The Agent Smith virus would have killed everyone still plugged into the Matrix, leaving only the Zion survivors. Even if the lie of Neo being the one was the case, it was still down to Neo to make that choice, on several occassions he's hesitant to make that choice because of his love for Trinity.
The Architect even makes that point. The whole plot for peace pivots on the choice of Neo, whether Smith is the 1 anomaly or not. Neo and Smith together are what cause the changes to the system, albeit the intention of the Oracle. The Oracle says "..no one can see past a choice they don't understand..", this could mean even she doesn't know if Neo can save (choose) Zion. She makes remarks to support this.
More proof is that there have been 6 anomalies, meaning 6 attempts, each failing to make the correct choice. Leading to the destruction of Zion each time. Which makes the role of the 1 very dependant on the human factor.
Which makes Neo the hero.
But how did Neo use his powers outside of the Matrix? Do those implants have bluetooth!?
This is just sort of hilarious. This is Diablo 3. This is a twitch streamer getting #1 in the game. It's more like a turn based strategy game than a real time game. It's partially to compensate for crazy lag on the servers when there's this many different random effects going on at once.
I know nothing about Turnbull, but he can't be as bad as Abbott.
He was fucking BRUTAL in his announcement speech. Some highlights:
And we need a different style of leadership. We need a style of leadership that explains those challenges and opportunities, explains the challenges and how to seize the opportunities. A style of leadership that respects the people's intelligence, that explains these complex issues and then sets out the course of action we believe we should take and makes a case for it. We need advocacy, not slogans.
We need to respect the intelligence of the Australian people.
Now if we continue with Mr Abbott as Prime Minister, it is clear enough what will happen. He will cease to be Prime Minister and he'll be succeeded by Mr Shorten.
(Note - "Mr Shorten" refers to Bill Shorten, Labour Party leader, and Leader of the Opposition.)
Surely one of the most important foundations of our prosperity, to know that he is utterly unfit to be Prime Minister of this country and yet so he will be if we do not make a change.
The one thing that is clear about our current situation is the trajectory. We have lost 30 Newspolls in a row. It is clear that the people have made up their mind about Mr Abbott's leadership.
There must be an end to policy on the run and captain's calls. We need to be truly consultative with colleagues, members of Parliament, senators and the wider public.
The general consensus is that Turnbull has it in the bag already, but you never know - after all, this is the second or third spill attempt in 12 months or so.
Also, Julie Bishop has outright said she refuses to continue serving under Abbot, Current Finance minister Hockey and Deputy PM/Infrastructure minister Truss have given him their full support.
Shorten, unsurprisingly, has called the move(and Turnbull) "Out of touch and Arrogant", considering that putting Turnbull in charge with a 10-ish month run to an election puts a big dent in his previously all but assured victory at the next election.
I'm told Turnbull has roughly 60 votes out of a possible 102, Abbot has 30. Turnbull needs a minimum of 54 to take the leadership.
Abbot's response was to claim that "Since coming to Government, our team has stopped the boats, improved the budget, cut taxes and increased jobs" which you can judge for yourself the truth of, and that "The prime ministership of this country is not a prize or a plaything to be demanded... It should be something which is earned by a vote of the Australian people", showing that he doesn't understand either what the newspolls imply, or how the Westminister system of government works.
And he's fucking gone. Adios, mad monk. 54-44 in Turnbull's favor on the final vote. Julie Bishop takes a diagonal step to deputy, 70-30. No word on if Abbot supporting members will remain in their positions, resign their cabinet spots, or whatever else.
Okay, so for real, we use the Westminster parliamentary system. Which means we don't vote for a Prime Minister directly, we vote for a party, who selects a prime minister from their ranks, practically always the Leader of the Party. The losing party become "The Opposition", with the Shadow Cabinet, which is a really cool name for a bunch of really fucking boring shit, but that's not relevant right now.
A part of this is that if the party is dissatisfied with the prime minister for one reason or another, they can declare the leadership position vacant, and take a vote among Members of the party to elect a new leader. The status quo can either remain, or you can get a new leader.
You can also spill multiple positions - both the Prime Minister and Deputy positions were spilled this time around.
Thisafternoon, Federal Communications Minister Malcom Turnbull resigned his cabinet post, and declared that he was challenging the leadership - with an absolutely blistering speech condemning Abbot and the current state of the Liberal Party(who, confusingly, are the Right wing conservative party).
So, they took it to a vote within the party, and He won the required 54 votes to roll Tony Abbot as leader of the Liberal Party, and Prime Minister of Australia. Julie Bishop, previous speaker of the house, won the spill for Deputy Leader over Warren Truss, the previous Deputy Prime minister.
The reasons for this are overwhelmingly numerous, but in short, basically everybody hated everything about Tony Abbot, except for the most die-hard of right-wing loons and the extremely religious. Including his own party. His public support was effectively zero, and they were looking at an unprecedented wipeout at the next election - basically, to win, all the Opposition had to do was enter the race(which they do by default, basically).
So, his party have decided to roll him, in the hope of having a chance the next time the public goes to vote.
Also, our new Prime minister, Malcom Turnbull, is directly related to Angela Lansbury. This isn't really important, but still worth noting.
I like how the spill took like twelve hours - rumors in the morning, vote announcement in the afternoon, and it's over by the end of the day. Very efficient.

There's one thing that's not efficient - Tony still hasn't turned in his resignation as the PM to the Governor General. Needs to take advice from the disney movie and let it go.
Here's some fun - He got axed three days from being eligible for a Prime Minister's pension.
His leaving speech is a giggle, too. He claims he's not going to obstruct the handover, and do everything he can to facilitate the change...when the only ones getting changed are him and his deputy. He claims he's never leaked or backgrounded on anyone - that's a barefaced lie. And then he blamed the media, of course. It's an oblique temper tantrum because he can only point the finger outward, rather than looking inward, so he's blaming everybody but the person responsible - himself.
I'm not clear on why these chains deserve praise for using fewer antibiotics.
Use of antibiotics in agriculture is a major contributor to antibiotic resistance. They are typically given to animals at subtherapeutic doses as a growth stimulant. At least half of the antibiotics used in the west are fed to animals in this manner.
GMO's aren't necessarily bad or at least not for the reasons people often think so Chipotle doing this is just reinforcing the anti-GMO crowd's beliefs.

If by "west" you mean 'Merica than yes otherwise no. Antibiotics aren't growth stimulants.
Antibiotics in feed vary from country to country but the EU tends to set the gold standard and if a farmer wants to export livestock to the EU or Japan as a competitor they have to adhere to the country's guidelines. Also smashing antibiotics through your feed is extremely expensive and only produces offspring with less robust immune systems.
Also a big no no in the dairy industry, when I worked on a dairy farm, as soon as a cow was on any antibiotic they couldn't be milked into the cumulative tank to be sold until the antibiotic's milk holding period had expired (which is why dairy farmers hate having to give systemic antibiotics and going to sleep late).
I don't know wholly what antibiotics and at what levels they are allowed in feeds in the US, likely higher than over here based on that article and what I can remember from University.
It's only really used in a full feed tank with poultry on an irregular basis over here and if there is a positive diagnosis of Avian Influenza your entire flock is culled and burned.
