), but did not equate to "imprison everyone". And, to be fair, if people would have actually done the right things (keeping their distance, wearing masks, and staying home) maybe the lockdowns wouldn't have happened. The various lockdowns and shutdowns across the world could have been avoided if most humans weren't so disgusting and selfish.

I had forgotten that Apple Card was even a thing because it's so fucking stupid.

Then whoever created the bot can do everyone a favor and kill themselves.

Wong and stupid. Do your parents a favor and kill yourself.

The BSD license allows for closed-source, proprietary derivatives, instead of being copyleft.

Nah. Fuck BSD and their license.

Because most of the IT staff isn't anywhere near qualified to be IT staff OR the company actively prevents it's IT staff from doing well. These are companies that will either buy 1 Mac or 3 Windows PCs for the same price. They think 3 PCs is better value. Then they load it up with 3rd party, niche software and drivers that are coded like shit and wonder why it performs like shit.

Patel just kind of proved that the FBI is wasting resources on his girlfriend and I highly doubt the "threat" was in any way credible.

Neither are relevant to factual nature of China's power, skill, and capabilities. Putting people in jail has nothing to do with any of those. It's just a form of fear in an attempt to control the population. They can't imprison everyone. Well, I mean, they can try, but it will backfire spectacularly as it always does.

No, I haven't. There are fossil fuel companies all over the world. They are all the culprits. I could sit here and list probably 50 of them, give or take. I mean if you just want who/where would be first, it would probably be the India or China regions because they have the largest coal producers in the world. Then systematically work down the list. Once done with coal, I'd work on oil.

China is not as powerful, skilled, or capable as they pretend to be.
