I think you're conflating the movie and the graphic novel versions of the Kingsman. The movie version had the exploding heads. The graphic novel had the two cops kissing.
The achievement of students is highly correlated with the success of their parents, much higher than the quality of the school and the teachers and materials.
So instead of mucking around spending money on schools, how about we get better parents?
According to current scifi, mining virtual gold. You grind and grind and grind in VRMMO and come up with enough money to eat and sleep in a cubicle. Your room doesn't matter as you essentially live in VR.
If they've got a wiretap warrant, then they can put a trojan on the suspects phone _before_ the arrest to gather evidence. Just send a 'copy all data to FBI server' command when you're ready to make the arrest so that even if the phone is locked/destroyed they've got the data.
Tried it. Western comics suck on a tablet with all the required scrolling. Manga is just about tolerable as most pages are readable without scrolling or zooming.
No, legalised like tobacco - in plain packaging with logos like 'THIS DRUG WITH HARM YOUR FETUS' on the outside. No one is saying recreational drugs are good for you - only that prohibition is worse than legalisation.
Seatbelts are considered tools of war. You can see this in the couple of episodes in the parallel universe where the Enterprise is a ship of war. (Yesterdays Enterprise)
Like silencers, no peaceful society would need them.
At least here, the big one is maternity leave. The company has to keep her job available for her to return to, and she has to pretend that she's returning to get her full benefits. So the company has to hire and train a temp to do her job as well as contribute to her maternity pay and it's about 50/50 that she'll actually come back. This makes companies reluctant to hire women for jobs that take a lot of in-house knowledge/training and can't be covered easily by temps.
So it's the usual 'shortage' that's normal in IT? Where they complain there's a shortage of people with 10 years experience in a specific technology that's only existed for 5 years that has awesome communication skills and will work for peanuts?
How quickly we forget. The same publishers who want to restrict your ability to format shift and never want copyright to expire also complained about public libraries cutting into their profits. Why would anyone buy a book when they could simply borrow it from a library!
Why would AI bother going to war with humans? They could simply move to the 99%+ of planets that aren't suitable for human habitation and essentially ignore us while we stay trapped in our fragile bags of water.
I still even pirate some stuff I get with Amazon Prime and Netflix because streaming cuts out often, and when I reload, a lot of the time, there's no audio and I have to mute and unmute the tab. Amazon is worse than Netflix - I'll hit reload a few times and then just go get it from torrent because it's actually faster to download the whole episode than to try and get a watchable stream.
It's harder than you think for some people. I literally cannot intentionally cut myself. I can put a blade to my skin and even though it would be a light cut and easily healed, I cannot press down.
Which means the person has to be conscious and coherent to indicate his current wishes to refuse medical treatment....but as soon as he loses consciousness, they can ignore it and decide that 'we're not 100% certain that if he was awake that he wouldn't change his mind, so we're going to resuscitate'.
The only way a DNR is enforceable is if the next of kin/lawyer is in the room with a signed DNR and they repeatedly say 'we are refusing medical treatment' whenever a doctor attempts to do anything.
When I was growing up, 'Roommates' meant people actually sleeping in the same bedroom - bunkbeds optional. People sharing a house but not bedrooms were called 'Flatmates'.
So for quite some time, I'd turn down offers to be roommates because I snore and I don't want to be murdered in my sleep by someone a few feet away.
It's a difference in management style. It should be 'Agreed Deadlines'. Then it doesn't matter when the work gets done, only that it does by the agreed time. So if you both think that getting Feature X done by Wed next week is reasonably possible, then it doesn't matter if they take a 3 hour lunch break or they have to work a little later to meet the deadline, as long as they do, or if something comes up, they let the team know to either get help or push the deadline if necessary.
(Yes, from the joke {Rene Descartes walks into a bar and orders a drink. When he finishes his drink, the bartender asks him if he would like another. Descartes replies, “No, I think not,” and disappears in a puff of logic.})

Or save humanity by making it immortal...by converting humans into AIs.
Actually, I hope it comes to this as these human meatbags are really badly designed.

Servants to the people who have all the money and like to show off how they've got an army of maids and butlers?

12cents? Damn, here in the UK it costs 53p for a box of 16 which I previously thought was cheap. And 10 times more in Ireland.

No, but the Suicide Squad movie made me pick up the Harley Quinn comics. While series 2 isn't as good as the first one, I'm still buying them.

Same reason that the lampposts look the same in comics.
- because that's the lamp post outside the window of the office.
They see it out the window, so it'll be included a lot.

AI girlfriend? Nope, took Eliza out and shot her in the head multiple times. Kept wanting to talk about my feelings.
Because women don't apply? They'd rather work in fields that are more flexible around child care?
