If you've been paying attention, you'll have noticed that civil cases are entirely a matter of perception.

It obviously would have nothing to do with any [rapid] cognitive declines caused by receiving weird experimental injections; to suggest otherwise would be silly.

Your metaphor would make a lot more sense if kids were designing Lego sets that Lego then sold and vastly under compensated the creators of those sets (while doing a piss poor job of keeping those kids from being contacted directly by adults)

"can't tell the difference between a game and reality"

Uh, while I would argue that you should probably care because that person should be focusing on an investor meeting, it tickles me that you're suggesting somebody playing a videogame during a meeting supports the assertion that "they can't tell the difference between a game and reality".

That would probably amount to a whole lot of people who can't tell the difference between a game and reality (which I don't agree with) rather than a whole lot of people are not focusing on what they should be focusing on (which I do agree with.)

Such profound wisdom... let me guess; LLM??

Well-reasoned, at least within the limits of your Dunning Kruger: this guy is simply smarter than Cook - and that's entirely orthogonal to how much "risk" is taken on.

"Having worked in public school education"

Lol. Means shit all for caring about better education.

"as it helps teachers and their healthcare/pension benefits"

Yes, you dipshit, it must be crazy of me to think that paying teachers well leads to better teachers.

Why would teachers want longer school days? School day lengths are fine. Longer school years? Is school a job? The length of the school year is for kids. There's a reason why schools have breaks, its for students. Additional money for after school activities? I mean, at this point I conclude you're a moron (actually I knew you were already moron) - that's a major ask of every teacher strike I've ever seen. (I dunno, maybe you've been surrounded by fellow idiots? Maybe this is what drives your pessimistic view on the profession .. )

Dollars to donuts, your "Having worked in public education" claim is as IT or computer something something, which doesn't make you an expert on public education. More of a useful idiot, every time I read your words.

I'd like to preface by saying that I often coming across to the less intelligent as if I'm being critical, which I am: if you're not even bright enough to figure out basic grammar for yourself (your teachers certainly weren't going to, as you amply demonstrate), then the observation that "hypocrisy" and "double standards" are orthogonal to the concept of "power" will probably be beyond your pay grade.

Or just schools, period.

"Data Centers don't seem to bring jobs."

Seems is not a great word in an argument one wishes to make.

imagine thinking that

Fortunately, and overwhelmingly provably, the physical and legal world doesn't work in the way you wish it did.

Protip: as soon as you're talking about "never" or "always" or "happened before" or "still happens" .. basically anything in terms of any absolutes, you're not operating in the real world.

People survived car crashes before seatbelts were mandated. People still die in car crashes even when using seatbelts. You'd be a moron to argue seatbelts are useless or car manufactures should not be legally required to put them in cars.

The things that influence law and society is the actual data (how it changes over time) and nuance, and that's what the law deals in. Things you seem quite resistant to engage in.

Multiple people can share responsibility, as their actions combine together. A person who drives somebody to a bank for the known purpose of robbing the bank is determined to share *some* responsibility for the robbery of the bank. Just because they're not the person who took the money out of the bank vault does not mean the law does not consider them partly responsible.

I know I know, life is so much easier if you just try and make everything stupidly simple.

That's OK. Your iris data will be uploaded to Palantir to match up with your other biometric information, along with the total dossier that is you.

This will be compared to the Amazon adware databases, vetted against your FBI profile, crosschecked with Google, purchased by Meta, aligned with various space lasers through the Starlink Alliance, and weighed against various API sets for corroboration.

You were screwed years ago.
