Having to spend money tp avoid being socially ostracized IS frivolously spending money.

• Unworthy of serious attention; trivial.

• Inappropriately silly.

• Of little weight or importance; not worth notice; slight.

The free part was an oversight they’re been working to remove.

Praise be the norman

The FCC hasn’t really punished anyone for not having a license other than those that are really bothersome/disruptive or are doing jamming. But like, if there’s civil unrest, the laws probably don’t matter anymore so you can just ignore the law.

Thanks for reminding me of this movie. :D https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump_Up_the_Volume_(film)

Yes, Rafael suffered a 99-1 loss. Guessing he’s the 1, so a total loss.

That thing which runs Tesla seems like just the megalomaniac that would let that happen. I have a dark future prediction that he’ll repurpose the gigafactories for drone production. Unless something stops him I don’t see a future where one of his businesses isn’t rededicated to war manufacturing in some way.

Also: I felt thick as hell when I connected Faro and Pharoh.

Edit: I was wrong below and am corrected in replies to this comment.

The moniker Tankie is a reference to the Tiananmen Square Massacre because of their minimalizing or outright denials regarding the incident.

no problem there as long as you don’t stop at the whip shop on the way

That’s actually a trait of the conservative mindset and not humanity writ large.

Imagine living in the midwest where neither coast gives a shit about you. :)

Autonomous warplanes “that fly missions alongside human pilots”.

I’m sure they’ll keep the humams involved. No way they’re trying to build a drone army that won’t question orders.

It’s not hyperbole to say they’re working toward a terrestrial version of Equilibrium. At least, until they can build it in space.

I am not who you replied to, but my guesses:
