Seriously. It's pretty discouraging and off-putting. Although, when I was in the Aquitaine I don't think I got any of that.

... Maybe it's because they remember being under English management and don't want to give anyone an excuse?

I do find the French have very little ability to understand their language if it's getting mangled.

No. It's feminine because you put dirty things in it.

EDIT: I'm going to get lynched by the hyper vigilant with you. We're in this together now.

No. Pointed in that direction is, "Goodbye Alberta."

Ooh ... Jacket on top of kimono! I haven't seen that one before. Did I miss something, or is AI mashing up modern and classic Japan?

Oooh baby, it feels right.

It's bad for you. I'm a steal yo girl, and if you come near my taniwha hideout, I'm going to eat you.

... I'm so high right now. That's probably how this ends for me: humans bringing me some cannabis, getting me too high, and leading me somewhere out of the way.

Catholics every Friday.

Yeah, I've seen this cropping up over the last few days and was wondering.

A quick look through a few news sources suggests that it is related to an artificial ground mulch made from recycled materials. This mulch was used in a bunch of parks. It came from a recycling company that claims all its mulch has tested negative for asbestos. Again, although it is referred to as 'bonded asbestos' which means it has been combined with another building material, it doesn't say what. Up until the 90s asbestos was used in concrete, under lino, and in drywall.

... I don't know who the fuck would use ground up construction materials for playgrounds mulch. Pretty sure the school near me (in Canada) users ground up tires, so I'm not walking too tall here. I suspect that's going to be it's own thing in a few years. (Tires are pretty fucking toxic. They very optimistically thought they could make artificial reefs from them in the 80s. No. Nothing will grow on them.)

In all seriousness, it's because it needs to fit when they're straddling a horse, yeah?

Oh, this is true old school, "people from under the hill" fairies.

Why is he holding a flamethrower? Does the AI think firefighters are pyromaniacs?

Oh. Are you telling me the anti-robot revolution hasn't actually begun? Well, that's disappointing. Thanks for taking the time to straighten me out.

Wait ... That's exactly what a ROBOT would say!

I want as few cars as possible, mixed zoning, and walkable cities.I don't believe in a technocentris utopia. I want more quality relationships, and technology in our lives to be more restrained. I am in no way an advocate for the status quo (which by all accounts is AI and robot cars). Robot cars are a step in the wrong direction.

Not unless that human driver was blindly following their navigation app like a total idiot. A person would have said, "oh shit, I want to get out of here."

Anyway, I believe under it all we've got a tension between generally two different worldviews: those who believe Star Trek is utopia, and those who would rather life was more Hobbittish.

Personally, The Shire sounds like a nice place to live. Can we choose that please? You can still have computers, let's just chill on the whole racing to meet our cyberpunk future.

I believe in a society where all are cared for, but did we really just legislate another subsidy for boomers? They're the richest demographic in Canada. What about housing for families? The Boomers are the ones that created this fucking mess. Just squeeze us more. I'd be more sympathetic if I hadn't actually had multiple boomers complain to me because they can't age out in their 5 bedroom homes on their acreages. The fuck? You made housing an investment and made a mint on it, sell your investment! Oh, it's a 'home' now? My family of 6 is in a two bedroom derelict shack because 3% was apparently the cost of living increase, while housing has doubled in 5 years and food.

I probably haven't been too nuanced here because I was raging before I could finish the article.

What you've got here is the difference between an ethical person, a good leader/prophet/pastor, and a theologian/liturgist.

Heavy brow ridge, no chin, fair hair. This guy is literally a Neanderthal.

Amen, brother or sister.

The article states that there was no known motive, but it also states that automated cars in SF have been attacking people and emergency vehicles, in addition to blocking traffic for human drivers.

It's pretty clear that this is the beginning of the anti-robot revolution.

Except all those apostrophes are like whole Latin phrases that the French just ate!
