Whatever a red car is still a car.

It’s dumb to say it isn’t a planet just because it hasn’t yet cleared its orbit. The decision to make it “not a planet” was also made by astronomers, not by planetary scientists. Like people with “Star” in their name know more about planets than people with “planet” in theirs.

Anyways it’s extra silly because if you have “real planets” and “dwarf planets” then what is the higher group containing those two? “Things that orbit the sun”? No, they should both be planets.

There are at least 9

Pluto is a dwarf planet. Planet. You wouldn’t say that a dwarf person isn’t a person.

Self driving fucking when, I just want to sleep in my car while it takes me places

For a better life, no baby

No my bank and my work use different ones

I guess I don’t

I just want them to make it so I can use my password manager, because juggling multiple authentication apps and sms messages etc just makes me less likely to turn on 2fa in the first place.

2-factor would be fine if it didn’t have to involve my phone. It’s such a pain in the ass. Like a second password would be fine, so my password manager could just do both at once.

You guys don’t iron clothes?

I’m a millennial and I iron my clothes, how do you get the wrinkles out??? Teach me your secrets

I don’t like it when underprivileged people get the short end of the stick. It sucks.

But trains are awesome, and it is IMPOSSIBLE to create the infrastructure we desperately need without some people being inconvenienced.

They’re fixed rates, maybe that’s a good idea!

lol how tight would it be if I could buy my own mortgages off of the bank for a discount

I have a setting and characters but no story. And I have stuff that could be part of a story, but I don’t know how to put it together. Like an arranged marriage, and jealousy between someone born to power and someone who fought to earn it. I just don’t know how to make a story that fits all of them in there.

Sure but they get their money the same way the rich do, via capital gains.

What about retired people?

I don’t have all the answers, it’s like saying I want candy and not knowing how to make it.

That said, maybe something like a tax on children, free contraceptives, free sterilization, free abortion. Pay people when they reach 45 if they don’t have kids. Robot caregivers for elder care in a decreasing population.

It mentions that the right wants to limit immigration in response, but is that a non sequitor? Like the article doesn’t say anything about the crime being done by immigrants or their descendants. Like is that true? Who knows, the article doesn’t address it.

Oh no not a drone

Compare and contrast to the crewed Russian surveillance airplane shot down recently

Sure but all those humans need an insane amount of farmland that dwarfs the amount of land they need for housing. And that’s ignoring meat consumption.

With a huge population, beef consumption is insane and is destroying the world.

With a small population, it isn’t a big deal.

What’s wrong with potato salad?

Exactly. That’s insane.
