And don’t forget that a big part of the shuttle sucking was caused by the military who forced nasa to make major design changes so that the shuttle could fulfill military tasks. Tasks which the shuttle never even wound up being used for because the military simply created their own separate rockets to do those tasks.

It’s more than that. The thought of us doing something incredible like establishing a permanent moon base feels more depressing than inspiring these days because enshitification will be baked into it right from the planning stages

Been better been worse

Eh you know

I’ve been I’ve been

That’s what he said when he got arrested for drunk driving. Not concern over the fact that he was seriously endangering innocent people’s lives, just concern that the arrest was gonna be a problem for his tour

This is gonna ruin the tour

US Robotics 55,000 baud modem. Is that wrong enough?

Nonsense, your definitions of these trait label categories is entirely black and white, when in reality close to no one fits 100% into a category completely

OP’s concept seemed to be about buoyancy. In the same way that a hot air balloon weighs more when it releases hot gas, so too should a human weigh more when they release hot gas. So the question comes down to, is the decrease of buoyancy force more or less than the weight of the ejected gas molecules?

I don’t think so, i think OP os totally wrong, the word “emails” is valid in all cases of multiple emails.

I see a woman sitting next to an empty bench. What an i missing? ^s

I brew my own

Emails is correct usage in many instances

Lots of places don’t have taxis that you can call to your house. And in the areas that do, often times the taxis are unreliable. And yeah they can get quite expensive.

Taxi driver isn’t one of those jobs that we should protect from automation. There’s no creative theft in a self driving car.

That’s not euthanasia.

Quote:

Euthanasia … is the practice of intentionally ending life to eliminate pain and suffering.

It was just an example showing it depends on which type of life you wind up in

That’s totally besides the point. The reason humans get to say when a pet should be euthanized is just because animals aren’t capable of deciding it and communicating it.

Nah, you can just keep respawning as many times as you like until you wind up living a great one

No way, I’m going first

Doubtful. If you’re living a life that seems far below average then there would be no reason not to hit the shuffle button. Heck, since the concept of reincarnation doesn’t inherently include a limit on number of respawns then there would be no reason to stick with even a mildly above average life, because you might as well just keep hitting respawn until you wind up in a far above average life.

I don’t see what carrying over memories has to do with it. The idea here is that if you’re living a painful or unhappy life then you could just switch over to living a different life that’s more pleasant.
