Small fluffy mammals of any kind are always fun. Pangolins or Armadillos though would be fun.

River dolphins survive in freshwater happily, your dream is achievable.

Obviously worms in general are needed, but any big group of mainly parasitic ones I could happily delete without a second thought. Ideally let’s also destroy any records of their existence.

Wasps are crucial pollinators, and predators for millions of other poisonous, venomous, deadly bug and animals (including other wasps). Ecosystem surviving the sudden loss of all wasps is questionable.

uBlock on firefox here, no User Agent spoofing, videos load in ~1-2 seconds as normal still. Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s used in nicher circumstances though.

Given how quickly everyone I know took to using Chrome on phones despite no adblock being available, I think sadly it won’t have as big an impact as I wish it would.

Yes, pursuing infinite, endless bloody war is a sound strategy. Compared to say, finding a reasonable compromise that ensures everyone’s security?

Frets on Fire! It was the cool open-source equivalent to Guitar Hero. And you know what - it was pretty hecka cool to wield your keyboard like a guitar.

Demos still exist, sure. Just not anywhere to the scale and pervasiveness that they used to. Nor do they come in cereal boxes.

I remember when virtually every single game allowed you to play a ‘Demo’ for free, so you could find out exactly what the gameplay is like in any game before playing it. They often came in my cereal boxes as a kid, or free to pick up at the checkout. I still have a cool CD from the 2000s which has like five big studio name Demos in one.

Now that’s Pepperidge Farm Remembers. Or did I out myself as too old?

As a fellow UK-er, the only real criticism I’ve heard about automatics is that it can be difficult to pull off quickly from a standstill - Have you found that at all?

Any sources to back up that a vague amount of infrared of the eye region is so meaningfully essential to face recognition systems? My sunglasses reflect most visible light, and they reflect some infrared light, and they cost $5. Even granting that very shaky claim, infrared blocking materials aren’t that expensive, this seems like a gimmick to make up for big prices.

A mask and any sunglasses or hat will prevent facial recognition 1000x better I suspect.

I already have the right to say my mind and it doesn’t help my living situation at all, meanwhile right-wingers thankfully utilise their right to call for my death, the concentration of power is all in businesses which right-wingers consistently protect, and wtf does it mean to defend stable families?

Undoing all the tax, benefits, and public services I’ve ever had wouldn’t get me out of poverty. Undoing the business and the non-worker class price gouging and manipulating of me and my family, and instead having a better incentive than profit, absolutely would.

Absolutely this is why. And owning stuff isn’t a job - only workers contribute to society.

Unfortunately, having bourgeoisie rulers and landlords is the central underpinning to capitalism.

I don’t think 100 million will buy you a hill of beans in US politics. And I don’t think they’ll betray their class interests for any amount of money - what’s the point in taking a $100m bribe if it means there’s fair taxation and more equitable living that prevents them being top dog with that money?

Corporate subsidies and corporate tax evasion are always in competition for big dollar values. Not to mention unpaid wages.

Meanwhile there are POOR people getting some FOOD??!??!?

I appreciate the attempt to engage in discussion about it, but it is an interesting position. Do you not think your position directly competes with assertions from The Communist Manifesto, or State and Revolution, or most communist texts?

Honestly this might be the best bit to genuinely convince centrists

👏 Then 👏 read 👏 the 👏 Wiki 👏 page 👏

Because that will tell you the answer is 1. One zero. Because the number of dead civilians in the Tiananmen Square Massacre is zero. No civilian deaths there. Nada. Read the wiki page, it will tell you no deaths. This information brought to you by such Commies as:

• the US Government,
• the Washington Post correspondent (who was there all night),
• the CBS correspondent (same),
• and more!

Were there a limited number of deaths in protests elsewhere that wasn’t Tiananmen? Yep, about 2-3 hundred across a few hundred cities. And that’s bad! But is also pretty dang small relative to the protest size, and happens in all major protests in all countries everywhere.
