Religion shouldn’t be a free ticket to violate whatever laws they desire like they currently do though

I wouldn’t want a bell ringing in my ears all day either. Especially if I was a cat with more sensitive hearing

Blockchain (simplified) is a giant excel spreadsheet that you can never edit, only add to. I struggle to think of any applications that is a benefit for, and even then append only databases would already do it better.

One of the benefits is supposed to be decentralization, but people tout that as a benefit for things like house deeds, or identification, or whatever. Imagine how massive an append only excel file of every house with every owner change etc etc included in it would be. Then we once again only have the people who can afford to store that much data storing it, and we are back to where we are now.

It doesn’t really solve any problems, it just is a worse version of what already exists.

If you saw it before 2020 then yes it was the real one. They replaced it with a replica when they reopened post COVID

Universal actually treats a lot of their props and cars like shit, but I didn’t know that when I was visiting lol. They are the ones that destroyed the fiberglass car

My boyfriend is obsessed with back to the future and we have seen 4/7 screen used deloreans.

Peterson museum in LA has a restored one on display, they also have a gold delorean and a few of the new concept designs.

We got to see the one in Universal Orlando that was just chilling out in the middle of the sidewalk for a long time, but that one has disappeared since COVID. We didn’t even know this was a screen used one, we figured it was a replica cause people were walking up and touching it and stuff. Wild. Probably why it’s gone now, too many people fucked with it and it has to be restored. It sat out in the Florida humid ass weather for years though and no rust.

Unfortunately 2 are in Japan in private collections, but I don’t think anyone knows who owns them. 2 we saw were in a private collection, but the owners gave us a tour and we even got to sit in one of them (the other is the one they destroyed with the train). And the fiberglass one from 2 was destroyed so we will never see it :(

Perfect is the enemy of good. Trust me, I am very irritated by the complete lack of giving a fuck shown by billionaires and large companies.

But I also know that when it comes down to it the only thing they actually care about is money. And I am one of the people that provides them with that money by choosing to buy their products. Sure, it will take a significant amount of us to make a noticable impact but vegan alternatives have been becoming much more popular and prevalent because there is increasing demand. It’s happening. The dairy industry obviously feels threatened with their stupid wood milk campaign and desperate attempts to ban anyone else from using the word milk.

That is something I actually have control over. I can vote accordingly to try to stop rich assholes from destroying the earth, but I don’t control it alone. At least when the earth dies I can say I tried.

I think California is moving this way. They started producing their own insulin and suddenly everyone is reducing the price of their insulin to $30 a dose or whatever CA was charging. Let’s do it with more

I mean it depends how you define AI really… All these chatbots for every nice subject are definitely not going to be maintained when the hype dies out. But we’ve been using AI for years before this and will use it for years after… Chatbots aren’t the only thing AI can do

They should have just trademarked the rest of the days of the week for tacos

The type of people who ban masks are also the type of people that think you should be forced to work when sick 🤮

I feel like this has happened several times in the last year

This is my #1 also. So many people “just asking questions”

I also hate the circlejerk of people going “I cannot possibly comprehend being gay/trans/disabled/whatever but I let them do what they want!” They’re not aliens, you can listen to them explain what they are going through and have empathy. It’s not very complicated.

This thread has been great for cultivating my block list, thanks OP
