They had a visionary female CEO.
There are going to be AI Art detecting AIs. There probably already are. If they can use a tool to detect that it is not a real photo, then that is part of due diligence.
Prosecution "Your honor, this is evil filth thrown them in prison forever!"
Defense: "You honor, may I point out that the image has seven fingers on her right hand, as well as an unlikely level of visual symmetry. It is clearly generated by a machine."
... emissions-free hydrogen ...
In what reality is hydrogen "emissions free"?
Hydrogen is made from crude oil in a stupendously inefficient process. Unless they are making it on-site, the transport of hydrogen is incredibly complicated and wasteful.
Even hydrogen made by electrolysis, from electricity (made by burning coal or gas in Germany) is very inefficient!
Fuck I hate greenwashing.
Wow. Revel in that ignorance. Semantic arguments are a winner, right? Because if you can argue about definitions then you can't possibly lose!
Fascism is literally the merger of state and corporations. A partnership between corporations and the interests of the Government. It is literally the political model that is in use in China today. There is a member of the CCP on every single company board AND the state can, and does nationalize any company at will. The difference between a corporation and the CCP government (in china) is literally one of semantics.
As another example: In the 2000s the Chinese Department of Defense also raised revenue through owning a CD pressing factory to press and distribute pirate CDs and DVDs to the west. At the point where the Defense Department is self funding the difference between a Government Agency or Service and a corporation is ... what exactly?
Governments are governments because they have the monopoly on force and taxation. The government uses that force to ensure that revenue is raised to fund the state. That line can (and does) get very, very blurry. For example it is common for Oil Companies employ mercenaries to enforce their interests. That is just a single example of corporate governance.
So if you are looking to an alternative to government, then you might a private corporation that acts in the role of a government to do the things that governments do. You know, like "muh roads". As I have stated in my initial post; It isn't a good alternative.
Which puts us right back to: "Government reform please."
The thing that is so irritating about this conversation is that you actually agree with my position. You are just too fucking stubborn to make any concessions to facts or logic, in spite of your ignorance of the history of governance. Fascism was kind of a big deal, and remains the only (moderately) successful form of socialism.
So you win! Congratulations. You are the last man standing and get all the internet points! Have a great day.
In teens, especially boys, Zoloft can dramatically increases the chance of suicide. Unsecured firearms could make it much more likely that the suicide attempt was successful.
It sounds to me like the investigator was conducting a thorough, unbiased investigation. Concluding that there is no evidence of neglect or abuse is a major vindication for the Sack family. This investigation can be used as exculpatory evidence in the future. Ask me how I know.
It irritates me beyond measure that this investigation was prompted by a fuck-head at the clinic who is using the process as punishment, while hoping that CPS investigator will carry water for their agenda.
It is a real Feminist position that all heterosexual sex is rape. Lots of feminists will try to run cover and obfuscate the theory, but it is very much part of the doctrine.
Catharine A. MacKinnon wrote on the subject extensively.
Two quotes from her in 1991:
“Women are socially disadvantaged in controlling sexual access to their bodies through socialization to customs that define a woman's body as for sexual use by men. Sexual access is regularly forced or pressured or routinized beyond denial.”
Objectivity is the methodological stance of which objectification is the social process. Sexual objectification is the primary process of the subjection of women. It unites act with word, construction with expression, perception with enforcement, myth with reality. Man fucks woman; subject verb object.
Later she tried to walk it back and deny the specifics (wording) and implications of her statements, but she really meant it: Women can not consent to sex within a patriarchal society; Sex without consent is rape.
Note that Catharine A. MacKinnon is a card carrying Marxist and a major contributor to the field of feminist studies. She was at the height of her popularity in the 90s.
So we can't have No Government. You agree with me!
One of the alternatives to Government is privatization, which would be corporations. That is very popular in China. You don't agree?
Do you realize you basically restated my reply?
This is an End Run around the 5 Eyes agreements and arrangements.
The UK Government is prohibited from spying on UK Citizens. So it lets one of the other 5 Eyes spy on UK Citizens and share the data back to the UK Government.
This now removes the need for the arrangement.
You think NO government will fix it? Then move to Somalia!
Government is an evil necessity. Without government we can't have a state.
You want an honest, transparent government that is (relatively) efficent and gives good value. It happens that smaller governments are easier to oversee.
If there is anything that the last decade has shown us, it is that corporate governance isn't any better, and it is a whole lot less accountable. Do you think it is a better idea to replacing publicly elected and publicly funded government with giant private corporations? I don't.
And again we are back to "fix the government" or "Move to Somalia"
Serious question. What is the life expectancy of a gang-banger?
Okay, you got me.
According to Sigourny and her journal, she got it on the third take.
But she had been practicing for weeks wit a basketball pro player as a coach.
The coolest thing in Aliens Resurrection is Sigourney making that basket on the first take.
Get yourself a passport, bro.
History is clear, for almost the entirety of history, the top males have access to multiple women and the rest don't get the chance to reproduce.
One of the innovations of Christianity and the precursor Judaism was that of enforced monogamy. The top achievers get the top women but the commitment is for life. No takebacks. The rest of men get a chance at reproduction if they participate in society and follow the rules.
This was a fantastic benefit for everyone in far reaching and complex ways.
For contrast look at the middle east where multiple wives are permitted, or the fatherlessness of some sections of the USA.
Women have always hated having to be faithful. They have been working together to tear down marriage and monogamy for more than a hundred years, only to find out that the alternative is worse.
I'm a VERY sarcastic person,

If you are serious, then it is to ensure that the convicted can not benefit from sentence discounting.
For example, if you have two convictions which hold a possible sentence of two years each that is four years.
If you serve both sentences concurrently, that is two years.
If you get time off for good behaviour and reform (you learn to be a cook and run a kitchen) then you could be out in one year on parole to serve your last year through the parole program.
Don't kink shame me!
Unless the safe is something very special, just about any safe can be opened with a big grinder with a cutting disc. It just takes time.
The issue with safes and locks in general is the failure state.
Electronic locks can fail open or fail closed. Mechanical locks can only fail closed.
Double the locks on your safe is double the vulnerabilities to attack.
Master key systems are expensive to implement and add a huge vulnerability to locks. Lose a master key and a whole product line is potentially compromised.
If I am going to buy a safe, I want it to come with the promise that I am the only one who can open it. If I lose my key, it is going to require a specialist or a grinder.
You know the porn that does it for me these days?

I'll give you an example of one of my favourites.
Opening shot.
A, buff, blue collar guy gets home from a hard day of working, providing for his family. He stopped to get some cheap flowers on the way back from his job.
He gives the flowers to his pretty wife in the kitchen. She is thrilled to receive them, even though it is not an expensive or extravagant gift.
She hugs him and they kiss. She says that dinner will be read asoon, and she gers a beer from the fridge and puts it into his favourite beer coozie and hands it to him,.
He beams with pleasure at the small gesture of affection. He says he is going to take a quick shower and enjoy his shower beer. They kiss again and he heads upstairs.
Video end.
I know it is kinky as hell, but I just can't help myself.
I know several neo-marxists. None of them are honest about wanting to usher in an authoritarian regime of murder and reeducation camps.
You know who else noticed things? Hitler. You don't want to be like Hitler, do you?
Don't be like Hitler. Stop noticing things.
According to DoomCock, the top of Disney is salivating on the idea of firing the woke, untrained hacks and replacing them with woke "AI" scriptwriters.
Which is entirely plausible.
They get an infinite amount of worthless scripts for cheap; Except they haven't worked out that infinity times zero is still zero.
Perhaps they will make "AI" watch this garbage too?
Judge them? Like Ruth Bader Ginsberg?
Wasn't she literally handing down judgements while in a coma
Socialism is actually a very effective method of government. It has lots of advantages and can really deliver on those benefits.
It just has an upper boundary of population of about 300 people. After that planned economies become pretty shit, and the ability to allocate resources efficiently starts diminishing sharply.
I point out that this is an almost direct parallel to autocracy or despotism.
So I guess Marxists strive to reduce the population to an efficient, manageable level?
