    These Boston dynamics robot dogs

    But in reality, military aerial drones are much more terrifying. It sounds like a sci-fi dystopia that a billionaire could type your name, press a kill button, and within a few minutes a drone locates and bombs you. But this tech has already existed for over a decade, and is being used by the US in the Middle East and North Africa.

    Any individual possessing more than a lifetime's worth of money. Like after you have $30 million the rest goes into a bucket for everyone else to use. You can re-up from the bucket once you drop below mmmm a 5 year amount of money say $2 million. You can still amass bazillions of dollars, just not kajillions.

    America's Got Talent. For the past ten seasons, it's been as much a talent show as The Curse of Oak Island is a show about historical accuracy.

    There is a subtle, but important, difference between letting people know your product exists or improved, and brainwashing people into buying your product.

    Is a grocery saleman at the local saturday market allowed to shout about the sale he is doing on strawberries? Because that is also marketing.

    I fully agree that the average advertisement you see on youtube is pure cancer. But what about an advertisement for an emergency fund for a disaster?

    What about a sponsored video of a game?

    Where do you draw the line?

    Uncured bacon doesn't exist. It's a lie. Uncured bacon is cured with celery nitrates and nitrites instead of synthetic nitrates and nitrites. It is all cured bacon.

    And that's fine. If people want a more naturally cured bacon that tastes worse and has zero health benefits, and costs more, calling it "uncured" is still deceptive. It's also crowding out the actual bacon market on the low end.

    Cars. They are everywhere and are like cigarettes. Addictive, bad for our environment and bad for ourselves.

    And we even try to keep using them as long as possible by switching to an electric version, just like cigarettes. "But it's electric, it can't be that bad!"

    Humanity is not running to its doom, it's taking a car.
