I hope he got to experience indoor plumbing at least.

What a fucking miserable and undignified way to go. I'm sure Ukrainian guys suffer similar horror, but at least they're defending their homeland. This is just getting mangled for your masters imperialist dreams.

I assume by "fail" you mean "didn't succeed in preventing California from building an efficient high-speed rail system", right?

For me it was the Joan of Arc thing.

But I think more generally the implied notion that mentally unstable people shouldn't be helped because of art.

I've researched this by watching literally dozens of minutes of videos on YouTube. Real hardcore stuff with some things that most sheeple probably wouldn't be ready to accept, but it directly contradicts the main stream media narrative, so you know it's true. Also, basically all the claims were widely discredited and it's pretty obvious that so much energy wouldn't have been put into disproving something that was actually untrue, unless someone was trying to hide something from us.

You probably underestimate the amount of effort Apple puts into not doing this, to maintain user privacy, and for a good while their services have suffered for it.

As an example I'd highlight the year in review feature between Apple Music and Spotify. "Replay" is significantly worse than "Wrapped" and I believe the difference is data handling is the key differentiator. However, there are some advances in balancing privacy 2ith utility, as highlighted in this post from Apple ML research: https://machinelearning.apple.com/research/scenes-differential-privacy

"Arrows cost. Use up the ~~Irish~~ mobiks. The dead cost nothing."

My thought exactly. Arabic numerals imply the decimal system and then people can't use their grandma's recipes anymore.

Sure, but if we just didn't do stuff because it's hard, then we'd never chosen to go to the moon. That guy on TV said so.

We might not do stuff because it's an awful and downright terrible idea, but both looking at humanity as whole and my own personal experience, that doesn't seem to be much of a deterrent either.

Yeah, why should such a thing be regulated?

We all probably still remember the East Palestine accident, but all that turned alright in the end didn't it?

Yeah it makes total sense. It's a fantastic way to make sure you only get the most gullible, hardcore idiots that are easy to make money off.

It's like those longer running scams. They have built in mechanisms to find the best marks, by disqualifying anyone who might not be easy to convince early.

Same here. If you cultivate a crowd of conspiracy theorists, that have a proven track record of being easily swayed not by evidence but by lack of evidence, then you got the full-day morons eating from your hand.

Musk's posts go to everyone I'm pretty sure. Many people unfollowed him and he didn't like that, so now you get his excretes whether you want to or not.

Stupid headlines like this, are making us collectively dumber.
