In order to go back to having two decent parties at this point, I think the Republican party needs to die.

So it really would be good if any remaining Republicans that follow the principle of 'even evil has standards' would openly join the Democrats. Then a couple elections go by as most remaining Republican offices are taken by Democrats, then the Democratic party splits.

Not the best possible outcome, but probably top ten as far as potentially realistic ones goes.

No, but they should be public to everyone, and not hidden unless you jump through hoops.

Lex Luthor is actually a super genius. And he can actually improve the world tremendously, such as in Red Son.

That said, Jean-Baptiste Emmanuel Zorg was still a more positive and likeable character than Elon Musk.

"AI", especially art. I've spent years trying to learn to draw on and off and have never gotten good at it, but now I can use words to create illustrations I want in a level of quality and detail I could never dream of.

Now I just want the interface to be easier and more able to understand natural language and be capable of making directed changes better.

Yeah, would be better if more people put in an accurate title instead of regurgitating the clickbait headline.

Does this make sense in some version of Spanish? Like, one of those words has a slang meaning I'm not familiar with? Cause I do not understand 'your theory is missing a street.'

Seriously? From the story, anon did everything right.

Saw potential interest, acted on it in a nonthreatening way, when no positive response came, took it as a rejection and did not harass or continue pursuing.

The irony being that the person who rates themselves as unethical is actually likely to be one of the most ethical people answering; someone truly unethical would've lied about it in the first place, or failed to even notice or acknowledge their unethicalness.

None of this makes sense, but you can at least follow the nonsensical chain of events if you know the full story.

Two things could remove much of the expense and increase safety:

1- remove lawsuits and NIMBYism to overcome. That's where a lot of the cost and delay comes from when building these, so if millions didn't have to be spent on lawsuits just to get the goahead to begin construction it'd cut the cost massively.

2- remove profit from the equation. Without profit motive, the incentives that encourage discarding safety in favor of profit go way down.

So at least temporarily and with military and other Federal government functions, the President should simply order them to continue with the necessary cleanup.

Longer term, only apparent solution is to pass laws to explicitly give the federal agencies all the authority to regulate such things.
