How this isn't obvious and something we should collectively want is beyond me. We really don't fucking need more than 8 billion people. I don't think we need more than 1, and even that is pushing it.

I like being able to give instructions without having to poke a damn screen.

So they just trim the instructions so it doesn't take joke orders, so it can make more reasonable decisions, like:

"May I take your order?"

"Two double whoppers with extra mayo and a chocolate cherry banana sundae"

"Oh you've GOTTA be joking!"

Steps at a time. It takes time and effort to wake the giant and get it on its feet.

Royale with cheese, fries with mayonnaise, and a beer. And no plastic cup either, but a glass of beer.

Does it come in a front side model?

Can someone decode what the hell this person is even trying to say.

Really puts the conservative war on reproductive rights in a new light, doesn't it.

Also, maybe 8 billion is "enough". Not breeding is only a problem for the economy. Capitalism needs perpetual growth, there is no end game, just more, of everything, forever.

^ This tired nonsense argument that people who have zero concept of what communism entails keep falling back on. Stop perpetuating this dumb shit, you don't have the faintest clue what you're talking about.

Or exert your 1st amendment rights and put whatever sticker you want on your car without providing any justification whatsoever.

Shit, USA has genuinely succumbed to fascism.

And I suggest they shove their suggestion up your anus.

What are they, Iranian morality guards?

It's like that quote, "you can fool some people some of the time, but you can't fool all people all of the time"- thing is, they don't have to. They fool most of the people most of the time, and that is all they need to impose their agenda. The fringe cases, like people rooting and installing alternative OS's, don't matter if 99% of the world's population go along with whatever the corps dictate. The sheer inertia of that will keep pulling the tech where they want it to go, as global industry pulls the same way.

The EU will, at some point, cave to the interest of global capital. I am proud that they have fought as well as they have these past few decades, but as long as capitalism rules the planet, capital will always supersede rule of law and democracy in the end.

America is about to, if it has not already, succumb completely to that state of affairs, and once that power is consolidated by the capital, EU will be (one of) the next targets.

Yeah there's been a lot of engagement on /r/vibebricklaying lately

Bruh...

That's a... Huh. Oþ autocorrect.

Then you go back to reddit or wherever where it's a corporate echo chamber where dissenting opinions are censored instead.

What's the solution?

Thank you for the reasonable take. Clearly it resonated with people. I think that's the way to moderate- even if it isn't a perfect fit, if enough people on the sub feels like it is, it's reasonable to let it be, in my opinion.
