While taxpayers are distracted about the cost of the Flock network in both dollars and privacy, the ones really profiting from all this hope you don't notice the vicious money-burning process that involves this level of taxpayer-funded "just-in-case" police response.

Just wait until the city gets the bill for that fucking bullshit involving at least 17 corporations, LLCs, non-profits, and partnerships. You thought hospital bills were getting ridiculous, follow THAT money and see how it funds citizen safety. Thrice.

Perhaps we're not thinking dual-use enough.

Perhaps there is an application for a barely more than moonlight mod within a schedule that demands action now.

First, I'm shocked that there is only a 10 minute(22%) drop over 20 years.

Second, this is survey based data. Something that should almost never be trusted for accuracy.

Surveys that demand a bit too much honesty from humans tend to hint that Reality is much worse.

You understand the XBox division has very little to do with the Windows division, right? It's like blaming Sony's full frame camera division because you don't like the new PlayStation update.

You do understand the company that makes the Windows operating system and the Xbox gaming system are the same company, right?

It is Microsoft's decision, to not allow an XBox to run as the perfectly functional desktop computer it always was under the hood. They could have sold a lot more XBoxs to the corporate world that way.

Lets put it like this: You have to compare 80 years of biography to find out. Right now, people dying did not experience the Great Depression and the Second World War, which gives them a large boost compared to people living 10 years early. We might see the effect of Microplastic in 50 years time.

Microplastic already exists in 100% of male testes. If you think we haven’t seen the effect yet, have a Millennial talk to GenAlpha.

Then have GenX remind Millenials that we actually thought they represented the worst we could possibly get.

It's about women sometimes being unable to form the math problem from general information properly.

That's not a gendered problem. It's an uneducated problem.

Wrong. That is a gendered problem when you see who blindly teaches the ideology of unaccountability to the next generation. The kind of unaccountability that creates stupid shit like girl math.

Sexist? Uh, no. Explain why there’s no boy math. Or a MAJOR unaccountability problem with grown men. Men are forced to be accountable. By society itself. Provide and Protect. Women get away with ”But I’m just a girl..” Because unaccountable.

Girl math involves basic math. If that’s an education problem, we need to take a few million grown-ass little girls back to middle school. Society is uneducated about the impact of unaccountability. It’s learing quickly, because men are done with the immature grown-ass girl shit.

Why? What's the value of this "research"? And how does this research justify violating the property rights of creators?

I’m assuming that “research” centers around measuring shades of Cheeto finger while debating who had to wait Forever for a certain Duke to return.

It's not just children. It's every age demographic. Maybe children might be more susceptible, but every single age group is a target.

Children, is merely the easiest legal avenue to gain traction on this. No one gives a shit about adult digital junkies.

And we know what social medias end goal is with this. Anything that is truly bad but profitable? Attempt to dismiss the harm by normalizing the shit out of it. When everyone is an addict, no one is. Because there is no more addiction. There is just normal.

Expect the “speculative market” to pull the same shit to avoid being called what it is; gambling that should be illegal and WAS for every valid reason.

What the fuck is a "net zero" HVAC? Every vapour-compression air conditioner is just an air-to-air heat pump in cooling mode and always has been. What do you imagine is being done to make an HVAC "net zero"?

Well given that it's an electrical device you could run it from solar panels... or is your HVAC system diesel powered?

When it’s still 85F at 4AM in August and you’re cycling a 3-ton unit on and off basically 24 hours a day to try to get a Florida home down to comfortable, your unit might as well be diesel powered. Feel free to do the math on the electrical draw. Then Florida will remind you how many solar panels scammers are out there. Like the rest of the country.

Sure. You could have solar A/C. It might just take you 20 years to break even. After you fight your homeowners insurance adjusters bitching about you having a bit too much power independence mounted on your roof sucking profit from the power pigs feeding Florida, claiming the structural integrity of your roof might be compromised by weight alone.

Never mind the fact the solar panel mounts quietly voided your roof warranty. A tactic abused by professional finger pointers speaking in legalese..

Are you angry? I can't tell.

I know. It’s tough to discern when I paint in subtle shades like that. Should have added an F-bomb for flavor.

I can afford a new car and do my own maintenance. My frustration is more for the growing army of citizen victims who absolutely cannot, which is considerable when you factor just how many 500-credit score morons got approved to feed the automotive repo problem, which alone could become the next financial crisis. 2008 it was home mortgages. 2026 will be car mortgages. Where it’s legal to charge 20% interest and fiscally cripple a moron who justifies budgets with girl math and TikTok trends.

Cars are not exactly optional in America if you wish to be considered a capable effective member of society. Not everyone can live in NYC and pretend we’re Europe. Less than 5% of America is crazy enough to even try.

The AI was an excuse for layoffs. They fired thousands of workers. This is signaling to the current employees that the layoffs are done, to prevent them from quitting and finding other jobs.

Really? Because I thought the signal to every employee was being told more in the form of the overpriced unsellable disposable dogshit made out of plastic and Greed currently rotting away on every new car lot.

AI has a problem to solve alright. How to account for the idiocy of comparing line worker pay the the CEO of the company as a basis for hostile union “negotiations” that insisted an American auto worker be paid as much as the new six-figure barbers** out there to build the kind of “quality” dogshit that might last as long as the car loan, IF you’re smart enough to NOT follow the manufacturers maintenance schedule designed to break it prematurely.

** Yeah, no shit that bubble burst for barbers. It’s also gonna pop hard for the UAW when there’s no more reason to have a union because only 5% of America can afford your Greed. The stealership, had too long of a run. Now Reality sets in. Hard.
