If it were actually a true story, maybe autistic OP thought he was returning the joke in kind. "Lol shouldn't you be starving because the British stole all your crops but potatoes", "lol shouldn't you be bombing hospitals". Seems like a fair trade if you don't understand what was intended. Signed: an autist.
Now make mammograms not $500 and not have a 6 month waiting time and make them available for women under 40. Then this'll be a useful breakthrough
Basically, the Wachowskis (directors) are trans. The trans aspect was only one part of the film, but the idea is basically that your body in the real world (sex) is separate from your identity in the matrix (gender) and the character Switch (who has a male body but is a woman in the matrix) is maybe the clearest example.
The Wachowskis themselves both say that there is a strong trans element in the Matrix while Lilly Wachowski also says she doesn't know "how present my transness was in the background of my brain as we were writing".
Biden is only like 18mos older than Trump. They're essentially equally old. Like a 2% difference in their ages.
At various parks, including in Wyoming, I have seen tourists:
approach a bison (within 15 ft or so) while holding a toddler. Multiple other people approaching bison. Bison can weigh over a ton and can be aggressive.
take a selfie with and then attempt to touch a male elk on its head. It was in a herd and actually charged them but didn't fully commit and hurt them - just scared them (but not enough imo)
dozens of people taking severe risks when hiking in remote areas. In the desert, 10 miles out when it's 90f+ wearing sandals with no water and no cover. Rushing by other hikers on a <2ft wide ledge with a 300ft sheer drop while wearing sandals and carrying their young child in a bulky carrier on their back, etc.
getting within 25ft or so of a male moose to get a picture, moose was visibly agitated. Moose weigh about a half ton and can be quite aggressive.
large group of people following black bear female with cubs, on foot, for pictures - like 50ft back but still too close for their safety and for the bear's safety, especially when they're following it.
Frighteningly many people have zero respect for nature, treat national parks like theme parks, and put themselves, animals, and their children at risk for no good reason in situations that are 100% avoidable.
I get the sentiment, but that is a really dumb take. Software automation is a hell of a lot easier than creating robotic automation to disassemble ships of all shapes and sizes. That's why art automation has been done, and industrial freighter recycling automation has not been.
How would that even be possible? Presumably, you'd need to break the ships down into pieces first, and even then, you'll be dealing with huge numbers of oddly shaped and sized components of varying materials. It makes a lot more sense to have people do that, though it is likely very dangerous.
Seems more like a job for unions and workplace safety regulations than for robots
Holy shit, I thought you were joking.
Houston Police Chief Troy Finner said at 1:53 p.m., a female, approximately 30-35 years old entered on the west side of the property parking lot. She was armed with a long rifle, wearing a trench coat and a backpack, and accompanied by a 4 or 5-year-old child. Finner said she began to fire the gun after she entered.
Finner complimented the off-duty officers on the scene, one an officer with Houston PD and the other an ATF agent, who both quickly engaged with the female suspect, returning fire.
"It could have been a lot worse," said Finner. "They stepped up and did their job."
The off-duty officers said the woman threatened to have a bomb after she was shot. Her vehicle and backpack were searched and no bomb was found. She died at the scene.
Finner said the child with the woman was hit and is in critical condition at Children's Texas.
A 57-year-old man was also shot in the leg and is being treated at the hospital.
As a 10+ year reddit user who has switched 98% to Lemmy, only checking reddit on my computer every couple days: Lemmy is completely fine, and I have seamlessly transitioned from Reddit.
Its userbase is more technical than Reddit's, and there's not as much content. But it is a perfectly good Reddit alternative. I find it isn't as addictive as reddit, which is awesome. I just wish there were more educational communities akin to AskHistorians, AskScience, etc.
I mean, maybe disk drives are outdated, but being unable to buy used games or give your old game to a friend is garbage (but great for profits of the console manufacturers and game studios). Not to mention that as long as it's a digital download, you don't own the game - you lease it at a flat rate.
Limiting the options and ownership rights of the consumer for profit is bad.
If only there was an objective way to measure the productivity of a commercial enterprise.... like with money... oh wait, they have been making MORE money? With LESS productive workers? Curious
For everyone saying this is not harsh enough, it is a WEALTH tax. Not income, wealth. All owned assets. Meaning any of these people who don't increase their net worth by at least the amount of the tax each year will lose more and more of their total wealth year over year.
It isn't intended to strip all mega rich people of all their stuff immediately - that obviously could never pass - but still is intended to open the door to wealth taxes and redistributive policies more broadly.
It's a great move. If we can get anything like this passed, it is a significant victory.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has been very useful to me. My cardio has improved dramatically, I am much stronger than I used to be, and I've gotten a lot of enjoyment out of going from absolute trash to slightly less trash over 2 years.
But I don't expect it to really help me in a fight. If I did get into a fight, I certainly would do better than if I hadn't trained; but one thing I've learned from fighting people for like 8hrs a week is that it is REALLY easy to fuck up and get hurt in ways you wouldn't expect. The outcome of a fight is unpredictable - especially when the other person could have a weapon. The best martial art for self defense would be running.
