Who exactly is still buying these things? Fool me once, shame on you, but fool me one hundred times...

The System Shock remake was really good, and that went through dev hell also, so it's completely possible.

It's so great that Republicans made regulating AI illegal. /s

Even in an authoritarian regime, popularity still matters. Political scientists estimate that governments are in danger when at least 3.5% of the population is in the streets. The No Kings protests reached about 2%, and his popularity is still going down. If he were smart, he'd be extremely worried about that.

Source? Some googling turned up nothing like this.

Also the Onion. They're supposed to be satirical, of course, but reality is so insane right now that they're basically just reporting on the actual news in a comedic way.

Women can get pregnant so there is the possibility of an affair pregnancy, STDs work differently for men and women social and emotional standards are different.

Except for the social part to an extent, none of that is inherently true. Trans people obviously complicate a lot of those assumptions, but also cis people can have their personal issues that diverge from the commonassumptions. I would guess the idea is to encourage treating people as unique individuals rather than as stereotypes.

The fundamental basis of conservatism is that freedom means having power over other people. Therefore they believe that any attempt to extend freedom to others means taking it away from them.

Eradication =/= extermination. The latter means zero left alive on the whole planet. The fact that the US stopped at clearing screworms from only North America while leaving them alive in the south (and Cuba) always left the possibility of this happening.

This is really bad. The US should have put in the funds to exterminate this thing while we still had a functioning government. I dislike the article's focus on prices as the main consequence here. Screwworms are fucking horrifying, and they can affect humans, too.
