Ooohhh.... bold... lol no. He brought that up a few times. Just because he doesn't say it as often as the race mix thing, doesn't mean he actually has an issue with it.

Oh god... that means that we're constantly touching a penis... there aren't enough no homos in the world to make us not gay. We are doomed...

@Bajax @a1batross
Who knows, maybe one day we discover that the entire universe is shaped like a penis.

Oh noes, the shackles of putting a piece of cloth over your mouth in crowded places! Not even the jews had to live through such horrors!

@SystemSock
I think the measure is a good compromise between completely locking the borders when a pandemic happens so that the infected don't come to your country, and not taking any measures at all to prevent the infection being carried into your country.

You still take some action so that foreign carriers don't bring shit into your country, but people are still allowed to legally travel.

@SystemSock
I don't get why this was ever even considered a conspiracy theory. In EU you had to (and probably still have to) get a test confirming you didn't have covid to be able to travel to other countries. So we already had a "covid passport". Only makes sense the concept would evolve to where you can replace the test result with a confirmation of vaccination.

Fun fact that maybe has a place in all this, the spread of dark matter in the universe looks like a neural network.

Some proofs that we are living in computer simulation:
* Particles behave like waves sometimes
* Quantum physics handler was taken from another project, that's why fundmental interaction on macro- and micro-levels is different.
* They forgot to add mass to photon and because of this it can't stop
* Every electron in the world is the reference on the same electron
* When moving on high speed, timer gets laggy
* To make galaxies rotate correctly, they were filled with invisible inert substance by 80%
* So that universe doesn't collapse because of gravity, space expands itself. This may cause issues in the future but works yet.
* Two previous paragraphs are temporary hacks but survived to the release.

1) I did say animated, so no.
2) This thing didn't even reach my years until very recently, so still no.

@histoire
With 2 simple words, I can give the feels to anyone who has watched it from start to end: dog episode.

I had to put "in the early days" stipulation, since comparing them today would be unfair. Futurama is long dead, and The Simpsons should be dead. I think in their beginnings they are more equal with each other, thus making the poll more interesting.

I think a question that needs to be asked is: will the government still be the one doing the governing? At what point do big tech have more influence on the daily lives of people, through their platform policies, than the official government? And if that point is reached and surpassed, is the government the one we should be scared of becoming tyrannical, or are the companies?

As 5 currently stands, if there are entities that are already doing the government's work, is it really necessary for the government to invest resources in their own organizations? If you're the government, why not profit from what's being done already, and only intervene when you think twitter/fb aren't being tyrannical enough? Let tech companies build the framework by themselves, as they are currently doing, and at some point in the future, if you really need to push things farther, you can just take them over.

Now whether it will be the government or corporations that will become the big tyrant in the end, I don't know. But so far they seem to be working towards the same goal, using each other at the very least, maybe even cooperating fully without us knowing.
