From what I understand, you would probably have to pay geologists extra (and I guess archaeologists) to not lick stuff they dig out of the ground.

By that standard my couch, leg, most of his stuffies, and just the empty air around him have also passed the canine version of the Turing Test.

We really are living in a cyberpunk dystopia.

She seems the exact opposite of genuine to me.

Sorry, obviously the public awareness of the people making these decisions is dangerous information.

DAMN YOU ANTHROPOMORPHIZED COMPANY RUN BY NOBODY WHO THEREFORE CAN MAKE SHITTY DECISIONS HIDING BEHIND CAPITALISM!!!

Thank your glorious mods for protecting our corporate overlords.

There are some things they can do like agreements/contracts going several years into the future, but the problem is anything they can do that on its face locks in the next admin, can be undone by the courts…which they now control at the highest level by a 6-3 majority, which at best remains only a 6-3 majority for the next 4 years and probably much much longer than that. Thomas will retire in this admin and they’ll get a new young ultra conservative in his place.

I think the best redirect would be to convince them to “self-pasteurize” their milk. You can make an entire ecosystem of grift products on the best home pasteurizers to avoid harmful toxins or whatever the current buzzword is.

This is why the “secret scientists don’t want you to know” always turns out to be some pseudoscience bs that at best is misinformation and at worst is actively harming people. So, yes, they are things scientists don’t want you to know.

What’s he gonna do, make up some sort of “Muslim ban” leading to increased racism and hate crimes against their people? It’ll be fiiiiiiine…

how do you manage?

I’m relatively conservative, so probably a blend of bonds and market tracking index funds.

The people who want this want to be that grandpa.

Quantum is when two things at the same time

So you’re telling me if I stop breathing I’ll never get older? I’m in!

The Report of the Committee Appointed by the Royal Society to Consider of the Best Method of Adjusting the Fixed Points of Thermometers; And of the Precautions Necessary to Be Used in Making Experiments with Those Instruments

Seems fancy and legit, I see no reason to actually read it and confirm the info.

I like this version better than “he had a fever when he measured 100 degrees” so I will choose to believe it without further research.

I hope you are correct.

Imagine having to make up an entire series of math lectures just to cover up your search history.
