    I don’t think voting for Trump will help the Palestinians, when he says things like,

    “you’ve got to have victory. You have to have a victory, and it’s taking a long time." Trump said that Israel must "finish what they started, and they’ve got to finish it fast, and we have to get on with life."

    Him being physically incapable of understanding the taint of coercion might also explain the years’ long delay in releasing the AGPL? Interesting.

    That’s infuriating, I was going to recommend that. It gets cancelled because it doesn’t make money, but it saves so much money by preventing people from using a higher acuity of care than they need.

    Ooh, I know this one! WoTC already did that earlier this year by putting out their own "woke criticism" press-release so that they could secretly introduce gambling as a D&D product via blind-boxes.

    Only if they, too, were willing to foot the bill for the arbitration fees. Hint: nobody else does that, they want the consumer to pay their own way to reduce filings. That's what happened with Twitter's severance filings, they got hit with millions in arbitration fees.

    As per title. Most computer games these days are made with such unnecessary padding that I want to murder the devs or myself by the end. See, for example, [Hyrule Warriors, the 100% 1000 Hour Nightmare, the Review](https://youtu.be/u5siRHAQXIs). The second game I ever 100%ed was Arceus and I still can’t stand the thought of picking it up again, years later. The first game was Horizon Zero Dawn, which is still fun.

    I prompted Bing with Ian Malcom's timeless quote, "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should," and it gave me this nightmare in return.

    [Moral Crumple Zones](https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2757236) discusses how humans are used to absorb liability from automated systems. With [Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving linked to hundreds of crashes, dozens of deaths](https://midwest.social/post/11509614) getting traction, it’s time to remind everyone that Tesla’s design choice to [disengage self-driving in the instant before impact is intentional](https://www.motortrend.com/news/nhtsa-tesla-autopilot-investigation-shutoff-crash/) to ensure the driver is in control during the moment of impact, even though self-driving disengaged way too late for the human to react. In my opinion, they’re sacrificing both bystanders and customers to preserve immunity from liability.
