"They just concluded that at some point this year, the equation ceased to give meaningful results because the predicted population shot toward infinity. That was their doomsday."
Earths population has clearly shAt towards doomsday instead.
Daemon Spawn at that.
we need to regulate speech then, exactly the same way we want to regulate firearms.
Only those authorized by the state ought to have speech. Safety First!
(this is largely sarcastic in nature)
The bigger you are, the harder it is to turn the ship in an emergency. See Titanic.
At some point the inertia of change isn't worth it, as you suggested. It is possible, but is it worth it?
The last way to look at this is a way to start the process of diversifying our Tech holdings. Windows, Office, Adobe, VMWare etc. But here is my take, STEAM is showing the way out. We're not there yet, but the tide appears to be turning (to keep the nautical terms going).
Broken clocks are still broken, even when they occasionally tell the time correctly.
Yeah, I've become the old greybeard I used to make fun of. The Tech version of a hero living long enough to become the villain.
Now, get off my lawn!
Correction, no, you're right, I did assert some problems are imaginary. Only the truly mentally ill could look down, see a penis or a vagina and wonder "what the fuck am i?"
Yeah, THAT'S an imaginary problem of the dumbest order.
So you don't really have any refutation other than "I'm sad".
I didn't say people whine about imaginary problems. Their problems are absolutely real.
YOU'RE the one endorsing catastrophism. The problems they're facing - we don't have enough money, we work too hard, etc, etc - are NOT unusual, are NOT new, & never before (afaik) in human history caused this sort of a wave of infantilism "well fine then I guess I just can't have kids! mwhaa!"
It's taken a lot, but the leftists have managed to convince an entire generation that they're exceptionally incapable and unable to save themselves, just so you can offer Caesarism and the Great Nanny State to take care of them. Brilliant, I have to say. Fucking sadistic, but hey, it wins you power so I guess you win?
Pretty sure whatever he died from came from bats. Or hamsters.
There's no reason to leap to the conclusion that whatever killed him was because he was actually working directly on it. That would be irresponsible.
LOL yeah botched execution. "First all female execution team at request of Pike"
"We at Siemens have seen how successful SCO was, and think we can be just as successful!"
Like I said, you're dogmatically dedicated (read: closed minded about the matter) so IDGAF what you think. That's why your reply doesn't even faintly engage with the point. Come up with a clever bon mot for your congregation and you win, right?
The objective, irrefutable truth is that
- by any measure at all, humans have had it worse, often VASTLY worse
- nevertheless, they didn't all just hold hands, wave their Gays for Palestine flags, argue about woman-penises, and decide weepily "this life is just too hard, I'm not going to bring a child into the world"
rsilvergun's really not getting his $ worth out of this account. Do better.
Well yeah. And? We framed the summary to fit what we wanted people to believe, regardless of what the reference that nobody's going to check says.
Propaganda 101.
An adequate bootstrap is a contradiction in terms.
