Absolutely agree. Jimmy jet set is getting his vibrolux pen set delivered biweekly in record time, meanwhile some of the world waits exorbodently for deliveries of life saving medicine and food, or are otherwise greatly dissserviced by supp

>Physical drugs >majority of society doesn't use Maybe you meant illicit drugs. Almost everyone I know of consumes some type of drug. Your idea seems similar to China's recent policy, restricting access to online games for y

Strange because I've always seen the saurdukhar/fremen as a literary interpretation of a real aspect of human nature - the ability (of some) to perserverve and excel in stressful/difficult situations. Some real life examples

This inefficiency and it's resulting poor working conditions aren't unique to countries with health insurance and private healthcare tho, see Canada.

That'd actually be sweet. I'm a joke person and I'd love a platform to learn new jokes.

Increasingly, many of these rural primary industries will need on site tech workers as well. Rural Canada is where I'm located at the moment. I tend to agree with GP that cities are an inevitable migration towards efficiency and that r

Star treks' historical diversity only applies to nationalities and is a reference to us solving our petty skin/flag squabbles long ago.

There are a host of "woke" modern themes that find their way into western media in general. I sometimes wonder if the next star trek crew will be all David bowies and Barclays. Hard to say Netflix is worse for this than various ot

I found his opinion enlightening and pointed, unlike your own, rather barbed, post. Also, being in a "position of needing to die" isn't an absolute predicate for debating this issue.

>You could probably gaslight your girlfriend with it, if you are incomprehensibly evil. I'm honestly a bit more concerned with people gaslighting courts. The technology isn't going away, unfortunately. Society will have to adap

by DaltonCoffee 4y ago

If alcohol was tasteless, and a few milliliters could incapacitate someone to the point they risk being date raped, you'd have a point.

GP uplifted my perspective on my projects' progress as well. I have anxiety, adhd, go to aa, am exhibit a, etc. It's a tiger to ride but I wouldn't have it any other way! I'm going to dig back in tonight with a fresher

Then we agree, at least in principle. I don't know the details of this legislation but I have viewed Australia as a beta test for new tech legislation and worry this sort of authorization barrier could become more common place in Weste

Needing gov't ID to follow search links is dystopian, and antithetical to the original spirit of the Internet. Google should flat out refuse when governments make these requests.
