The comparison to a manual vehicle is kind of odd. But, i get the sentiment.

Dude is lucky we said tax the rich. That’s the socially agreed option. If they stop respecting the plebs, well…

This is cool and all, and I am super stoked we can do this…but my brain keeps saying, yeah, so what, it’s a big rock.

I worked on Landsat 9 a few years ago, and when I got on-console for my first shift after it launched, I remembered seeing the telemetry come down and thinking, huh, doesn’t look any different than when we simulated the data…how do I know we actually sent it up there?

Then something went wrong that i had to fix and I snapped back to reality.

Can’t wait for the killer robots who have no off-switch. Horizon Zero Dawn here we come!

I’m so glad we’re winning so much. Any day now our country will be great again…

Never let a good crisis go to waste they always say.

Please

Impeach her right now! The job of government officials is to enrich themselves at everybody else’s expense! Heresy!

Shitty people don’t get to run everything into the ground unless we let them. That’s a feature of capitalism.

Besides, authoritarianism and capitalism aren’t mutually exclusive.

We’ve been ruining the environment for a very long time, and that started with the industrial revolution precipitated by, you guessed it, our very own U.S.

Capitalism is destroying our planet. You can only spin that as positive if you don’t care about our species continued existence.

Dammit, you beat me too it

That’s different than what i did as a kid. I was talking to people on AOL messenger and chat rooms all the time. Didn’t occur to me until much later that theses 40 year olds were trying to groom me.

Didn’t work, but, it happened nonetheless.

They said it was an unintended consequence. The study authors are chinese…

Did you even read the article? Chinese researchers found that reforesting areas like grasslands into forest (as an example), redistributed water from the water cycle.

Nowhere in the article doesn’t it say “China bad”. The researchers said they should take into account how water availability could change when planning future deforestation efforts.

Not everything is political…you’re the one making it political.

In the wild, if a primate starts trying to hoard all the resources, they’d beat them to death (as a family).

We decided to put them in charge of everything, and it’s worked out about the way we thought it would.

Everybody knows this age verification crap isn’t about protecting children. If you don’t realize that, you’re naive my dude.

You just didn’t realize you were talking to pedophiles…

If you told me your age online and you were ten years old, i’d nope out of there pretty quick.

People who want to continue talking to little kids on the internet when they’re in their 40s aren’t doing it bcz 10 year olds are interesting.

Finally, some good news in the shit news sandwich onslaught from the last year.
