It outright says:
“13% of non-winners switch to favour the right-wing. By contrast, nearly 18% of the winners who get more than 500 pounds switch to the right-wing party”
That is a description of induviduals, 18% of people become more right wing, not 100% of people become 18% more right wing.
So I read the study, first of all the paper aknowledges that there’s a several point swing in voting preference between non winners and people who won less than £500 which strongly implies people who play the lottery are more likely to vote right wing to begin with. Secondly even for large wins the swing was only around 18%. At worst money does not make everyone a bad person, more like 1/5 people.
Or those were previously just assholes without money? Nice people who win the lottery likely don’t stay rich for long because they use that money to help people they know.
Does money reduce empathy or is lack of empathy just a serious advantage in acumulating money?
modern sociological research or… basic common senses? It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that if you start with 10x as much money as everyone else in a game of monopoly you’re almost certainly going to win that game.
To be fair america could, rare earths aren’t actually that rare. The main thing is that mining them is the environmental equivelent of pouring fuel everywhere and setting the place on fire. That stops most countries which is why China has the market so cornered but with how the US feels about the concept of breathable air these days they could totally secure a domestic supply.
For americas enemies: Don’t interupt your enemy in the process of making a mistake.
For americas allies: Don’t poke a wounded bear.
Realistically the americans lost in those wars because the presidents at the time actually wanted some kind of spiritual victory rather than just flattening those countries into dust with sustained carpet bombing of any and all artificial structures (At least not the whole country) I doubt Trump would have any issues or even understanding of the consiquences of going full nuclear. The US likely wouldn’t surive the retaliation but neither would anyone else… except New Zealand because everyone forgets them so hard they even get left off maps.
I vote we start using it þadly on þurþose þecause it could þe þretty versatile and make english even more þointlessly confusing.
Gotta love being in the ‘The president from idiocracy is more qualified than many world leaders’ timeline.
To my undertstanding it invokes a particular steriotype of a bunch of white people living trashily in a trailer park, usually while thinking they’re better than everyone else.
Given the answers we know they want this should be a pretty profitable business.

Done, and my entire company infastructure is a raspberry pi.
There are sites that will literally just connect you to random cameras all over the world that are hooked up to the internet with no security except obscurity and hope. Wouldn’t be surprised if these drones start showing up on them.
Idk fired is still too much culpability, how about ‘Struck by bullets in incident involving police drone’
To be fair there is one personal trait that’s really important to wealth and success, the willingness to walk over the bodies of your peers.
Good, no more pulling punches.
Pretty sure even that wouldn’t work? Once inside all directions become further in, or all futures become further in, or some bullshit like that.
And cybernetics that won’t play adds in your brain until you have a seizure!. Seriously settings like cyberpunk and shadowrun are starting to look good by the standards of what we’re heading for. (Shadowrun is also old enough that you could actually just barely survive on a part time job without sharing an appartment even in the dystopia)
For $1000 you could get a small furnace for cintering, a regular 3D printer and some of that special PLA that has metal powder in it that you can print and then cinter into a solid metal piece (The PLA bakes off) and just make the fucking thing yourself.
At this point that picture should be multiple layers of precariously stacked tiny pillars making up the entire base.
