That’s a bingo…

Honestly it sounds like you might like some of the aspects of EVE Online

But depending on cost, in my hopeful optimistic universe, that could mean bringing back replaceable batteries.

If/when this happens it will just lead to a rise in aftermarket products to disable the feature.

Hell, since they will probably use AI to parse the audio you can probably use it to fuck with your friends. Like when people would put out hyper-specific FB ads but via cars.

If they don’t call it Chick-fa-licks I’ll be disappointed. I mean as a whole I find the company upsetting already, but I will add disappointment to that.

This also reminds me that I’m still annoyed my phone options are more or less limited Android and iPhone.

I’m not even at the point of processing if this is satire or not. Is the context that killing a process is offensive? I mean I get ‘sacrifice child’, but ‘kill process’?

I’m not aware of anything. Why are you looking, maybe there is something similar out there.

I mean a group of people can talk about a common belief and explore some of the concepts further.
