"Will be meeting Aunt Marie at the local power substation at 2AM tomorrow. Bring presents, tell your friends!" And if enough of the "right" people show up, you've done a BANG up job.
That's pretty easy to counter. All the other side has to do is point out that there's been a rare Pokemon spotted on the other side of town and no one will show up.
Objective in the more broad general sense of "fair," as in "I'm going to give a fair chance to everyone to shoot their stupid pie-holes off, even if they're fucking brain-dead morons who've clearly spend a good percentage of their lives huffing gasoline behind a 7-Eleven." It's the same system we use for voting rights.
Well, in this case "objective" generally means letting people shoot their mouths off without censoring them for it, even if they're dumbasses who you strongly disagree with--in fact *especially* if they're dumbasses who you strongly disagree with. If every social media company only allows people to speak who agree with them, then all you're going to get is an echo chamber that, like an inbred trailer park, only gets more-and-more stupid, radical, and out-of-touch over time.
Letting the other side speak is how we remind ourselves that the world isn't just comprised of our own fragrant farts.
I would settle for a moment of peace where every "friend" on Facebook or Twitter didn't feel the need to bombard with insipid inspirational quotes and the tiniest of details on every moment of their boring fucking lives. "I just took a shit this morning, and so here's an inspirational quote about shitting that I absolutely need to share with the world," said every friend and relative of mine on Facebook every day.
As volatile as politics are now, I wouldn't trust anyone to be "objective" anymore. Shit, even my local donut shop is starting to get too heavy-handed with the politics on their Facebook page.
God damn horseless carriages ruining everything...
Except I'm pretty sure none of us commoners are every going to get to ride on a SpaceX rocket. It's not like Musk is ever going to produce a Model T spaceship for the rest of us. He's just a rich prick indulging a hobby that will, at best, let NASA continue to pretend they aren't just wasting taxpayer money on a useless space station for a little longer.
Oompa Loompas are hard to find these days. Turns out that LoompaLand species never evolved a natural immunity to polio or most STD's. And those little fuckers are all anti-vaxxers and just WILL NOT wear condoms. So they've taken a pretty hard hit on their numbers. Wonka even had to start begging for H1B's.
Because Sony seems to have all the best exclusives right now, and MS has specifically stated that all their Xbox exclusive games can be played on a PC too. So remind me why I should thrown down another $500 on a Xbox in 2020 after I just wasted $500 on one in 2017 and could just buy a PS5 and PC instead?
I live in a working class area in the U.S. where most people still use cash. Still, the only thing I really have to use cash for now are tips and donations. I wish more charities would offer some sort of credit card scanner when they're having a drive. And any place where you are expected to tip should offer an option to include your tip as part of payment (most restaurants do now, but there are still a few holdouts). The only business I've run into around here that still absolutely requires cash is this one Asian dry-cleaners that I stopped going to because I got tired of having to go to an ATM just for them. They're probably losing half their business just to save 2% on CC processing fees.
Many companies, in Europe, use job offerings as a kind of "advertizement". In other words: there is no such job, no idea if that also happens in the US
Speaking as someone who recently had to look for work, I can assure you that this is very much the case in the U.S. as well. Very, very few advertised positions represent actual jobs. The vast majority of them fall into one of these categories:
1) Job recruiter bait (no actual job, just a fake ad for a job recruiter basically) 2) A job that they already have someone in mind for, but have to advertise for legal reasons 3) A job with the unstated hidden requirement "must be a woman or minority" 4) A continuous fake job ad that's just intended to solicit resumes to add to the pile 5) A job that is posted with ridiculous qualification requirements or a terrible salary, just so the company can claim they can't find anyone to fill it when they apply for an H1B hiring permit.
Disney could view this as a moment to learn about franchise fatigue, how fans are getting sick of their injection of weird feminist politics into SW, how they need to focus on better writing and directing, etc.
Instead I guarantee you that Kathleen Kennedy will spin this as "People aren't interested in seeing movies with white male heroes anymore."

Barring some yuuuge change, we are headed for a civil war or split-up.
I'm hoping that Millennials will turn back from the brink when they realize that there isn't an app for civil war.

Why do rockets get priority over airliners so the airliners have to reroute around rocket launches?
Cause rich asshole, of course.
He also can't do no unions.
And since when has any billionaire given a flying fuck about how many of us filthy commoners get shit on by their self-indulgent hobbies?
Thank you folks, I'll be here all week. Don't forget to try our potato bar.
Please see subsection 10.2 of the Cocksucking Motherfuckers section for additional info.
How are you going to compensate us for all the money we're going to lose now that no one is going to be downloading our free game?
We demand justice, sir!

That safeguard code is easy to write:
CASE WHEN IS Car THEN NOT KILL
CASE WHEN IS Truck THEN NOT KILL
CASE WHEN IS Bicycle THEN NOT KILL
CASE WHEN IS Human THEN NOT KILL
ELSE KILL;
I just hope no one reads this and tries to take a nap the next time they turn on their Tesla autopilot.

Yeah, but at least these developers will be able to continue their development work. They just won't be getting paid for it anymore.

So just how are they going to offset that???
They're going to plug all the volcanoes and hope they don't anger Kahapuahpuah, the Polynesian god of lava and cheap hotel fares.
The autopilot refused to take a field sobriety test.
