Good. As soon as I read the title, I thought of RAM Doubler and wondered if young me was a sucker for buying it!

A measly $10 rebate?!? How about a full refund?

At first, I wrote a reply asking what tangible good a lawsuit would do. I wrote that Trump would ignore any ruling that was in Columbia’s favor.

I deleted it ten minutes later. No, a lawsuit may not do any tangible good, but I was missing the point. RESISTING is the point. Protecting academic freedom and freedom of speech is the point. Fighting fascism is the point.

Fuck Columbia. I hope they carry this shame for the rest of their existence.

Enshittification on wheels!

“I can’t get laid, so I want to make it as inconvenient as possible for everyone else. Also, my wife left me for a man who doesn’t treat her like a bangmaid, so I want to make ‘adultary’ a major offense.”

The map should include major sources of valuable fresh water, for even more chaotic fun. For example, I’d draw two long, thin countries on each bank of the Nile.

Oh no! Consequences! That might even mean a strongly worded letter in… bold type!

This Judge Boasberg character is going to “fall out a window” if he keeps it up.

Technically, it’s a republic. In a full democracy, the citizens would vote on everything directly. You know all those bills that Congress votes on? We’d handle them ourselves.

I could be wrong, but I don’t think a country has ever operated that way. It’s a logistical nightmare.

Edit: if something here is factually incorrect, an actual explanation would be helpful. Thanks.

Yes, but for her, it’s still better than the alternative.

This is exactly what I came here to post!

And how many are dying because of Elumps cuts and policies? It’s a choice between bad and worse.

I wouldn’t say I’m on the side of the disease, but I do hope it becomes a much bigger problem. Anything to take the focus and money from whatever else Trump wants to do, which would surely be worse.

Let’s go for ten weeks! Then twenty!

I was only thinking of eliminating learned bigotry, but you raise a worthwhile question.

Well, most of humanity has been sexist since time out of mind. Even if AIs are trained on nothing but objective data, they can’t help but mirror our sexist society. They must be carefully programmed to show society as it could be, instead of how it is. At the same time, they have to keep facts right - like the number of fingers on a hand, for example.

Even then, I’m sure we’ll encounter problems. AIs do not “think” in ways we understand.

She’s either an idiot or did this intentionally, and I don’t think she’s an idiot. Plus, all the edibles I’ve bought have had dosage recommendations on the packaging (although, to be fair, I’ve only bought edibles in recent years. I don’t know what the labeling was like in 2014).

Further, any half-decent dispensary will be staffed by people eager to help and give newbies some valuable advice. I suspect that Dowd didn’t even try to ask for help, and may even have posed as an experienced user.

Sure am glad I couldn’t afford one of those things back when I wanted one.

Well, at least you own it!
