Because they're way more like ships than they are planes -- Planes don't stay in the air indefinitely or take long voyages, have large crews, etc -- They often treat the fighter pilot space ship people like AF though -- Like if I have a 'carrier' with a bunch of smaller ships on it

surely this is satire no?

end citizens united -- corporations aren't people

end lobbying so shell oil doesn't have 10000000X time and money to affect the government as a person does.

Quit assigning good/bad labels to companies that operate within the law and furious pursue laws that make us more equal, richer and safer overall

you can point and laugh all you want but the real meat of this story is that trust in our institutions is this low.

As someone once said, you will never see two chimpanzees carrying a log together.

Such a great point that really drives home just how much we cooperate and take it for granted.

The people with all the money don't care about anything like this. They don't even care about stewardship/long term value building except maybe the Dupont's and old moneyers. Why wait around trying to make or build something when I can just ride the hype train and make sure I get off and onto the next one before the house of cards falls down?

TSLA's market cap is 618 billion dollars

GM's is 45 billion dollars

Shell Oil's market cap is 200 billion dollars

I've decided that's what's wrong with everything at the core -- the only virtue is money and it doesn't matter how you get it. Spez or anyone else could be doing way worse and everyone would shrug.

Raising your kids is ultimately about preparing them to be full productive adults that can seek fulfillment and provide a net good to the world once they're adults.

I don't see any way you could create a microcosm in your home (any home) and meet that goal or not severely hamper your kid from meeting that goal.

It will design the machines to build the autonomous robots that mine the cobalt.... doing the jobs of several companies at one time and either freeing up several people to pursue leisure or the arts or starve to death from being abandoned by society.

McDonalds sells salads too

The sooner I get to my seat the sooner I'm out of the god damned airport and can begin whatever escapism I've chosen for the flight. The thing I truly hate is the airport and being in it.

I loved how in Stellaris one of the first missions you can get to do is find and destroy voyager since it has too much information other civilizations can use to wipe us out.

absolute power corrupts absolutely. It's not that those softwares are noble, they're just decentralized. I will say it's impressive that Tor doesn't have some people pulling the strings trying to take over (but it's probably the NSA right?)

There's a great fake commercial in the new Reno 911 where Reineisha is selling a Kyle Rittenhouse costume for black people because 'you'll be safer dressed like this than with black skin'

Divinity 2 mechanics > BG3 even though BG3 is obviously the ultimate masterpiece. Pumped to see what they do

“There were all kinds of things I was afraid of at first, ranging from grizzly bears to ‘mean' horses and gun-fighters; but by acting as if I was not afraid I gradually ceased to be afraid.” ― Theodore Roosevelt

that's a single word. When we make acronyms, they're subject to the pronunciation rules of the new word they've become, not the word the letter is sourced from -- This is pretty obvious if you think about it for a minute.

Uvalde PD sat in that school for 74 minutes listening to a gunman murder children and teachers. They rehired that lady mocking helpless parents and gloating about if she was in their shoes she'd not wait. They upgraded the termination record of the commander on scene that piece of shit Arrendondo.

I agree and I gave that option as the last one in the list.

sounds like carteling more than monopoly but maybe that's just a sub category

They do ~6B a year and clear about a billion, so that's actually like 10% of their profit which is a lot for a company that big -- wow!

Hey China I made you this sweet horse statue in the form of an x86 processor -- You should put it in the town square to show it off and then all go to sleep....
