if politicians can't make decisions as good as subject experts, they should discuss it with subject experts. else why do politicians even have a job?

but what if the natives who are in tune with nature also had a magical tree that hosts a hivemind across the whole planet?

but also, blue 8 foot women. (i checked wikipedia and apparently the navi are 10 feet tall. pretty epic ngl.)

I am appalled at the fact that some people have casual sex with people they don't intend to marry. That's insane! But also yeah that's the infinity of human expression, people are just all kinds of different.

to be fair, with the taylor swift eras tour what happened was that taylor swift sold the tickets very cheaply but scalpers scalped it to hell and beyond, resulting in taylor swift losing out on a lot of money and scalpers having massive wins.

By inefficiency I just mean transactions per kWh. It's insane how expensive cryptocurrencies can get.

What I want to see either outlawed or behind strict age verification is online gambling, including in videogames as loot boxes as well things like counter strike skin casinos. That would be dope and cool and epic but it seems like there's not much political will for that sort of idea. It will probably take a high ranking politician's child spending thousands to gamble to get any sort of response.

i just started squid game recently (because i am very rebellious and react like it's opposite day when something is hyped up) and it really is very good, at least the first four episodes. i like it a lot. also this art is neat.

except for the insane fluctuations in currency value and the immense inefficiency of the whole system and all the fraud even in "stable" coins and all the lack of regulation

mostly sit in the fridge for a while

But at least this time it secures the phone against cellebrite & other hacking tools, right? ...right?

(for those unaware: there are tools built by cellebrite and other companies that can dump the internal storage of your phone and decrypt its contents without your consent. they're in use by most police in the US at least, probably other countries as well and definitely airports. They can hack just about every single phone, except for maybe the newest iphone with a really long pin and advanced protection enabled, and recent google pixels with grapheneos.)

according to the article it wants you to open and close your mouth, which the death stranding photo mode is easily capable of. you might also be able to do it with other games, or AI photo->video of your favorite politicians, preprogrammed to move around a bit and then open and close its mouth a few seconds later.
