If you can afford it, there is always the vaccines from other countries. It’s fucked up that it’s come to this and there’s even more of a price tag on health.

Surely this will decrease food prices /s

Because we had ~3 weeks worth of dystopia news in the span of ~3 days

Almost certainly. But that doesn’t make it less fucked.

I knew it was going to be bad, but fuck that comment section is radioactive.

I’m gonna miss food

In an ideal world, starlink should be internationalized by the U.N.

We don’t need half a dozen companies in every developed nation putting their own garbage in orbit just to provide rural internet for a minority of a minority of the planet. Those systems are in orbit, they can provide internet to the overwhelming majority of humans.

But instead we’re gonna fuck up our ability to use a load of space telescopes needed to help see potentially dangerous asteroids, and all these satellites burning up in orbit are gonna fuck up the atmosphere, opening up the hole in the ozone layer even more.

It dying is better than it being in the hands of a billionaire fascist.

Then don’t reimburse him.

Ignoring the lack of evidence or argument presented here for that, I’d rather take a slowdown than Musk get a single new dollar.

It’s effectively the same, but a slower more painful death.

Idk I kinda like being able to take a shit without having to fill out a form every time.

I just wanna make video games and eat carbs.

IDK LGTM

One of the currently open ones is this one:

Hilarious

It’s already got 4 PRs

lol

The prime directive is a great example of how even a good rule taken to the extreme can end up causing more harm than good.

But beyond that, it’s just an easy aid for the writers to add a point of conflict for their stories. The prime directive as a value within the federation seems secondary to me.

They wouldn’t be able to finish stealing that car before a thousand hungry lawyers ate them alive. Why do we let media companies do that?

They would probably actually have a decent shot at getting away with it, at least at first.

And to answer your question, it’s because the anger that companies generate by doing this shit ends up turning into piracy. Why would you try to punish a corp for doing this (likely wasting your time) when a cheap VPN and basic tech literacy gets you what you want?

The effort ratios are way out of wack when it comes to digital products. It’s easy to get around digital bullshitery, not so much in the real world where we are all car dependant.

Nobody should use chatgpt to generate long rambly paragraphs complaining about nothing in particular with no point or ending or punctuation coupled with maildrop.cc as a temporary email

I don’t think there are enough such edge cases for it to make sense for it to be legal.

If a corp needs an employee to be that close, then they should hire local, and/or rotate staff.

At a bare minimum, I agree, no corp should profit off of housing.
