No, it was government mandates that played hell with peoples' social lives.

Re:To Protect and Swerve: NYPD Cop Has 547 Speeding Tickets on Thursday April 23, 2026 @01:33PM (#47878690)
…yes? My point is if someone can break the law 547 times and no one is affected then the law is stupid.
Re:To Protect and Swerve: NYPD Cop Has 547 Speeding Tickets on Thursday April 23, 2026 @11:33AM (#47876989)
Has he ever hit something or someone? If the answer is no, then speeding laws are too strict and must change.

The Irishman taught me how to put vodka into a watermelon.

Why not just eat the orange. I can't be the only one who finds eating the pulp alone icky. Like chewing on a damp rag.

I thought venues paid artists.
The goal is that if you’re poor you can’t own a car.
Re:Smoking ban for people born after 2008 in the UK agreed on Tuesday April 21, 2026 @04:58PM (#47854430)
Given the population pyramid, it would be impossible for them to change the law until they are well into old age.

It’s awesome to decide what your children, once they are adults, can’t do? Seems borderline psychopathic. Kinda sums up democracy in current times though.
I can see how this happened: the employee was home, his kid wanted to play some roblox, he installed roblox and gave the kid the laptop, the kid decided to install the cheat.

Good proof that we live in a gynocracy.

Welcome to democracy and lawmaking in 2026. We know better than you!

In the meantime, my daily driver here in reality land: https://i.imgur.com/8yEEJVb.png
Damn, recently I had a phone with a battery that wasn’t properly glued and it would turn off when shaken. I hope this doesn’t become the norm from now on.

Thankfully the CRUD app that is being developed by some random startup is not likely to cause as much harm as the THERAC.

It's very easy to know when code is wrong: it doesn't work the way it's expected to. So you explain to the AI what's wrong and the AI fixes it.
It’s a democracy when people vote for what I want.
Yes, in his texts Cleisthenes was pretty clear that AI cameras weren't acceptable in a democracy.

The dhcp server is in the router, just like you need a router for slaac.

So, like ipv4, but you lose the protection and privacy afforded by the NAT?

Now compare average income to see how much this matters.

Because the next one won’t bend the knee to Israel.
It looks like they are proud of their country and want to keep it as is. They’ve seen what limitless immigration did to other countries and want none of it. Respect to them.
