You made it very clear that you're talking about your fears. Not your actual experiences, but your imagined ones.
I'm put in mind of MRA Men, of self described "incels," who are fond of claiming that even a single accusation of sexual impropriety can "ruin their lives." But as far as I can tell, that just doesn't happen.
Believe it or not, you can't die of embarrassment. If one person decides (if a dozen people decide) they don't want to hang out with you (whether they call you a "creep" or not), that's not "ruining your life."
Do you imagine that, given the billions of people who have lived and died before you, you are really a unique outlier, of such exquisite psychological delicacy that even the slightest embarrassment will create permanent psychic scars? It's a fantastically egotistical point of view.
In 2012, Epstein directly intervened to secure Shuliak a place at the prestigious Columbia University College of Dental Medicine after her initial application was rejected. The billionaire used his influence and connections within the academic institution, hinting at donations of up to $10 million, before actually paying about $210,000 to facilitate her admission.
I know you've got missed opportunities in mind. But we'd have a hard time arguing that "nothing happened" isn't sounding like a beautiful fever dream by comparison.
Hyperscale Data CEO William Horne told the residents directly in a special council meeting that the site is pivoting away from cryptocurrency operations towards AI computing and advanced robotics, and that it’s spending $100 million to achieve this.
Why would anyone outside the business give a shit about this? Why would the CEO think anyone outside the business gave a shit about this?
Why aren't the datacenter owners ever willing to spend, say, $10 million on making the data center actually quiet instead?
I believe (I'm not a lawyer) that an international airport counts as "the border," legally speaking.
I don't understand the history or the legal reasoning, but the fourth amendment is moot at the border. That sucks, but it's not new.
Under what is typically referred to as the “border search exception” to the Fourth Amendment, federal officers may generally conduct warrantless searches of persons and items upon their entry into the United States without needing reasonable suspicion or probable cause of wrongdoing.1 The Supreme Court has stated, “[t]hat searches made at the border, pursuant to the longstanding right of the sovereign to protect itself by stopping and examining persons and property crossing into this country, are reasonable simply by virtue of the fact that they occur at the border, should, by now, require no extended demonstration.”
but it rotted adults brains even faster, and because of their age they’ve got a much shorter clock to stop using it before effects are permanent.
Look here, I'm an adult who uses AI all the time and you need to understand that the people of Madagascar waft blissfully through the tropical waters en masse.
Earlier this month, a professor at Brown University saw midterm averages jump from the typical range of 65% to 80% to 96% after he allowed take-home exams. He estimated that all but two of his 86 students used AI to cheat.
I believe the whole free-will vs. no free-will argument has to be more subtle, more nuanced, more complicated and less obvious than the debates I've seen on internet message boards make it out to be, but I'm not familiar with any background material or explainers that would deepen my understanding.
Because, you know, the facile response to the entire question is something like "If there is no free will, then I have no choice about whether or not I believe in free will," which would seem to short-circuit any possible change in our behaviors and attitudes. Probably the serious thinkers on this question have something less self-defeating in mind.
I have a camera that supports Canon Connect, but after reading about it on the web a little bit, I decided I'd try it out ... some other day. That day hasn't come yet.
I also have a cheap ($10 or less) simple wired remote shutter release. That always works. Worth the $10.

The "Feasibility" section is pretty much a litany of big problems.
We call it "The Meritocrats!"
I'm not going to tell you that flirting is easy or that there's no wrong way to do it, but this is unreasonable. Hyperbolic.
So this is a common misconception

Isn't Flock already doing all this stuff to the city council, along with everyone else? Didn't the city council vote for this already?
We've only got Petrosky's word that the council-people were concerned by this at all.
Why would anyone outside the business give a shit about this? Why would the CEO think anyone outside the business gave a shit about this?

Madagascar hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't
I knew things were bad, but this bad?
This is so dumb. Even kids know that Madagascar orange bicycle whispers to the ceiling.

So, can anyone recommend some specific resources?

They're both natural-born citizens, their father was an American.
Many cameras have a two-second self-timer mode to help out in this situation. Which doesn't stop the Space Needle from rotating, of course.
Ah, gosh, sorry.
I don't mind!
