The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

21·4 months agoThe possibility of a US coup is becoming more real everyday with the Trump administration.

Shane Gillis was unfunny and racist in his opening monologue this weekend, but this skit was pretty good. (And is, believe it or not, tangentially related to OP.)
45·4 months agoOh that’s one of my favorite moments. (I seem to recall it’s happened more than once with various people and Tom Morello.)
What’s the chance there’s a maga somewhere who just today is saying to themselves, “I used to like The Onion before they got political!”
1·4 months agoThat’s essentially what I expect is happening, and it’s going to be difficult to convince me otherwise.
Look at them overachieving when they only need to worry about memories like goldfish.
3·4 months agoI feel like most of the objections could be satisfied by having non-essential holodeck stuff in rooms only.
So you have a bed and lighting and core furnishings without it. But you get to use the holodeck to adjust all that to your taste, decorate the room, and othewise make the space yours. Maybe you get a virtual companion if you are lonely.
OTOH, I think replicators are already capable of doing most of what would be done by the in-room holodeck in that case.
To me the energy needs don’t really matter since energy consumption only matters in emergencies in Star Trek usually. If the first things you lose when there are power issues are your decorations and your virtual companion, I think that’s OK…
Edit - and in the limited space available to a personal cabin even in the Trek universe - it would be cool for your kitchen to be able to become your movie room with a simple voice command, or a personal gym, or an extension to your main living area during a party, etc…
Unless they release verifiably unredacted/unedited documents (and I’m not sure whether/if verifably unredacted/unedited documents are possible in this circumstance) I’m not going to believe they aren’t holding things back out of self preservation anyhow.
The worst possible time for anything like this to be released is during the Trump admin, because now I have to apply an extra layer of skepticism.
I don’t even have to go to a conservative sub to know they are or will handwave away his presence on the flight logs, and I know nothing worse is going to be released about Trump or any Trump ally, so what’s even the point aside from a witch hunt for all Trump’s enemies who somehow will be on the list?
To be clear, I’m sure that Democrats and a disappointingly long list of non-politicians are on that list too, and they should all see the light of day.
Yeah, I peeked at your moderation history after posting, it’s OK, I see now this is the best I could have expected in answer. Good day to you!

Bullshit.
If you want to use the browser despite those controversies then that’s your choice, but be honest enough to admit they exist.
I don’t use brave and haven’t for a long time, but these things are well documented.

Please Lord, let this debate actually happen.

I’d say it’s a good thing we have antitrust laws, but we all know how much laws mean to the group of mobsters currently in control.
411·4 months agoI fucking love this more than I really should. 😂 🤣
I’m just one person wondering why it seems like bats are involved so often in stories like this.
Not sure either of these counts fully as what OP is looking for, but -
The idea of the technological singularity feels right to me. There’s a whole section on the wikipedia page about scientific objections to it, and I get that, but if we don’t kill ourselves before then, it seems like an event that almost has to occur at some point, to me. And maybe it zigs instead of zags and we get star trek. Or maybe it zags and we get terminator. But probably neither of those I’m guessing, and these days it’s hard to imagine that it would put humanity on a worse trajectory than we seem to be on today.
Similarly, but less seriously (for me) I like to consider the whole “maybe we’re in a simulation” theory.
