I’ve said it for years, as soon as it’s commercially available I’m getting photoreceptors realignment surgery.

Very James Bond, I like it.

And then the cool twist where the bad guys figure out how to exploit it and uno reverse all the good guys computers. Man, that would be a fun movie. I’m glad we’re not talking about real life or whatever.

From what I understand, you would probably have to pay geologists extra (and I guess archaeologists) to not lick stuff they dig out of the ground.

By that standard my couch, leg, most of his stuffies, and just the empty air around him have also passed the canine version of the Turing Test.

I wonder if they’ll point the finger in the right direction. We have many decades of experience of dissatisfied citizens simply taking their rage out on the current culture war target instead of actual oppressors.

Humans Horrified would be a great track

We really are living in a cyberpunk dystopia.

I’m always mildly concerned about how shocked people are about animals being conscious beings with feelings. Do people really think we are mentally that different from other animals with brains?

Sorry, but there’s a whole trial to get through and he’s very pretty. He’s probably gonna be around for a while…

Sorry, obviously the public awareness of the people making these decisions is dangerous information.

DAMN YOU ANTHROPOMORPHIZED COMPANY RUN BY NOBODY WHO THEREFORE CAN MAKE SHITTY DECISIONS HIDING BEHIND CAPITALISM!!!

Thank your glorious mods for protecting our corporate overlords.

Of course not. But do people really get to make shitty decisions that impact other people while hiding behind the veil of corporate structure without being directly named and shamed for their decisions?

True I was sitting inside by myself without friends before it was cool.

There are some things they can do like agreements/contracts going several years into the future, but the problem is anything they can do that on its face locks in the next admin, can be undone by the courts…which they now control at the highest level by a 6-3 majority, which at best remains only a 6-3 majority for the next 4 years and probably much much longer than that. Thomas will retire in this admin and they’ll get a new young ultra conservative in his place.

They’re gonna fuck everything up. They promised to.

They have a razor thin margin in Congress though, so anything requiring purse strings (money) our best hope is that they’re just really dysfunctional (which we know they are) and fight too much about how much to hurt other people to get much done.

But yeah, it’s looking dark.

“The security and privacy of our customers’ information are a top priority for Booking. com,” Booking. com’s spokesperson told Ars. “Following our investigation, we found that the issue occurred due to a customer input error during the reservation process, where he inadvertently entered an incorrect email address. That email address, however, belonged to another Booking. com customer”—Alfie—“which caused the reservation to be linked to their account.”

Yeah, but they’re on the same side, and it isn’t ours…

A Potential New Epic Trilogy

Ugh

Cities

The only shoplifting I see is the shops that keep arbitrarily lifting their prices.

I think the best redirect would be to convince them to “self-pasteurize” their milk. You can make an entire ecosystem of grift products on the best home pasteurizers to avoid harmful toxins or whatever the current buzzword is.
