Assuming that creatives can be replaced by AI (meaning there isn't some soft cap on how good it can get for technical reasons) then creatives will be replaced with AI. The only difference striking makes is whether it happens in 5-10 years or 10-20.

She's a fantastic writer.

Who is going to tell him that his son has a way around it?

I have butchered squirrels, deer, turkey, snakes, catfish, goats, pigs, and rabbits. Went vegetarian two years ago for ethical reasons though, so I guess I don't get to raise my hand lol

I was homeschooled from kindergarten through highschool. While I don't dispute much of what you said here (I was mis- and under- informed, I was anti-social, and I was xenophobic), I think the situation is more nuanced than you make it out to be.

First, I don't think it's the role of the school to make sure that students are not xenophobic or anti-social.

Second, it took me one remedial class in college (trigonometry) to get caught up.

By the time I reached the university level, I was extremely good at learning things on my own, and the raw information was available online. The ability to learn on my own without anyone holding my hand has proven to be very useful, and it's a skill that is lacking in a lot of public school graduates.

Do not apologize for summarizing lots of information into a shorter form for those of us with only a little context. It's a valuable service. Thanks.

Aunty Entity, hands down.

I don't vote locally, because I live in a deep red state in which my vote doesn't matter. Because of the electoral college and first past the post voting, it also doesn't matter during presidential elections, but I vote in them anyway, because my dad always said you weren't allowed to complain about the president if you don't vote, and I like complaining.

More like Trans Max

Imagine, John Lennon?

You pasted the last paragraph twice.

The same thing that's on the first side, but in reverse.

I agree. While we're at it, we can also make election day a holiday and require employers to give workers at least a paid half-day off so that they can vote, and create a citizenship ID that is free and easy to get rather than using ID with requirements like a driver's license. Then maybe we can try out ranked choice voting and eliminate the electoral college. You know, since we want the election to be fair.

I'm probably going to get some hate for this one, but Spider-Man: Across The Spiderverse. The story wasn't as tight as the first movie, they introduced too many new characters to keep up with, and it ended with a setup for the next movie.

On The Nature Of Mass Movementa, by (I think) Eric Hoffer. One of the things he claims is that mass movements are generally made up of the dispossessed and dissatisfied who want better conditions but are not quite suffering enough that their entire focus is on acquiring food. People have to feel as if they could improve their circumstances by revolting, but not be actively starving.

I sent you a DM. I'd like to set up a meeting if you're willing.

I heard a story about a guy doing something similar, but it was his internet connection speed and instead of submitting a noise complaint it tweeted at his service provider.

Ah, true. My last job could have done that. Use a home printer.

Type up fake email discussing it, leave it in the break room. Deniability.
