Death panels are real in TX

No thanks, I need this as much as I need a VR desktop

I wonder how old the pilots were. Last I knew they were having a hard time getting young pilots over there.

I remember when the rebuttal everyone used to all of these countless privacy infractions was “I don’t have anything to hide” as if life is going to be ideal always and that the person handling the information won’t use it for their own benefit. As usual this sort of misplaced paranoia people have about their cars doesn’t justify the existence of the app. Things like this are more of a threat vector than a tool.

I do not welcome this CCTV in the bathroom everyone is a channel dystopia that too many have bought into.

I’m looking forward to another Spiderman origin story. I wonder how he got his powers

When don’t they have a meltdown?

Sounds like a good reason to release them

He has the money, I say DO IT!

They want to go to space because an asteroid if mined could have more raw materials than are in circulation.

Do you think that’ll be shared among our species or is it more likely they’ll use it as leverage to become something more powerful than kings, presidents or corporations. That is a tremendous amount of economic leverage if you can deliver it.

They have no interest in living in space but 100000000% interest in exploiting it for resources with autonomous miners. The space exploration/tourism is just to get R&D paid for by the big earners but not really wealthy. Not wealthy enough to make a space station anyway.

I don’t believe it’s possible for another 100 years but that’s 2 generations which is nothing if you’re a dynastic wealthy family who thinks you’re charting the course of humanity. If it sounds crazy keep in mind they were the original latch key kids, growing up with au pairs and private jets. Their thought process operates on a different inertia to the point of brain damage due to isolation from the consequences of their actions. One day we’ll view greed as a treatable mental illness in the DSM. They have a hard time relating to normal people and see the working class as meat machines.

What do you think they did wrong?

That’s not a very high bar to exceed

People like to pretend Mastodon is confusing

I wonder if it’ll catch on only to get destroyed by political operatives and bots

Give Gargron time he’ll add ads and buddy up with Meta while signing mystery NDAs

I got my invite and quickly deleted it when I found out that everyone there loved James Gunn and came at me for pointing out he can’t be the flagship celeb to advertise the platform. My notifications blew up for days. It wasn’t worth sticking around getting harassed when I’m not the bad person!

In general I think people are too eager to block and defederate for little to no reason other than disagreement. There are exceptions but as far as a normal conversation it’s an overreaction and the antithesis of federating anyway. We already have plenty of siloed walled gardens that are echo chambers.

People used to be able to do research. Haven’t they ever heard of the Dewey Decimal system?

That’s because everyone thinks they need to post all of their information to discord to get validation instead of maintaining open web accessible blogs that can be archived
