Counterpoint:

You can say anything in an authoritarian state, the consequences are that you’ll get disappeared in the night.

Machines that kill humans is a frightning concept

There’s a lot of hidden cost associated with supporting legacy features/standards/technology

Do they have different frequencies? Require different antennas?

Are there cost implications for radios / amplifiers? Do ASICs support only newer modes? How much obsoleted / legacy HW is required?

And that’s just from a manufacturer standpoint.

Are more licenses required? Or other regulatory impacts?

What a blast from the past

You kidding? They just have to wait out the storm.

Wait until everything is on fire, loot it all, then oust the conman and sell high.

It’s easier for the media to say “the criminal was paid in bills with the serial numbers B12340000 to B12349999” than list 9999 different serial numbers for tellers to be on three lookout for.

when in reality it results in murderous regimes that oppress their people, their neighbors and everyone else there is to oppress.

Huh TIL that the USA is communist.

Communists aren’t destroying the US government as of now. Unless you consider the Russian assets on the right as communists?

It’s what the models are trained on.

Only if you have the proper high btu burner

US ambassador William Taylor said that using “the Ukraine” implies disregard for Ukrainian sovereignty.[25] The official Ukrainian position is that “the Ukraine” is both grammatically and politically incorrect.

Originally Pandemic 2… i miss flash games lol

You think we’ll have enough?

Fascists are actively slashing funding, firing experts, cutting programs. Research labs are currently in shambles. The future secretary of health is a fucking anti-vaxer.

You thought covid was bad? We’re going to experience a pandemic with no government action first hand.

Plenty of random innocent people have died from package bombs. All it takes is for someone to hate your boss / your neighbor / someone unrelated with the same name. Or just, someone unhinged

So do we need to take time dilation into account?

1 minute forward in all reference frames? Is there an 81pSec difference in the time jump?

Be prepared for cars in tunnels! And poorly functioning cars at snail pace, if that!

Heavier*

I’m sure they’d be treated extremely well. Usually there’s some good incentives to encourage defectors

You’re spouting unsubstantiated bullshit because you think you’re special and that your opinion is worth shit, somehow more than that of medical professionals and scientists.

I’m sick of these fucking conspiracy theorest trolls.

Kindly shut the fuck up and go away.

The less profitable we are, the less they’ll bother us.
