This is wrong.

Oil supply is restricted.
Oil is expensive and dirty.
Wars are fought to control oil.

Sunlight is limitless.
Sunlight is free and clean.
No wars are fought over sunlight.

Let’s go solar!

Robocop is impossible.

The demons behind the biggest companies and governments don't want to give too much power to one side (police) or the other (criminals), because they're funded by both sides.

One of my friends, Sharif, had very strong feelings about the bar. He don't like it.

What exactly does crunch entail? What are some of the history or baggage tied to this term? And how do rules and mechanics define the rich, fictional worlds that their games are based on?

I was sitting in a fast food place the other day and it rapidly dawned on me that, No, Usher's "Good Good" wasn't just a particularly long song, but that they had it on loop. I was only eating for about twenty minutes and I was already primed to murder swathes of people, starting with Usher himself.

In Canada, we believe that everyone should have a chance to get ahead. Education is key to that promise.

So for the next year, we’re extending the increase to federal student grants and loan limits.

I'm on very borrowed time now before I lose my home. Does anyone know of any publications or places who would be interested in showing my photography to a wider audience and potentially getting me in front of the right people? I've already had features on BBC & some uk Photography mags

The thing about AI enthusiasts in the arts is that they think they're unique for having *ideas*, that their ideas are what make them artists. They don't understand that EVERYONE has ideas. Having ideas isn't special. It's not a skill. It's just part of having a human brain.
