I hope they are. I just don’t trust corporations/governments to take the major and expensive steps required before it’s too late, and I have a hard time seeing past that. Individuals can only do so much.

I don’t have kids of my own, and don’t plan to. I often wonder what kind of world my sisters children will grow up in.

People don’t think pot is addictive because it’s not chemically addictive, like nicotine or alcohol are. Those things actually change your body chemistry, and your system becomes reliant on them.

Pot doesn’t do that, but it can definitely be psychologically addictive . Virtually anything can be psychologically addictive, like video games or watching TV. If you feel the need to take a few bong hits every hour of every day, or if your desire to get high interferes with your responsibilities, then yeah, you’re probably psychologically addicted. Get help.

Getting wasted every once in a while is probably okay, though. People need to make sure they’re not like one of those idiots I knew in college, who insisted they drove better when high. They didn’t, and neither does anyone else.

Yet another reason not to buy a Ford.

Can’t wait for it to teach that Mussolini was a misunderstood guy, and that the KKK is just a harmless social club.

I’ve got a fever, and the only prescription, is more cowbell.

I didn’t realize it was a thing. Thanks for taking the time to explain!

Ah. I thought this was an isolated incident. I understand, and agree with, your point.

Fuck it. This scam was clever enough that I appreciate and sorta admire it.

Damn that was quick.

In every other circumstance I can think of, “I can’t make money doing a thing unless I break the law” means don’t do that thing.

Why should AI get special treatment?

Yes, but you can also do a chargeback if the company you purchased from sold you a lousy product and isn’t being reasonable about returning it. If you had paid with cash, that cash is GONE.

Each method has its pros and cons.

Concerning when read along with this.

Was it merely done to kiss up to China?

I’m amazed and delighted that Ukrainian troops have managed to occupy a part of Russia for so long. I thought they would be driven out in a day or two. This is pathetic (and hilarious). It reminds me of the early days of the war, when Russia thought they would take Kyiv in less than a week.

Huh. You might be right.

Quick guess - as people become enormously successful, the values they had as individuals often fade. Executives forget what it was like to live paycheck to paycheck (assuming they didn’t have rich parents to begin with). They feel less need to hide (or even acknowledge) their flaws, because now they’re making “fuck you” money.

Our society values money over integrity. If you’re rich enough, you can literally get away with murder.

Excuse me, the term is Diminished Gluteal Syndrome.

Mind blown

Speaking as an American, I’d like to say that any other American who gets sincerely mad at this deserves to be messed with. It’s funny. Get over yourself.
