Absurd that pointing guns at people to get fake support would be seen as any more legitimate than just having the soldiers do the fake voting themselves.

Yes, it’s not much different from tipping. Puts the burden of responsibility in the wrong place. If a business wants to support charities and use it in marketing, just give money to charities and tell people how much it was. And/or give people the contact details of the charities if you want to promote them.

The biggest state, bigger than many countries. How different can it be from other parts of the same country?

An armed society is a society where people are looking for someone to shoot.

AI PC sounds like something that will be artificially personal more than anything else.

It wasn’t with no regard. They were deliberately giving minorities power over majorities and splitting ethnic groups with borders to fuel conflicts.

Yeah, I didn’t pay attention to those airing dates, but I see on IMDB they start season 4 on season 3’s Roswell That Ends Well and it’s a jumble compared to the production order. So 5 seasons out of the original 4, then the movies, then 2 seasons per season.

4 original seasons, plus movies, plus 3 more seasons. Not sure how it ended up as 11, seems the 6th and 7th seasons are divided up into 2 parts each, maybe the movies are counted as 2 as well?

Each movie is the length of about 4 episodes.

While it’s sad to see all these games begin to die a slow death, in reality, many of these titles are incredibly old and on last-gen platforms such as Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3.

Yet much older games are still playable without functionality loss.

You don’t need upgrades to online services. You need to stop locking down games.

Still seems way overpriced. Doesn’t even have name recognition anymore.

If we’re not already on track to end fossil fuel consumption within the time it takes to build a nuclear reactor, then the nuclear reactor will help get there faster. And the current goals are 2050 or much later in some countries, we can and should move that closer in time by 10 years, and would still be able to use nuclear power to help with that.

And we’ll still need power after getting rid of fossil fuels, too.

Not easily. There are bottlenecks when everyone wants to do the same thing, and distributed solar and wind require more infrastructure to fully utilize it than something like nuclear. If we built nuclear in addition to renewables, the transition would go faster.

Reroll at what point? “Hey, kids, today you’ll learn about resurrection, and what that booth is for”. There could be billions of people with no clue about the rules, let alone trust in how it would work.

And it’s just that much messier if non-humans are part of the cycle. Hundreds of billions of farm animals and semi-domestic species like rats, and all the rest of nature. They don’t get opt-outs.

Ideally it would mean everyone’s united in improving society for everyone and especially raising minimum standards, when you could end up as anyone.

The alternative is stop traveling such huge distances all the time.

Other than public transportation and filling up the cars with people, instead of having one vehicle per person.

I’d assume the stats could change in both directions, depending on how long the war lasts, how thoroughly Russia is defeated, and the aftermath. Ukraine joining NATO, Western investments, Russian foreign assets transferred as reparations, Ukraine joining the EU although that’s a complicated and potentially very slow process.

They have a huge EEZ, they should have plenty of potential for wind power. And have as much sun as most European countries.

Although they really should stick with nuclear, just learn from their mistakes.

People like the Buffalo Bills owner are not on the side of the union.
