A lot of this is because they don’t need as many permits for “temporary” structures.

I get how it feels that way, buy Americans have a LONG way to go before they know anything like that sort of poverty.

They aren’t scared of shit. They aren’t even risking their own money on any of this shit.

Pretty much the Brave New World future, but Huxley didn’t know about AI. He thought it would just be easy access to media and an (inevitably) corrupt and stupid government.

I guess we do get to choose the form of our great destroyer. Would have preferred the marshmallow man to be honest.

Don’t forget the open outright theft of virtually all digitized media and content produced by humanity.

It SHOULD spell bad news for the people that use this verification method because it just means they lose those customers.

Maybe they can bundle them up into investment vehicles and sell them to normal people, they can name them Regular Everyday Investment Trusts or something. Totally no way for that to fall apart.

The current age range for boomers is 62 to 80.

And yeah, most grandparents I know are very much in that age range.

I actually watched the second one twice, because I literally forgot I watched it the first time. Like, I saw it on the listing and said to myself “hey, I heard this is lousy, but maybe I can give it a try, I bet its at least fun and entertaining.”

I got fully halfway through the movie before I realized that I had actually watched it before. I usually have a pretty good memory for films, but this thing has so little substances and held so little of my interest it just sorta slips through my brain without leaving anything behind at all.

I know for a fact that I have seen it twice because of that memory of realizing it halfway through the second viewing, but you know what? I still don’t remember the movie at all. I have zero memory of it. I cannot tell you what its about or what happens. Nothing at all. It is like getting surgery. You are awake and then you are awake again a couple hours later. Nothing in between.

I guess its a good thing that the point if this is just to tie a real human to their online presence and protecting kids never actually mattered.

You know, for a given value of “good” being “actually very very bad”.

As an early adopter of the whole whole “just plug a computer into the TV thing” going back to the early 2000s, I will say that its kinda shocking that no one has developed a really solid 10-foot interface that doesn’t need a shit-ton of tweaks to work right.

I understand that people want to just be able to plug shit in and go. I have an HTPC hooked up at my house, but for family members that aren’t interested in tweaking shit and troubleshooting, they get a firestick with stremio on it.

Dying.

Everyone thinks that you are supposed to go to the hospital when you are dying as if they are going to like, stop you from dying.

Mostly what they do is make sure that you don’t leave anything behind for your kids to inherit as they spend a million dollars a day keeping you a miserable vegetable for a week.

Once that is done the funeral industry shows up to make sure that you dump the rest into buying a worthless box and digging a hole.

Finally, a phone specifically for morons.

Gonna be hilarious when the people who haven’t been paying attention realize that they just replaced workers with shit that doesn’t work AND actually costs more.

How can it usher in a thing that’s been going on for at LEAST the last 15 years?

Killing off bots and people making new accounts after getting banned would leave basically go one left on Reddit.

Remember what we’ve been saying since Google started? If they aren’t charging you then you aren’t the customer, your the product.

What do you think they are selling to the Pentagon?

Why? We are paying full price for these devices and nothing in any agreement made at the time of purchase suggests that you don’t own them. Why is it necessary to meet a middle ground between “you got what you paid for” and “you didn’t”?

What is it a compromise between? People who think they own the thing they paid for and people who don’t?
