@sentientsixp If it was something like Google Glass... maybe. If the right safety is built into it. Absurdly dangerous for a full VR headset though. You've got system crashes, sudden vision quality drops, lag, etc.. I don't see it ever being safe enough to drive with.
@map_easy@IntuitMachine The skills being taught here can't be replaced with the press of a button. It's the thinking that goes into an essay that counts. Text analysis, critical thinking, how to make an argument, etc. We live in the information age. Those skills are getting more important not less.
@philwrite@MrGarrywilliams@IsraelWarRoom@muhammadshehad2 A ton of Journalists, UN workers, and NGO workers killed in a short amount of time. Internet blackouts. Denial of entry to outside independent investigators/media. "Verified by whom?" Fuck off.
@GroverNorquist The private sector had its chance. They blew it.

@johnjennings101@officejjsmart On the I.T. side, the U.S. definitely made that mistake. Took a long time for the U.S. to realize that cyber mercenaries were a problem.
@TolerantOpinion @ThorDeplorable Incidents from the 2010s. There were plenty. https://t.co/DIIZ2OvZoo The truth is more boring and interesting at the same time. Petrochemical ind. has always been full of hazards. It takes a lot of work and training to improve safety. If you're bored watch a USCSB video on YT.
@CuriousArtemis @SketchesbyBoze It's sad they don't value those skills. Especially if they are career focused. In college, my IT department chair said employers complained that IT grads struggled with communication. As an IT professional, I owe a lot the humanities classes I took. For my writing and thinking.
@Boobieoiiiiiiio@MatohWakan "Our democratic-republican government is based on the idea of the natural right of each individual member thereof to a voice and a vote in making and executing the laws." Susan B Anthony. 1873
@Boobieoiiiiiiio@MatohWakan The founders opposed direct democracy/pure democracy. Every citizen directly voting on every issue. We are a democratic republic. We elect representatives to vote on our behalf. Which is still a form of democracy. The power of the representatives still comes from the people.
