Because people who never needed to use an annoying thing like to imagine and romantize how they would use it. Completely ignoring reality.

They shouldn’t worry so much about why the original satellite is in a new orbit. They should worry about the indistinguishable replica which took its place.

Deregulation doesn’t means less rules to benefit the people. It means less of the rules which keep the rich and corporations in check. The less rules, the more free they are to exploit the people.

Forgot the bite force of Russian trolls and Chinese paid actors on any topic remotely concerning Ukraine or Chinese politics, and how the west is actually the bad guys.

Unlimited bite force.

You really took the downvotes with grace.

My so called broccoli-potato-gratin with pork neck includes quite an amount of cream, salt, bouillion cubes and cheese. My wife doesn’t know and it will stay that way.

I’m proud that in that time of crisis I was strong and served my country and fellow citizens, simply by staying home and not bothering anyone.

The “out” part was never part of the plan.

You are correct. The ICC warrant for Netanyahu needs yet to be approved by an ICC judge. For now it’s only a warrant request.

The same people who warned us about the dangers of the internet and not to believe everything, are now the ones readily falling for and spreading conspiracies and lies from social media.

It’s tragic.

Totally the same /s

Ukraine:

Russia: invades Ukraine, committing war crimes on a daily basis.

I don’t think you’re eligible to judge anyone’s cognitive abilities.

I never found anything which scratches the same itch Claymore does.

In my experience: the higher up the management chain, the higher the chance that they are just in for the bonuses - not for the company / industry. And those bonuses are always bound to these numbers which need to go up. When the numbers go down, these people are long gone.

The first people to leave aren’t going to be the clock punchers, it will be the best and brightest who can easily find other jobs.

Yes. But some of them are also the most expensive ones, so when they leave costs go down. And we all know “numbers must go up” (=cost must go down).

There is also no requirement to be a “good guy” to attend the conference.

Correct. But it’s kind of the inevitable outcome that only “good guys” attend. Why would any bad actor go there and risk being exposed / caught…

Cosmic Encounter

No two games are ever the same. So are the attempts to lure people in and out of encounters, and the following betrayels. Great fun.

You are correct. It was a monoculture forest and designed to be cut down sooner or later anyway.

Self checkout in a soulless white box is the future.

Why wouldn’t it. What do you need from a checkout? I want to leave the store, not be entertained, coerced, woo-ed, just leave.

The same people couldn’t wear a face mask to save the lives of their relatives.
