I have an ongoing bet with a buddy. I win when the Space Force establishes a base off-planet. He wins if the US forms a Time Force branch. Neither of us expect to win in our lifetime.

The speech recognition software used by digital assistants that come with most modern smartphones would make it trivial to process the audio locally and map the output to your ad profile. Much lighter lift than sending audio recordings.

I've been told that Iran is supposed to look like a cat but I just don't see it.

People keep saying you just need to get your "VR legs" and the nausea will go away. Alyx wasn't too bad compared to other VR games where the nausea hits me within 15 min of play.

I thought porn was illegal in China. Unless they allow censored forms where it's just the dialog and foreplay that ends when the clothes start coming off.

Fuck it, let's just ban any and every app that involves or simulates currency and uses chance as a mechanic that interacts with that currency.

Tokens that can be redeemed for a chance of a cosmetic reward? Gambling.

Credits used to pay for upkeep of an LLM that may or may not generate an expected output? Also gambling.

Subscription for a service that promises XYZ and delivers less than 100% during its service period? Believe it or not, gambling.

High speed rail to connect major cities and suburbs? Impossible! High occupancy armored personal carrier lanes? Give us 6-60 months.
