If this isn’t a warcrime, it probably should be. Depriving civilians of water is in no way proportionate to the loss of a single aircraft with no fatalities.

Or maybe tax the rich? They have money. They just don’t want to use it.

No, that’s just me being stupid.

This sounds like the first chapter of 1986.

Then why are price so high?

The word “tick” is very important here.

I would assume they were placed on a bedside table pointed in the general direction of the fucking.

But still.

It means I think everyone else is an asshole.

I might be too, but I don’t think I am.

Depends. If the chief murdered the guy, then that’s the restaurant’s responsibility for not keeping the chef secured.

Right, but that’s not to protect them from AI. It’s to protect them from us, once we come to our senses.

Because the people with money know they don’t have to listen to the little people.

We don’t even need overblown fears about AI killing everyone. AI is ruining students, ruining artists, causing massive layoffs, being used to monitor and judge our behavior, and is attempting to influence our behavior. It seems there are attempts to give these glorified auto-complete programs increasing amounts of resources and authority.

This is bad for most people. And those of us born after 1980 or so have no illusions that anyone in power is going to care about the welfare of the little people. They only recognize money and power. We don’t have money, but there are many kinds of power. I hope someone recognizes the signs, and changes course before it gets bloody.

That’s kind of the point, isn’t it? Our way of life sucks.

Ah, the Wicked Bible, first brought to my attention while reading Good Omens.

Can’t argue with the word of god.

I had been at work for two hours, but yes.

I missed the “X” in that title, and read “EFF is leaving the Electronic Freedom Foundation,” and was very confused.

Did you check to see which sub-lemmy you’re in?

Is this a late April fools joke?

This is an anti-gift.

I’m on board.

I’m curious to know why they are there. They can’t have much in the way of line of sight from there.
