A chunk of CEOs are sociopaths, and they’re all certainly some form of dictator. Either way, they all are completely divorced from the consequences of their decisions with the only exceptions being their ability to be profitable and maintain a favorable image. Piss off other rich people and you’re done.

It would probably work out better for everybody if he actually did take them to Mars.

As proven by the voting public, too many people live in a fantasy land where the impossible is possible, like making lying cheaters into honest presidents. I don’t understand what benefit anybody thinks they could get from a space station on Mars. It’s not like they’re gonna get to live there or get any of the benefits from it. It must be the same people that refused to place any restrictions on Billionaires, like taxes, somehow they think a billionaire base on Mars is good for them.

The only issue with doing that is selling it to a nefarious party hurts the users and not really AMD. Or at least it isn’t hurting AMD anywhere near as much as it might hurt an innocent party.

So many dystopian novel authors predicted this. P K Dick and Gibson among others. Forced to pay for life critical necessities like air and water, as well as fees to enter your apartment or take a shower.

Companies have given up making anything new. It takes too long, requires a large R&D investment, and expensive tooling to manufacture new things. So they just start making up ways to claim ownership over everything they can and the delivery method to get it there. Robber barons and bridge trolls profiteering as middlemen that actually produce nothing. Want a concert ticket? Buy it through a service that bought it from the venue and pay fees on top of that if you can get them at all on release, if not pay again to the same company that lets scalpers resell and they get fees a second time. Want music? Pay for the data service, pay for the music service, pay again for the album if you actually want to keep it, pay for the cloud you store it in.

It‘s only getting worse.

This is what AI companies are of course pushing for. They want all the profits but none of the responsibility.

You can see this man’s brainshape. There’s no way you can’t see it.

Or your points are shot because of that cam you stuffed in the engine and then decided to not go with electronic ignition.

I’d say that’s true. It’s easier to get strength back than it was to get it in the first place. Anecdotally I went to the gym regularly for a long time. It took weeks to add weight increases. I quit because covid, work, etc. Started going again years later and it was far more rapid weight advancement, however it was harder to hit the higher weights I’d done previously. Just getting older, I guess.

Thanks for reminding me of this, I’m gonna be paranoid stretching next couple of times.

Make sure you get enough potassium, calcium, and magnesium, along with hydration.

The rich kid solution. Just SMH when I play against some super-low level player with all the skins and kit that normally take months to acquire - if they can even be earned in the first place, some items are cash only. Usually huge tryhards too with other “skill assists”.

They don’t need this to do that if things go that direction. They can make up whatever they want.

There’s a lot fewer rich people to kill than there are poor people. Doing the trolley problem on this means the rich people lose.

I said “the bathroom”. Not “the men’s room”.

Your call.

You can smoke in the bathroom too. Like the cool kids from previous generations did.

Sure. You can do plenty of things that aren’t allowed. By that same argument a millennial could’ve smoked a joint in target 20 years ago. The only difference is the likelihood of a negative outcome.

There are absolutely pro-authoritarian agitators here who feel the need to inject their venomous or smug anti-west rhetoric at any opportunity, just looking to start an argument or push propaganda.

As far as posts about African nations being ignored I’d say that’s par for the course for the West. We’re wildly ignorant about the continent, so much so that we say that someone is “from Africa” while ignoring the 50+ countries that exist there. Our news doesn’t cover it unless we can bomb it or exploit it.

Target doesn’t allow any of that in the stores, so no they can’t do that anymore than someone could light up a cigarette.

That said, millennials didn’t just disappear when pot became legal. They can vape, smoke, dab, or whatever the heck they want right alongside everyone else.

The important thing is that pre-Z gens can appreciate the improvements, whereas Z and after just take it for granted.

That would cost $51 billion. Can’t have that.

Good. Those clowns will trash the index funds that so many depend on for retirement funding if they tank. And AI certainly will, and SpaceX is dependent on the whims of a drug addicted wingnut.
