Well now we can add all the planes Boeing manufactures to the list of things which the inevitable bankruptcy will jeopardise.


All the manufacturers of key pieces of military advanced weapons are on that list. Fighter jets are on the very top. When corporate America is now more about "business" than engineering, making a good plane is very expensive. It's just business :|


One has to wonder if a majority of lower class able bodied men would particularly care if an enemy took over.


Wasn't the lower class overwhelmingly pro brexit? They are xenophobic.


One only needs to look at the Glorious Revolution to see what a hostile takeover of Britain by a foreign power which pays lip service to Britishness would look like.

Also one rather needs ones army to be xenophobic, a xenophilic army would be somewhat poor at its job.

I've been musing that the majority of ~canon fodder~ lower class working men are so destructively disengaged from main stream western culture that a new branch of Islam with 19th century western sensibilities - nationalism, nativism, chauvinism, etc. - would have very little trouble in taking over.


And what about producing porn?

Do we arrest the parent or the child when the child posts a picture of their genitals on insta-snap?


Both of them. Just to be sure. /s


>Society has mutually agreed that if two people don't want to put in the work, they can split. Society has yet to really get to the next step of "living with kids is hard work, so you can just abandon the kids".

Society has decided that kids are a fashion accessory and the primary driver of population growth will be immigration - it's cheaper too no need to things like schools.


It's kind of funny that someone from a country like the US where the opinions which were mainstream 20 years ago are now hate crimes can say something like:

>I think the trend of modern people toward individualism is mostly the result of revealed preferences. People, for better or worse, want to make their own choices about their lives.


> Please note that homo sapiens sapiens is EOL and will not receive any security updates or bug fixes. Please update to homo sapiens sapiens sapiens as soon as possible.


The simplest way to get around that is to make it very clear that if you're not involved with raising the children you will not be involved with the children at all.

If you want to live in as an individual, more power to you, now fuck off and don't expect videos.


> Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.

I think we need to bring back sticks and stones in primary school so people understand the difference.


We had perfectly good words for it.

If we added new words someone would come along and claim them too.

This is what happens when you move from a society which values dignity to one that values suffering.


It is also what you get when language evolution makes was for language revolution - or revolutionary language - where language modification is used as a tool to achieve a means to achieve an ideological goal. When 'language is violence' but actual violence is 'mostly peaceful' or 'context-dependent' language loses its purpose.


On the contrary it servers it's purpose perfectly and lets you know exactly what the speaker means when they use those words.


We're in the odd situation where AMD cards are vastly superior for gamers in dollar/performance terms.

I'm on the market for a AI work station and I'm honestly thinking of doing a amd/nvidia split so I can have the graphics just work and the AI also just work.
