The U.S. To Lose $29 Billion in Tourism This Year As Europeans Say 'No Thanks
  • They chased him round and round with similar questions about Israel and Hamas. He said it really felt like they were looking for an excuse to say he was a terrorist sympathiser/suspect, so they could apply terrorism laws to him.

  • Welcome to the Labour police state
  • Even on the middle east eye YouTube I'm seeing so many appeals to authority and "it's illegal, simple as. Full stop. Not for debate".

    Not sure if brigading or what but it really worries me how people think.

    It's not like they're stupid, it's like it's uncomfortable for them to think.

  • why are website language switchers in the current language?
  • Every time I make a tool like this, I try to wind up any Americans in the company by putting the US flag as English (simplified) and the Union Jack as English

    It's a fun back and forth we have switching it between the two (inevitably someone makes a PR to put it back, and we go on)

  • There's a reason why polls say Social Media ranks higher in trust than News today
  • I suspect OP is using it wrong. Usually "the hard R" refers to a really bad "no-no" word.

    Though the phrase has probably become a slight meme due to Linus from LTT getting the phrase's meaning wrong in the same way you guys have, but on a live broadcast.

  • ‘No Kings’ was biggest protest in U.S. history: data analyst
  • Apparently that alt parks account is super weird and q-like.

    They had "140k" members counting protesters (they claim). Seems made up.

    For now I'm sticking with the low-but-verifiable numbers. Otherwise we leave ourselves open to being ignored the next time (on numbers/data).

  • Who the hell can afford a printer
  • My local library has been getting refurbished for a couple of months.

    It's really thrown off my ability to do paperwork, as they were the only people around with a working printer.

    I actually had to fix the printer at work. Horrible stuff.

  • South Carolina Republican Rep. RJ May distributed hundreds of child porn files under username ‘joebidennnn69’: feds
  • If they only get to use their toys in specific cases, they'll pretend it's always that case.

    Right now the key words are "insurrectionist" and "terrorist" and "illegals". They say the keyword, they suddenly get the loopholes.

    It wouldn't be a stretch to say they suspected "illicit" materials just so they could gear up for their hero LARP.

  • "Which fictional universe would you rather live in?"
  • For short-term wins I'd go with Neal Asher's "Polity" civilization as at some point in the 20th Century, the AI just decides to take over and become benevolent rulers.

    No societal collapse required.

    But also a higher risk of enslavement by giant sentient crabs. Your call.

  • "Which fictional universe would you rather live in?"
  • Agreed, but honestly either is ok. I'd prefer the Minds ruling me to humans too.

    The main thing that would scare me is the Megadeath scenarios from the Idiran war.

    But that seems like a pretty rare thing. Also, they seem to be a lot better at the sex and drugs thing than ST, as well as how they handle crime.

    Coming after these guys is Neal Asher's Polity. It's like Culture "lite", And the robots are a bit less "extra".
