Gotcha.

Also, I’m now wondering if it would be appropriate to have a network of distributed servers, each dedicated to a particular country. Would provide a lot more breathing room.

What country code uses INF?

I was hoping to demonstrate a particular city with that reference.

Define zero-sum in the context you’re using.

Doesthedogdie literally has about 100 different categories (more than even the letters of the alphabet). Analysis Paralysis is a thing. That’s why we don’t want to balloon it. It’s also why movies don’t target specific ages on their ratings already, but a range of ages. Too many options means less familiarity with the system and information overload.

I know a lot of people who are more upset by knives than guns. You can’t describe every little detail in a film, because someone could get upset about it. The ratings are a guide for parents on what’s appropriate for their kids.

I feel the same, but the US literally outlaws it on TV.

Take a look at 31: https://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/the-68-words-you-cant-say-on-tv

That’s where I got it. It’s a lot more direct. But the categories make absolutely no sense.

D, for example, is sexually suggestive speech. L is language. Why are they separate? Kids who can hear shit, hell, fuck, and damn, should be able to hear about Daddy opening Mom’s bra.

Or, sexual symbolism. You’ve got about 3 letters, in one rating that indicate varying degrees of sex, and no other objectionable content.

Because this could balloon quickly into including all letters of the alphabet. Does it pass the Bechtel Test?Does it include blood, but not violence? I’m not arguing for more information, but enough information to know what’s included.

Physical force against people, or animals, with the intent of harm, is the legal definition of violence.

If someone purposefully kills a dog, they’ve committed violence.

Can you make a case that animal and human violence should be separate categories?

Unfortunately, making the animal distinction creates a lot of problems.

What if the show is focused on animal characters, like Looney Toons? Or, if someone shoots a bird for food?

The V label would apply to both situations.

VNS-17

Descrbes what the film contains and a recommended age.

Alcohol, tobacco, smoking, street, and vaping are all legally regulated recreational drugs.

Violence would use the legal definition. Using physical force with the intent of harm towards someone else.

Family Guy would be rated LVNDB.

Looney Toons VD

Dexter’s Lab V

Telly Tubbies …

It isn’t just me, mate. I’ve got contacts from several states expressing the same things. Hell, some of the people I used to know from Europe are posting the same crap. And, I am a “commoner.”

This is just one of the MANY polls showing up on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/MapBasedPolls/comments/1x63813/are_we_in_the_golden_age_of_america/

Which is indicative of late-stage capitalism. Add that with questions about what the ideal population size is, posts asking how the rich are going to kill us off, critiques about healthcare being their method of choice, why they’re buying up land, and a few other talking points and you get a pretty clear picture of what’s going on in peoples’ heads. Why rich people purposefully act stupid in public, etc.

I mean, it’s a sense among the commoners. School-aged kids, people about to exit the workforce. It’s all over Reddit, Facebook, Instagram. Little questions here and there. If you haven’t run into it, you’re extremely isolated by something. Or, lack the ability to pick up on the most basic of social cues. Hell, I’ve seen it on Mastodon.

Probably should broaden your social interactions then? Get out of your ivory academic towers and start hanging out with the commoners? Just took a poll, over on Reddit, asking what the ideal population of Earth would be.

There are whispers all throughout society, concerning the rich trying to kill us off and take all our resources. Hell, Americans all believe the reason their healthcare sucks as bad as it does, is because American billionaires want all their land and homes. Trying take all their possessions, kill them all off, and then go back to feudalism, where each billionaire gets a stretch of land to look after, and millionaires have to answer to them. Hence, why they’re buying more and more land.

Bill Gates, alone, has 275,000 acres. And he keeps buying more.

The ideas are trending across multiple social networking sites.

It’s Turing complete.

But you have a choice for the doctor/ER you use.

Yeah, because if the poor die off, doctors no longer have people lower than they are. They’re the next on the chopping block. There’s no need for as many of them as there are.

If you’re not the best of the best, you’re dying out.

The only essential workers are tradespeople. And a massive amount of them will be killed off as well. Have you seen how many of them are going into those fields?

Planned obsolescence won’t help keep jobs, because the college-educated rich are only going to pay for the best.

I’m hearing this scenario from everyone. I’m looking to clear up a few details.

And, don’t companies like Walmart prove that it is more profitable to take smaller gains, over time, than large profits?

And when a massive number of people die at once?

When the lowest in society die, there will be a new lower class to take its place – closer to the doctors themselves.
