That’s valuable information. Why wouldn’t anyone want to relay that information?

The Military Industrial Complex has been normalized over centuries. Humanity just can’t stop killing each other. It’s an instinct that evolved to be helpful to survival at one point thousands of years ago but may actually mean the end of humanity soon.

AI and all of the resources it consumes have not yet been normalized to anywhere near the level of “Defense”.

Give it time and average humans will care just as little about all the resources consumed by AI as they care about all the resources consumed by war. Unfortunately I seriously doubt that it will go the other way around and humans will suddenly start caring more about the resources consumed by the Military Industrial Complex. That ship has sailed…

I’m replying from a Nothing CMF Phone 2 Pro.

The phone itself is responsive. The software is clean. The Camera is pretty mediocre. There is no wireless charging.

I would prefer a phone with a better camera and wireless charging but that’s easily 2x to 3x the price. I always just but unlocked phones so this was a good mid-quality option.

How about the color corrected version?

Or is the original color variation part of the vibe?

The people in this comic are both monsters.

You don’t touch the thermostat.

Hey…wait a sec now.

Arrive in EU, go through customs with US passport, 180 days later go to the airport, walk straight to customs and go through with your Carribbean passport. Rinse and repeat every 180 days? Hmmm…

The article isn’t helpful for most of the target audience.

Citizens of the Carribbean nations in the article can currently enjoy up to 180 days in the EU visa-free. The same exact visa-free window as citizens of the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, and New Zealand are granted.

Citizenship to one of these Carribbean island nations can certainly help you leave North America, but it doesn’t help you get any more access to the EU than you currently have. It just helps you move to…the Carribbean.

Is this a Lord of the Flies joke or a immortal snail joke?

Yes and no. Just like John Wick still had his hitman tools hidden in his house, tech workers who say they want to buy a farm and be a luddite will not be able to resist having a hidden server closet in their farmhouse.

I like the “born on third base; think they hit a home run” analogy, too.

These guys look like they’re crawling at first glance. Took me a second to realize they were in a crouch position getting ready to sprint.

What lind of Horton Hears a Who shit is this?

My tinnitus is a real vibration and not faulty signals from dead hair cells in my inner ear?

Seriously?

Yes. This.

Say what you mean and mean what you say.

If you’re romantically interested in someone, say “hey, I’m romantically interested in you”.

Do not have a “crush”, do not have a friend you’re secretly in love with, do not secretly pine for anyone. It is not interesting, it does not make you stronger, you are not the protagonist in a romance novel, and you are dumb if you want to try to “save our friendship”.

If the other person is not interested, say “Thank you for your honesty. It’s been nice knowing you” and move on with your life. Stop wasting time. Life is too short.

Say what you mean and mean what you say. Don’t waste precious time on imaginary scenarios.

I think you’re onto something here. I agree.

I don’t. Southeastern USA.

Delta not only charges you for the privilege of selecting your own seats, but charges you for the “preferred” aisle or window seat.

Here’s a flight in January 2026 to Atlanta:

And here’s the seat key denoting the aisle and window seats as “preferred”

I mean, don’t charge extra for something then not deliver it. Seems cut and dry.

If the aisle/middle/window in coach all cost the same price then no one would have any standing to sue. The airlines charged customers extra. They did this to themselves.

Yep.

“But we already have dishwashers and washing machines”

No shit, but for some reason when I put my dirty clothes in the laundry basket they don’t show up folded in my drawers without me, ya know…doing the laundry.
