Well, you could just change all the names and remove all explicit references to the original and then sell it. I was just looking at the new game Tempest Rising, which is extremely obvious about copying the plot and design of Command and Conquer, but it’s been changed just enough to avoid copyright.

Elon truly is a genius businessman. Letting him run the government is clearly a great idea.

Agreed.

Cybertruck owners, though, they’re a different story.

It’s pretty impressive just how thorough Trump and Elon are being about destroying every single thing that used to be good about the USA.

The official FAQ says at least 25k karma (or a mod with at least 500 mod actions). Open registration isn’t supposed to be until the first. If you don’t meet either of those criteria then I guess that’s just a lie.

Giving a for-profit corporation direct access to your brain sounds like a great idea with no downsides whatsoever. I love the thought of worrying about my brain implant having a glitch or facing planned obsolescence.

Edit: OH God I actually read the article and this thing connects to exterior devices. Imagine your brain literally being hacked.

To be specific, this is a pilot program, with the full launch coming later.

Everyone knows pro wrestling is all staged performances but I’ve never heard that said of boxing. As far as I know those are real.

Find a way to work a small amount of exercise into your daily routine. Walk places instead of driving, do some jumping jacks in the morning or before bed, something simple that you can get yourself to do without much stress or planning. If you do it consistently, even 10-20 minutes of exercise a day can make a big difference in the long run.

We have it the same as you. I never really gave it any thought.

Yup, Spiritfarer is my answer too. I played up through the first person to pass on and then couldn’t keep going.

Nothing to see here, folks, just Elon Musk, business genius at work.

Technically the vegan thing is possible if someone figures out a way to make lab-grown meat work. Definitely more realistic than a non-violent Nazi.

That’s very shocking. All of Elon’s other companies have such a strong reputation for reliable engineering. /s

I’ve been following Professor Phillips Obrien for analysis on this subject, and he largely shares your opinion.

He thinks that if the US really wanted Ukraine to win the administration would have been providing much more long-range weapons, and that they still could. Ukraine can still win, but it depends on their allies actually helping them do that.

Wait, they actually made that thing? I assumed the project would be canceled after everyone laughed at the reveal.

Not legal, unfortunately.

The Taft–Hartley Act amended the 1935 National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), adding new restrictions on union actions and designating new union-specific unfair labor practices. Among the practices prohibited by the Taft–Hartley act are jurisdictional strikes, wildcat strikes, solidarity or political strikes, secondary boycotts, secondary and mass picketing, closed shops, and monetary donations by unions to federal political campaigns.

I was surprised to see this wasn’t an Onion headline.

Depends on how you define “state”. IIRC, Marx drew a distinction between “state” and “government”, where the former is all the coercive institutions (cops, prisons, courts, etc). In this framework, you need a “government” to do the things you refer to, but participation in that government’s activities should be voluntary, without the threat of armed government agents showing up at your door if you don’t comply.

Oh, yes, please do. Just put that bullet in the skull of Twitter’s zombified corpse and end its suffering forever.
