Having seen a solar eclipse back in 2017, I can say it was truly an spectacle. But I don’t see traveling anywhere just to see another one - I mean it’s interesting, but it lasts maybe two minutes and then it’s over and back to normal. And I don’t see spending all that money when you can get the best view of it watching news coverage on TV.
What about the content generators who earn their living from Tik Tok? Banning it is not the solution to fixing the problems with it.
In Utah they’re so frightened of social media that they have made it almost impossible for any social media companies to thrive here. Tik Tok is now in their crosshairs because it’s the fashionable GOP target, but previously it was facebook and the internet in general. Now they’ve passed laws to restrict internet usage for anyone under 21 - on the off chance some kid might see a cartoon of a bare butt or something, and their head might explode.
AI could be a creative tool for good, in the right hands; unfortunately, most people will use it to produce crap and to spread sick disinformation that, in many cases, will be libelous if not downright corrupt. The art of persuasion should have guardrails because, essentially, most people are pimps who stink excuses.
Hmmm, only half control of the Universe would be only half realizing my ambitions. It would be going at it half-assed - and I wanted to use my WHOLE ass this time!!
Guess I’ll have to buy more shares since I must control not just Earth and Neptune and Jupiter, I want Uranus as well. (!).
I get it, I was banned from Reddit for saying that being progressive was a good thing. That was just dandy. I consider it a badge of honor to have pissed them off so royally.
I feel the power surging through me, TOTAL CONTROL OF THE UNIVERSE IS WITHIN MY GRASP!
Ahh well in that case, it makes perfect sense. I’ll take 4000 shares.
Now why, (me doing a Jack Benny impression): why, ya see - why would I go and buy stock in a company that hated everything I ever posted, and then banned me for saying that progessive thought is a good thing. I ask you.
I totally agree, anything that takes people’s eyes off the road is not a good choice to put into cars. Cars may have more safety features than ever, but let’s face it, drivers are still too easily distracted and too careless. Here in Utah we have so many highway fatalities every day, people driving the wrong way on freeways, and speeding around school buses with their stop signs out. There’s no good fix for “stupid.”
It’s more than just genocide, it’s what happens whenever you let men have unfettered access to weapons to hurt and torture and kill. It’s bloodshed and outright murder. And nothing in the world or in heaven above can ever justify it. There’s only one commandment about any of it - “thou shalt not kill.” (I’m not religious btw but, just saying). There is no exception because of “war,” or because of freeing hostages, or anything else.
Hee hee, I love it. Whoa whoa whoaaa, am I the only one who digs that song?
To an AI brain, that makes sense. Your first priority is always going to be eradicating any potential disruptors or human interference. They tried this out with an AI military gun a while back, and it ended badly with the gun aiming at humans and trying to mow them down (though the creator said, Oh don’t worry, it won’t do that). It did. And it obviously wanted the humans gone as fast as possible. It could see the threat immediately.
And yet Jesus as a symbol represents ALL people, not just straight, masculine, or white people. Why can’t he be represented this way? Also I beg to differ that there is anything “erotic” about this picture, other than his having a nice chest. His face is weird, and far too feminine to represent any kind of ideal to gay people (at least not to me. As a gay man, I’m not much interested in feminine men).
I saw some documentary about ancient medical devises on PBS - apparently when the king had a rectal lesion, the public wanted to do the same to themselves so they actually invented instruments to tear the rectum so they could experience what the king was experiencing. I call that going above and being the call of “doody.”
I wouldn’t play this game because of my very “woke” anti gun and anti-war sentiments. I think whenever I see a game ad with someone holding a gun, what a sad thing that the video game industry has evolved into - everyone has to use a gun to solve their problems or get “points” in life. Pretty disturbing when you see how young males are groomed to be gun lovers. And really, it’s the worst possible sort of image to be feeding them.
