When given a robot voice, all it learned how to do was scream endlessly.
Oh my god. I can’t get the song out of my head now! Sweet Jesus what have you done to me?!
All the Neo-Malthusian BS in this thread, holy crap. The “overpopulation is the problem” has got to be one of the best ways for governments, corpos, and the rich to deflect attention from their failures and excesses. Hands down even better than the “personal carbon footprint” propaganda.
earth has a resource distribution/use efficiency issues right now; the rich are greedy and wasteful.
don’t want to have kids? Fine, don’t! Kids deserve parents that want them, and you deserve your autonomy to live your life as more than a means to an end for demographics.

“Actually, we’ve decided rabies is not actually that deadly. Almost no one shows symptoms after a bite. It’s probably only bad for those with comorbidities. Think of the damage to the economy if we panic!” /S

I donno, anybody remember Obama? Trudeau?
Keep this guy accountable and call out the bullshit.
The last party set the bar so low it’s painted on the floor, so just saying the right things feels like significant progress regardless of if actual actions are taken.
Reform UK is waiting in the wings for the jaded masses if Labour doesn’t follow through, and the jaded masses don’t understand that voting for the wolf to punish the fox is a dumb thing for rabbits to do.
As your bard said, words pay no debts, give deeds.
How much you think Lockheed charged for that stick?
As far as I can tell? No, but I just did a search of the onimbus for some keywords. The mental image feels very Adamsish though, doesn’t it? I may have unconsciously plagiarized it from somewhere. Props to you if you can find the source. Maybe it’s a Pratchettian quote? Or Giamanic?
