You know, I don't disagree with your ultimate point. But if you look through this comment chain you should recognize that the way you chose to make it is:

  1. Needlessly antagonistic, and (therefore)
  2. Not very effective

If you wanted to convince anyone or provoke interesting discussion I think you failed.

In the future, you should just make your argument/statement instead of asking "clever" bad faith questions.

Reread A Fire Upon the Deep just a week or two ago.

Amazing SF writer.

He may have PTSD and he may have had 1,000 hours of firearms training, but if you empty your magazine the way he did, under the circumstances he did, you're incompetent to be a police officer. Period.

And even he apparently recognizes that since he resigned (though whether he'll just go get hired the next town over is probably a decent bet).

It's a race to the bottom.

Yes, you can decline to opt in, but the guy next to you (or the guy next to him) will opt in and sell his AI voice package for less than it costs to employ a real person. And unlike a real person, the AI voice package can work 24/7 on 10,000 productions at the same time.

If anyone can opt in, then no one can really opt out.

Is this a good thing? For the bottom line of the people making the games, sure. And maybe 3% of that savings will trickle down to the consumer.

But it's pretty bad for the voice actors.

Now if we can just get all the fatties in America to read your post we'll have this thing licked!

You'd want some way to quickly access them as well, ideally without having to unscrew the handle, so it could be a (fun?) challenge figuring out how to implement it.

I don't 3d print but I wanted to give you props for a super high effort post. This is really cool. If I did have a 3d printer I'd give this a try.

Have you thought about a version with blade storage? It's always handy to have a place to stash an extra blade or two to quickly swap out a dull one.

Most conspiracy theories are bullshit, no doubt. But not all of them are, and it's pretty hard to judge which might be true by the claims alone, because by nature they are pretty fantastical.

In 1974 before the Church Committee revealed it, you'd have dismissed anyone telling you about MKUltra and I wouldn't blame you.

But it really did happen.

Did Epstein kill himself? Probably? But the circumstances are definitely eyebrow raising...

Most (maybe all) age discrimination statutes only protect people over 40 so may not apply here depending on the specifics.

If you have heavy leaf fall it'll smother the grass and kill the lawn.

The latest fad.

It's all good my bro. I understand where you're coming from.
