Exactly. I don’t know American laws, but I would submit my resignation by registered letter (I assume there are still doormen to receive those), and if they kept paying me I would put the cash in a savings account in case they ever remember to read the mail and notice they were paying me after quitting.
This reminded me immediately of The Coffee Machine short story published last year. Reality manages to be stranger and weirder than fiction.
And centralization solves this how? The other social networks are giving more checkmarks to grifters and scammers than they are giving them to honest people because, spoiler alert, con artists are very good at both building a following and paying bribes.
I was just discussing with a friend yesterday that lots of moments in the Spider-Man 2 videogame that are presented as being “New York” things, like people playing chess in a park, paint a pretty bleak picture of the rest of the US.
At least looking from this side of the Atlantic it seems that most Americans spend all of their time between home, work, consumption places, or in a car between those places. So they basically switch between being prisoners in a form of house arrest and being customers, leaving no space to be actual free people.
I just checked and it seems that unfortunately not. At least catholic Priests are only allowed to bless “true water”, which is usually understood to mean that nothing was purposely added to it (with the exception of certain salts for rituals like exorcism).

I mean, I’m not a theologist or anything, but based on other precedents, if someone was dying and wanted to be baptized at the last second, and no source of water could be arranged on time, the Gatorade baptism would probably be accepted by the Catholic church.
Transubstantiation of Gatorade into Holy Water doesn’t even sound that outrageous when priests claim to transubstantiate wine to blood on a daily basis.
And most recent content is infested with LLM bots. It’s like using ChatGPT with extra steps.
Given the current state of Reddit, I would count that as a feature.
There’s so much room for “creative” exports. Like Belarus suddenly “producing” oranges and shrimps for the Russian market when Russia forbade the importation of several food products from the EU.
By picking TOS, I’m making the point that “Vulcans Never Lie” was always intended as a lie, not something that got introduced by later Trek.
Vulcans lie all the time, even Spock explicitly lies in TOS (for example, in the “Enterprise Incident”).
But then recruitment companies can’t get you in to trouble by editing and embellishing your CV before sending it to the potential employer. /S (and yes this came up before)
It’s inevitable for ads supported social media.
They need to keep you “engaged” to show you more ads, and the most effective way to do it is to foster conflict.
Sounds like starfleet chief of engineering material to me.
You underestimate how much interface and algorithms impact how people interact with eachother.
So SNW is Enterprise but actual Star Trek and not “Bush’s America in Space - now with 100% more war crimes”?
*below mediocre manager.
Even the average HR person can see a large scale roasting in a work environment would be a disaster.
