AH. It's difficult to believe the Swiss are considering legislation for a "basic income" of 2800 Francs ($2500) for every adult citizen. What might their defense budget be? Yeah right, they're neutral (cough cough)... Is the Eurotypical socialist government viable without subsidized defense through NATO?
I hope your optimism proves out. Premature reports of the eminent death of hydrocarbon reserves have been circulating since Carter(76-80) in this fool's living memory, and color me astonished if the alleged scarcity of an energy source has not been exploited prior to that, for fun and profit.
Or, it's rated (M)ature to give the kids the same illicit thrill that we got attending an R rated film with forged permission notes from our parents. Admittedly a small sampling, my kids (and their friends and relatives) played the shit out of GTA right up until they were legally able to. Varying to some degree from boy to boy, the game lost it's luster shortly thereafter.
Interesting. There is a subset of gamers who will kill prolifically enough for a media smorgasbord. It may well be the violence in the game translates to/fosters violence in real life. There is also a correlation between those who play FPS games and those who drink milk. There are too many milk drinkers in the world anyway.~
is primarily tweens and teens who worship Bieber, Swift, and company... not you/. eggheads. When you are young, there is something deliciously bad about running amok through a world with no rules.
is his inability to imagine he cannot explain every single thing. No matter where you mark time in history, you may rest assured that thinking men were fairly smug regarding the technology and science of their day.... there will hopefully always be much we have yet to comprehend.
Patriotism is rooted in tribalism, and at various and sundry periods in time it was a survival mechanism for a random selection of genetic information. Whether or not this feature is presently vestigial, it remains religion-like as a proven tool to govern and/or control populations.
Like you, I imagine representatives of the lawmaking class viewing freedom for the masses as a dark thorn in the side of their mission to protect us. Still, I hold out hope proponents of a great and free society have infiltrated the ranks of the rule makers to work clandestinely on the other side.
I find my mind wandering to the test Leon ultimately fails in Bladerunner. The amount of technological skill necessary to fool a professionally aware tester would dwarf the amount necessary for Rachael to succeed on eHarmony.
The article-reading blasphemers will lure you in with a plausible argument, and then slope all slippery, they'll have you linking the story before you can post. Gasp!
about statistics and probability. If you have enough contact with animals that can kill you, the likelihood of an incident detrimental to your health approaches one. No one, not even a professor of orca, can predict when the beast is having a bad day. Or a sore tongue. Or a misunderstanding.
Oddly enough, the Western predilection for certain sources of sustenance becomes a moot point in about 7 days. Since our young love every nutrient they Get, remember each & every nutrient.
They will laugh at a single voice of dissent, perhaps mock even a dozen, but know that each additional naysayer chips away at their belief set. Imagine being aware of the Windsor's primogeniture a month ago. If the coverage proves anything at all, it's that if you are exposed to enough fecal matter some of it will stick.

Don't go changing to try and please me, you never let me down before. I couldn't love you any better, I love you just the way you are.

As fat, spoiled Westerner, I am all for it as long as there's conventional fuel backing up the redeye I'm traveling on.

Don't they have corporations in Canadia to tell the scientists how the studies should turn out?
That is where the Library files it. I suppose it also posits as both potential prophecy and how-to manual.

Crafty. Just saw the "Bodies" in Vegas. Well done.
Some men just want to watch the World burn.

Now this is when it get tricky. Should a replicant know they are a replicant?
I imagine this would depend entirely on the mission. It is possible an unself-aware robot designed to pass a humanity test would score better.

Uh-huh. And chances are, the NSA has your best interests at heart when they read your e-mail.

Is that because they're not tasty or because they're not easy to farm? Some folks will say that dog tastes amazing, though I've never tried it myself.
Farm? I mean you are aware that they will allow you to "adopt" your supper from two or three places in every mid-sized city?

I think we have minions. :)
Ah, the most reliable of allies.
