Sigh. I meant to write more there that would make that comment make more sense as a reply to your comment.

Anyway... why not just tampered with clones? Fix your defects, with a broad definition of "defect"

This story is about clones.

The word "Clones" appears in the headline, summary, and article.

You can't even see that the summary says the so-called age verification is being done with ID verification and you want to tell me I'm missing something? Pure clown shit that EVERYONE BUT YOU figured out.

But what if I need a piece of brain? Abby what, you say?

It's not in the future, and if you could both read and understand the fine summary, you would understand that. Feel free to try to read and understand it again, it's right there.

If the midterms occur and are not outright stolen then yes, the Republicans are getting crushed.

But conservatives will absolutely double down on everything and it will probably work for them to regain power, because enough Americans are idiots. The Reagan-era policy of destroying our public education system (once world class, with high school students studying the classics and thereby having a chance to learn critical thinking) has paid off for the religious reich.

This doesn't make it American. It's still Chinese.

If you're not buying anything on the basis of principles, you shouldn't buy anything American or Chinese. GLWT.

You only think that's not political because you're confusing centrists with leftists.

No, it's because of all the idiotic enablers. We could just solve the problem by walking into the halls of power en masse and removing them but you can only get that kind of energy from total fucking clowns who want anarchy, and not the good kind that doesn't exist (as it leads naturally to feudalism) but the bad kind with only chaos.

Web apps make at least some sense when you are delivering the exact same app via the web and as a local application. But Microsoft isn't doing that, so they make none...

Thanks for making my point for me there bro

I'm going to go ahead and assume bad faith on your part, because otherwise you're very stupid. But nobody in your potential audience is stupid enough to believe there aren't lasting effects to being bombed to shit.

I take your point about this being before the dawn of ubiquitous tech companies, but what kind of chilling effect did the Bell monopoly have?
