There also isn't a strict definition of when a pond becomes a lake

This took me entirely too long to get

Russia's tourism industry is really gonna take a hot from this.

This is the first time I've seen "I, for one" as i41.

I want the MiNiHo model i41

Following Moore's Law, might end up being sooner than that

I'm sure they won't even pay the bounties

Serious question to your joke. What is all the animosity against Jews? Seems a lot of conspiracy theories put the blame on them, like they're some sort of advanced alien race or something.

-Jewish Space Lasers -Jewish Weather Control -International Jewry and world domination

Hell, even South Park pokes fun at them. But why them and not any other religion? Is it rooted in the Holocaust and the propaganda Hitler used to justify his actions? Or does it stem from something prior?

It's also weird to me that they are considered a race of people as well, instead of JUST a religion.

The dude is 72. He won't even make it the full length of his current sentencing

So what you're saying is we should never make any scientific advancement until we make the world a paradise?

You know what would be at more effective, and just as realistic? Setting a limit that no one person or entity should have more than a half a billion dollars. The rest goes to charity to take care of all the problems we have now.

Hop back in then! The mods are great! I started a new DUrge campaign as Dread Overload Warlock, but there's some more subclasses added, you can give everyone wings, they're are weapons that improve along with your characters, cheater items if that's your thing, the mods are a lot of fun

I just hope they add the functionality to enable all relevant mods with the push of a single button. At least on console, we literally have to enable each mod, one by one.

They'll scorch the Earth as long as they continue making money as it burns

I hope it doesn't, just because they're trying to invent the wheel with their own Apple logo slapped onto it.

Pretty soon they'll unveil their new Apple Connect modem or whatever. It'll only connect to Apple Wi-Fi. Then after that, they'll create their own Apple ISP, which will only work with Apple modems.

I hope I'm wrong, but I wouldn't put it passed them.

And security and medical personnel

Hmm... Then maybe I'm full of shit.

I wonder why there's such a drastic change between those states then. And it seems like there's a clear line where it falls apart, so I chalked it up to party influence.

It's interesting to me how you can tell red states from blue states based on how their counties are divided. Up north is nice, squared, organized. But once you get into Arkansas, Tennessee, West Virginia, the county lines drastically change to a chaotic, gerrymandered mess.

While I agree that there's is always some sort of fear mongering with new tech as you said, I don't think they compare to what we're talking about. D&D is a tabletop game based on a magical world of various races, monsters, demons, etc. It's also obviously just a game.

Video games, especially violent ones that are vilified by the media, are still obviously just games played on a screen. VR is getting closer to "real life", but is still played on a headset, so there is still a divide between in-game and real life.

With sex bots, they are physical things that are made to look and act like real people. That separation between imagination and real-world isn't there anymore. For all intents and purposes, once the bot is on and functional it is as close to a real person as technology can create. Now, this tech is not yet a reality. But I foresee that future in the next few years.

The biggest danger with allowing people to do whatever they want to a sex bot is that it has the possibility to encourage dangerous behavior in some people to the point where they are comfortable doing it to a real person. Especially as these bots get more and more life-like, from appearances to LLM conversations. Rape fantasies, abuse, etc, are all on the table when no one is around. Now of course, this is an extreme hypothetical, but there are people out there who are not-right in the head and will do this sort of stuff.

The other part of it is, what's to stop a business selling life-like sex bots of people who never agreed to that, like big celebrities and social media stars? Sex sells and it'll be a reality way before regulations are put in to stop it from happening. And even when a government prohibits it, there's always the black market.

It's not even a matter of IF this will happen. It's a matter of when, and how we will deal with it.

And while I say all this, I DO believe people should have the right to do whatever they want to their property, in the safety and privacy of their own home. I'm not saying people should not be allowed to buy themselves really fancy sex dolls. For some, it can really be the only way to help with one of the most instinctual needs a human has. Especially in the disabled/disfigured communities, having a way to release that sexual frustration improves their mental well-being.

But as technology continues to evolve, we have to take into account so the different forms it takes, both the beneficial and the ugly.

I am firmly of the opinion that there is SOMETHING Israel has over the US that is probably super classified and super damning. Why else would BOTH parties, in one of, if not THE most influencial voting season in our country, agree on supporting Israel?

For how much the Republicans stand with Israel (and how many actually don't care about genocide since pretty much every Neo-Nazi is Republican), it should be the BIGGEST soft-ball issue to run on for Dems to oppose, being the party of "the rights of the people". But they have the presidency and continue supplying weapons to them for their war engine. No matter how many words are said, actions speak louder.
