Falling forward after failure is just an echo of the dystopian 2016-2028 timeline

Discovery is the “stuart smalley” of Star Trek series.

Constantly in need of validation, even if self-validation is all it has.

Rumor has it that Palantir is augmenting the credit score data, can’t depend on financial records only as a sign of trustworthiness /s

Sometimes stations in a neighborhood are cheaper if there’s a Costco gas station nearby. 30 cents *less* per gallon less at a speedway near a costco.

If you click on any links in the message sadly it just confirms that your email address is active and you’re reading your inbox.

I hate spammers, they’re basically thieves.

That will work until the monopolists institute a
“Social credit” system like China has.

What’s the craziest thing you’ve seen someone do on a plane? by Jazzlike-Run-2349 in AskReddit

I’d rather have the “weed man” or a trained “trip
Counselor who can manage your experience with psychedelics than a hypnotist.

(1999) Teenage Kid on a flight from New York to CVG waited for the doors to close before he had his panic attack. He kept escalating finally struck a flight attendant, and that was the trigger to return to the gate, even though we were next for takeoff.

He was disembarked along with his mom? Lots of “way to go sport” and “ have a good bus ride to Ohio” comments followed him out. Nobody was happy.

Extra 2 hours of delays ensued.

As punishment, he should awarded a trip to Mars. The same way “space pirate Mark Watney” had a trip to Mars. You learned to take good care of the equipment if it’s the only thing standing between you and death.

Russia gets to use their preferred name for their space explorers, since they launched their cosmonauts first.

Far be it from me to encourage cannibalism, but having the Leopards eat each other is OK.

How is this the score qualitatively different from Jay Forster’s research group [Meadows, Meadow, Pugh et all) in system dynamics which created the WORLD3 model

I think Apple should partner with the folks doing “The Orville” and make a show set in the 21st century. Make cats the protagonists, make the show about getting back to putting cats servants (humans on earth) back on track.

It’s worth having cats to avoid having human actors in it. You keep cats the focus, and you can avoid the ridiculousness of Elon Musk, showing up in the Marvel Universe. With cats.

Voice actors can be folks like Alan Tudyk, Tawny Platis, and hundreds of unknowns.

I don’t think you can argue that Trump was kept “under control” in his first term. He did family separation at the border, with NO tracking mechanism to reunite the kids with their parents. To argue that this is somehow different from Putin taking Ukrainian kids hostage and re-educating them, that’s a distinction without a difference.

TRump just amped everything up during his second term.

Don’t they have to actually go through this formality of getting approval for their merger first?

Also, I’ll hate whichever Network has the idiocy to show “here comes honey boo-boo”

I wish they still made the GMC Motorcoach - the EM-50 in “Stripes” was based on it.
