The soviets had been thinking about this at least since their socialist revolution with the idea of the new soviet man[1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Soviet_man

Also, the entrepreneurs were male and regarding salons, men, like Lionel Ritchie, Jamie Foxx, Michael Jackson, Neon Dion, Kenny G, and others wore it.. so it was also a big trend in men's hairstyles.

Does that mean in a few decades we'll see old men in tight "skinny" fitting jeans that we used to normally see worn by college girls --albeit girls would wear the ankle high versions with the slits. Pair that with dad bodies&

Wasn’t it heavily influenced by a vision of dystopia, mixed with Luddism and cybernetics? I’m not an enthusiast of this gender of fiction but that’s the impression I get. It basically adds humanity to a future (where for some the ideal was

Making money and operating at a loss contradict each other. Maybe someday they’ll make money —but not just yet. As many have said they’re hoping capturing market will position them nicely once things settle. Obviously we’re not there yet.

But that would put them between federal law vs state law and federal law supersedes state law and state law supersedes local laws.

Alex Jones has a credibility problem. While he has used thinktank & other quasi-governmental institutions's papers to find nuggets of information he contaminates that with "interdimensional beings" blah... So yeah, frog

Lots of “so-called” conspiracies end up being true in one sense or another if not exactly matching a sometimes misled conspiracy. I mean, take a look at the freaking Epstein episode -what the fick is that all about? If that’s not the “swam

This is not the intelligence of one person, even the most intelligent person but rather the intelligence (wisdom) of the whole crowd -the whole world democratized (I.e. available to everyone for a nominal fee). That’s an important differenc

I think you’re conflating things. It’s not a single human brain. It’s processing power to provide the human trove of knowledge and reasoning at the beck and call of millions of people nearly simultaneously. No single person would be able

Sometimes it’s just ideology ploughing through as in the cases that happened in Ukraine before WWII but after Lenin died.

There are lots of animist (etc.) societies that mark/hold certain grounds as sacred and unfit for other purposes and prevent their usage. Should we tell them to get on with the times?

Probably it's set-up as distinct from societies that still treat executions as social occasions with the occasional "double-header". Either that, or a dig at the Jacobins. "We used to too; although others still do it to

I dunno. Pretty sure creditors aren't innocent little old ladies. They're financial killers and knew the situation but also knew they had Germany and the Troika behind them to save them if things went south (as they did). It wa

What choice did Greece have? Germany was not extending favorable terms, they were punitive, so what choice did they have but take the least awful choice? Syriza tried but Germany had the upper hand and of course didn't give an inch -

Also the experience of Greece not too far back and the austerity imposed by Germany is not quite forgotten. Varoufakis[1] can attest to its severity. The Greeks voted against it but Germany imposed its will. [1] https://jacobin.c

How about smart traffic signals that detect traffic and manage traffic accordingly. For example, there are traffic lights that manage the traffic between a high throughput road and a low throughput road. In this instance, it could wait to

It’s always risk/reward. The risk isn’t only physical; it can also be intangible. For now at least, it looks like they’ve reassessed and decided it’s not worth the inconvenience.

True, but you also have former agents who complain that they get fired for things w/o having taken a poly. So, it seems, for some, passing a poly as proof they don’t do something wrong is important.

They didn't mean it as a pun, but understanding it as a pun helps understand the situation. In religions, missionaries are those people who spread the word of god (gospel) as their mission in life for a reward in the afterlife. Obviou

Those humans are creatures and lack a bit of that which characterizes civilization. They exist in all countries and within all ethnicities, sometimes to varying degrees, but they are everywhere.

That sounds plausible. Still, "Britain" isn't the name of any sovereign nation I know of. It'd be like a datacenter in Eemshaven getting attributed to "Holland." It's a bit sloppy. Also California isn&#

Why do they do this? One of the political divisions is not like the others (one of them is also a colloquial name): "which will be transferred and processed at facilities in California, France and Britain." Keep it consistent, el
