Right? The projection is crazy.

The power to be comfortable in any environment in just shorts and a T-shirt. No sunburn, no soggy shoes in the rain, warm while sitting in a snow drift.

Drop used to be so much better before the rename.

Yeah this isn't true. While automation has made machines more effective than humans in many cases, they haven't made human labor less effective. Not sure why you would think that. Advances in tools and software have made every sector of the workforce more productive. There's a million little things.

They have flattops at fast food places that cook the top and the bottom of the burger patty at the same time. So one worker can do more. Roofers have faster and lighter nail guns letting them work for longer. Hell, when I did lawn care as a teen you'd see another crew with some fancy new mower every month, and the improvements were usually worth the costs.

Yeah, they really did have a good run worthy of being proud of. I think a lot of people subconsciously think the businesses they see every day will be around forever, forgetting that nothing lasts forever. Least of all an entity whose driving goal is just to make money by any means possible for an aimless mob of shareholders headed by sociopathic elites. Any means possible isn't how you build the foundation of something that lasts decades or longer like this business.

What's really funny to me is how the same people who scream about survival of the fittest in capitalism are the first to approve of corporate bailouts. I'm starting to call it corporate socialism to see if it makes them hate bailouts due to the dreaded "s" word.

Pretty much all data has margins of error, including "real life data". The margin of error just often doesn't matter.

Wouldn't the fillers be obvious just by looking at it? It's not like magazines are bigger than they need to be.

I question the humanity of anyone who can read that and not be upset.

That knowledge shouldn't be gained through the barbaric butchery of helpless animals.The research should at the very least be conducted in a manner that is respectful to the animals.

There is no reason for them to live lives of terror only to die brutally. Considering how much this technology could advance humanity giving them more comfortable and smiling lives during this whole process costs effectively nothing.

They're like getting a gaming console for Christmas and all that's in the box is some bricks and a smelly slime you can't identify.

Edit: Comparing them initially to the wonderful excitement of a good Christmas as a kid is wayyy too positive of a thing, but I don't feel like deleting this. IDK words are hard.

By not being crude we can add to the list of good qualities that separate us from them. We have to remember that what's truly important is building a better world. If we resort to lesser tactics we cheapen ourselves and our goal.
