Great idea. I can save on money by shitting in the street instead of paying for treatment. I'll just dump my trash as well. This way only things that everyone absolutely has to use, or things the fabulously wealthy want, will be funded

The government (NASA with their commercial space effort) is the reason there's a SpaceX and a dragon to be available as backup. The government seems to be doing alright here.

There's an argument to be made that that would destabilize MAD by encouraging a first strike.

Is there no chance that instead of NPR all of a sudden being exposed as biased, it was your own biases that were exposed?

I think "well established" is greatly overstating things. It seems to fall far below "established" at all.

Same. It works out every time there's some class action over a spill because I can show that I have the credit monitoring and ask for the $3 or whatever from the lawsuit. A few more years of leaks and I'll have enough to buy a leg

> It's just a very predictable decision But if it's a certainty, with perfect information, then there's no choice to be had. The choice is an illusion.

What am I making if it was determined before I existed? It can't be a choice, because I don't actually have any other choice.

Isn't this just saying that you _don't_ have free will? All of your choices are made before you are even born in this world view.

Our inability to predict something on an arbitrary timescale isn't the threshold for free will, right? Otherwise, we'd say tornadoes and hurricanes exhibit free will.

At what point did the brain transition from not "harnessing quantum uncertainty and chaos theory to combine stateful information and recursive processes" to doing so? Do fish brains? What about the jellyfish nervous system? My pro

Yikes, begging to use a restroom? You'd think using the bathroom would be within the realm of a human right.

Frankly, the EU didn't go far enough. Instead of allowing this popup bullshit, they really ought to have enforced do not track.

Honestly can't keep up with the conspiracies and euphemisms. Which party is deliberately sabotaging it and how are they cheating?

It's becoming more and more common for cars to support wireless carplay/aa as well as wireless charging.

I mean to imply that you’re straight incorrect on top of being pedantic. The dictionary link provides definition 1b for turf as “an artificial substitute for this (as on a playing field)”. Not only have you added nothing of value to the top

Yeah, that tracks. They do have more local water, but also fairly affluent areas that can afford to maintain a green lawn in 120F summers. Totally stupid.

I'm saying that you haven't provided anything to back up your conspiracy theories. "I've seen videos", "the twitter files". None of this substantiates your original claims, and are pretty typical of conspi

Your original statement was that they lied about the effectiveness. The article you presented to back that up was about how the effectiveness was different for a different strain. So either you didn't read the article, didn't unde

Golf courses, yes. Lawns? I grew up in Tucson and rock lawns are standard. I'm sure I've probably seen grass lawns in Southern AZ that weren't turf, but I'm having a hard time remembering one.

None of this addresses anything I asked. This is absolutely conspiratorial drivel and griping. Saying “comorbidities but censorship” only solidifies that you’re not willing to take an impartial look at anything.

This borders on intellectual dishonesty on your part. They’re saying the vaccines, with their effectiveness around the original quoted numbers were ineffective against a new variant.

> It's too hand wavey. Natural instinct is to fear the unknown, and to respond quickly to threats. Doesn’t the dodo show that that isn’t a given?

Indeed, now I know that when I get my private plane (I'm temporarily not a billionaire) I will also benefit. Privacy isn't some monolithic good. There are, frequently, very good reasons to restrict privacy. Things like the finance

Good lord no. If that were the case, my emergency contacts would be getting called at least once a week on my drive to work. However, seems reasonable to have that as an option. Unfortunately, like many people have already mentioned, the so
