I read a book once about doctors who went into the slums to treat cholera in the 19th century- noblesse oblige. We are now WORSE than the Victorians.
I remember this came up during COVID. The government was worried that homeless people and illegals would be afraid to report symptoms. GPs are specifically free and don't have to ask for papers or insurance to combat…
Tammany Hall did not happen because they were immigrants it happened because someone thought it was a good idea to have people who could not even write their own name vote. Democracy hinges on a well educated populace…
Yes I too was downloading anime in the early 2000s. As someone living in a small provincial town there was effectively no real way to watch Naruto or GitS. Piracy made the world a digital village.
If everyone wears a smartglass it becomes easier for the creeps to hide. A tree in the forest.
When a minor gets online it is only a matter of when not if before they get questions about their underwear.

America does not want friends only vassals. Which arguably is what Canada became after the British left.
I am starting to notice a pattern here: all these datacenters are located in places with cheap land and lots of poor people. Odd for something that I am assured is the bright future for mankind.
Most people do not have money to invest. There should be a law that forces the rich to go on an annual safari to see how poor people live because we are literally entering "let them eat cake" levels and it will not end…
The Netherlands prides itself on its coastline and dunes but by the time mass tourism arrived the country was already rich. The secret ingredient is always money. Spain looks the way it does because that country was…
LLM is just math. Which is why I do not like AI- it is nothing like in Deus Ex or those Japanese anime were computers are cute little girls who want to blow up the planet. Reality is as always sorely disappointing. Now…
Most soccer players tend to retire in their late 30s so they are better off pursuing an education after their pro athlete career. Of course the best are multi millionaires who never have to work and can live from…
The thing is you cannot just switch sports. When we are talking about the really TOP elite of football those kids get into it at age 5. From that age on every day consists of hours of football. There are scouts looking…
The only good use case for a credit card is if you are buying something from someone you do not trust. I have a CC and it use it a few times a year. But using them to pay for groceries or ordering something from Amazon…
You too can have no healthcare, no pension and no job security! Sign up to America today.
European powers had taken over shipping in that region since the 17th century because their sailing ships were superior to anything the locals built.
The US can't limit anything beyond their borders. We ae living in the twilight of the white man.
This is why I have two separate browsers. If you want to do official stuff like paying for things you need to get through cloudflare.
You are supposed to take every threat as real. Which is also why calling in a fake threat is considered a big federal crime to deter clowns.
If this means universal basic income the GOP will kill themselves in apoplectic rage!
The people ponying up the cash expect a return on their investment- they are not in it for the religious experience.
I am getting the feeling that Americans don't understand that words have meaning. Trump insulting, threatening and bullying everones is supposed to be one big joke. But we are talking about sovereign states here that…
If the only thing people can do is regurgitate an AI agent than what good are they?
Practically every time a corporation ends up polluting the environment the government ends up paying for it.
