If there's a conflict and I get to choose whether or not the side I'm on has killbots, I'll definitely choose killbots. Especially if the enemy has them.
I would save the analogy to a fire with the maximum number of alarms for the stuff that will happen later. This one will have just one alarm in retrospect.
It's just hard to believe someone important intentionally did a Nazi salute (twice!) at Trump's inauguration. I would really prefer to have it be stupidity rather than malice, but of course that's not how the world works.
Edit: I looked up how Fox News is framing this story, and their focus is on the fact that "liberal media outlets" are accusing Musk of something outrageous, with the implication that he did nothing wrong. At least Fox does have good photographs of his salute for the people who learned something from Jeremiah 5:21.
I have a certificate of naturalization, so it's probably easier for me to prove my citizenship than it is for someone born in the USA (to citizen parents).
An interesting thing about atoms is that all atoms of the same isotope are fundamentally identical. In other words, they're not just the same as far as we can tell. They are absolutely the same. This challenges human intuition about identity, because while an atom can be said to have a specific history, there is literally no trace of that history in the atom itself. If God swapped two atoms of the same sort, only he could ever know.
Consider software. You downloaded your copy of My Little Pony: The Movie from a particular source, but if that source turned out to be disgusting you wouldn't have any urge to delete your copy and then download a new copy from someone else. Atoms ought to be considered like software in this way.
(This is relevant because "eating" involves breaking food down into individual molecules.)
