Mine came on when I was about 12 years old and I'm convinced it was brought on by severe anxiety. At the time my life had changed dramatically. My parents split. Moved to an area a…

You assume that it will be a foreign enemy and not your own government bricking your car on the eve of revolution.

They don't have to do this. The cheap materials in the compressor or cheap capacitors used on the power supply board will just silently fall. And the cost to repair the problem, fo…

Why bother tracking just the cars? Just track every person. When you're born some government agent can implant a tracker in your sphincter. When a car is stolen, they arrest everyo…

I agree. If it only exists so that a select few can actually experience, it might as well not exist at all. And don't kid yourself, those keepers and creators get full access as we…

Freedom of speech existed before almost everything. Before the wheel, before the airplane, before newspapers, before radio and TV, and even before pen and paper. I wonder how much …

If your ego is elevated in anyway, you might want to work on yourself a bit. Ground yourself and don't focus on whether or not you are better than someone else. Just be content tha…

How does that scenario alter free and open source software? The software is still open and free. But in your scenario you're just super angry you didn't figure out to make money of…

Everybody on the planet knows that the modern cellphone is really just a portable vacuum connected directly to people's wallets and steam doesn't want a piece of that action? They …

Capitalism doesn't exist. The fact that trademark, copyright, and patents exist nullify capitalism. There can be no free market if your government intervenes in every transaction.

Tells you to eat every planet, creates plants that are fatally poisonous to humans. That God fella sure is strange.

What percentage of those people could never read above a certain grade level? Could 100% of humans eventually, with infinite resources and time, all be geniuses? Could they read an…

The only difference is that the people getting upset about this stuff is money. They hate the idea that someone is making money off their work. Even if the sum of their work amount…

I miss the time before everybody was on the Internet when it was mostly like minded techie types. This modem internet kinda sucks with all its AI generated racism.

And you'll survive. You'll build the cornerstones of future civilization! They'll erect statues of you! And then in 100 years they'll curse you and tear down those statues because …

This can't be true. I'm reading all these positive accolades for Andor in this thread and there's no way I'm watching it. Star Wars after Jedi is garbage. Lucas got me with those a…

Like stealing money under threat of force from many individuals and handing it over to some random scammer? That kind of immoral act? You might not be as decent a person as you mig…

I'm not Christian and I don't want a federal ID. I don't even want a state ID but I will eventually be taken to prison if I continually get caught driving without one. Coincidental…

Can't a raspberry pi (or similar) emulate a USB keyboard? Feed it any text and the key strokes will look real to your editor. I guess you could require a special encrypted keyboard…

Isn't Android Linux based? The development of chrome on desktop Linux have any benefits for mobile Linux?

Why especially women? Is the only thing stopping a person from being harmed is that their location isn't known? Especially women?

But it will bring some percentage of good and some percentage of bad. Which ain't half bad, if you ask me.

You're automating the 1's and 0's. There could be millions of people in an assembly like line of buttons, being paid minimum wage to press either the 1 or 0 button to eventually tr…
