People understand this, they are just saying that there was a choice between having a vote for the same, or voting for trump. And between those two chosing not for the same means voting for trump, even by not voting.

If they end up worse afterwards, don't complain. That one day of much needed work hopefully pays for the years that come afterwards.

Same!! :). My kids grew up without commercials or news. We've never missed any of them. On the contrary. When they are over at friends, if the tv is on, they get annoyed with all the interruptions and just don't want to watch any.

Does not work correctly

If you ask chatgtp to write something it puts it in quotes. They probably didn't even want to spend enough time to select within the quotes when they did the copy paste.

question, i have a older computer that i want to switch to linux. It has a 1080. Do i just install linux and it will work, or do i have to go look for drivers, or do i have to use the onboard graphics till i get everything installed? How do i have to imagine it?

Oh sure, well, for books, there's Brave New World, which you already mentioned. You might also like The Windup Girl, where they have “New People” created for specific roles, and The Island, which deals with cloning mainly for organ harvesting. The Handmaid's Tale explores similar themes of control over reproduction, though in a different way, and The Children of Men is another classic that dives into issues of societal control and the value placed on human life. Genesis and The Clone touch on related ideas too.

For movies, you've got The Matrix as an obvious choice, then Gattaca for genetic engineering themes, and Aeon Flux, which also involves heavily regulated human bodies. You might also like Logan's Run, which depicts a society where life is strictly limited and controlled; and Moon, which explores the unsettling use of clones in isolation.

To weather they are worth reading / watching, that is kinda up to the individual i think. I found them enjoyable.

Oh I agree to all that, still. Maybe I've seen and read too many dystopian movies and books.

I wish I was kidding, but what are the chances that China will become the first country to mass produce their new population via in vitro?

I understand the use of 'allegedly' when it is about a crime that is still under investigation. But a punch? How is that 'allegedly'? Was it in a dark alley away from prying eyes? If you see a guys fist and a victim's face, what more do you need?
