This is a weird one, some of the posts are obviously a human, some are a mix and some are AI entirely. Maybe I just don't understand the point in posting AI generated content at all in this scenario.

This feels ai generated, was it?

The guy is walking off a cliff and he is blinded by the flag. I assume it is a commentary on Brexit. It is just short of a decade since that vote. Nationalism blinded people and they did something stupid. Not dissimilar to what is going on in the US too.

The corruption is just legal. That's the difference. So you still get lobbyists and political donors, the Jobs for MPS after they leave office. So yes the corruption is there. It's just legalized and doesn't look like brown envelope stuffed with cash

Tiny raindrops formed the Grand canyon. These are the first raindrops we are seeing now. They will not be the last.

Even proper capitalism would be anti whatever this current system is. It's a bastardization of capitalism which has been molded to allow those in power and with money to accumulate more of both.

They say socialism works in theory but not in practice, whereas capitalism should not work in theory but does in practice. Which is bullshit, because we have never tried either approach without a corrupt government layer that seems to enrich themselves over everyone else.

I mean its a nice idea. But short of FTL/Wormholes there is never going to be a practical need to do this. If the sun goes supernova then perhaps it would happen but even then we would spend centuries in space terraforming planets to make them liveable,

If the planet is sterile it will need to be terraformed, if it isnt it will likely kill us. Just moving people round this planet caused deaths by the introduction of diseases to new communities.

so we then need to sterilise the planet before terraforming it. There just doesnt seem to be a need for expansion to other planets. Short of our star going supernova everything else is cheaper to fix here.

69.3 isnt safe. The safe thing to do is remove all trivy access. or failing that version. 0.35 is the last and AFAIK only safe version.

you may want to re-evaluate your understanding of the word hackers. It has had a few definitions during my lifetime and none of the fit with how you have used it here.

This is like the saying blood is thicker than water, but the the full version:

The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.

Sometimes you relationship with your FOC is stronger and better, because it is not built on genetic predisposition but rather it is a bond that you intentionally create.

Seriously, I don't need my car to get weekly OTA updates. And my 8yr old nissan qashqai had lane assist, it's hardly revolutionary. Tesla is pretty much dead in Europe, mainly due to Musks personality, but the quality of its product is also poor.

HK is dead, it's just China now. No independence and so no reason to be there than mainland China.

The banking and shipping and other service industries will slowly migrate to Singapore and KL, possibly Bangkok and HK will be a non-entity in a decade or two. I know many HK expats who moved to the UK who had seen it's decline in just the last 5 years.
