The solution are the bent sheet metal cans that only take one manufacture, a few machines, and some steel to make. The way folded towels have been dispensed for >50 years. But everyone needs to make money on everything, so having a metal can that you pull one folded paper towel from isn't enough control over the one person that wants to steal the whole thing.

Yeah, really awesome that 2 decades of market manipulation allowed them to be the monopoly on AI. Such good capitalism, when even the longest silicon producer, Intel, can't even compete. I love my two party capitalism.

But unemployment is at the lowest ever! We added 200.000 jobs. There was only a soft recession. Line goes up, and just in time for something important. What a coincidence. The economy is so great and we're back in the bull market!

This ban is abhorrent, but uhhh yeah 4-5? I can remember when I was that old. I was in preschool/kindergarten. I could barely read. I cried because my best friend wouldn't let me take his star wars toy outside in the dirt. I thought if I pushed too hard when I pooped my balls might fall out.

I was fucking stupid and would have gone along with whatever my parents told me to do. I literally had no concept of myself yet. At that age we are purely taking in the world, our parents want and try to control what goes in.

I know a guy who took that deal in mid 2000.

Can a car be disabled by pouring a cup of vodka through the window?

I 100% reintroduction of wolves. They are an essential part of the ecosystem.

But you remember that other animal that there were millions of before we showed up and functionally exterminated? I think they need to be reintroduced, but until then, cows are perfectly fine animals to fill that role of large grazing herbivore.

What if there was an incentive to raise cattle to intentionally be released into wolf areas for them to hunt? Or, the bison that should be here. Pay me enough to live comfortably, and I'll raise bison with the sole intention of releasing them.

Yeah, I'm waiting for the death of my current TV. A LG that's plain old LCD, but HDR and 4k, no smart shit. Luckily I know hardware and can physically disable things. I break and remove things so hardware is physically incapable of connecting.

escalating consequences for unintentional non-compliance.

Oops! Spied on you. Sooowwwyy. I'll take a paid week off(to think about your nudes).

I'm scared that if they start including all our shit posting in their model data, it will roast me back for saying dumb stuff.

The McDonalds here had an AI prompt for like a week. I don't care because all I need to do is say the number for my mobile order and it was faster. But everyone over 30 would be screaming and yelling shit about "who are you", "what's happening", "am I supposed to talk now?". I still get stuck behind old people that struggle with actual humans at the drive thru.

General technological competence is so far behind what can be offered to consumers. People are the bottle neck, look at bear proof trash can designs. And I don't think it's getting better like it was. With the internet now packaged into 2 click apps, the majority of kids are just doing that instead of getting into FOSS and Linux like the majority of the early 2000s internet users.
