Bought as a costume? It’s a plot hole, you’re right.

Spotube, Harmony, Vibe Music, all on Github, all for Android.

The acting and the FX might be dated, but the series and the topics are not, the old series still has its value and it’s worth a (re) watch.

It wasn’t the greatest thing ever, but it was a gateway to a reboot, it was a nicely done nostalgia-fest and it did a lot of stuff right. Was the animation a bit cheap? Yes. Was the story a bit thin? Yes. Would I still watch it and buy the blue ray? Of course!

And it’s still way better than a lot of stuff movie studios wanted to stuff down my throat in the past years.

I just watched it… twice. I loved it!

Keep them coming they’re welcome here.

Good bot!

Look at OpenDrive.com. their interface might be dusty but I’ve been with them for 10 years with no issues.

Wow there’s so much wrong with this:

The concept of a digital data processing machine was made by Charles Babbage, a mathematician from England.

The first phone was constructed by Italian engineer and inventor Antonio Meucci, Bell just got the patent for something that was being “invented” in several forms in previous years.

Karl Benz from Germany invented the automobile but it was already Leonardo Da Vinci who conceived the idea of mechanical vehicles. The French Nicolas Cugnot built the first steam propelled tractor/car in 1769.

The moon might be yours but only because the USA confiscated all the German knowledge about rockets and took the engineers like Wernher von Braun

If the US eliminated starvation is something I can’t deny nor confirm but you certainly invented the largest drug abuse crisis (opioids and derivatives) in the history of mankind. Oh and mass imprisonment is also an achievement that probably challenges China or North Korea.

Not sure about the progress aspect there, I have doubts. But one thing I know for sure: The US needs better education, it’s horrible how wrong you were.

That hasn’t worked for North America, it’s not working in the EU and if I look at South America… no I won’t.

So what’s the alternative then? Representative democracies devolve into shit shows given sufficient amount of time. Dictatorships are horrible, council-led states (Sowjet) don’t work either… So what’s left?

Anarchy doesn’t work either…

I intentionally wrote: representative democracies. I’m not aware of any ongoing implementation of complete direct democracy, not even in Switzerland so I can’t tell for those.

Nowadays you can cause riots by saying: Humans come in XY and XX chromosomes by genetic program, the correct expression of this genetic program leads to male or female genitalia and there’s currently no medical or surgical procedure to change that, no matter how much you insist. So that was one notch less controversial.

Representative Democracies have failed (are failing) like all other political ruling systems have failed so far. Some failed just faster than others that failed more catastrophically while some fail silently (agonizing). In the end all systems failed.

Weak attempt to derail.

Millions of bots programmed by meta employees?

Realistically it seems to be (not my opinion but my observation):

• Shoes and clothes made in Bangladesh
• Car parts (filters, hoses, tin parts) made in India
• Foxconn China
• Rare earth mining
• Servants and immigrant workers in Qatar and Dubai.

Just to name a few examples of slave labour required to run the world “as is.”

Hmmm that’s an interesting topic, thanks for bringing this upz it’s something I never thought about.

So without thinking this through just eyeballing it here’s my take;

Prisons are expensive and the inmate needs to still make up for his crimes. Also being imprisoned without any kind of productive activity could have negative impact on mind and body.

Now there need to be sone rules:

• Additional qualification or study that are beneficial for the resocialisation and could lead to higher future income or better chance of getting a job should have priority.
• Pay should be fair and reasonable, the pay should be split in a fair way is the inmate needs to pay for his crimes (restitution etc). There must be a minimum remainder for the inmate so they have money available while imprisoned and the rest should be made available when they are released.
• Working conditions, breaks, OSHA etc needs to be on par with the standards outside of prison.

Now is enforcing labour still considered slavery? Could be but at least in Europe you lose some (not all) human rights when you’ve been sentenced to prison so it’s acceptable.

Now one disclaimer: This is with only theoretical knowledge about prisons on western Europe. The US prison system is something else all together.
