A smart name would be Einsteinium.

Trained from early childhood with those candy necklaces that shrinkflation has reduced to bracelets.

It's a skill that opens doors... Or maybe not 🤷

I had no idea it was that easy to ensure your citizens will never get married!

"Listen to your body" No, that's how you get fat. Your body wants to build up fat! That's how we survived famines. Famines that don't happen anymore.

Listen to your doctor instead 👍

Was it the future of Windows when they did this the last bunch of times? The Wyse Winterm came out in 1993. It was a huge failure then and every iteration of the same same thing since has also failed.

What makes this version different? Branding? The fact that some of the OS/software doesn't boot over the network? That you have to have a working Internet connection and not just a working local network and boot server (LOL)?

No business wants this. No consumer wants this. There is no "added value" in this device. It literally only runs software made by Microsoft and even then, only software that runs through Azure.

What office worker literally only needs Office 365? I mean, you can get away with a whole lot just in the browser but if you're going to do that why bother with this device? Just use ChromeOS stuff (and never be locked in to Microsoft's stuff).

Why would crickets end such an event? They're just crickets... They're only annoying late at night when you're trying to sleep and there's one in the house you can't find. They're not even that unsanitary.

It sounds like a lame D&D cantrip or something... "Nobody cares, Leena! I cast crickets!"

Then again, the event itself was vastly more lame and deserves crickets... And a pack of hungry anoles released at the same time 👍

This is nothing more than a measure to protect the Florida cattle industry which is second only to Texas. It has nothing to do with safety or anything remotely based in reality.

We are currently living in an age of literacy. More people (as a percentage of the population) are literate than at any point in human history. Even if people get dumber over time I don't think overall literacy will change much.

In Idiocracy it seemed like most people could still read but only extremely simplified language. What I expect will happen instead--if we do indeed get dumber--is people will just become more easily manipulated. Basically, there will be a lot more suckers as a percentage of the population.

This means that as long as a political party or ideology is willing to adapt to current trends (e.g. accepting gay marriage or at least pretending to) it would become easier and easier to sucker people into voting for their candidates regardless of their actual plans or historical (voting) records. Basically, populism will take over but the specific kind where the candidates just say whatever TF gets people to vote for them and then they go do the exact opposite because the (dumb) voting base that elects them doesn't really pay any attention to their actions, only what the candidate says.

When a voting base becomes made up of extremely dumb suckers we're likely to see "populist" candidates that don't actually give a damn about what they say as long as they get elected and if they do get elected they'll go on a "government shopping spree" enriching themselves and their allies and doing things like appointing their family members to positions of power. The suckers will praise them for actions like this not because they like the results of these policies but because it's easy for them to understand that it hurts the people they've been suckered into hating the most.

show them quickly that you won't do shit for them so that they hang up on you.

I do believe this is the reason why AI is so much faster than humans at this guy's company.

It must be amazing if it's taken you all the way down to 9%!

With your phone's last dying breath an inescapable urge came over you to say something nice about wefwef. Then you stood up and finally flushed the toilet.
