You don't remember buying an Xbox 260 in 2805?

From now on, you will only be pregnant.

Also, the ad signs will alternate between adult toy stores and anti-abortion messages every few hundred feet.

In Wisconsin, Walker straight up put a campaign slogan ("Open for business") on those signs. Fortunately, those got taken down for a simple "Tony Evers, Governor".

IMO, it's not great regardless of which direction it's going. Fuck ML'ers, but it isn't really necessary to create one-way engagement with them.

In the United States, this has a racial component. If we depend on cops to overlook certain things, then they will be more likely to overlook it for white people than black people. Enlightened Centrists will say "whelp, they technically broke the law" without any further insight.

So your users can go on their instance, I guess? That's not a great reason. Cut them off or don't.

If every author in the class filed a claim, industry advocates warned, it would "financially ruin" the entire AI industry.

Journalists need to stop this shit. Yes, it would financially ruin them. It'd ruin them the same way drug dealers would be financially ruined if you confiscated their drugs.

Anyplace wired with plain old telephone lines could do fax. Though I believe the POTS->cable company converters won't work with fax.

Printers that include a built-in scanner often include fax because it's easy. They just need to add a modem and some software, and the modem hardware is dirt cheap.

Protests must be more sustained instead of the bursts of activity we've seen. Even direct action will fail if it's not combined with large scale protest methods. Unfortunately, people get worn down doing constant protesting.

Trump won't be around in another 10 years one way or another. It's rare to find cults of personality that outlive their leader. But if we use Nazi Germany as an example of what happens next, it's basically a return to liberalism. Half the country went to that almost immediately, and the other half just took longer. Granted, Germany has a better social safety net than America does now, but it's hardly anti-capitalist.

TBH, I don't have a good answer. I'm mostly doing the anarchist thing of using social groups to get people to rely less on capitalism and more on each other. That's more of a long term thing, though.

Accelerationism like that never works. When it all settles, you get extremely mild improvements for a whole lot of hurt.

Gonna be hard for some people to remember that .gov sites are compromised sources now.

I think Super Mario Bros might have been the first. Might depend on what counts as a "platformer" or a "water level".
