unfortunately czechs dropped from 3 to just 1 seat 😒

so, all hopes on her. but definitely no pressure 😂

Except this “routine” is word for word clone. It is more like people retelling the same political joke with only difference being the politician’s name… No one calls it new joke, or “homage”. We call it “yes, this joke was given to Moses on stone tablet” 😊

Well that would require too much work invested into stealing of https://xkcd.com/327/

The currently enabled Autopilot and Full Self-Driving features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous.

The Atlantic | Neal Stephenson’s Most Stunning Prediction

The sci-fi legend coined the term metaverse. But he was most prescient about our AI age. By Matteo Wong

this is (wants to be) commercial service operated by private business and has no relation to your government and how it handles healthcare.

Why I think this is dystopian: the rich are spending their money to fly their pets on private jets instead of, I don’t know

the rich are already spending their money on flying their pets private; this article is about scheduled service, which is exact opposite of private flying.

putting your dog into cargo space of an airplane is a lottery that may not end well: there have been stories where the dog was left on tarmac in extreme temperatures and died from overheating, even when its owner paid some premium package that promised to handle the dog with extra care, for example.

so while we should definitely think twice if we need to use the airplane for a week long vacation we will spend drinking margaritas by the hotel pool, if i were offered a job across the ocean, being able to get my dog with me and being sure she survives the trip would be a deal-breaker for me.

what is notable here is it seems to me that at this point it is project that exists in a dream of some marketing expert who knows more about hipster bulls…t than dogs, so we will have to wait if the service actually lifts off the ground to see how it looks in reality.

from the article:

Before boarding, dogs will be treated to calming pheromones, music and colors they like best.

right, dog’s favorite color… 😂

there could easily be one foldable kennel on board for such occasion. also - muzzles.

Choose one

Dystopia doesn’t mean what you think it does. Hint: it is not existence of poor people. It doesn’t have anything to do with poor people at all.

If you are a troll, well done. If you are really that dellusional, please get help.

Didn’t happen.

do some red circles and arrows help?

Also didn’t happen.

Why are you asking me?

because you are the one who started it. people usually contribute information into public discussion with hope it will be useful to other readers.

I’m not the one accusing others of “nOt rEaDiNg dA tHrEaD bEfOrE u AsKeD a qUeStOn”.

no, you are the one AsKIng rHETOrIcal qUEsTioN 🤣

No one has actually provided an on-topic reply to it yet.

you were pointed to the fact that your questions were already answered and you can easily read these answers. that is as on topic as it can get.

you chose weird hill to die on.

Your “rhetorical question” and objections you raised were already answered in this thread before you raised them.

You might have found out if you bothered to read the discussion before sharing your opinion.

So the guy died and decomposed in 10 minutes and somehow it mysql’s fault?

Say you hate Star Trek but you like the people on the Star Trek instance

i am glad we have a solution for this widespread problem! 😂

Users can now block instances.

finally…!

However the block doesn’t affect users from the blocked instance, their posts and comments can still be seen normally in other communities.

oh, so it is totally useless… 🙄

imagine disagreeing with the headline and conveniently cropping the text below the headline, so it can’t be seen whether the argument maybe makes sense. what a great political philosopher you are… 😂

so… no step 2, it seems. imagine my surprise :D

For purposes of this conversation you can use citizens, civilians, and children interchangeably

no, you cannot, read the conversation again.

most people have closer relationship to their own kids than to some other random co-citizen. so if some clown claims, for a sake of his argument, that he would be willing to sacrifice his own kids to protect… literally anyone else, you know he is a moron, or a liar. or both.

All are examples of collateral damage, and many of Hamas’ human shields will fit into multiple categories.

sure, but that was not the point of my remark.
