I'm in favor of, any place that it MAKES SENSE for the player to kill a character then the script should be able to compensate. But if you tell the player like "This guy is essential to the survival of the universe" and then you kill him for absolutely no reason then that's on you. Game bricked.

How would you defend the curtain? There's no ditch or bridge, the gatehouse isn't deep enough to have traps, there's no flanking towers to protect the gate, nor any holes for putlogs to put up hoardings anywhere else on the wall??

We still have capitalism. Capitalism and post-scarcity society while not polar opposites are at least fundamentally incompatible: Capitalism is *defined* by rewarding disequitable distribution of limited resources. If everybody can have anything they want, there's nothing left to transact for.

SHOULD you microwave a battery? Well, you won't have a battery anymore. And the lung-dissolving caustic smoke probably isn't very fun.

I'm a little pessimistic how well people will actually like these things. Low spec hardware is fine in a handheld, nobody expects a living room quality experience from something they can toss in their backpack. But what's the point of making a new console that's weaker than a five year old PS5?

So the billionaires are offering to give away all their stuff? They currently own the most, an imaginable unnecessary over-abundance, so obviously "owning nothing" starts there.

What's the use case here. Is this for people who COLLECT shoes/bags/hats as opposed to wearing them?

This only works so long as the people thus displayed can find other relevant, productive, work to do. AI doesn't push people into new career fields: It deletes people from the economy completely.

I see, thank you for that clarification. So Ukraine might be reluctant to hit infrastructure that still strongly benefits Europe since they need European goodwill.

How about instead, we get rid of parties, and people should vote for policies instead of parties. Representatives get recalled if they vote against the policies they campaigned on.

Also it requires constant cloud connectivity so our AI can do the necessary behind-the-scenes compatibility (it's at least 97% accurate!). And if you stop paying for our Preferred Customer subscription service, this feature stops working, and your files cannot be accessed anymore.

Too many people involved in the Epstein prosecution have seen the real thing to censor enmasse. Plus the entire Republican party is a sack full of snakes, you know more than one of them had incriminating evidence squirreled away as an insurance policy against Rump targeting them.

Perhaps an established protocol where every provider must accept payment in cash, and, people paying in cash pay the REAL cost for their care not the parasite-laden insurance price.

What sort of specs and price are you looking for? It sounds like you're a hardcore mobile gamer, so it might be hard to find a device that's got a powerful graphics chip that isn't also an expensive flagship?

I can't help but notice that Obama came in street clothes and sat in the front rows to get close to the game, while Rump wore a full suit and sat in a box behind bullet-resistant glass.

How about a law that says, if congress can't agree on a new budget, the old budget just gets renewed. The entire concept of a "government shutdown" where everybody still has to work but doesn't get paid is absurd.

Which is not good news? The fact that everybody thinks building more data centers is going to have a positive effect on the economy even though humans cannot live inside a server nor eat data?

I think I identified the problem. Rump HATES modern technology. South Korea wanted to build factories for batteries, and for solar panels, and both of them have become deadlocked due to government interference.
I bet if somebody wanted to partner for coal mining though, they'd get the red carpet.
