Ah, yes, the old argument of “you live longer, so the billionaires get to own more of your time”.
No. How about if I get to live longer, I get to enjoy my tiny little bit of time longer? It isn’t scarcity by nature - it’s scarcity by design.

How many times does this gotta happen before we start calling them missiles instead of rockets?


I’m not dismissing its use. It is a useful tool, but it cannot replace experts at this point, or maybe ever (and I’m gathering you agree on this).
If it ever does get to that point, we need to also remedy the massive social consequences of revoking those same experts’ ability to have sufficient income to have a reasonable living.
I was being a little silly for effect.


So we’re going to depend on AI, which can’t reliably remember how many fingers humans have, to take over medical science roles. Neat!


Because Wyoming not?


Americans hate metric so much that they’d rather use metric!
We as a society need to start defining our damn acronyms. Stop assuming everyone knows what every acronym is, because they do not.


Ha! My first thought too. Gotta Make America Cancer Again.


This is a helpful way to break down Nationalism vs Patriotism. Nationalism being a delusional belief that we are the best, and Patriotism being a love for your country and fellow citizen and striving to be the best.
If the owner of the company wasn’t trying to heil a cab on the national stage, people wouldn’t be doubting these EVs nearly as much.
Not that they’re particularly high quality anyway.

Liar says other liar will keep his word.


I’m really not sure which one you mean, because they own interest in a ton of companies.


They use cheaper materials and pass they savings onto themselves!


Or it’s people trying to muddy the water to both-sides something. I’ve been noticing an uptick of posts from the far-right crowd creeping out of the woodwork recently, and they’re all up in arms about people saying US Conservatives are intolerant.
Being told not to be an asshole to others isn’t intolerance. It is the intolerance of intolerance - which is a necessary part of a tolerant society.
See: The Paradox of Intolerance (which the far right nuts call the new Mein Kamp. Gross).


There is more interaction, but also a lot more crazy far-right assholes the past few weeks at least (in my experience).


If you can help it - sign up for nothing with a direct bank withdrawal or debit card. Use a credit card, because it puts an important barrier between you and your purchases. It’s way easier to get help with stuff for credit cards, and it’s easier to cancel than getting a new bank account. Bonus: charge backs punish these assholes.
Oh shit, it’s almost like a lot of other vaccines, like the flu vaccine. You’ve uncovered a big government secret! The Immuminati will be by to give you a gold star tonight.
With the US asbestos comeback, are we getting Sweet Lead now too?
