That pile still isn’t big enough to actually represent the real world disparity.

Or, you know, that 8 years is longer than 6 years.

They generally don’t though because the burden to indict is SIGNFICANTLY lower than the burden to convict. Anyone that you cannot even get an indictment for isn’t likely to be convicted at trial.

The problem is that this product already exists and it doesn’t work.

Get ready to pay for endless slop on Disney+

So we’ve gone from “most” to “many” to “it doesn’t actually matter how many”.

Still need me to explain why your vibes reporting on this isn’t very compelling?

Yes, of course your feelings are the most valid kind of data that exists. Good point.

You go from “a lot” to “most” as if they mean the same thing. They don’t.

Honestly this feels like a product that Chat GPT probably came up with in the first place.

Edit:

So I asked Chat GPT “Whats a product that doesn’t exist yet that would make me rich if I sold it?”

This is number 2:

“Digital Memory Prosthetic” – A Wearable That Records Everything You Hear and Summarizes Your Day
What it solves:
People forget names, conversations, tasks, and ideas.

Capabilities:
Auto-transcribes your day (meetings, errands, conversations you permit).
Summarizes the day into a personalized journal.
Finds moments later (“When did I promise to follow up with Sarah?”).

Why it’s huge:
If it’s private, secure, and optional, it becomes the next evolution of personal productivity—basically “external memory.”

They actually claim to have already stopped this war (this is one of the “wars that Trump stopped”).

Look. I have had enough of the senseless random gun violence being directed against these fascists.

PLEASE join your local SRA or John Brown Gun club and get some training so that you can be thoughtful and precise in your response to fascism.

Not only that but also somehow failed to find a full sized pistol and silencer while searching the bag for explosives, which is pretty alarming.

They went with their instincts and tried to frame a guy who just happened to actually be guilty, and it backfired on them.

But who is paying a million a year for this? The only conceivable benefit is that it just kills Americans. So who profits from that?

This is one of the more puzzling Trump/MAGA positions because I can’t see that it even makes anyone money.

And if they don’t then they REALLY need to change that ASAP because there is no reason why a unified Europe should not be able to stand against a version of Russia that is struggling to invade Ukraine.

Yes, lots of them. Most adult men have no interest in sex with children regardless of the presence of consequences.

I guess that might work for military leaders that are planning to evaporate in the years when this administration is out of office. For others that intend to continue existing outside of a prison cell, it doesn’t seem like it’s going to be a big incentive.

Its not though. They have had robots that can mirror humans for more than a decade. They don’t use them for hazardous work for one REALLY simple reason:

They are worth more than humans.

Seriously. Anything that is so dangerous that it is prohibitively expensive to safely do with humans just gets exported to the third world where humans aren’t worth anything. Why use million dollar robots when you can can just use brown guys in sandals for a nickel an hour instead?

Take auto battery recycling. That is a dangerous job that requires a lot of PPE and a ton of environmental mitigation efforts for the factory doing it. You have tons of vent hoods and lots of training and tons of inspections and oversight. Of course, that is only if you want to recycle batteries in a country that has workers rights, which is why no one recycles batteries in those countries. Instead, those batteries all get shipped to Africa where dudes break them apart with hammers in a field and cook out the metals in open pits and dump the acid into their water supply. Sure, those dudes are going to be dead in a 3 years, but who cares? Battery companies make a ton by getting the cheap recycled materials back and selling new “recycled” batteries.

First thing I noticed. This is like standing next to a manufacturing robot, except without the black and yellow safety square that tells you how far its reach is.
