Well have we tried becoming North Korea? That would definitely avoid North Korea from launching jukes at us. /s

It’s closer to how you (as a person) know things than, say, how a database know things.

I still remember my childhood home phone number. You could ask me to forget it a million times I wouldn’t be able to. It’s useless information today. I just can’t stop remembering it.

I don’t think that one will be missed much. Unless you’re an addict to WarHammer, AFAICT it’s a poorly ported mobile game that’s filled with DLC and monetization.

Lifetime guarantees are absolutely still a thing. But it’s normally for higher priced items since the quality of the average ware went down.

I agree with you that customers should become more responsible for the decisions they make. But we’ve proven time and time again (for decades if not longer) that customers are not rational actors that know everything about everything. Ads would never work if that was a thing.

But here we are. There are laws against false advertising and words have exact meanings. The fact that “unlimited” is still not false advertising baffles me. It should be.

I guess you’re okay with predatory wordings in product descriptions that target people who don’t understand that things cannot be without limits? Just because they should know better, ignoring the fact you don’t know everything? Where do you draw the line? Would you blindly trust a single drug description saying it cures cancer, though no such thing can ever exist?

In the marketing department apparently.

Companies should stop saying unlimited if we all agree nothing is unlimited, don’t you think?

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

This is a bit more obscure than that, but mostly yes.

The real problem is that the army doesn’t want more tanks. They’ve asked congress to stop building armored vehicles. Don’t need money for tanks, want money for R&D.

Congress love building tanks because it falsely creates jobs in their districts. So more tanks. Most of these factories are located in red districts.

Too many tanks and they have to sell them. That’s how police can buy tanks.

Sell all your AR15? Most AR15 owners are in red states. There are direct correlation with voting republicans and owning firearms. So if you decide to sell you AR15 it might indicate you’d switch vote? It’s a stretch but less republicans, more jobs from other types of factories (e.g. Green energy related), less money to build tanks, less armored vehicles being auctioned off to police.

It’s a “the system is broken but we have to play with the rules” thing. We can protest/protest/canvas for new voting rules to get third parties more chance to be in congress, but I can’t see the presidency ever changing in a regular setting.
