The ~~rich~~ lower middle class and up aren’t doing anything wrong here. They’re being offered free lunch and their kids are accepting it.

From what I read, it didn’t even just suck, it was practically fraud. They knew how many sales they had and only stood up enough servers to support around 200 players.

Everyone who works on making software is a developer, even people who don’t program at all. people who make art for software work in software development. A “coder” only writes code. It’s more of a task than a job. A software engineer does technical design and probably also codes.

This is what I was very very excited for. The Hubble photos were more exciting because they’re visual spectrum. The James web is all about discoveries.

I remember some really jarring inconsistencies between the robots of dawn and the previous two Elija Bailey books. It really seemed like Asimov didn’t even bother to read his previous books before writing The Robots of Dawn. There were several inconsistencies.

One big one that I remember is that in The Robots of Dawn City residents have salaries and money! Previous books were explicit that there wasn’t money and instead people were given allotments of things based on their position in society. This is a huge change and it’s not acknowledge at all. It’s treated like it’s totally normal to have money in The Robots of Dawn.

Some other differences were smaller, but still made it obvious that Asimov hadn’t read his previous books before writing new ones. For example, Bailey is comforted by the night sky in The Robots of Dawn where in previous books, the night sky made him more disoriented and made him pass out because he could see out into space. It wasn’t meant to show that Bailey had progressed. It was presented as an obvious fact that people of earth would feel more comforted by night skies. There were a lot of small things like this.

You’re pleasant. That’s very tortured logic to avoid the obvious that they’re banning other people from using something that they aren’t willing to ban for themselves.

They don’t do it for alcohol. Kids eventually become adults and old enough to make their own choices and decide to buy alcohol not. This law would ban people born too late from ever being allowed to buy.

It's not anti democratic to make laws against harmful things. Specifically harmful things that make you quickly chemically dependent on it.

I didn’t say it was. Banning only a specific group is what’s anti democratic.

That’s a very weaseling way to describe it though. It may hold legal water, but you have to be willfully ignorant to not see how it’s banning a group of people buying something based on the group they were born into.

Effectively banning something for a group of people who had no choice about being in that group. If you can’t ban something for yourself then it shouldn’t be banned for others.

Asimov was rarely faithful to his own work. He frequently wrote sequels where it seemed like he hadn’t even read the previous book he wrote decades ago.

The show isn’t been faithful to the book, but it’s been good and parts of it are better than the books while other parts are obviously worse.

This does seem super anti democratic. Banning things for only people of a specific group made up of people who were born into it is pretty gross no matter what it is. If it’s worth banning then it should be banned for everyone. Or no one.
