Anna’s Archive is a nice option if u dont mind a pdf

Not sure what this is referencing lol

You are living in a fantasy world. Don’t talk to me.

Idk. They might be forced to give it to everyone if its truly cheap to do because China will certainly do so, and it would put the US at a massive disavantage of most of their population was aging while China’s wasn’t and could lead to serious unrest. Healthcare is an issue now, but imagine when the average person in China is immortal. Americans would be so jealous.

I don’t really spend money on the internet. I’ll order a physical item if I can’t find it irl but other than that I never participate in the internet economy. If I want something I find… other ways… to get it. Or I just don’t have it. Big whoop.

You should be applying treatments to protect your frame. Regularly.

Honestly its possible to just keep a car going forever if you get the right one. Get someone with a reliable track record and just make sure to spray down the frame so it doesn’t rust, keep up with maintenence, and you can drive it for 50 years. Even the big stuff that comes up (like rebuilding a trans) is cheaper than buying a new car.

With wars like this there tends to be a point where one side breaks and the other side surges forward. If Ukraine is reaching their breaking point this could be a sign. They could try to get a diplomatic solution before they fail to hold the line and begin to lose ground rapidly. But if Russia knows that too why accept?

I came here before AI was a thing. I make new accounts every now and then, but I’ve been here for years.

Oh you sweet summer child

Do not leave batteries inside things your not gonna be using for a long time. And if you don’t want this to happen buy NiMH batteries

France and India pulling disproportionate weight here it seems

“A MINOR SETBACK ON THE PATH TO THE SINGULARITY!” -

It would be nearly impossible to prove in a court of law that was not your real profile. All you’d have to do is say that is your travel phone and you don’t use it for much.

I like names that are uncommon enough to not be boring but not too out there. Also having a cool like origin/meaning is nice. Examples with meaning/origin and prominent figures sharing the name included:

Silas: Greek/Latin meaning Forest or “of the Forest” Silas Deane, founder of the Methodist Church

Wesley: Old English meaning west meadow Wesley Moore, current Governor of Maryland

August: Latin (Augustus) meaning magnificent Augustus Caesar, First Princeps of the Roman Empire

Audrey: Old English meaning noble strength Audrey Hepburn, American Actress

Evelyn: English and French (Aveline) meaning hazelnut Evelyn Waugh, English Novelist/Satirist

Florence: Latin meaning blossoming/flourishing. Florence Nightingale, Pioneer in the Medical Field

I drive an old ass S10 and it gets better gas mileage and has a bigger bed than most of the newer bigger trucks coming out these days.

You could approximate this by simple having the main profile be left as a dummy profile and users use secondary profiles for their data. Then when you put the special code in it discretely deletes all but the main profile, leaving your dummy profile intact however you have set it up, and they’d have no idea your other profiles were where the data really was. They’d just unlock the phone, see the dummy profile, and think that was the phone.

opposition to a very general thing that the general public might believe is a good thing?

Does the general public seem to believe that? Because it seems to me they’re rioting for the opposite reason.

I’m gonna agree with others that there need to be standards not a blanket ban. I’d leave it up to the admins/mods what those are. Because getting too granular with it wold be hard to enforce. You guys pick something you feel is reasonable and will cut down on 0 effort slop but also allows you to enforce things without digging through the minutia of every post.

Do you genuinely believe that western economists give a single shit about poor people?
