Give me what I want, and I will gladly pay:

Truly anonymous unpersonalized YouTube under the old algorithm from the early 2000s.

No tracking, no censorship, no manipulation, no boosted videos…

Truly anonymous payment options.

Google-free viewing.

But you make most of your money by tracking all that, and keeping me from finding the videos I actually want to watch, so who am I kidding.

Could we vaccinate Herpes to forget how to latch on to cells?

> If autoimmune disease is a flawed concept

Then testing this technology might prove your hypothesis.

New comment by Etrnl_President in "Is air conditioning making cities hotter?"

Etrnl_President — Sun, 10 Sep 2023 20:32:58 +0000

Cities are made of houses. Houses are made of rooms. If rooms are hot, aren't cities hot? If room heat is pumped outside, did the city temperature really change? What is the heat-island effect?

People believe we are coming out of an ice age?

This means they deny climate is changing.

And have car cubs? Manufacturers would lose control of the herd, they'd never allow it!

Rear seatbelts won't work unless you subscribe, so this is a road safety issue, with government fining you for passengers…

It means track users across cars, enabling or disabling features based on who owns or drives it. Might even simplify things by tying it to a social credit score. Screw that.

Puncture loudspeakers, and use external audio.

The user subsidizes that package with every day of fuel spent per pound of that package.

Now lower taxes, start picking up poop, and enforcing property rights, and I might move back!

The opposite of a black man is not a white man. If you think this is about race, you are confused.

I wouldn't mind this, as long as BMW compensates me for the extra pounds of gear they installed. Fuel ain't cheap.

It's not true privatization, if the taxpayer covers losses and enforcement, nor if taxes previously collected for the service aren't reduced.

It's a merger of corporation and state, which is somethig Sorel advocated.

Security is the reason all my personal info on social media is lies. They take your account, and can now use it to unlock other accounts, like at your bank, etc.

Because 1776 is the answer to 1984?
