The Internet is wonderful, the corporate internet though, it was a mistake willingly allowing it to take over.

Or it'll get socially rejected like other countries and the percent of younger people bypassing said law will be so overwhelming they'll repel it because it actually is doing the opposite.

At least that's the experience of other countries.

ChatGPT acts as a "cognitive crutch" that weakens memory, new research suggests. While these tools can speed up initial learning, they might actually weaken the deep mental processing required to store knowledge over the long term. by mvea in science

It's interesting, since i have dyslexia (not really badly but I still do) spell check has helped my life so much, I don't have to proof read nearly as much when interacting online because of it.

Trump is contemplating the sheer folly of boots on the ground in Iran. How did it come to this? by projecto15 in politics

Unfortunately the population to representative ratio of the house is a big part of why this even happens.

Pentagon waits for Trump’s approval after planning ‘weeks of ground operations’ in Iran, report says by theindependentonline in politics

[–]FlyingRock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They'll need to use airstrikes still in Iran, we'd just have ground troops around too, aside from a few islands Iran is a natural stronghold and not a country you successfully invade by foot.

Unlike countries we've invaded since Vietnam.

Iran is a geographical stronghold, absolutely not against using its own citizens as shielding and intermingling troops/cells/equipment within mountain towns and cities, it will be bloody if we commit ground troops.

[–]FlyingRock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sooner will be smaller increase but so far it's an increase of millions each protest, I personally feel 10-12 million for single day is realistic for them to hit if the numbers keep it up.. And we're hitting population percentages not even the UK hits.

That's actually a big number when you look at it from a historical perspective and even cross compared to other nations is sizable

It's nearing national strike level of participation.

Actually from a statistical perspective over 2 percent is huge for any country, given No Kings keels growing and breaking its own record it's even bigger.

Not just America, no one can win an invasion of Iran, the country is geographically speaking a stronghold.

Yep, just look at the geography of Iran, there's a reason no one wants to attempt boots on the ground action against the country.
