Rediscovering of old ideas. Sleeping on the balcony is what some people did in hot urban areas for ages

Exactly. Since it died in the Senate just a few years ago, why would it pass now? It’s essentially the same bill and essentially the same government.

Exactly, the significant majority of people hate the sun going down extra early in winter. The winter is so depressing with so much darkness, we especially need to maximize how much sunlight see in winter

But the bill is just gonna die in the Senate, so don’t hold your breath

Clickbait title. “Meltdown”, “fuming”, this is nonsense tabloid sensationalism

What a fool. Even if you had a clearly written contract saying that in exchange for X dollars you would receive a pardon in return, it would make no difference, because a contact for illegal activities is completely non-binding and unenforceable.

It’s like if you signed a contract to pay 5000 dollars for a kilogram of cocaine, but then they took your money and didn’t give you any cocaine. If you go to a court with that they both won’t force the other party to give you your cocaine or your money back, but additionally they’ll charge you with an attempted drug purchase

I know a semi-famous rapper who had a ton of cred on the scene, and parappa 1 gave him awful scores. I don’t know how the game’s scoring system works, but it has nothing to do with how good your rap rhythm is.

Agreed, and that’s the thing. It’s inherently an all or nothing technology, no rules or regulations could ever be trusted to allow the good uses but prevent the bad uses. So the only right option is to prevent the technology from being used at all

No, recording glasses absolutely are awful to have in society, but there are potential good uses of the technology. None that outweigh the downsides, but good uses for it could exist.

For example when you see someone you met before it could pop up a bubble telling you their name, their relationship to you, when you saw them last, previous topics that you’ve discussed with them, etc. Or when you’re following walking directions it could display a green line on the route you’re supposed to follow. Or for people with disabilities it could do things like block out visual elements that could trigger a seizure. Etc.

But as i said earlier, all the potential upsides combined don’t come close to outweighing all the very awful very real downsides. Just clarifying.

This is meta not google, but same difference

Why the hell would they use hp cartridges?!

Edit

Oh it’s refillable, that’s fine then

Great point. From a quick websearch it looks like every state is allowed to exempt itself. The few states that opted out did so right near the creation of the daylight saving time law.

I think maybe it comes down to inertia and staying in the herd. No state wants to be the first one to stick their neck out and make a change from the rest of the country all still doing the status quo.

Thanks

Can someone please explain this series to me? I’ve been seeing this strip show up a lot and i never understand what the joke is

Sounds like a job

Thanks but that’s for desktop, I’m on mobile

I’m on mobile. I don’t see an option like that in any of the browsers i use. What’s the name of that setting?

What about an anonymous email?

I’ve wanted this forever!! Especially when i was younger, but still somewhat to today. It would be so great if there was some way to get honest feedback from people about what they think of me. There have been lots of times in my life when my social life wasn’t going as well as i would want, but how do you improve something when you don’t know what needs improvement?

Like do i frequently have a bad smell? Am i too loud? Are my jokes landing poorly? It would be so great if i knew what people honestly thought of me!
