Which, in the scenario given, doesn't have anything to do with harassment

While certainly inappropriate behavior for the workplace, I fail to see how the intended answer of C is in any way harassment. Without further context, A and B are equally possible of being harassment. I'd probably talk to whatever manager or HR representative was observing this little test about the question.

You're underplaying the mental tole of watching the dumbest person you know accidentally slither their way into a leadership position, and proceed to make extremely preventable mistakes that cost the company a lot of money without ever getting punished for it

There's a lot of legal problems with trying to make DC a state, and ultimately it would require at least a federal Constitutional Amendment to even make it possible

If you're referencing the Day After Tomorrow scenario, it won't go down like that. The North Atlantic Current is threatening to shut down in a similar way, but the upside down hurricanes over land bit sucking super cold air from the upper atmosphere bit is not actually a thing. Europe will get a lot colder, but not the rest of the world.

...both of my parents think that. Dad isn't that much of a surprise, but Mom is.

Graduated high school in 2008, only my first elementary school had one. The second elementary school, the middle school, and the high school all lacked one. But both the middle school and the high school had a Student Resource Officer from the police department. *shrug*

Considering municipal infrastructure is inherently public property, no. He might have responsibilities to taking care of it, but there is no scenario in which it can belong to him.

It speaks to intent and premeditation. You didn't just happen to be wandering by, see the open or unsecured window, and help yourself to something inside. You brought a tool to aide you in entering into the space.

I accept that the statement is true, however, I think you'll find that the same statement is true of most nations in the Northern Hemisphere

We absolutely lost the War on Terror. Board any flight on any airline and you'll see it. Extensive security theater, that's been studied to have made actual security worse rather than better.

We lost the War on Drugs, too.

The difference being that the Xwing has it's own hyperdrive capabilities, so it's not dependent on a carrier vessel for long range transport. Vipers do not have this capability, and must return to the Battlestar.

As it happens, this is also the difference between the Xwing and the various models of TIE Fighter. TIE Fighters were much easier to mass produce, but at the cost of incredible simplicity. No shield generators, not atmospherics, the bare minimum of armor plating... but dirt cheap.

Ah, one of the turtle man's valued constituents. That explains quite a lot.

It doesn't even have to be that complex. All it has to do is start targeting the wrong bacteria, say something critical to digestion. Suddenly, no matter how much you eat, you aren't getting any nutrition, and you have to be on an IV basically forever because restarting your internal microbial ecosystem is extraordinarily difficult.

Yes, but only specific parts of our infrastructure will destroy themselves without ongoing management. Most of it will simply stop working, leaving the machinery intact for use later when the robot army is created. A small amount of production divergence to maintenance and operator bots would be able to bring everything else online. Naturally, you'd deploy them to the critical, explodey parts first.

In concept, this is exactly the kind of thing that AIs should be doing. It removes a menial task from a greater project, letting those involved focus on what's actually going on with other more pertinent tasks.

In practice, however, AIs are not even remotely secured, meaning the entire content of your sessions WILL be used for further training of other AIs. This, in turn, means that anyone with access to the training data has access to the notes taken of your sessions. They cannot be trusted.

He just happens to be the one sitting in the chair when the long term work finally pays off. Not that I doubt he'd happily do whatever he can to support ongoing efforts, this didn't happen because of him.

I mean, humans are definitely to blame, but CO2 is only a small part of the problem
