It was a particular issue when we were getting fresh bake from the local Nugget. It didn't have preservatives so it was stale after a day or so. At the time we got small quantities and enjoyed it for the day or two after shopping. But we also have other bread used as a stable, say, for sandwiches or morning toast.
Now we live away from Nugget, but still occasionally get fancy bread.
Hack John Deere. And hoist the Jolly Roger when you get it working again!
Sure. Which is why autocrats turn to fascism (that is a mythical history of an in-group and out-groups) to redirect that outrage against other races, other ethnicities, other religions, women, LGBT+, countercultures, teenagers, immigrants, etc. And it works because the naked ape is already frustrated with society being too big (hundreds of thousands rather than dozens), and is always looking for common traits among bad drivers and untidy neighbors.
And it works every time, since it takes effort to be rational and practice tolerance. Mostly the lumpenproletariat (simple folks who are not politically savvy) are the driving force behind hate campaigns, but the rest of us start wondering if so many people are negging on the Jews, maybe there's a point. And rumors like blood libel and groomers helps those feelings along. 24-hour propaganda on FOX News and OAN helps too.
It's similar to 10 year olds being allowed on Facebook, only there's money and sexual activity involved.
This reminds me of Russia after the Soviet Union fell, in which nine and ten year olds were offering sexual services for lunch money, because they literally had no other means to eat.
In the States today, those jobs that were once a place for teens to get work experience and spending money are now occupied by people paying rent. Competition for fast food cashiers and grocery baggers is fierce.
And yeah, teens who are very pretty find they control their own means of production when it comes to telecommunications sex, so it's natural they too would want to bypass regulations to get some of that sweet, sweet lucre that defines your power and privilege in this society.
She's got a ticket to ride, and she don't care.
I bet petty crime is the least of EU's problems.
I bet EU has the same level of problems US does with elite deviance, the white-collar guys who want all the marbles, and will start wars, hook eveyone on toxic drugs and wreck the habitat just to own it all and swim in their vault like Scrooge McDuck.
I don't see how this is enforceable.
Large AI providers will also have high caliber legal teams to fight any incident and demonstrate it it wasn't the AI's fault, but the stupid people who gave it control.
Smaller projects won't have the same warchests, and eventually they'll become the target.
In the meantime, yeah, Zuckerberg and all the other flank-speed-ahead investors will not be slowed in making the AI that will smooth talk our billionaires into a failed trip to mars.
No one wants to tell the government they're watching porn, especially in a Catholic country like Spain.
It's intended to reduce porn use, often to fuel conservative hate-driven ideology movements. Sexually frustrated people are more eager to endorse violence against marginalized groups.
It's pure sociological manipulation.
This brings me hope Ubi might rot from within and collapse. And some nice Lemming will buy all their IP for a song and release it with a copyleft license.
This. We used to waste time repairing the mechanical things when we could have been planting, or wasting time dealing with plant blights and livestock woes when we could have been hunting for wild game.
You know it is curious that the common folk bear the tax burden while getting no representation and thr ownership class gets allnthe representation but evades taxes.
This echoes something I learned in history way back when we were occupied and had to contend with monarchs. Funny Numbers Or Fight!, Better Dead Than Red! Fuck Off With Your Stompy Jackboots! and such.
Yeah the art community hated desktop publishing too. People who spent decades working with moveable type were made obsolete.
The problem is not that creativity is easier, the problem is our industrialist masters are all too eager to replace us from the artist to the driver to the lawyer to the task laborer to the engineer.
This isn't a new problem. The reason Disney only does CGI and live action movies now is because the cell animators unionized.
It's not the technology. It's the system that lets you die but for the grace of profit-minded industrialists.
With the US on the brink of autocratic rule, it's really time to take seriously the notion of communist revolution.

Not OC.
If I'm the one responsible for posting Pride memes for June, then every day will be moldy Monday.
Oglaf from a couple Sundays ago. ( source ). Less about the issue of theism so much as theocratic rule, but applicable to past and present.
I think a couple years later, they posted one that included us. As a fellow GenX noted, this kind of erasure is totally on brand for us.
All you have to do is follow the worms
I can only speak about my cat, for whom the solution has been mostly to make sure he has sufficient fresh scratching cardboard.
Trimming claws helps but he doesn't like it. I get a partner to distract him, but mostly he keeps his claws in good, if sharp, order.
If the scratch pads are too dusty or too used, he'll start favoring the sofa, but sometimes he'll do that for sake of mischief, getting away with something. He seems to like to test that we're paying attention.
