Shooting you and robbing your corpse probably. Doesn't sound like it will be much of a loss to humanity.

You can go back down the the basement now. Torture porn and cheetos are waiting. You can have a little orange cock like Donald too.

You weren't "United" at that point? There was a union and a confederacy, effectively two countries? It was not citizens of the same country fighting?

We Brits had a proper Civil war. We lopped a king's head off. His son, who got asked back later and fcuk knows why, dug up the man that did it, Cromwell, and dragged his corpse around London before executing it again.

Come on American cousins, keep up. Your levels of brutality are lacking.

.. an engineer, medic and a rock nerd.

I thought they flew space x stuff on remote, or with your phone, or some doofus single point of failure tesla touch screen.

Good luck to them. Shows us the best we can be.

I don't believe anyone wants to work that schedule for the rest of their life.

Some have to because they are paid very little and have to pay for inconvenient things like food, shelter, supporting their kids.

They are paid little so you can buy a t-shirt for $5 and moan about it.

You would not want to work like that. It would be like your smelly carpet everyday. Except you are wearing the smelly carpet.

Evidently you can have both at the same time. Or features of each. Communist thugs put a harness on Capitalist greedy types. It's an oligarchy I guess.

I know US education is poor, try to learn about nuance. It's all very binary with you. Communism/Capitalism, Republic/Democrat, Good/Evil

Off you trot. You can go bray Freedom with the rest of the donkeys now. See if Orange man will give you a carrot.

Spiderweb

This doesn't look that hard to pull off, he says eating toast, drinking tea, wasting time on Slashdot.

I bet it is still cheaper than a cruise missile.

Slava Ukraini! Teaching us all new and interesting ways to kill each other.

Even with drones you still have to find your target. Take out 31 GPS satellites and you reduce drone capability, and anything else that needs to get from a to b. I don't remember seeing that that in any movie and game scenarios.

Best we keep our map and compass and learn how to use it.

Plastic from the water in developing brains from in utero forward.

Maybe the risk is light, Alzheimer happens to the old after a life of exposure and building up a deposit.

Can a nano filter catch this stuff? Or distillation?

Cancer !? Guess you fell out with a Project Manager.

You missed the tense in "I took". I was working as PM but went back to coding for a quieter life. PM was very stressful, I took the responsibility very seriously.

Careful with your hate speech, the more you practice it the better you'll get at it. You can get shot for that these days.

Peace brother|sister|somewhere in between

Yup. You nailed it. It's worked so well it almost looks planned.

The bottom is falling out of it though, the young are not having as many kids, and the workers they have been driving hard are getting old.

I guess China is like Russia. An Oligarchy kept inline by a dictator. Accept China's better at it, generally kinder. The Russian dictator appears to hate Russians judging by how he is sending them to Ukraine to get killed in the 1000's.

Binary and tribal thinking doesn't get nuance, it's primitive.

Saying China's model is all bad would be an example of binary thinking. However they organized they have pulled off some amazing engineering projects. Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised, it's not like it's the first time, they built a Great Wall..

Interesting. My first reaction to that was wow, that's wrong, I like my freehold. I've never looked into what freehold really means, for example if I find an oil field in the garden I have a feeling the crown might own the mineral rights.

I am British, our home is our castle, I believe in that for the individual. I would like to see every British citizen owning the land they live on, in my mind that makes them more invested in the country more willing to defend it.

However we have suffered from a plague of landlords for the last 2000 years. One of the biggest is our king. Landlords are essentially entitled, unproductive, parasites . They hold back economic growth and stifle the aspiration of home ownership. This morning I would merrily hang the worst landlords from the nearest tree and let poor kids beat them like a pinata until their money falls out. But I should remember, I am a Bhuddist.

China seems to have solved that problem , it's got rid of parasite landlords by having the state be the only landlord.

I like that, if I felt I could trust the government, but I don't. Many Chinese do, they might be indoctrinated, scared to say otherwise, I don't know. A lot of them will remember famines and have seen their country rise from the ashes.

I am in favour of land and property taxes, break up the land owners. Free the rent we pay to the parasites to hoard. Get that money circulating in the economy and innovating.

I don't believe anyone is happy working just to pay rent. That's slavery.

It's amazing what you can do with an impoverished indoctrinated workforce

America get ready for 996. The right wing rich are going to turn your daughters into baby makers and your sons into slaves. They'll keep the good looking ones to use as their bitches.

Innovation #1 give that lard ass american white trash a shovel

Do enjoy watching your poorest starve whilst you are waiting for Food. Inc. to "innovate"

That's not creepy at all.

As a Project Manager I took lots of notes and actions and I am pretty sure no one read them until I reviewed them at the next meeting.

Motivated talent needs very little management, just pointing in the right direction.

There are certain jobs that seem to just produce content that is marginally useful. Now you can use an AI agent to screw that up and ignore it some more.

I have no idea what investment houses do? It my mind its roll dice, place bets and do some coke in the loo before looking up tonight's hookers.

What were these people doing in this AI job replacement hype story?
