1. Shipping probably already started.

2. B2B deals will have fine print about when units will arrive and be “released”.

From what I’ve seen elsewhere he appointed ~80% of the voting cardinals so there’s a better chance than usual that new pope will be at least relatively liberal.

I don’t disagree that it exists but I’m against purposefully expanding it. “People already have colds why not spread the flu?”

We’ve already outsourced our creativity and now we’re outsourcing our relationships? It’s just so abhorrent to me.

For now. Just a few years ago humanoid robots were only a pipe dream/nightmare…

At least dildos and fleshlights don’t pretend to be anything more than a toy. No one is that emotionally invested in their sex toys. They serve a physical purpose and that’s kinda it.

When you get into real-dolls and using this type of AI. There are mental health issues that are not helped and probably worsened by the existence of these things. Human connections to non-“real” things is weird af. It’s a one-sided relationship until the AI is capable of breaking up and leaving not just getting powered down and restarted.

John Smith

I mean at least in the US the median congressional age is 64.7 so yeah gramps doesn’t remember being that age much less having internet access. Doesn’t consider that you can’t find porn mags in the woods anymore.

Never interrupt your enemy while they’re making a mistake.

We’re only in April, of year 1, this gonna be a long mistake.

You see it mostly on the more political and gamer/incel type communities there.

Tbf the bond market getting rocked was in large part due to Canada, Europe, and Japan doing coordinated but relatively minor sales of the bonds they hold as part of the tariff response. Carney probably understands global finances more than any other world leader for getting that done the way he did.

Just need enough people to keep themselves unlynched and heinously wealthy. So many once at least moderately intelligent people use AI and are actively making themselves dumber as a result. You wonder why there aren’t riots its because there is enough information control. It is only once these purposefully misinformed people can see real effects to themselves e.g. tariffs effect on investments that they maybe break out of their echo chamber at least temporarily.

Hard to imagine when reality keeps showing otherwise.

Even liberals have been saying that now in modern times. Isolationism is a prime Republican message for a reason.

The line must go up so lobbying+no spines has ensured we haven’t do anything about it. There have been are a couple rare earth mines here in the US but it hasn’t been profitable and has been heavily subsidized. We needed some other source ready before doing something like this and we don’t have it. So it’s just stupid.
