Ok, so not really bright, but visible. I smell the plot to a bank heist movie.

And blinded by security cameras?

Seriously, wouldn’t being able to see infrared basically make you see night vision cameras like they are street lights?

I would argue it was time for the entire world to do this unanimously, the moment the first hospital was hit.

Apparently wiping out a civilization is ok if the right “interests” are in play.

The idea of autonomous super robot people doing all the hard work for us sounds great, until you remember that it will all be built on foundations of profit.

It doesn’t really matter how brilliant the engineers are if the corporate manager is forcefully cutting corners.

Who do you think gets the blame when things go wrong though?

Strategy.

No, your half-baked, half-plan you stole from an intern, is not only not good, the last guy tried it and we are still trying to fix that mess.

I’m not sure if it really counts as a buzzword though.

I think you are confusing Nazism with genuine concern. Careful with that. Hating people for opposing views is more dangerously close to what you so easily accuse me of, and your tiny tough guy attempt to mask your own bigotry just highlights that you may need to reflect a little.

To my previous point, not somehow mitigating the easily duped portion of our formerly democratic systems is a big part of what’s driving the Nazi ideals back into popularity. As long as untamed propaganda is allowed into the thoughts of the weak minded, the rest of us face an uphill battle.

If you read my previous statement about this again. You’ll notice that I didn’t say anyone should be controlled. Whether we bring facts back into law and punish those who spread lies, or bolster education to teach people how to spot the lies, it doesn’t really matter. But splitting hairs over how I said it won’t change that it is a problem.

Trying to deflect, blame or sidestep that is playing right into the MAGA/Nazi mindset. Division of the people and spooky non-issues to rally fear in the populace is what gives them control.

It’s the right idea, but too narrow of a demographic. It’s not the old people that seem to be the problem. At least not only them. It’s the uneducated or intellect impaired that should be reined in. The ones that are just smart enough to use Facebook, but would struggle to understand the concept of the Dunning–Kruger effect

The amount of younger people that are sucked in hook, line, sinker, rod, boat, trailer and truck is staggering.

It’s like they decided that reality didn’t work for them, so let’s just ignore it in favour of “insert discriminatory slogan or catchphrase here”.

It’s bonkers.

Yes.

Well, at least this makes all the rest of the crap going down these days seem a little less scary.

Prions be proper nasty.

I’m not sure I have an explanation why, but getting paid for my blood makes it seem dirtier somehow lol

I think you might be right. I have only ever given whole blood, so I can’t confirm 100% on the paid plasma either.

What places pay you for it? I’ve only ever been given snacks and juice afterwards in Canada.
