Aside from the wealth concentrating in the hands of a few, there’s also noting that it’s “working full time”. More people are stuck into part time or multiple part time jobs to make ends meet.

No one who survived the attempt to require others to use it.

Show me an ad in my own kitchen and that screen is going to be broken.

I moved to Germany. It’s been an experience because the tech status dialed back about 15 years. One area I don’t miss is the ever pervasive drive to have screens with ads on every surface.

Awesome follow through. Thank you.

Got a source on how they hid the body? It’s very not cool if that’s what was done. I know the Nazis are trying to turn him into a martyr, and having the body both to hide from the investigation and to make it mysterious so they can tell any lies they like is classic.

I’m pretty cool with being forgotten most of the time, especially in general “stir the pot to make people fight over stupid shit instead of building guillotines for the real problem” kinds of stuff.

But yes, I drank (and do sometimes drink) from garden hoses. It’s just tap water delivered with more volume and outdoors.

Nothing in the general case.

If I’m having issues getting to sleep because of stress, I turn on a Mighty Jingles World of Warships video. I usually don’t make it past the intro and I’m out.

It’s just more right wing media distraction from The List not being released and keeping us from noticing encroaching fascism across the US.

It should just be that the government doesn’t patrol the high seas, of course! Every ship should enter into personal 1-on-1 contracts with each pirate for a market appropriate rate to ensure they don’t get attacked. The Libertrian way won’t cause any issues of scale, rampant loss of merchant ships, and an eventual ending of all oceangoing shipping outside of the handful of ships that can afford their own navies to escort them… /s

Anything except dealing with the problem itself.

I left the US and took my kids. We no longer have to deal with active shooter drills and school shootings are a national tragedy here, with about one per decade.

Have your cyberpunk drones and children terror drills, but make sure you can still have your guns!

The answer is: badly and inefficiently. It’s the American way!

Since 1998, baby! Found my RedHat 3.0.3 install CD recently. It’s been such a long road, but it keeps getting better.

Have you looked in Nature’s Pocket?

I haven’t had broadcast or cable TV for at least a decade now. The major news/media outlets hold very little interest given their approach to generally being informative in any serious way. So, no, our household doesn’t watch TV.

There it is. Thank you for the great summary of the tautology that is reveleation-based religion. In the end, it all boils down to a presup argument with no basis and dries up under even a modicum of analysis.

That’s the Fox News (or similar) pus leaking out of OP’s head. Up until that line they were sorta on a basic “I don’t understand why people value reason over superstition” track, but then veered into crazyland.

Here, I’ll give you some balm for the wounds of time:

Use it wisely.

“a lot more people everywhere live paycheck to paycheck as migrant workers than you probably think”

The percentage of Americans living paycheck to paycheck is insanity. I haven’t seen Canada’s numbers, but the US is barely surviving.

Brilliant! Let’s also plan on self driving cars to increase total throughput and completely block out pedestrians on the street so the cars can go zoom zoom… Until induced demand locks it all up again.
