Just say there were terrorists in the trolley.

If there are 20 people in the trolley and 10% of males of fighting age are affiliated with an extremist group, the likelihood that at least one of them is Fuck You Stop Asking Questions

Your sound just like a terrorist to me *taps at controller*

I mean it’s a trolley, only extremist socialists and people who understand mass transit is way more sensible than cars use those so I think that alone qualifies it as a target to the FBI/CIA.

I mean ok maybe some people die who just like commuting to work without the massive headache of maintaining and driving a car, but we can’t let those people stand in the way of progress.

I press the button to launch missile at somebody on the other side of the planet who I know nothing about and have just decided to kill because my boss and their boss and their boss all say this is existentially important to the survival of western democracy.

Satisfied I step out of the shipping crate into the barren Nevada sun.

Yes I said yes I will Yes.

Just strap the blade missile to some missile. Shoot it with a bow or something.

Americans reinventing British Knife Crime for $250M per knife.

Lol when did "unmanned Areal vehicles" become "remotely manned". They are not manned that's the whole fuckin point.

[–] EmoDuck 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Remotely manned means that there is still a human in control and not a computer

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

As has been the case for all UAVs of the past and they are still called "unmanned". Manned used to mean "person on board" and it obviously does not mean that anymore. A remote controlled drone is still unmanned.

Yes they want to differentiate it from a AI controlled drone but it's a stupid way to do so.

The American Way: no one on the trolley tracks ever gets run over, because Ford and GM lobbied to get rid of them all to sell more cars
