  • nothing will ever make it right.

    Strongly disagree. If someone had killed Musk a year ago, the world would be a different place today. A better place, I think.

    If someone had killed Trump ten years ago, how many COVID deaths would be avoided? How much damage to our economy would not have happened? How many hungry people across the world would still have food from a USAID shipment?

    There are plenty of times it would be right to kill people. But who can we trust to make that decision? I'm confident I'm right, but I would not want to have to do it.

  • So you don't want our opinions, do you? You just want people to agree with you.

  • His thoughts seem to be that they share almost no characteristics, no philosophical underpinnings, and that there seems to be no direct path from the one to the other.

    What do you think a discussing of "proto-X" is going to look like, if not comparing it to other things looking for similarities and possible links?

  • I have several 300 gallon mixers at work, and a QA lab. If the mixer won't do the job, I'll just pour acids in until it is reduced to soup.

    Then I'm fleeing the country because maintenance will make the eldrich horror look like the easy choice.

  • Not before time.

    His life has been too long, and his reign not short enough.

  • It's a brutal message to westerners who are whining about Chinese dominance in electric cars, claiming it’s ‘‘unfair’’

  • That’s the Chinese quality insurance system.

    That only applies of the quality of the product hurts Chinese people. Cheap mass market crap for westerners isn't gonna be held to such standards.

  • Because the US Army is planning to deliver parts and ammo for 70 different custom rifles to all its bases and outposts.

  • And if they are the children of lesbians, then it's an eternity of "go ask your mom."

  • people don’t need a guide when using a chat bot that tells them how they should treat and interact with it.

    Then why are people always surprised to find out that chat bots will make shit up to answer their questions?

    People absolutely need a guide for using a chat bot, because people are idiots.

  • We hope. Whoever actually pushes the buttons might not understand the proper order of things.

  • You know they don't let us take our guns home, right?

  • Indeed.

    Of course, they are doing all the other for you mentioned, too. Morally, even if not legally. IANAL, so I can't speak with authority.

  • If words matter, I'm curious to know what definition of "deporting" you are using to claim that what they are doing is not deporting people.

  • The one does not flow directly from the other. A better world requires some protecting from each other, which means giving up some freedoms. A system of complete and total freedom would not be good for most people.

    However, as Franken said, it is important not to give up essential freedoms. What freedoms, exactly, count as "essential" ones? Hard to say. We should have a thread to discuss it.
