Trains are already as “self driving” as they can safely be and with how many people a train can move compared to how few people need to manage one, there’s already not much reason to go fully automate.

So are my Gen x friends, but they all shut me down if I say anything that implies that Democrats are nothing more then the lesser evil. I ended up leaving a discord server I made because they were arguing with me if I posted anything critical of Biden and look at me like I have two heads when I say that climate change action should take priority over the economy. Most of them believe that recycling plastic works. They’ve completely bought into the narrative that keeps them enriching the powerful.

One vector for infection is the eyes. Even people wearing eye glasses had a measurably lower infection rates then people who didn’t.

There’s at least one video I saw of a maskless person claiming they didn’t need the mask to protect themselves because they already have covid.
Reminder, masks were not suppose to protect YOU. They were to stop you from coughing/spitting on other people. You needed eyewear/face shield to properly protect yourself.

They had a reputation for buying better companies to own the IPs and gutting the teams before the late 2000s. It’s sort of cathartic seeing that happen to them now, but not really because all the shitheels who made those decisions will probably be getting a nice payout while the actually workers will just get kicked to the curb.

They’ve never made good games. They sometimes allowed one of their devs to make a good game when they weren’t looking, but no one is perfect.

14 Signs of Fascism:
- The cult of tradition. “One has only to look at the syllabus of every fascist movement to find the major traditionalist thinkers. The Nazi gnosis was nourished by traditionalist, syncretistic, occult elements.”
- The rejection of modernism. “The Enlightenment, the Age of Reason, is seen as the beginning of modern depravity. In this sense Ur-Fascism can be defined as irrationalism.” 3.The cult of action for action’s sake. “Action being beautiful in itself, it must be taken before, or without, any previous reflection. Thinking is a form of emasculation.”
- Disagreement is treason. “The critical spirit makes distinctions, and to distinguish is a sign of modernism. In modern culture the scientific community praises disagreement as a way to improve knowledge.”
- Fear of difference. “The first appeal of a fascist or prematurely fascist movement is an appeal against the intruders. Thus Ur-Fascism is racist by definition.”
- Appeal to social frustration. “One of the most typical features of the historical fascism was the appeal to a frustrated middle class, a class suffering from an economic crisis or feelings of political humiliation, and frightened by the pressure of lower social groups.”
- The obsession with a plot. “Thus at the root of the Ur-Fascist psychology there is the obsession with a plot, possibly an international one. The followers must feel besieged.”
- The enemy is both strong and weak. “By a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.”
- Pacifism is trafficking with the enemy. “For Ur-Fascism there is no struggle for life but, rather, life is lived for struggle.”
- Contempt for the weak. “Elitism is a typical aspect of any reactionary ideology.”
- Everybody is educated to become a hero. “In Ur-Fascist ideology, heroism is the norm. This cult of heroism is strictly linked with the cult of death.”
- Machismo and weaponry. “Machismo implies both disdain for women and intolerance and condemnation of nonstandard sexual habits, from chastity to homosexuality.”
- Selective populism. “There is in our future a TV or Internet populism, in which the emotional response of a selected group of citizens can be presented and accepted as the Voice of the People.”
- Ur-Fascism speaks Newspeak. “All the Nazi or Fascist schoolbooks made use of an impoverished vocabulary, and an elementary syntax, in order to limit the instruments for complex and critical reasoning.”

- Comment on Charlie Kirk in his own words. 4 weeks ago:
Well, no. Kirk was still a shit. These conartists will take a sliver of truth and build a racist narratives around it. Anyone who could cut though the bullshit and deliver a good faith discussion on DEI gets drown out by the charlitins because there’s no audience for that. Kirk was both proving a shit produce to his customer base and increasing that customer base because he always had to ratchet up his rhetoric because he’s competing against the other shitspinners.
Another example here is George Abaraonye, the president elect of the Oxford Union. His grades didnt meet the requirement to even be considered for a place. But he got a place anyway based on… you guessed it. The fact that hes black. And even though hes made many public statements that call for violence over debate, hes now the president elect of the Oxford Union. A debating society.
How do you even fucking know that? Why are you worried about a “debating society”? Are you worried that someone unqualified to be a debater has the position now and we’ll all have lower quality debates on the shelves of grocery stores? The only reason you give a shit about that is because someone told you to.

They also could have just grabbed any graph off of google images and relabeled it. That was a apparently a popular shortcut in corporations when someone had to present to their bosses.

Still not going to work. You’ll want an acid like LCR to do the job, but you also aren’t going to see any real gain from a sink faucet. I’ve done it to shower heads, but those have much smaller passages and it had to be over night.

The US also wanted an ally in the area who was into capitalism. Similar to how SK got a lot of support in building their infrastructure, but they went even farther into capitalism. Both countries are really depressed now.
He was trying to rationalize why Bush II’s wars were going to be bad for them. In both cases, completely ignoring the huge loss of life that incurred.

The economy works and real estate is always a good investment. Also, the best thing that can happen to a nation is to be defeated by the US, because the US will then rebuild their infrastructure. The only example that teacher would cite was Japan.
