>Constitutionally, states cannot deny citizens the right to vote.
Yes they can. States can deny citizens the right to vote for "participation in rebellion, or other crime", as per the 14th Amendment and felons are often denied the right to vote. They can't do so on the basis of "race, color or former servitude" (15th Amendment) and probably not any other protected class reason (sex, religion, ethnicity) but that implicitly gives states the right to do so for any other reason.
>This is what AI was fucking promoted as being for! The utopia where machines do all our work and we receive universal basic income to enjoy our freedoms.
No one promised any utopia of any sort. The only promise was that AI would put people out of work. The rest is just some naive Star Trek bullshit that was never on the table.
I can tell you that almost every single enthusiastic proponent of the technology I've ever spoken to has pretty much guaranteed this is where it takes us... But correct, its naïve as hell.
I used to do this with videos on DeoVR - they had a couple of long drive channels (usually across Korea) or biking in Japan - while on my exercise bike. After their app stopped working for me I looked for similar videos on Youtube.
I found a lot but unfortunately the VR ones tend to be badly compressed. There are a lot of 8K HD walking/driving videos but none of them are VR.
It is objectively better than staring at my back wall, though.
Somewhat related: Something I learned about South Korea is that a non-Korean service can't export detailed location data, so Google Maps doesn't work there. No turn-by-turn. Navar Maps is a local one to use if you're there.
They are still technically at war with the North, so some strange things like this come up. Awesome place to visit generally! Seoul is an awesome city, and Busan is gorgeous.
I use an app called Wander to do this in my Oculus Quest. With some lo-fi music it really helps with anxiety.
It really is fun just picking some random spot on the map, some random neighborhood no tourist would ever think to visit, and poking around.
I actually had a hobby of posting "virtual vacation pictures" for a while. Not any attempt at a business or going viral or anything, just literally cool things I found and took pictures of. No one cared but I thought it was cool.
You don't get to decide who is and isn't a "true" Christian when all it takes is to believe in Jesus' death and resurrection, which even the Prosperity Gospel Christians and Christian Nationalists do.
God does. Judging by their actions and the hate they show towards their neighbors, I get to draw the conclusion they’re not following Jesus Christ’s teachings or the Bible.
Luigi didn't trigger any sort of mass uprising against the elites, didn't inspire copycats or revolutionaries. No reform of insurance or pharma costs occurred, all of the problems he ostensibly opposed are still there. He just got arrested and became a meme for a while.
Meh, I think a lot of my people in my cohort are a lot more sympathetic towards people who lash out violently against the Kafkaesque capitalist system that many of us are suffering under. It also engrained a cultural understanding (in my cohort) that profit-seeking is not a shield of innocence: many agree that the leadership of United was inherently evil due to their business practices.
So, there has been a shift in our shared reality. Maybe not as significant as something like 9/11, but maybe an order of magnitude or two below it.
