Laws? How quaint.

The irony of John Lennon being shot and this post being up/downnvoted 2-2 is not lost on me.

Never. But they can still be broke and/or insolvent.

In battleshits, it’s so you can keep your hands on the wheel and voice control the AI assisted turret cannon.

You: “Weapons, lock on to that red honda civic that just cut us off.”

AI: “Please confirm license ABC123”

You: “Confirmed”

AI: “Target Confirmed. Please select ammunition - Wet and Sloppy, High Density Penetrator, or Burnt and Crispy”

You: “Recommendations?”

AI: “The Civic’s front passenger window is open. Wet or burnt seem appropriate, however at this rate of speed wet and sloppy has a low probability of penetrating the cabin due to wind shear stress. Recommendation: burnt and cripsy.”

You “Confirm burnt.”

AI: "Firing Solution not yet possible. Please close the gap and avoid intermediate collateral objects.

You: *Drives with passion and skill closing the gap. “Weapons! Where’s my firing solution?”.

AI: “Target lock in 3…2…1…Lock” *Tone signals the duration of lock.

You: “Fire!”

AI: “Direct hit Sir! The burnt and crispy entered through the open passenger window and shattered on the front winshield. As a frangible ammunition the entire round was contained by the passenger cabin.”

You: “Enemy damage assessment?”

AI: “Unconfirmed estimates indicate the driver and all passengers are covered in fine particles of crispy burnt shit. The smell is likely unbearable resulting in the rapid deceleration you just observed. Total damage costs - 2 lost lunches, 2 loads of laundry and a level 5 car detailing required with a 5% chance of never getting the smell out due to ultra fine particles entering the ventilation system.”

You: “Excellent. People like this rarely learn their lessons the first time. Prepare to turn about and make a low speed anti-personel pass to pick off any stragglers. Ammunition - Wet and Sloppy. Fire on my mark.”

The vice president, who is was Catholic, discovers excommunication.

You can’t solve scalping when its a core function of LiveNation’s ecosystem. Scalping is the business model.

Two moving toilets stalls/cars. We agree, you just didn’t know it at first. ;)

That’s why its such a good joke! ;)

Even the stupidest novelties sometimes have the seeds of brilliance.

What starts with in-vehicle toilet may very well lead to the hottest high profit margin and must have accessory: Take a fresh in-car shit, then launch it at the driver who just wronged you.

"Keep your road rage off the streets and in the seats! "

The engineers dubbed it “Project Battleshits” but most of us doubt that will pass through marketing.

Hello?

Just call me maybe?

You can call me Shirley. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

True. True. But to be fair, the old one wasn’t fit for purpose either. Lovely science, but still couldn’t do anything about it.

I sympathise, but the cliché is not strictly true. Nature is all about diversity. Just like humans have a certain ratio of “bad apples” born where someone is hard wired wrong, so do dogs, and likely all animals.

Psychopathology is real. It would be a mistake to deny Nature it’s agency. There are people who belong in an institution. Dogs perhaps moreso.

To your point, yes most problems are attributable to bad trainers, but even here there is something missing. Bad breeders - natural reproduction would select for fitness, and truly bad dogs would be limited to a small fraction of background instances. We have lots of people actively breeding killers with outsized agression and fear and ferocity, with hair triggers, on purpose. I’m not talking about guard dogs where fierce protective instincts are balanced with loyalty and bonding and intelligence. I mean literal psychokillers.

I’m circling around Pit-Bulls and the like, but I need to be clear. The breed is fine. Some of my best friends are pit bulls. Diversity naturally makes most of them good dogs, just more context dependant and trainer demanding. I’m not talking about those. I’m only referring to a small subset that were overbred and the natural background level of freakshow.

If you’ve only known pets from reputable breeders, accidental litters or the shelter rescues, understand that these select for the good dogs. If that’s all you know, you would have reason to doubt that bad dogs are possible.

Fine. Winning lottery numbers then. I can ponder the depths of the other ineffable questions from a beach with a tasty beverage somewhere nice.

How does one get grants for this type of research? Asking for a friend.

Not all. There are some bad boys out there.

Winning lottery numbers for next draw. When will humanity go extinct? Where are the nearest 1 billion species with near human level intelligence or greater. How do we safely and conveniently travel faster than light.

So many to choose.

You sure you want that?

When the drugs wear off.

Well, there’s your problem. Don’t get high for the job you have. Get high for the job you want.
