How about a voting license that needs to be renewed every 30 years? You have to pass a test that checks if you are capable of thinking objectively or something like that.
Any type of criteria that is not absolute (like age), can and will be used to exclude certain groups of people from voting.
Except you don’t need to soundproof your detached house. You can run and jump and yell all you want without bothering anyone.
Based on your description we might be neighbors
If you read the whole text and interpret the highlights as emphasis then it’s just annoying and hard to read (sort of like those people who add random commas everywhere). If you read just the highlighted text then it sounds like a summary, but there are mistakes in it, which is why I assumed AI.
I think it’s an AI summary (if you read just the highlighted part)
But THIS response is Vlad the Impaler levels of overkill.
I resent the comparison to one of my country’s most beloved leaders.
Why is he watching it inside the remote connection window instead of his own browser?
Sci-fi spacesuits could be more advanced and maintain a higher internal pressure. The ones happening in the future at least.
To ruin it further: that single image that was used for all four panels is AI generated.
Am I the only one bothered by the fact that the last panel is the same image mirrored?
The word for floors in my native language is the same as the word for “upstairs”. And it’s the same in a lot of European languages (French étage). And the ground floor has its own separate word. Using French as an example again, the word is parterre, literally meaning “on the ground”. So numbering in Europe goes ground floor, first floor, and so on. Now in English, the word being the same, it can sound confusing, but I assume the British just adopted the same system as the rest of Europe for consistency (although they’re not usually known for doing that).
I always explained this difference between floor numbers in my country and the US by language: in my language the word used for upper floors only means upper floors, so the 1st floor has to be above the ground floor; while in English they’re all floors, so ground floor is the first floor.
But I didn’t know the British use the same system as my country (and most of Europe afaik). They could’ve just adopted the same system, despite language, for consistency.
What about people who enjoyed the animated series?
To put it simple: fine china is ceramic, but so are bricks.
If a family member gets banned for cheating while playing your copy of a game, you (the game owner) will also be banned in that game
Hm… so if you don’t trust your kids to not do dumb things in games you also play then don’t share them
But why is a character from Alien: Romulus there? Did he get confused for Ford Prefect? But Ford would not speak against towels. So yeah, still confusing…
It baffles me that these types of jobs exist in the same area as mine. My company doesn’t care what hours I work as long as I get things done, has gone fully remote and never going back, encourages people to not burn themselves out and take time off, we have actual unlimited PTO (i.e. nobody coming after me for using too much), etc. I always thought that’s just the Silicon Valley mentality, but I keep seeing news of big tech companies doing all kinds of crazy backwards things and I don’t get it. All the perks I get are not because my company is run by angels, it’s because they understand we’re actually more productive that way.
it’s not like the kid knew either way
That’s why the mother got charged. She was supposed to know better. And leaving an loaded gun where a child can get it does make a difference vs leaving an unloaded gun where a child can get it
The child is 6. Wouldn’t she take the fall no matter what?
How would a police report have proven anything anyway? It simply shows that someone claimed it happened. And she probably wouldn’t have come to that conclusion if she wasn’t scared by the propaganda in the first place.
