A reminder for those not from the United States: bribing politicians in the United States is perfectly legal, and the standard operating procedure.

It’s just not called a bribe, because that is a crime that only poor people would be charged with. If you’re a large corporation or a billionaire, it’s automatically legalized for you. In fact, you’re considered extremely stupid and foolish for not bribing as many politicians as possible.

In the US, we call it “lobbying“

Well, then, why don’t you produce the numbers that you used to reach your conclusion. Speaking authoritatively as you are, you obviously must have them at hand.

I’d like to see those data and come to my own conclusion.

They’re called Macs, iPhones, and iPads.

macOS has been UNIX certified since 2001. NeXTSTEP, what Mac OS X and macOS is based on, was UNIX certified from 1986-1997 or so until development stopped.

iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, CarPlay… they are all UNIX.

UNIX workstations didn’t go away, they just got very pretty.

It’s hard to talk about an economic cost when the war is being paid for by Europe in the United States.

If you’re so tied up on personal criticism that you can’t see the logic of my argument, that’s your own problem. Stop blaming me for it.

Also, stop making assumptions about strangers. You’re more often to be wrong than right.

That’s definitely not what the episode was about. If you’re still confused, watch the last few minutes when Captain Kirk actually explains at all.

Clearly, I’m not the one who never watched that episode.

Thank you for displaying how much you missed the point I made.

The way you think is very small. Limited.

That’s a strawman – – this was never a conversation of robots versus humans. If you’re actually literate, you’ll see my comment spoke of the human cost of war demotivating those from stopping it. Not about robots versus humans.

But if you need to be dishonest in order to make your point, that shows everyone how bullshit your position is.

I think you’re mistaking me for yourself. I do not celebrate when people die.

And you clearly missed the point of what I just said.

I very much like Ukraine and hope they win. I cheer them on for every victory I hear about.

But this robot soldier bullshit is something I really fucking hate.

Once you remove the human cost of war, you remove any motivation to stop war. I learned this as a kid from Star Trek S01E23 - A Taste of Armageddon

Of course not. He doesn’t want the hostages, he wants the war.
