When asked how miserable millennials are, the response was overwhelmingly unchanged, in-fact the generation regards itself as having the shittiest life experience marked by late-stage capitalism, and the adoption of a boring cyberpunk dystopia. US millennials largely see retirement as something impossible, as many cannot afford homes, cars, or healthcare.

See, that's why they just mention under 30s, because it's far worse for the rest of us.

On one hand, I love the idea of there being consequences for my ex.

On the other, my ex has to find a way to afford health insurance without me. That alone is a suitable consequence for me.

That's ...

Odd? I can't wrap my head around the lack of coherent threats anymore.

Like I knew it was going to be bad, but I expected more action and less, uh, I guess stupid statements? Like is this drug fueled, or is it just idiots talking? Idiots talking while on drugs?

Not exactly how I expected the AI wars to go, but I guess since we're in a cyberpunk world, we take what we get

No, I pretty much supported him the moment it was clear that the CEO toppled over from a pre-existing condition called "being vulnerable to lead projectiles."

Ok, so can we talk about how fucking odd it is that the Republicans are clearly an institution of pedophiles, who are now in total power, and who can change the laws as they see fit, but don't?

I disagree. War breeds innovation, and while the F-35 is certainly a risk, I am pretty certain they won't get shut down mid flight. That would be a risk to USA operators too.

I think having the RAF, who already has the F-35 and experience maintaining and flying them, would be a perfect candidate to see how far the F-35s go before they can't be flown.

I still think they need to replace the F-35, but it might also create incentive for the existing owners to re-engineer vulnerable systems for a significantly better outcome.

Additionally, based on the personalities of fighter pilots I have known, they'd be all sorts of up for this opportunity. If they can get the ability to operate independently of the US, then the rest of the world has Gen V fighters while Russia has none.

Edit: Additionally BAE is one of the major subcontractors on it. I would suspect they can provide a major benefit to it as well.

If it was anyone but the current administration, I would almost believe it.

Zombie Deer Disease makes me a lot more concerned about it than Chronic Wasting Disease.

Pretty much the only people that know about CWD around here are deer hunters because of license requirements.

Zombie Deer Disease makes it a billion times scarier and easier to remember

No. Most blue states have adequate taxation to maintain operations without federal funds, and the federal funds go towards enhancements. Actually I'm pretty certain this won't affect any blue state beyond a headache of having to rearrange budgets. But I also happen to know that a lot of school districts in my state at least anticipated this happening and have taken measures in advance to keep the education unimpeded.

Edit: additionally, most blue states only receive funds from the Dept. of Education in the forms of higher education. This will have a lasting impact on academia, but not basic education, which is far more vital.

Remains unclear whether the Trump administration will apply the law in this way.

Uh gestures broadly around

Pretty certain we can assume that it will.

Well this wasn't in my bingo card.

I mean, if Russia and Ukraine can both agree in recognizing Palestine as a state maybe the rest of the world (USA) needs to take a hint
