Ideally. Unfortunately, the people doing the buybacks now are no different than 19th century industrial barons; once they have a household name due to sheer wealth, they stop pretending (if they even bothered to in the first place) that they're in any way good people.

Ah. Okay, that ruins the coolness but if that's the case I'm not going to try and bet on a dead horse.

More like "no measurement without action" and "action = modification" but I get the reference, yes.

Sadly, IIRC, measuring an entangled particle on one end changes the result on that end, despite the other end trying to be the one that changes it.

I mean, it's a Yin-Yang symbol. That's some spooky coincidence right there. That, or someone in Asia once had a very weird dream/drug trip like when DNA was discovered to be a double-helix.

It would be, except it's apparently been calculated that quantum entanglement doesn't work that way.

double-checks that I'm not in the backrooms Okay, I can see this.

I mean, that sounds like it's should be self-evident but sometimes people are stretched too thin by the nuclear family or even single parent expectations of Western society to realize they can't do it on their own. Worse, the expectation of one parent per child means if you don't have existing family, you don't have a chance at being a parent unless you give up your life.

To be fair, it seems that all too often a baby with these issues turns out to have a genetic issue like Autism which is the source of their distress rather than anything the parents can relieve.

Unfortunately, from what I've heard about American laws, you actually CAN'T delete it and have to report cached content to the police.

Not sure about my own country, but I do know that kind of content is basically radioactive in most jurisdictions worldwide.

Cowards? I don't think you realize what happens when you get caught by authoritarians.

I'm not brave but I would stand up to them, but only because I feel like I'm better off dead than living in Airstrip One.

Hey, I don't see anyone here saying those idiots who thought the War on Terror were justified.

Would it happen this way if New York was being hit over the past 6 days? Considering events like 9/11 and the aftermath of Trump give conflicting signals, I'm not sure, but if it did... I don't think the majority of people on the continent, from remote Alaska to Halifax to Mexico City, are going to see a random person complaining about how their kids missed soccer practice because of a bomber run like it's a minor inconvenience to a news reporter and not think "that rich soccer mom is a b**** and she needs to get a clue that we're at f-ing war".

And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that's not what's going on in Russia, because somehow I suspect that's what places like Kamchatka (Easternmost Siberia) is thinking about Moscow right now.

Basically, "Leaders == Citizens". Please don't judge people based on what their corrupt government does. I don't like the CCP but you don't see me saying Chinese people in general are somehow a uniform entity that is some sort of political hive mind, because that's not how people work.

Yeah, the theme is "Don't underestimate Neanderthals, they're pretty much the granddaddy of Homo sapiens". Or in short, "primitive, not unintelligent".

The OpenTTD community does sometimes. Not that it matters much.
