I'd much rather the UN wasted their time doing nonsense like this than trying to tame the boiling oceans. It would be even better if they tried to enforce peace, but that's not important enough for them.

Consent is the difference between it and lovemaking.

A legitimate government listens to 90% of its citizens when they agree on an issue. Delegated powers and such.

retirement age was 650

That's just a units conversion error from Cuneiform to Aramaic. The Mars Climate Orbiter didn't learn from their flub.

Shit, now MAGA will ban elderly LGBTQ+

"Volume"? Uh, wrong metric

and many are brain-dead just like Mitch.

There is no "right" line, all lines will be arbitrary and thus generate arguments. Maybe we can stick it in the middle of the ocean whereby it intersects nothing of importance since if we can't play nice, then nobody gets the toy.

Blaspheme! Jesus wants evangelicals in the middle and Yhhuuuge!

Two dimensional plot, contrivances galore, leaden direction and script. And possibly the most unlikeable and stupid characters ever put into a series. The only time it seemed to have fun was the in-universe space soap opera. The irony is murderbot would have been completely within his rights to murder these sanctimonious assholes before putting a round in his own head.

Airbags, crumple zones.

"Modern cars cause cancer" coming next year.

Why just the last 33 years ? Alcohol use has gone down in that period, surely we drink less than our drunken ancestors. Why the sudden spike in cancer ? Is it an ability to measure that has increased, or could it be that corporate liquor has begun using fillers and dyes that are having a detrimental effect on us, but providing a healthy profit for our corporate overlords ?
I AM paranoid, but they ARE after me, so it all balances nicely.

Damn, that's a long time to eat kidney pie... /I've quit my day job already

Sure, but if that were the motivation, then they would be banning all foreign vehicles, not just Chinese ones.

Actually, I'm wrong. If security were the reason, then what they'd really do is ban unauditable, proprietary code from all vehicles, regardless of country of origin. If Theo de Raadt says "I checked all the code in this Chinese car and it's fine" then it's probably safer than any Chevrolet.

The US pretends to support choice and competition but the minute they have their asses handed to them, suddenly it's circle the wagons.

Pretty sure the announcements for ChatGPT 3, 3.5, 4, 5 all "hinted at AGI".

I'll believe it when suddenly the power and memory costs fall by 1000x after that release.

(I do believe this is achievable)
