Yeah... as amazing as full dive VR would be, I'd be afraid that weaponized would be a better term for how it would be implemented than enshitified.

Umart sounds like Best Buy in the US. Fuck Best Buy.

That's assuming they didn't have AI write it. No brain engagement either way I suppose.

I haven't watched this yet, but I'm familiar with his channel. He typically pulls in info from a few different sources (often studies, which he does cite) and talks about them. Pretty worthwhile.

I'm not saying wind turbines kill a lot if birds, but that 20 RPM can translate to blade tip speeds well over 100MPH because of how long they are.

For the parents. I feel bad for the kids.

I agree they got out maneuvered, but I think that was more the result of ignoring certain serious issues rather than not moving fast enough on things they did. It wouldnt have mattered how quickly they implemented new programs then, they would be canceled now. I think it was a strategic/ideologic issue, not one of pace.

I'm glad for anyone in a position of power to not be thinking quarter to quarter. It leads to decisions that are obviously stupid when looked at as even a 2 year time frame, let alone 5 or 10.

Yes, faster progress would also be nice, but we need more forward thinking basically everywhere, far too many things get decided on a "what is most helpful/profitable/looks-good-on-the-books this quarter" basis.

By the time there are noticeable symptoms there isn't a cure. The Milwaukee Protocol is now largely viewed as ineffective, but there is not a widely proposed alternative.

However, considering the protocol involves an induced coma, I'd say it's preferable to going through end stage rabies even if it doesn't save you. In fact, that may be part of why it took so long for it to be deemed ineffective, it is more merciful than palliative care alone.

I think many people assume it's Dr. Who, and if The Doctor is looking at you like that, ya done fucked up.

But very different context in Jessica Jones.

There is definitely an element of Tribalism. But in my experience you have to maneuver to avoid cars coming into your space more often on a bike or motorcycle than you do in a car. Not that it is constant, but it's a one or two times a week vs a couple times a month in a car. You're just less visible since you're so much smaller. Not that loud exhaust is a good fix, haha.

Legally it is Florida, so I won't try to convince you otherwise. Culturally though, the Florida Keys are pretty distinct from the mainland. Nice place, except for all the usual high tourism island pitfalls, but they are alleviated considerably since there is a bridge.
