High schoolers ride busses too. They're a little bigger than 40lb twerps at that point.

What would you prefer? That some people drive slightly over the speed limit? Or a spot where people suddenly slam on the brakes to avoid getting a ticket, endangering those who might be behind them with their sudden change of speed?

Because the latter is what these devices tend to do.

It doesn't have a 1% chance, it has essentially a 0% chance. The IRS has NEVER gone after an established church, and they never will because of the massive can of worms it would open. While astronomically speaking, nothing is impossible, there comes a point where something is so improbable that attempting it is wasted effort. In this instance, it distracts from people coming up with actual solutions because they're led to believe that the false solution is worth pursuing.

How many ways do I have to say it? I don't need to know or provide an alternative to be able to recognize the current suggestion as bad. How tf are you not grasping this?

Let me try ANOTHER metaphor. Let's say someone asked us both what the square root of 294,797 was without using a calculator. I say "I don't know" and you say "I think it's 4". I don't have to know the correct answer to know that your answer is wrong. And it doesn't magically become worth considering just because it's the only answer that was given. It's still wrong.

Ok cool, you better not fucking vote then or you're a hypocrite.

Still there, but that's more of a failing with education costs than a problem brought about by reliance on last-minute, stress-motivated, ADHD superpowers.

Copious amounts of ethnicities also break the immersion for me. I'm 100% for modern inclusion, but if you're showing 17th century England and every other character is black or Asian, you pretty much have to be willfully ignoring history. That's not even getting into how others interact with the character, just the fact that those ethnicities would be rare in those times and locations.

Great actually. I got a good paying job doing what I like that doesn't involve me needing to motivate myself to continue working after I get home, or stress out about being prepared for an arbitrary test of my abilities.

isn't sustainable

The degree on my wall says otherwise.

Maybe we could stop them from lobbying so hard against alternatives to try and kill the development or adoption of them? Maybe we could stop them from bribing lawmakers to support subsidies for themselves while denying subsidies for alternatives?

Or wait, here's a good one, maybe we could stop them from spending billions of dollars on ad campaigns and BS propaganda that downplays their contribution while pushing a message that the real problem is all those awful individuals like us who are really the ones who should be sacrificing rather than the poor, misunderstood, multi-billion dollar international conglomerates?
