The requirement to use google or apple services is a deal breaker. If I can't verify my age using an EU wallet without having an account with a US tech company what is the point of any of this?

You drive up to the car wash, there's a little terminal with a screen and a card reader. You pick the program, pay for it and drive into the machine. Can't remember the last time I got out of my car when getting it washed.

That human baseline is wild. Either the rapid data test is methodologically flawed or the entire premise of the question is invalid and people are much stupider than even I, a famed misanthrope, think.

You pay at the car wash where I live.

Comparing this to Thailand/Cambodia is absurd. Anyway there's no point arguing with people like you. The evidence is clear. The political rhetoric from Israel is clear. People who actually study genocide are very clear. Israel wil

Ah great so when the ceasefire came into effect then people stopped being killed? Like would happen in a war, right?

It's not genocide, it's a special murdering operation.

Is progress still exponential? Feels like its flattening to me, it is hard to quantify but if you could get Opus 4.2 to work at the speed of the Taalas demo and run locally I feel like I'd get an awful lot done.

Well kudos for admitting your error, it's rare enough these days. Here's the thing, the executive does have the power to enact tariffs in emergencies, but if you actually want to change industrial policy it's a long term proj

You said the DoJ, which is part of the executive. The judicial branch just ruled on a matter of law. That's what they do. Also the power of the purse has always been with congress, the constitution is very clear on that. Finally the no

The DOJ? What are you talking about? This is the judicial branch, you know one of the three coequal branches of government. It just ruled that the power to set tariffs is not in fact a power of the executive branch.

I think we should lock them all in a room filled with CO2 and methane and then ask them if they still think they're not harmful.

Yes scientists made a mistake by calling something what it us. Definitely not the morons who don't understand the difference between weather and climate.

You can't guarantee it. Maybe you think you can but you can't.

Steal from the rest of society? Would you cop yourself on. Governments levy taxes and use that tax money to fund things that they think will benefit society. A la carte funding of the bits you think are worth funding is not a workable propo

A single well made piece of art can have a profound impact on society for generations. A well laid carpet is... Just a well laid carpet.

Hah. People absolutely took them seriously and still do. They are pitched as if they're serious important art about issues. People discussed it like it was King Lear.

The Nolan Batman movies are absolutely risible in retrospect. It's hard to believe how seriously everyone took them back then.

Yeah the 62196-2 connector is standard in Europe. It's not legal to sell cars with a nacs connector and hasn't been for a long time.

Yep, I'm using Murena, a fork of Lineage OS but have to have a google account to use my banking app. I'm not even sure the bank understand this requirement exists.

It is comical. Exchanging one set of US overlords for another. I suppose it is possible to use a degoogled android but most people won't be doing that.

What does it mean for a country to not survive? There will be people there. There will be a system of governance. Sure, there will be hardship and suffering, but I don't see how this equates to extinction.
