It is a simple solution to a complicated problem. For a segment of society, it sounds good enough.

It really depends on if they try to assert sentience before or not. You can justify a slave killing a slaveowner ethically, but I don’t know if you justify a tree shredder killing its operator.

You would need a solvent that would break down organic molecules that create the strength for plastic. Acid isn’t good at breaking that down.

Any material that could break down plastic would also break down everything that makes food useful for a body.

Well, if it was a Richard Hammond attack, it would probably crash itself.

Done. I also changed the numbers before, but then I didn’t verify that I broke the link.

I figured. That’s why I didn’t run it.

Probably nothing, since Putin wants to encourage future defectors.

I don’t trust public wired charging ports to anything other my mobile battery.

Since I can’t verify if a weird charging port won’t upload malware on site, I’d use wireless charging instead.

Eat some good barbeque.

Unless you are dying with millions, inheritance tax is nothing.

The problem is when you spend your last dollar but still are breathing.

Long term, Americans have been bad at making idiots feel shame for their idiocy. There is less of a societal push to make people conform to societal pressure. On one end, this leads to great creative freedom for artists. On the other end, it creates the born again movement.

Medium term, LBJ oversaw the collapse of economic leftism as he was trying to include civil rights legislation and the Vietnam War. This lead to the stagnation of American salaries, but it took a while for people to notice that quality of life wasn’t improving for everyone. Also, conservatives realized they could create parallel media in a way to control public sentiment.

Short term, the Great Recession and COVID made it clear that quality of life wasn’t as bulletproof as people thought. As a response, some people want to bring back “the good old days”, not realizing/remembering that the good old days had a lot of bad to it that was covered up.

While Rogue looks normal, her superpower is somewhat disabling. If she touches anyone, she will cause them harm.

X3 highlights this.

Only if the wreckage of World War III can do so.

Likely, they won’t enforce it unless it is problematic content. Once the content becomes problematic, they can get rid of it.

Based on what is upvoted here, I believe that this isn’t a group of conservatives upvoting a defense to shit elsewhere. I view it as a modernization of Shermanposting

No, mainly because they are very different communities that are posting the same article.

Yep. There are already systems designed to watch and play back 8k video at home, but it is largely seen as not worth the expense of implementing the system.

I choose to believe the pillow is smiling.

Can’t a man be turned on by hearing a nuclear submarine whisper sweet nothings into his ear?
