My current hell at work summarized in one image

In practice it is. People use it as a synonym for trickle down economics. As in, the billionaire’s yacht rising with the tide will somehow trickle down to the rest of us.

Looks like I spoke too soon, my bad.

I must have gotten studies that looked at height confused with weight.

For the occupants, any pedestrian hit by an EV will generally be in worse condition than if they were hit by an ICE vehicle.

While this is ultimately good, the benefit can’t be applied so broadly as “the breakthrough that makes EVs safer than ICE cars”.

Edit: /u/inclementimmigrant had it right, not me

The solution as always is to reduce car dependence.

Yikes. Did you at least have a working display port or something?

If you can afford it, there is always the vaccines from other countries. It’s fucked up that it’s come to this and there’s even more of a price tag on health.

Because we had ~3 weeks worth of dystopia news in the span of ~3 days

In an ideal world, starlink should be internationalized by the U.N.

We don’t need half a dozen companies in every developed nation putting their own garbage in orbit just to provide rural internet for a minority of a minority of the planet. Those systems are in orbit, they can provide internet to the overwhelming majority of humans.

But instead we’re gonna fuck up our ability to use a load of space telescopes needed to help see potentially dangerous asteroids, and all these satellites burning up in orbit are gonna fuck up the atmosphere, opening up the hole in the ozone layer even more.

It dying is better than it being in the hands of a billionaire fascist.

Then don’t reimburse him.

Ignoring the lack of evidence or argument presented here for that, I’d rather take a slowdown than Musk get a single new dollar.

Idk I kinda like being able to take a shit without having to fill out a form every time.

I just wanna make video games and eat carbs.

IDK LGTM

One of the currently open ones is this one:

Hilarious

It’s already got 4 PRs

lol

Agreed. Though it has crossed my mind that the in universe explanation for why the Federation is so enlightened and willing to care for all of its citizens because of the horrors Earth went through.

But yeah, definitely would like to avoid WW3/the Bell Riots.

Warhammer is for the tabletop. Anything more is a living nightmare.

Don’t worry! WW3 will be preceeded by the Bell Riots, a collection of revolts by people treated inhumanely and stuck in slums. It will be a fun little distraction before the fireworks. It’s even got it’s own count down now!
