If you assume your body composition would allow you to move at a comparable pace then you would absolutely be more dense than the earth. Imagine if the earth were ripped from it's current path as you wind up to throw it, it should sheer to pieces like a ball of molten metal and sand.

If the place doubles as a sports venue there may be rolled up banners all over the placem

Ah, there it is. Yeah, what a mystery.

Did you not see images of it before it fell? Was it one of these? it was nearby at least.

9/11 was sort of an inside job by the architects. Built during the height of the cold war, every mega construction project would have had to address what would happen if attacked. There had been a number of massive skyscraper fires already and even much smaller buildings had no way to effectively douse the flames. Imagine a massive raging inferno towering above a dense population centre for weeks or months or who knows how long. It would have been an even worse outcome. The health and mental health effects would have been incredibly devastating. A decision had to be made. A structural, engineered weakness to very hot flames was built in to make the towers implode on themselves, snuffing out the flames.

It would have been a tough call to make. Like the trolly problem, do you engineer it to save the occupants? Or the potential health of the rest of the city?

It makes sense to me to keep quiet about it after the fact. The architects did what they had to do and some people would not agree with their decision. Therefore due to 'national security' or whatever it's best to just keep quiet. I've held on to this theory for a while but I think it's been long enough to discuss it.

Set up a security camera? Though they usually get in by eggs having been attached to corals/plants. Have you put any new plants in in the past few months?

It should stick to coding. There's models out there that put this to shame. I guess we all have hobbies though.

To clarify further for those too lazy to read. An informant is a rat, not an employee.

Are there "neutral" countries? Not in line with the pact or predatory?

I could imagine after a disaster they would be forced to eat each other to survive without all these supplements. A horrifying side-story perhaps? A town cutoff by rock slide has devolved into chaos...

Nah, it's too much like how a lobotomy works. Even taking a small chunk of your brain might have huge impacts.

Balloons or large surface area.

You wouldn't happen to sleep on your back, would you? I used to get that often until one year it got really bad when I was sleeping on a couch on my back. I moved to the bed after putting 2 and 2 together. Haven't had one since.

I loved the Nostromo's computers in Aliens. Vintage future.

Imagine how difficult it would be to hire a ferengi lawyer to sue your ferengi accountant. shudders

"CRT has recently put out a series of announcements regarding their money issues, blaming everyone but themselves for the holes in their finances. However, a Freedom of Information request shows that as of 31 May 2023, the Trust has wasted anything up to £249,680.09* on the Water Safety Zones – much of it spent on outsourced enforcement contracts with companies like District Enforcement."

Somebody with deep pockets cannot stand the poors living in "their" neighbourhood. Or an official has a connection for kickbacks from the enforcement companies. Hate to see this shit.

What you encountered was a sociopath projecting how they feel about every action they take onto you. Somehow you are the asshole for not complying with their selfishness.

They are tuned to agree with you in the first place. It would make sense that even if they can tell that the answer is wrong they will agree with you anyway. I don't know if that makes it a lie but it is deliberate in a sense. I would argue that it's like not wanting to put up a fuss rather than trying to trick you.

But I've seen weird stuff man. I think we won't even realise what we're seeing when newer iterations of this tech actually do start...being.

They're all mediums. The content on them can be anything from mindless to informative.It's all up to who's curating it. Do you leave it up to the algos and advertisers or actually provide something to your kids? Up to a certain age letting them do whatever on the internet is idiotic like letting them run around a bookshop that carries porn and mein Kampf.

He was always going to claim that. That's his position on everything. Caving to any demand will only give him cause to do it again and louder next time.
