Frosted Flake posted:Hmm let me look up empires whose internal transportation began to fail and become more chaotic and unreliable, so I can see how that was no biggie and they lasted forever... tbf expanding the railroads wasn’t exactly stabilizing in most places either. also expanding globalization by the containership trade hasn’t been stabilizing. any change in transportation changes the rate of profit.

Teens never change.quote:While Logan’s parents appreciated her metamorphosis, particularly that she was regularly coming home for dinner to recount her wanderings, they grew distressed that they couldn’t check in on their daughter on a Friday night. And after she conveniently lost the smartphone they had asked her to take to Paris for a summer abroad program, they were distraught. Eventually, they insisted that she at least start carrying a flip phone.

This really sucks. It's worse than season 20 of The Simpsons. If the studios win, there'll be more AI-produced shows like this because it's dirt cheap to produce. Shows the importance of the SAG strike.

FistEnergy posted:I work for a major American power company and lead/asbestos cables are everywhere. Unless the AT&T-owned lead cables were systematically installed via flagrant regulatory violations, it's a non-story. Any replacement program will be slow, government-financed, and charged to the customers. The whole 30 year low thing is pretty misleading. Their sticks have been on a slump for a while a s the dropoff after the wsj article wasn't that much

It makes a lot of sense to run a gigantic rent collecting entity like this, they're just sucking rents out of infrastructure and passing them directly to their owners.

American media culture is already in the gutter.

Much like atheist clubs and straight edge clubs I continue to be baffled by people joining clubs because of the absence of something. I'm going to go join the don't hit myself in the balls with a hammer club and my friends and I will all sit around and not hit our balls with hammers.

On the other hand it's probably cool to be featured in the nyt for having an old school phone and being in a club. I can't really blame the youth in this situation. Let's not get too jealous here, where is your article? I thought so. Half credit for this answer

You can only even pretend to get away with stuff like this with existing IPs and characters that let people subconsciously fill in the blanks, which makes it even worse.
