Portland airport parking garage has these lights at each spot, along with a digital sign at the start of each level telling you the number of open standard spots and handicap spots on that level

Here’s a picture

You really need to check your ego. You keep thinking that I’m avoiding some discussion or debate with you or something. But you’re not even reading what I’m saying. I don’t care about your disingenuous question.

THE SECOND you put “so do nothing?” you weren’t interested in my thought. You just want to judge. That’s it. You want to be right and argue why you’re right. So I didn’t respond to your “so do nothing?” Because it isn’t genuine. I tried to explain that to you, but you still think I’m just avoiding “the question”.

What I mean is if you want to discuss with someone, don’t take a cynical comment and immediately apply nihilism if your intent is to learn and discuss. My intent wasn’t to learn and discuss. Neither was yours. Because you demand a response doesn’t mean you are entitled to anything. And if someone doesn’t want to stumble along your thinking path doesn’t mean they’re avoiding your judgemental question. It may, however, mean they’ve dismissed your question

But you jumped from “protests haven’t been effective” to “so don’t do anything?”

Reply to the “so don’t do anything?” jump straight to nihilism in response to suggestion that one route hasn’t been successful lately in the near military state? Like we’ve never heard of Occupy Wall Street, million women march, Antifa?

No I didn’t take it as a serious enough question. It was a judgement question, not a curiosity one. A curious question would have been “if you don’t think that works, what could be done instead?”

“But ok.”

I’ll get back to you after the next election

Dude I’m in Portland. That’s all we do

Yep. Petition gets large enough for media attention, word is spread, MAYBE people get active.

But Then police beat on them, Trump supporters defend the corporate interests of their supreme lord, it all goes down the shitter anyway.

I don’t know what happened there. My brain did a thing with that word I guess? Sorry

I always liked in Momento he picked up the phone and immediately asked, “Who is this?”

open mouth chewing on potato chips “Yeah?”

The article says, “Arbaugh said that Neuralink has told him around 15% of the threads inserted in his brain remain in place.” Then says that they did software updates to strengthen the remainder.

Neuralink themselves used the word “detached” “retracted” in their blog.

edit: The blog does not say detached

Neuralink blog itself said they detached.

Neuralink boosted the ones that were still attached with the software update.

“I see”

“No, not icy either”

“That’s not what I said”

“Ice head? Now you’re just talking gibberish”

“Stalking who now?”

You triggered my nostalgia you bastard.

Unfun fact, that was nearly twenty years ago. Someone born the day you watched that could now be the proud driver owner of a cyber truck.

God this server is stupid as fuck

But the article is about Columbia University. A private institution. It is not a public university

Columbia University is not public space

So ACAB, and we are a country with stupidly low quality of freedom despite the morons who just think guns=freedom, and fuck this was a BS move.

However, the Constitution states only that the government will not pass laws that interfere with freedom of assembly. Courts have decided that this includes protests, picketing, labor strikes, etc.

Courts have also concluded that this doesn’t mean you can assemble wherever you want, namely on private property. These students were essentially just trespassed by the university. Can’t really blame the policeor government for this one, unless you want to lean more extreme that they should be saying “fuck off, we disagree”. But I’d rather have a system where the police follow the law because I don’t trust any of them to make any good decisions on their own morals.

The chief even came out with a statement that was a dig at the university president that he only observed peaceful protest, not the bullshit she was claiming.

Haha yes we are comparing these things! Only due to semantics are they apples to oranges. We lazily call the ovum “egg”, but also the shelled “reproductive body” laid by birds, reptiles, etc. The same word with two listed definitions in the dictionary.

You look at the human’s plate and your mind conjures the word egg (definition 1), and so on the second plate you believe there should also be an egg (definition 2)

I look at the plate and see the various necessities for reproduction, which exist in both humans and chickens. The ovum IS on the human’s plate already, but so is all the other stuff!

If it’s “chicken period” vs “human period”, then the other plate should also contain various other period stuff, too, if that’s what you like.

Also isn’t it odd the shelled object is an “egg” no matter if fertilized or how long the fetus has gestated?
