It’s never happened to me either. Maybe he’s experiencing some weird regional thing.

Still. Putting Dawkins up against the KKK is a reach.

There’s a chance this isn’t being done by someone who only wants Wikipedia’s data. As the amount of websites you scrape increases, your desire to use the easy tools loses out to creating the most general tool that can look at most webpages.

Pretty huge distinction

Are you talking about golems?

If they’re withdrawing to their bunkers, the surface probably isn’t that great.

If the device doesn’t have Internet access I don’t want it to have DST built in. Time changes can be dependent on changes in your government. We’ve already had its start date changed years ago. Recently there’s even been some vocal officials talking about ending it entirely.

EDIT: typo

I think you’re thinking of VIKI from I, Robot.

A.I. Artificial Intelligence was the movie where Haley Joel Osment was a robot kid.

Based on the article, that’s very clearly what they want.

EDIT: anyone who’s downvoting me should try explaining why the Democratic mayor of a Muslim majority town that hates pride flags is endorsing Trump. Some people clearly don’t mind if Trump wins.

This doesn’t make sense. How could the “Abandon Harris” movement start late last year when Harris wasn’t even the candidate?

what’s easier? Convincing everyone you know to download signal or whatsapp or matrix or whatever or having that built into the text app [convincing everyone to buy the same phone].

FTFY

When presented this way, the choice is very different.

there were enough checks on his power that he mostly managed to simply be incompetent and chaotic

There were no real checks. He had way too many Republicans in Congress for there to be. Most of what protects America is gentleman’s agreements that we all assume a normal president wouldn’t defy.

If the leader of the FBI attempts to investigate him again, they could just hire a new one who won’t.

That is literally what happened last time. The house (where Republicans are a majority) wouldn’t pass a bill that makes firing the FBI director illegal so there’s no real difference.

If this weren’t gendered I’m not sure I would connect that this was posted as result of people’s reaction to the bears vs men thing.

It’s not. That subreddit is garbage. The mods legit ban people if the user rates people higher than the mod wants.

They more you learn, the more you realize how much progress has been made over the years.

Fun fact: Judy Garland was paid less than her costars

Judy Garland’s salary: $500 a week.
Ray Bolger’s salary: $3,000 a week.
Jack Haley’s salary: $3,000 a week.
Bert Lahr’s salary: $2,500 a week.

Surprisingly, she was paid more than Toto. Toto’s salary: $125 a week.
