  • All governments are fundamentally homeostatic but prone to sudden decompensation due to the various feedback loops they contain going wild after a certain threshold is reached. A sufficient external insult can overcome this homeostasis of course, just like underlying cancer, dysfunctional regulatory system, or an auto-immune disorder can. But it will still attempt to compensate until the system breaks down.

  • What's a substantial period of time? Like a gallop?

    Edit: they only gallop when babies but they generally trot which by definition includes short periods were nothing is touching the ground.

    The key finding here is that they trot which includes a suspension phase. Elephants for example trot generally only as babies and reportedly sometimes downhill as adults.

    Rhinos, by comparison, even gallop.

    Fucking trots. Even tankies hate them. Goddamn trot hippos.

  • Cool thing about getting rid of mass is you no longer have any inertia which means you need no force to make you start moving. Since staying still doesn't compute if you need no force to accelerate you can only constantly go the speed of light. And you don't experience time. Overall a good way to be.

  • I get what you're saying, but giving yourself a fast lane in other business areas is an explicit choice to be anticompetitive. That decision on its own is inherently malicious. It doesn't allow you to then say the consequences of that decision are neutral because you didn't single out this specific competitor to block (or at least there's no evidence you did). This is frankly a slam dunk case in the EU that will result in heavy fines for Google.
