It’s still a cool border agreement though. The new border goes right down the middle of the island, but it is agreed that whoever manages to get their sorry ass to that piece of cold rock are free to roam the entirety of it.

They should make a TV show.

F.R.E.U.N.D.E.

So I guess the kids are gonna go to the dark web. What could go wrong.

I will look forward to Darth Musk throwing a tantrum against Australia when they eventually fine X for not complying, but that’s about the only good thing to come from this ban.

Oh yes sure, it’s great they stop the kids from being brainwashed by the algorithms. They really should ban everyone, especially the elderly.

It’s impossible to earn that much money, but at some point it’s also impossible to hold or spend. Banks can only take so much safely, so it needs to be placed in companies and investments that require some management and all the consequences and responsibility of running those. Spending it is problematic because it will disrupt whatever market it is injected to, potentially harming a lot of people.

The only real solution is to avoid billionaires in the first place by taxing corporations much much harder.

Same job. Same pay.

Based on your description I’m going to take a wild guess: Your father is a “functioning addict”.

It explains everything, including his self destructive behavior.

Football is called football because it’s played on foot, unlike polo and other horse sports.

The picture is from 1970. John Cleese is 30 or 31 years old in that picture…

I don’t remember asking Grok a god damn thing.

They won’t whine. They’re going to flip around and claim they never supported him.

Who the hell goes to his page anyway?

It’s difficult to read if you can only watch the person typing.

Sort of like lip reading

A brain itself doesn’t feel physical pain. That requires a nervous system and pain receptors of which the brain has none. Brain surgery is done with only local anesthesia for the skin and scalp.

We also know that braindead people don’t suddenly start creating brain waves even if the body gets mechanical resparation and pulse. It’s quite literally “off”. So, I guess the creation of a dead brain won’t feel anything or start thinking about anything by itself.

The question is what inputs they give these artificial brains. It’ll think that, and that will be it’s “sensory” input. Whether that can cause some emergent brain waves that could be interpreted as emotion or other stuff is impossible to say. I doubt it.

It’s really a question of whether you have electric heating or a furnace or district heating.

It’s not common to have more than one heat exchanger for hot water if you have a furnace or district heating.

Electrical is much easier. You can just place them anywhere and they don’t cost as much to install. However, electricity is usually more expensive than district heating.

Yes sure. I am speaking in general. Half the time I read that community, I only realize where I am when I see the mods calling other people out in the comments. It happens in every single thread, which is why I think they ought to make it more visible in every single post. It’s a great community and I do read it occasionally, so I don’t want to block it, just because I’m not allowed to comment myself.

That community hits “front page” quite often. It’s easy to miss the community name (and rules) unless you pay attention.

It would be nice if there was a brother community that had the same topic, and a default text in all posts explaining this and redirecting the men to that.

The money would easily pay off and stop more wars than when it is spent on “defense”.

If someone wants to fight, just offer them a sandwich. They are less likely to attack you after having a nice sandwich.

I’m fine, thank you for your concern.

It is by all means a humourous shitpost. The last line in my post is a pun on the rap song 99 problems, which should be the give away.

Pretty nice until the day inevitably comes where one of the RFID chips malfunctions and the fridge keeps insisting that you throw out something that isn’t there and you can’t reset the inventory without downloading an update from some company that doesn’t exist anymore using a profile that your ex has the password for.

Then you’ll wonder why you didn’t use to have these sorts of issues, and your kids will ask how you updated the fridge in your childhood. As an adult you are expected to know this stuff. With your authority being undermined like that they’ll stop listening to anything you say and start smoking crack after school. Now you have a malfunctioning fridge and junkie children. Thanks a lot, dad.

No thanks. I’ve got 99 problems, but a fridge ain’t one.
