Probably be seeing the exact same level of protests, but with a different media spin that resonates harder with your implicit biases and fears.

Republicans also support Israel. It’s a terrible two party system. I’m not sure why we’re pretending there’s a difference here.

Wasn’t it like… they lifted that many out of “extreme poverty” which they classify as anything less than $2.30/day?

I mean, cool, cool. But also, you’re not in poverty in China if you make $3/day, huh?

Standard autobot documentation. Nice, nice. What’s your TC?

It’s easy to get grumpy at mods, but lord knows I’m not gonna mod this cesspit, so… Idk… Sucks to be you.

Given a bit of lead time, I believe the slower ship may avoid capture if there are any sort of obstacles like an island or rocks.

However, if we’re talking perfectly flat ocean with no time limit, no obstacles and pefect decision making: I’m guessing the faster ship eventually catches up, as turning from far away doesn’t slow your persuer much.

I’d never heard of S mode until my aging mother needed to get on a Zoom call with her doctor, and I couldn’t install the app on her laptop because of it.

I set her up to use the web browser mode instead. Leaving it on was for the best at that point. I kinda figured S mode meant senior mode like for old people or something, idk. It certainly prevented her from installing anything bad by accident: and it was just a youtube and email thing for her anyway.

There was a fun video that got a lot of public views from WebMD in the last ~week. Wherein some of the execs appeared to be mandating RTO from a green screen of an office.

Just the biggest example that comes immediately to mind.

Obviously it’s not the same as something like heroin or benzos but it’s more than just more dreams.

It’s not even the same as caffeine, my dude.

Wow, you remember vivid dreams. That’s clearly withdrawl.

…In the most technical sense, only. You’re technically correct, the best form of correct. Which is pretty much the definition of pedantry.

Decommodifing housing is how you get your family forcefully relocated into a Khrushchevka. I’d be down for limiting ownership to like 2-3 properties, though.

That’s about it. I am getting a good amount of pushback from people who very much like the idea that being able to dream again and not being high are withdrawl.

And sure, they’re all technically correct in the most pedantic way.

Shocked that discord employed 1k people tbh.

The legislative branch has been busted for so long that they literally ceded power to go to war to the executive for the good of the nation. Y’all can feel free to undo that at any time once you’re not completely broken.

This article seems to imply that stopping heavy marijuana use can lead to withdrawal symptoms.

Yeah, I’m calling bullshit on that.

I’m from the North and vote Democrat. I just like to live in reality. You know, where we think about things like who is going to do the dirty jobs when no one has to work unless they want to.

What was your solution for that again?

… And when that half assed solution doesn’t work, are we gonna go without sewers, or are the people with guns going to force someone to do it with the threat of violence?

But no, you’re not living in a fantasy.

All I’m hearing is fantasies from people who can’t pay their rent/mortgage and would rather burn it all down without a plan than work a 9-5. But sure, we’ll automate everything and no one will have to work and we can all live in big houses and play video games and post on social media all day.

I mean, obviously, I won’t be automating everything. That sounds like work. Someone probably wants to solve all the problems, though. We can let them do it in their spare time while we chill. I presume that’s you?

Honestly, it sounds awesome. Lmk when I can quit my job and not pay monthly bills.

So if I wasn’t here- y’all would up and start building the utopia and get the septic robots working.

If you say so. Hey, you know what? Please go ahead and start working on those things regardless. If you manage to build an autonomous sewage worker, you could probably make a lot of money while you wait for the economic system to change. Feel free to comment with your progress, I wish you luck.
