We've had "the hottest year on record" for about a decade and there's no indication it'll slow down. =/

Why would you hold self-driving cars to a standard that we don't hold drivers? If you are a driver and realize you are about to harm a pedestrian, there is no circumstance when the law suggests you ram a car into a building or pole instead of the pedestrian. Your insurance would rather you hit the pedestrian, usually. Because in an animal strike, hitting the animal is comprehensive (in America) and swerving to hit a fence is collision. You can't be at fault for comprehensive. A pedestrian is a different mater and not comprehensive, but they'd rather you mitigate liability, and then mitigate cost. And there's a chance the pedestrian was at fault, at least partially. The building/pole can't be.

But all of this is a moot point. Self-driving cars will NEVER be programmed to harm the driver before an outside person. Simply for the fact no one will ever buy or ride in a car that chooses to kill the passenger over others. No one will ride in the Suicide Car.

, but Germany after the war just said no we are not fucking around if you are against democracy then you go to prison.

Did they? I thought Germany just made it illegal to display and promote Nazism. They still have far-right parties, don't they?

Caveman absolutely proud of you. Hunter-gatherer lifestyle was closer to how most animals live: most of their lives are spent resting. Periods of hunting take up a lot of energy and most animals spend most of the waking hours conserving energy. Humans weren't that much of an exception.

A descendant who rests the majority of their lives is living the dream. Especially when pretty much all prehistory threats are eliminated: predators, neighboring tribes killing you (for most of us anyways...), starvation, prevalent disease, infant mortality, extreme seasons, etc.

Contrast that to the founding father's age in America: those rich assholes hated and feared the working class. They had incredible animosity directed at any non-owner class people. They even created a nation and had the gall to say "every man is created equal" and then most states denied voting rights to non-landowners, non-men, non-white people, and often based on age and religion. It could be as low when the Constitution was ratified as 20-25%. So it's safe to say the white-haired ancestor would find the average person's lack of hard work and life of some leisure a good thing, in general those asshats were closer to modern billionaires.

I'm still baffled how the creators of that site haven't been arrested. It's clearly conspiracy to commit treason or insurrection and they've taken steps to commit the crime.

Yes absolutely. There's a huge segment of the population that doesn't want a fascist dictator but wants to be convinced Trump is having to sidestep fringe groups that are fascist. These people want to buy into the fear culture and want their feeling of privilege restored (see: persecute minorities), but don't want to appear fascist so they don't lose their social connections like friends and family ever talking to them again.

But if Trump is elected they will shrug their shoulders while the rest of the country alternatingly rejoices and cries out in despair.

Fence-sitters, centrists, and others not publicly decrying Trump are just embarrassed Trump supporters.

So it's no longer a non profit and the non profit loses tax breaks, right?

Which is a good thing because Imperial HR doesn't mess around.

A leftist hat trick would be amazing.

Cockatiels, too. They flock! Imagine the sound.

"The world today" but it's the fucking death star.

It's more of a thing so you aren't constantly fighting with your family.

"Rocking it" for a few months? Everyone will just say she's coasting in Biden's admin.

If there isn't DHCP and you device isn't set for a static IP, would it even connect?

Citing Supreme Court immunity ruling, Biden's scientists seek to freeze the classified documents case's defendant in the Antarctic borehole.

Indeed! New thoughts and ideas all the time.

If Trump wins, this will go into effect and a white house backed coup will violently remove career employees that keep the government functioning.

This will end democracy and our nation as we know it. We'll overnight become Russia and probably start militarily supporting them. With the recent supreme court ruling, it gives the presidency carte blanche to commit any crimes while in office.

This election could be the end, people. Please vote.

I'm getting old and I'm getting swirlyer every day.

No, Trump needs to brand everything. There's be Trumpulgences, or Trumpdons.

It's pedantry for the sake of being right. They care more about winning than the actual argument.
