I can spend it when I’m dead! I CAN spend it when I’m dead. I CAN SPEND IT WHEN I’M DEAD!!!

I feel like maybe it’s slightly better that OpenAi is upfront about wanting to harvest your data, which I think is primarily to feed ChatGPT(?), while Google’s behavior is always nefarious, because their goal is to feed you ever more irresistible ads. 🤷‍♂️ I don’t know. I’m just an unfrozen caveman lawyer. Your world of technology frightens and confuses me.

A U.S. appeals court blocked a rule that would have required businesses to make it as easy to cancel subscriptions and memberships as it is to sign up, saying the agency that created it did not follow protocol.

Is blocking the same as ruling? Is this kind of nitpicking what we have come to as a society?

I was told that the massive and exorbitantly expensive air strikes solved this problem.

Holy shit, you weren’t kidding.

It’s my own country, and I would be happier if I could un-know this.

Miami is home “to thousands of patriotic Cuban Americans who know better than most about regimes that cavalierly delay elections and prolong their terms in power”, Uthmeier wrote.

Do they, though? Who did most of them vote for, for president??

You would need an optical character recognition system. No idea how to implement one on a tiny scale like you are talking, but it should be at least feasible.

These assholes’ calculus somehow adds up to: financial pain > lasting physical harm and death.

The rest of the world is playing Hold ‘Em, and I suspect this is what trump is actually playing:

Emma Waters, with the conservative-leaning Heritage Foundation, agrees it's time for a national conversation about birth rates and the choices families are making. "We're going to have more adults than we have children to replace them, and that will heavily impact things like our military readiness, GDP and economic growth in the United States."

It’s almost like the Heritage foundation didn’t at all think through their push for rabid anti-immigration policies, combined with their perceived necessity for increased breeding on behalf of the poors.

After reading your comment, I felt I had to see what this horrible article was like. I’m afraid I had a completely different read than you did. I found it pretty well balanced, and even a bit liberal leaning. It did not seem to shy away from, subtly, calling out the rich assholes who want us all to breed so they have more workers to enslave. And also the politicians who want us to breed so they have more people to conscript into their armies. Not saying NPR hasn’t gone to shite. They pretty much have from what I gather; I stopped listening a long time ago. But I didn’t think this article was at all objectionable, frankly. Agree to disagree. Cheers!

I would be happy to return to the Snow Leopard aesthetic.
