I’m in favor of all that, too.

Plus, we all know that, whatever the theory, a lot of people just want to duck with Muslims.

The men forcing women to dress like this aren’t using the law to force them. Laws forbidding dressing like this are, theoretically, to protect them from being forced.

I’m open to the probability that there are such women. But I can’t imagine that they area anything but a sharp minority.

What about the ones who don’t want to, but are forced into it?

Keep all cheese out of the facility.

Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

Or maybe tax the rich? They have money. They just don’t want to use it.

No, that’s just me being stupid.

This sounds like the first chapter of 1986.

You are either answering the wrong question, or are defining a lie based on some criteria I don’t recognize.

Telling a Nazi there are no Jews in my basement is a lie. The only way it’s not a lie is if there are, in fact, no Jews in my basement. But it is not wrong to lie to a Nazi.

I would assume they were placed on a bedside table pointed in the general direction of the fucking.

But still.

Depends. If the chief murdered the guy, then that’s the restaurant’s responsibility for not keeping the chef secured.

Right, but that’s not to protect them from AI. It’s to protect them from us, once we come to our senses.

Because the people with money know they don’t have to listen to the little people.

We don’t even need overblown fears about AI killing everyone. AI is ruining students, ruining artists, causing massive layoffs, being used to monitor and judge our behavior, and is attempting to influence our behavior. It seems there are attempts to give these glorified auto-complete programs increasing amounts of resources and authority.

This is bad for most people. And those of us born after 1980 or so have no illusions that anyone in power is going to care about the welfare of the little people. They only recognize money and power. We don’t have money, but there are many kinds of power. I hope someone recognizes the signs, and changes course before it gets bloody.

Seems an odd thing to do. I rather liked it.

Ah, the Wicked Bible, first brought to my attention while reading Good Omens.

Can’t argue with the word of god.

I had been at work for two hours, but yes.

I missed the “X” in that title, and read “EFF is leaving the Electronic Freedom Foundation,” and was very confused.

Define “extinct?”

This is an anti-gift.
