It's a pity that this prediction never came true. Imagine how much better social media would be if instead of reading people's posts, we put on goggles and heard their posts spoken to us by their 3D avatar.

That's a lie. It is not always empty.
Like a typical American, you just can't see people who aren't playing sportsball or buying things as recreating or living a good life. You don't see them at all.
Trust me, those of us who enjoy open spaces and views are enjoying life, and we are legion.

I go there all the time. It's frequently filled with people. Just because they aren't playing sportsball or buying something doesn't mean they aren't enjoying themselves.
If you want to play sportsball, get out of the city. There's plenty of sportsball fields in the suburbs that are usually empty.

When was this drone picture taken? Judging by the shadows, it was obviously taken close to sunset, and I would guess a cold day. The park gets plenty of use every time I visit it. Personally, I'm opposed to turning our public spaces into more sportsball venues. Open space has value in a busy city.

Maybe some of the creatures in the Mose Eisley Cantina are like them. Musk and Altman would certainly fit right in.

I don't remember R2D2 or C3PO ever giving the heroes of the films inaccurate information. Unlike LLM AIs, which gives inaccurate information 1/3 to 1/2 of the time. It's normal for people to hate on liars.

No, I don't believe this was true. We knew back then that sea level was going to rise even if we stopped burning fossil fuels immediately. The same people who opposed climate adaptation then were and are the same people who opposed reducing fossil fuel consumption then and now, the climate deniers.

I have to get the premium package if I want to text Satan? How does that make any sense? You'd think the bad spiritual advice would cost less, not more.

Good point, Corey. Are there stricter laws regulating cellphone use in Canada?
I ride the bus here a lot and can see down into people's cars. I see a lot of drivers with their phones in their hands scrolling the net with them. I have to believe that is some kind of contributing factor to accidents.

So I will throw Veterans' Day over my shoulder. Armistice Day I will keep. I don't want to throw away any sacred things.
What else is sacred? Oh, Romeo and Juliet, for instance.
And all music is.

It was during that minute in nineteen hundred and eighteen, that millions upon millions of human beings stopped butchering one another. I have talked to old men who were on battlefields during that minute. They have told me in one way or another that the sudden silence was the Voice of God.

When I was a boy, and when Dwayne Hoover was a boy, all the people of all the nations which had fought in the First World War were silent during the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of Armistice Day, which was the eleventh day of the eleventh month.

I'm sure car bloat contributes to pedestrian deaths. But I would also think that cell phones and smartphones are also contributing factors. Widespread mobile phone adoption would have been right around the bottom of this graph. I was almost hit by someone on their smartphone just the other day.

Out of all of the horrific problems we are facing right now, replacing the Senate Minority Leader shouldn't even make the top 100 list of things to do.

I guess it's time to move on from Move On. Out of all of the horrendous problems we are facing right now, Schumer being the minority leader, doesn't even make the top 100.

You are arguing that the seven out of 45 Democratic senators who voted to end the shutdown weakened the Democratic Party. You called it a betrayal. As flawed as the Democrats maybe, they are the only real resistance to the Republicans. If you change your registration, you also weaken the party.

If you leave the Democratic Party, you're just as guilty of the same kind of capitulation that you are accusing the seven Democratic senators who voted to end the shutdown are.

I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall in that jury room to find out what they diliberated about for several hours. I picture something like 12 Angry Men where a Henry Fonda like juror is alone until he convinces the rest that throwing a sandwich is not a misdemeanor criminal assault.
