A continuous boredom is actually more like a feeling of emptynes and a lack of energy to engage. You cannot help someone fill the emotional emptiness they are feeling, you don't even know the cause. And it leads only to codependency.

Even if it's a cry for help you can show them your perspective but it's their job to heal and get out of the "pit" they are into.

It this Onion News? No one can use "american automakers" and "fuel-efficency" in the same phrase!

Ok, if nobody is going to say it I'll do it: public transportation + walkable cities!

There I said it! I'm now waiting for the sky to fall on me ...

You don't. Unless your job is to entertain this person otherwise it's his/hers problem. If by any chance this this person is putting the responsibility of his/hers emotional state on your shoulders and asking you to do something, it's not ok and is an attempt of manipulation.

They 100% do! But the marketing departments always likes to have "solid" arguments at hand.

How else can they organise fairs and conferences where they can lament about how poor the automakers are and how pressure from are pulling prices down so automakers cannot compete.... how they have to fire people and move production in poorer countries where people can be treated more like slaves... how profits are so low that they have to use the same jets with the same bitches twice!

Hyoerloop is not a scam just because The con man proposed it with the intent of stopping a high speed rail road project.

It's a scam also because:

  • the idea is not his. It's 100 years old and has been tackled by other before him.
  • it's impossible to be build from the technical point of view.
  • even if you do manage to miraculously built it it won't be economically feasible.
  • in the lasts years it's starting to be obvious that if it's backed by Musk it's a scam in some degree, shape or form. (see also Solar Cities, Tesla, The Loop and the Boring company, etc.)

You're absolutely right.

For sure the probability of a dandy actor to be match for a psicho, who is preparing since who knows when, for the kill is really high. /s

You know people tend to specialise in a field of activity for a reason. I will go with the punny but we'll trained and conditioned bodyguards over the "imposing tank" who is said to be tough right about... any time!

This is actually very good news for car manufacturers.

Touch crap was cheaper but sold a new tech so => price increase

Buttons are old tech so no new investments or tech development but they are more complicated => price increase

Yeah, because size, looks and macho roles you've played suddenly count as fighting skills....

Well in the 90s in Eater Europe we first had cable TV without subs or dub, just the original track (English, German, Italian, Spanish) so we had to learn the language just watching the shows trying to understand. Then subs started to be common and almost no dub. Then in late 2000s dubing started to be the norm for animations but movies are still subed and nobody likes dubed movies.

I think in the context of the Black Sea fleet it's considered major. They cannot replace them so every ship counts especially missile carrying ones.
