This is kinda the plot the later Callahan's books by Spider Robinson. Man-eating aliens who believe the only ethical way to slaughter is to trick the meat into slaughtering itself, and so they infiltrate humanity to encourage that.

While that's awful that's not really a municipal issue like housing and water treatment.

Sorry we're too busy preventing you from having your own home, we can't squeeze in not poisoning you.

So did did Visa and MasterCard ever stop payments to... like... Infowars? I know PayPal went after them but the credit card networks are a level even higher.

As much as I love their direction, i still have trouble taking their commentary seriously because they played a part in creating the gen X/Millenial bump of wierd conservatives who think they're smarter than everybody because they're "independent" conservatives.

Like their central ethos was "caring about people is for losers".

Best to just down vote and move on.

I can't speak for op but I tried that for 40 years Take the meds.

Uh, meds for things like ADHD are the same here in Canada, actually. While our hospitals and doctors are on a different system from you, our meds are generally the same... I mean, from the end-user business of private pharmacies and health insurance and whatnot. There's some kind of collective negotiation with buying that I don't know about that controls the prices.

I turned it off when it failed to failover to sms when there was no data connection.

Are both me and the recipient online? Send RCS. Are either of us not connected? Send sms. How is that so hard?

Otherwise RCS is just "worse SMS for people with intermittent data connectivity".

I wonder if Android Wear wouldn't work as an OS basis for this - lower power requirements, probably allows black-and-white screens. The problem there is that Android Wear is absolute hot garbage that can't decide if it's stand-alone or companion to your phone.

Why is not just targeting raw AOSP instead of Google Android not considered? It seems like you could use modern hardware with that... is it the lack of Play Store that's the dealbreaker?

That's not how inflation works.

Yup. The game is pretty overrated, imho, but its aesthetic was amazing. No lighting system, everything was hand-shaded with textures that really got the Megaman look. One of a kind style.
