Soylent Green is a lie anyway. Your need to “soylentify” half the population to feed the other half every year if it would be the only source of calories.

fatal error: Too many errors emitted, stopping now

The same thing with things like Stonehenge. I liked the theory that said these types of constructions are the result of the prehistoric version of Burning Man, where they built it just because they could as an art installation.

“The Thing” was a very clear warning

I usually say what unit of measurement we’re counting in: days, weeks or months. For more detail, more specs are needed.

it reaches 100F regularly during summer in many temperate climates,

Not when it’s near the sea, like most of western Europe. It’s the same shit as “why don’t you have airco?” Because it was never that hot.

It has only been 100°F once in the last century. Nobody has any point of reference to make this intuitive. 30°C/85°F is defined as hot around here. 40°C/100°F is defined as national emergency.

Nor is it the first battery powered train in the world or even first in Germany where this giga-train operates.

But being caught in a lie would destroy your clout instantly. If they’re competing for clout there would be a big incentive to prove the competition wrong.

Other countries just have less to deal with.

Even the shorts from your subscriptions they “optimize” using their algorithm instead of showing them chronologically. It’s such a hassle.

Poppin, Olympia, Cyber, Minima and/or Outline, depending on the mood, season and launcher. There isn’t much left on factory spec with my phone.

I’ll keep using my favorite icon pack instead, thank you very much

Users expect to buy a game, a product, not a service. There are enough examples always needing to be online games where local single player stops working when sunsetting the server or just a connection issue.

They’ll do an outlook: cut features from the desktop version until it’s exactly the same as the web version, because every interface needs to be a facsimile of the web, right?

Unions are a way to resolve long term labor disputes without large scale vandalism and homicide, because throughout history angry desperate men have always done desperate things. It’s a lesson usually learned the hard way.

It’s not stupid. It’s just the bastard child of Germany, Dutch, French, Celtic and Scandinavian and tries to pretend this mix of influences is cool and normal.

The Christianist wing of the GOP just don’t want bodily autonomy. The Handmaid’s Tale is just an extrapolation of their wishes.

Her motivation for writing the novel was her belief that in the 1980s, the religious right was discussing what they would do with/to women if they took power, including the Moral Majority, the Christian Coalition, and the Ronald Reagan administration. Atwood questions what would happen if these trends, and especially “casually held attitudes about women” were taken to their logical end.

And a whole lot of serfs that just love their master, while saying they do it for freedom.
