As an American, non-voters can suck a butt. They’re effectively giving their proxy vote to everyone else, so they have no right to complain or engage in discussion.

I’m sorry for you other Earthicans who have to share the ball with my country. We’re stupid because we let ourselves be deregulated, gerrymandered, propagandized, and lied to, and can’t collectively ask for it to stop.

No reactions, just reflections. The premise is “bounce the heat before it can be trapped.”

The main reason they looked at diamond this time is because it’s very clump resistant, which is a positive for heat deflection.

That was Anthem Blue Thingy that changed course, not UHC.

“If they would rather die, they better do it and decrease the surplus population.”

Fuckin’ hell, fiction is a warning not a guide, you filthy-rich absolute cockwombles.

There are several (very simplified) factors:

• the parties in power won’t fix voting so others can join in proportionally
• the parties in power are mostly guided by the wealthy (often via corporate influence), just with slightly different flavors
• many of our citizens are one or more of poorly educated, uninformed, radicalized, and selfish
• the wealthy tend to support policies that keep them wealthy and the electorate controllable

Wouldn’t that be two killings?

You could teach them.

So there’s an underlying spelling fetish? Interesting.

Sounds like your curriculum needs updating to incorporate the existence of these tools. As I’m sure you know, kids - especially smart ones - are going to look for the lazy solution. An AI-detection arms race is wasting time and energy, plus mostly exercising the wrong skills.

AVID could be a resource for teaching ethics and responsible use of AI. https://avidopenaccess.org/resource/ai-and-the-4-cs-critical-thinking/

Mr. Trump is … provoking alarm among ethics experts.

Like, yes, we know. That’s what he does. I don’t think this is news to anyone.

You should check out the show Counterpart. You’re like 60% of the way to the plot.

Maybe GERD?

In all seriousness, how does one listen to and communicate with people who have slid so far down a misinformation hole to a place where science is fake, every expert who disagrees is part of a global conspiracy, and the only people they listen to literally can’t stop lying?>

I still talk to and value my mother, and believe she is a good person, but she’s fallen prey to insidious propaganda and believes that Trump is just a flawed tool for God and the Republican platform is the only way to save the world from the forces of evil.

As an aside, my favorite conspiracy theory was how all the governments of the world were collaborating on the COVID lockdowns so they could control the people and take power. The governments capable of national lockdowns could take power. 🤦🏼‍♂️

At least, the ones that love and understand their country.

This machine moistens fascists.

It has Gwynne Shotwell, and she generally does quite well at managing Musk’s impact.

Oh shit. As a white dude, I’m convinced.
