That's why I design targets.

Depends on what parts of college you're referring to. Most of the people here who have been complaining about college tend to focus more on being forced to fit into a collegiate system while living on campus and being unable to. That isn't capitalism causing failure.

Capitalism ends up acting as an excuse for people. An end to capitalism doesn't make college easier or remove all of life's problems.

That got tossed out awhile ago.

How much shit?

It is what he's probably been taught.

You're going to bring up Civilization and not bring up Gandhi, bringer of nuclear fire?

At a certain point, water rights would come from the end of a gun.

Especially that the current US state borders are drawn rather poorly. There are few states that could operate independently. There would immediately be water wars out west and political consolidation in the east. The Mississippi River watershed would require some form of international treaty to handle its trade and use.

And there is a sizeable amount of federalization in the USA. The government of California is not run like the government of West Virginia.

I wouldn't say that the Brits won, buy they were able to negotiate a managed peace with the USA which benefited both parties.

The Monroe Doctrine was a British idea which got the USA to act as a power to preserve the post revolution status quo, allow for British trade access, and let the UK keep its remaining colonies.

You also had a peaceful resolution of the border between Canada and the USA, something which the UK wouldn't have pushed for if it was trying to be militarily dominant over the USA in the Americas.

The last time that the USA and UK could possibly be considered unaligned was the American Civil War. With that, the UK made sure not to recognize the CSA nor did it participate in recolonization efforts in the Americas like the French in Mexico.

Other EV's have this problem too, so it isn't just a Tesla problem.

I think the main issue is what happens when software support ends. There are tons of industrial and medical equipment with outdated software that work well today, mainly because there is an air gap between their computers and the Internet. That air gap may need to be enforced onto cars as default in the future.

100 years: The EU has made English the default language across most of the union. Small nations went first as inter Union migration obliterated the ability for these countries to teach their local languages fast enough. Far right groups tried to preserve their languages, but they've largely been demoted to secondary status in their own communities to English, like Irish Gaelic. The last internal holdout is French, Spanish, and Portuguese as there is enough external demand of the language. French language law mirrors Quebec law, Spain and Portugal aren't harsh about it.

I don't see that much shift in the Americas except the possible loss of French. Mexico may become more English speaking as more Americans move to Mexico for lower cost of living, especially with retired populations that won't learn Spanish. Spanish in the Americas may standardize as cross-border media becomes bigger.

I expect Africa to be in a three way struggle between English, French, and Arabic as the lingua franca.

I expect languages to standardize in Asia, but I expect that India and Pakistan will choose non-English languages.

The person is writing from a business prospective. If people are replacing their phones less often, it means that fewer phones are being purchased each year. If your company makes phones, that means adjusting to a shrinking market no matter what your company does.

One group of friends went to signal. One group of friends stays in SMS.

I don't really have the ability to dictate the messaging service app to others.

There are tons of technology historically that were implemented with gigantic fundamental flaws which were properly identified and later solved or mitigated. These flaws were openly published and there was a discourse in society about them.

So, unless you can use that knowledge to immediately brick all use of that technology, that flaw is likely less severe than you think.

Yeah. Lemmy's former growth came from external events which brought users to Lemmy. Without more of these shocks, I don't see Lemmy growing.

The concept of work was a lot back different in the Middle Ages compared to now. There were a lot more breaks when completing work and the boss often fed you as it was generally part of your pay.

You could make a great argument that agricultural work was likely easier than industrial work. It just happened to be that the number of agricultural workers cratered during the Industrial Revolution.

Even now, there's differences in intelligence between races.

They got rid of that in 5.5e. They also made the orcs Mexican for some reason

It needed better writing and directing, but the actors were very qualified for their roles.

I'm deleting Homeworld 2 from existence.
