Terraforming other planets would be astronomically more challenging than fixing our own planet and we don’t seem to be able to get our shit together to do that. Even if we are capable of terraforming other planets, it would take many centuries at minimum. O’Neal cylinders are far more likely to work once we start industrializing the moon.

And the more times you do it, it’s like playing a Russian roulette over and over again, you’ll eventually be caught.

What I meant is that it would get more and more difficult with more mass surveillance. Think about it, in 1950 it would take relatively little effort to fake an identity by inserting fake documents into a few physical cabinets. In 2000, cyber security was so weak that hacking to some government agency to modify their databases would be relatively simple. Now it would require advanced social engineering, and is extremely risky, and on top of that, they have a lot of mass surveillance.

If we assume everything will have a biometric database, you’ll have to find ways to change your fingerprints and face every few decades.

Over an long enough duration, you are guaranteed to be caught.

Having to keep creating fake identities to prevent people and governments from finding out that you’re immortal. That would be a massive pain in the butt, especially in a world where mass surveillance of the population is common.

As someone who regularly uses both British and American English both at work and in my personal life, I sometimes mix them unintentionally.

I almost always use the same spelling for either word and use context to make sure it is always clear which mold I am talking about.

I do think there is value in distinguishing the words with different spelling, but without getting everyone to agree on which spelling would mean what, I think this won’t be very productive.

The British Museum can’t even keep its collection from being stolen (ironic), there are 2000 missing artifacts if I remember correctly. Any excuse that “the British Museum can protect the artefacts” doesn’t hold true anymore. They should return the stolen artefacts to be displayed in the county of origin. Egypt has very strong laws to preserve and protect ancient artefacts.

Assassination attempt on Trump in a rally.

I’d seriously worry about not having immunity to whatever diseases exist in that world, and the people of that new world not having immunity to whatever I might be carrying from my world.

Probably try and figure what the skills of the other survivors on the train to assemble a team with the goal of survival and information gathering.

While an aggressive attitude won’t change the mind of bigots, a polite and respectful response to someone who advocates for forcing kids to go through the wrong puberty is going to be especially difficult for people with personal trauma for it, and it’s unreasonable to expect it of them.

I think it’s a reasonable reaction to throw polite discourse out when people use “moderate” as a cover for their bigotry. This is like when “moderate” person said that segregation of black people was reasonable when people were fighting for their civil rights, and that since the moderates weren’t pro-slavery so they were the good guys. No, you’re not the good guys, you’re just not as bad as the super evil guys. Congrats.

Now I won’t tell you to “fuck off and die”, but I will tell you to fuck off. If you were someone I personally knew, I would have put in the effort to be polite and try to educate you or whatever, but since we don’t know each other it’s unlikely to land.

I say it as someone who used to think like you.

For me it’s branding something as “AI” as a buzzword. Almost all product marketing is full of AI hype these days.

You can run DOOM on E.Coli bacteria, so I’m sure you can run it on anything.

Any front engine rear drive car going in reverse, lol.

Nobody told her about the Streisand effect…

There is always the Wikipedia style link to the definition whenever such word arrives. This is what browser tabs are for.

I had to go back to check…

Also Joker makeup.

If that ever happens, I would start bringing duct tape to flights, tape a magazine to cover the screen.

I remember having a conversation with a former friend a while ago, and he, as a guy who worked for a certain company that makes most of its revenue from delivering ads, spoke about requiring use of front facing camera and using eye tracking technology to ensure you’re actually watching the ads and not going somewhere else while the ads play. If you aren’t looking at the ad, it will play another ad afterwards.

He spoke about it as something he is looking forward to, since it would increase revenue. Pretty sure he was pitching this idea to his boss hoping to get a promotion.

I wasn’t aware of her existence or that of the vampire facials, but this is some Carmilla stuff. Next they will tell you they need virgin blood.

If these are signs of being old, I was born old.
