Yeah! We gotta give people the choice to work or die due to lack of medical care! That's never been done before! What's that called?

I think their point was that in a way, patents are supposed to be more equitable because it allows the inventor to meet their basic needs by being the one to invent the patent.

There's also the argument that while innovation skyrockets after a parent opens up, there would be less incentive to invent new things if Walmart could just copy it for cheaper the day after you show how you make it.

Or people would be super secretive with instructions for how to make their products that innovations could die with their creators since they have no incentive to release it.

Nah, you'd probably want to do some research into who is the one actually funding people like trump and who in the U.S. government is fomenting these forever wars that are funding the war lobby.

Trump and Elon are the mouthpieces and distractions for where the real money is coming from.

Saw a funny continuation where the dogs first wish is for them to swap bodies and his second wish is that the person couldn't talk.

Yeah, man, let's get back to talking about it. Like we were doing. Just sittin around, talking about it, while more and more of this list happened. And then we just kept on talkin. That's what we need to get back to, suddenly, no one's talking about it. That's the problem.

Yeah smash destroys the hands of 30 years olds in the scene.

What I'm looking forward to in retirement is finally cracking into games like Dwarf Fortress, Factorio, and Caves of Qud

Kind of a bad argument. "Look up sewage cleaner in India" implies that there are sewage cleaners elsewhere with better jobs. Making the problem with being a sewage cleaner in India a bad condition.

Ironically I agree with you. Some jobs are way better than others, making some jobs bad and some good. A garbage man will always be a worse job than an ice cream taste tester barring absurd caveats. it's just funny to me that your argument explicitly implies a problem with job conditions.

Yeah a decade ago is not where this problem started. Nothing points to these Chromebooks. Smart phones are a good choice but also just the homogenization of the internet from like 2005-2012 as kids stopped having to figure out how to navigate the internet and install programs, instead staying on two to three websites and everything being installed as an app.

By my limited understanding that might be feasible right now in utero, which obviously is not exactly what we want.

I think that maybe in the future we could change someone's sex when they're older. Honestly I think it's maybe just the matter of research on this not being focused on genetic changes after the womb.

Were there any superman comics that were just about the Clark Kent personality and him using super hearing or this example to find a story and then having to find the right leads and ask the right questions to find the story that he already knows is true? Cause I would read the hell out of that.

 

Do you just pronounce it like "Travises" like we do colloquially? Or is there some way to do it.
