Just once I'd love to see a major government force a company into bankruptcy by making them clean up their own mess.

Company: "We can't clean up our industrial mining waste, it's too expensive and we would go under!"

Government: ~~okay well we will have the taxpayers pay for it. Here have a bailout. Remember, daddy loves you so much~~ "Oh then I guess you should have factored that into your costs. Get to work. And when you have no more money to pay for others to clean it up for you, we expect to see the executives and management out there with gloves and a can-do attitude"

Honestly I find Russian general's belief in a 3 day offensive more credible than that.

Nearly 1000 days later, even.

I legitimately think he will die before ever seeing consequences.

The people in charge are too fucking scared to actually punish him because TERRORISM WORKS

They just straight up don't want to punish people because they're afraid some MAGAts might get mad and ~~start~~ continue to shoot things up.

They tried to murder members of congress and the vice president once, and nobody involved has recieved a punishment fitting of the crime. Certainly not the punishment we were taught happens when we were in school.

Nationalist Christians?

Hmm.... We should come up with a word for that.

How about Nat-Cs?

They wear their title proudly. Openly admit it in the streets.

And yet for some reason, are allowed to continue to operate freely.

Our country goes to war for less.

Edit: A friend of mine got this shoved in their mailbox today

Totally not domestic terrorists...

They're all the same Q.

Which brings about the question: Is Alexander half-Q, or did Q just steal a klingon baby...

My old school didn't understand why none of us wanted to use the shiny new dark green playground equipment on the large flat freshly sealed blacktop.

Never mind the fact that it's too hot on the pavement, the tar sealant smells horrible, and the color choice of the equipment guarantees 2nd degree burns...

We wanted the grass and wooden equipment back. But the school though wood was too much maintenance, And grass grows too much.

I'm not gonna go check to see if kids are even using it anymore, but satellite imagery shows the playground is still just as gross.

I saw an arcade version at a flea market in Ohio a few weeks ago.

I was confused as fuck, but figured "well the creator probably doesn't give enough of a shit to sue anyone over it"

I guess I'm kinda right.

"Yay, I get to legally murder someone today! This'll shut up my hippy liberal relatives" -Metz, shortly before pulling up to the teen's car

If

Data = current AI

Then

Modern lifeforms = aerobic bacterium,

Modern flip Smartphones = Motorola Microtac,

SR-71 = Wright Model B,

Rimac Never = Ford Model A.

Comparing Data to modern ai is just an insult to Data.

And since this is the world we live in, most people proceed with that understanding.

This was not the case in 2007.

You go right ahead and ignore the lever, I'm sure all the people on both sets of tracks understand you not wanting to get involved since it doesn't benefit you to pull it.
